I haven't posted here much, however, I wanted to share reviews of my vendors from my May 15, 2010 wedding in Williamsport. Hope they help! If you need additional info or have questions, just message me!
PURE LUXE BRIDAL CONSULTANTS: A+++++
I cannot say enough about Pure Luxe Bridal Consultants and Francesca DiSalvo-Follmer. While I had most of my vendors booked when I met Francesca (and only because they were the vendors from her wedding!), Francesca helped me plan the details of my big day and helped ease my fears and stresses. She has an incredible knowledge of weddings and was truly a blessing in my planning process. When we chatted, it didn't feel like I was talking to my day-of coordinator, but an old friend. On my wedding day, Francesca made sure everything was perfect and the day went off without a hitch. It was a dream-come-true! I would highly recommend Pure Luxe Bridal Consultants - don't try to plan the most important day of your life by yourself! Even the most organized girls need some help!
DISALVO'S RESTAURANT: A+++++
The team at DiSalvo's is INCREDIBLE! They truly made me feel like I was a part of their family. They are very detail oriented and accommodating, working with you to stay in your budget while creating the perfect reception experience. The room doesn't need much, it's breathtaking as it is, but the way they helped put everything together, I was so pleased when I got to my reception. They were very attentive the day of and throughout the entire process. The food was absolutely delicious. My guests could not stop raving about it, and we were so excited with how well everything turned out. If you're getting married in Williamsport, DiSalvo's is the only place to have your reception.
IMPRESSIONS PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO & GALLERY: A+++++
Gordon is AMAZING! He was so personable in the planning process, working with me to figure out what style of photography I wanted for my day. He makes you feel at ease and really gets to know you and your wedding party - and he helps your style and personality come through in your photos. He really personalizes the process and listens to what you want. The day-of he was incredible. He was so friendly and EVERYWHERE, my guests commented on how he popped up all over the place! And yet, he wasn't intrusive. When I got my pictures back, I was stunned. He truly captured the most beautiful images from my special day and the moments that I will want to remember forever. I highly recommend him, and definitely think that if you're going to spend a little extra money, your photography is the place to do it.
GRAMMY SUE'S CAKES & COOKIES: A++
I was very happy with my cake and working with Suzann. Her cake is delicious, though our marble layer didn't have as much chocolate as I would like, but that was just in my (chocoholic) opinion. As far as cake design goes, she is amazing. My cake was beautiful and an exact replica of the photo I showed her.
NEVILL'S FLOWERS: A++
Nevill's did a wonderful job with my flowers. Rosemary met with me multiple times to tweak my order. My flowers were beautiful, though they were not exactly what I asked for. My advice is to make sure you tell Nevill's EXACTLY what you want and find photos of EXACTLY what you (not something that shows what you want, with some tweaks or with a small change...that's what I did, and the change didn't make it to my wedding day. It was a simple color difference - purple-hued mauves that I didn't want, though they were still pretty. But I wanted pink only, no purple.) Also make sure you tell them EXACTLY what you don't want, so you don't end up with it! Even with some slight differences in what I asked for, the flowers did turn out great and I would definitely recommend Nevill's!
DATMAN ENTERTAINMENT: B
Let me start out by saying that Daryl was very nice - I enjoyed meeting with him and discussing what I wanted for a DJ at my wedding. He was very accommodating, knowing that I didn't want an over-the-top DJ that would put on his own show. However, for a hyper-communicator like myself, the time lapse between his e-mails and returning of phone calls was very unnerving. If you're a calm bride, this probably wouldn't bother you. But difficulty getting in touch with him increased my stress level. He did a great job at my wedding, though he didn't play as many songs I had requested (I guess I should've specified the bride's requests go over the guests!) I have to say that I didn't communicate what I wanted as timely as I should have and it's something I didn't put as much thought into, but I definitely recommend putting time into shaping the music of your reception to make sure the songs you want played are definitely played.
LA CHIC SALON TOTAL IMAGE SALON: A+++++
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love La Chic! Lindsey is AMAZING! My hair was absolutely PERFECT! Exactly what I wanted. She is such a sweet girl and did a wonderful job on all my girls' hair. She saved the day, taking on the appointments last-minute and I'm truly grateful for her! I would definitely recommend La Chic!
