My wedding was amazing. All of my vendors were wonderful. We only had one problem with the whole day but I think it will turn out okay. Reception: Marriott Cincinnati North: West ChesterA++++++++++I cannot say enough about the Marriott. Everything was perfect. The food was great and the full service that they offer makes things so easy. Meghan the wedding planner does a wonderful job and was very thorough with me and was in constant communication. Our guests enjoyed a special rate for hotel rooms as well as we received a bridal suite for free and our parents also received free rooms. We also had a hospitality room for the weekend that we used and put beer, wine, soda and snacks in. Our guests had a great after party in the hospitality room and we also hosted breakfast the next day. The full service of the marriott was amazing. I highly recommend it. Ceremony: St. Julie's Catholic Church hamiltonA+This was my church. It is incredibly beautiful and Fr. Mike gave a great ceremony.Flowers: Two Little BudsA+++++++++++++++++++I cannot say enough about Two Little Buds. My flowers were amazing and Mindy was wonderful. I met with her several times and her full service was great. She set up and cleaned up. She delivered flowers to my parents house, the photography site, the church, and the reception. She pinned boutineers on and showed us how to hold our flowers. We had to do nothing which was wonderful.Cakes - Cakes by ErinA++++Our cake looked amazing and tasted wonderful. Erin will do any flavors and she is very reasonable. She doesn't up charge like the large companies. Her business is ran out of her house and she was a great find. The cake was very moist!Attire - Bridal and Formal and Jos A BanksBridal and Formal - AI worked with Betsy to find my dress and she was wonderful. My dress was all lace and they recommended that the manufacturer do my length which was a great idea. We also got the girls dresses from their and they worked out wonderful. My only problem was that one of my girls dresses was a little too tight. Luckily she did a quick diet and it worked.Alterations - Pauline MillerA++++Pauline was great. She took my dress in and did my bustle. The dress fit like a glove and looked beautiful. She also made my sash because I couldn't order one in diamond white through bridal and formal. Photography - RockettreeI cannot really give them a grade yet. I did have some issues and I haven't seen my photos yet. I have gotten my thank you note photo and I Have received the teasers and they looked great. Unfortunately I did have issues on day of. Rachel was suppose to do my photos and she got kidney stones on the day of my wedding. Not a problem I totally understand, but I didn't get any phone calls. Doug manning showed up and he thought I already knew about the situation but I did not so I was rather upset. I felt it wasn't handle right. It was a surprise on my day. I also was suppose to have two photographers all day but since Rachel had problems she had to call in another photographer and our 2nd photographer did not stay all day. He was there for 1/2 of our 9 hours. Doug Manning however did a terrific job and really wanted to make things up for me. I think it will all work out once we get our photos. I am hoping for a happy ending in my one disappointment of the day. If you would like to see the teasers visit this website:
