Venue (ceremony & reception) - Hilton Mansion on the Hill ( a.k.a. RTP or RDU Hilton) LOVED THEM! So accommadating! We did the cereomny on their lawn instead of the courtyard (where outside wedding normally take place). It was beautiful! We did the cocktail hour in the courtyard instead. We used the Magnolia room for our reception...it's smaller but perfect for our wedding. very cute (not a giant square!). They also treated our guests wonderfully. My dad thought he was getting special treatment being the FOB, but asked other guests and they agreed with him.
Catering - Hilton So yummy! even made yukon gold mashed potatoes just for my husband! I think that's all he ate for dinner!
Hair & Make-up - Bella Trio (in Sutton Station by Southpoint) Wonderful! Jodi did my hair and Emily did my make-up. These 2 often get called to do photo shoots for southern bridal mags.
Flowers - Brides & Bouquets (Cary, NC) Greg was awesome! I went to 3 different florists, told them the same exact thing, and he had the best quote (and stuck to it!) I loved my flowers! He even put the sunflowers that i wanted for my girls' bouquets in mine! It was a great surprise!
Cake - Sweet Memories (Apex) DELICIOUS!!!! My husband is not big into sweets. Our bottom layer was sweet potato cake (I know...scary to hear but AMAZING to eat!). When we fed it to each other we both had forgotten how good it was. After the wedding was over, I found my husband eating cake...and not just one piece!
Photographer - JAM Photography People always say "Don't hire your friends" I'm So glad that I didn't listen to them! Jordan and Mindy did an amazing job! I'm slightly obsessed with the sneak peek they put up on their blog. I cannot wait to see everything they got! They're not that expensive (by comparison) either! A few $1000 cheaper than anyone else I looked at. You can go look at the sneak peek if you want!
www.jordanandmindy.com look in their blog. I'm the bride with the adorable baby with the BEST rolls!
