Vendor Reviews in Utica/Rome

Hair: Grippe's Salon. Absolutely wonderful. Christina did my hair and make-up and I was completely happy with it. Not to mention their prices are pretty low ($85 for both hair and make-up)

Ceremony/Reception Site : The Beeches. Dawn, the coordinator was so much help. She talked with the vendors the day of to make sure everyone was on queue. The food was amazing and wait staff was quick and efficient.

DJ: Black Tie Entertainment. Mike was the DJ and I was pretty disappointed that when I asked for the traditional wedding march he played a song. It was a nice song but not what I asked for. He did keep to the do not play list and played good music the rest of the time. He read the crowd and played what they wanted. Overall they did good.

Wedding Dress: MeMe's Formals. I will never shop here again. I thought everything would go smoothly because my dress came in three months before we expected it, but that was the only thing that went right. I purchased my veil and crinoline and after I called to see if they came in the informed that the veil was discontinued and they couldn't order it. They didn't call to let me know and then tried to give me the one they had in the store and only took $25 off of the $125 veil, The comb was broken and I wasn't happy. When my sister went in to try on her dress one of the women that worked there commented on kids having kids (my sister has two but they have no idea who she is or even if she was married). That really hurt my sister's feelings and made her angry. Then after I pointed out that I was missing a bead on my dress three times, I went to pick it up and they still hadn't sewn one on. It started and ended on a high but the middle story was terrible.

Photography: CML Photography. Claudia took over as soon as we said I do and made sure she had every romantic shot that I had asked for and many more. Her pictures are beautiful and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Cake: Cake's by Chris. The cake was really nice and delicious and really, really cheap.

    My ceremony and reception are at the Beeches too! :) And, FI went to school with Dawn's kids!

    Glad to hear that everything went smoothing with the Beeches.

    So sorry to hear about your dress experience! The most important dress a woman wil ever wear should be treated as such, and it's sad to hear that the salespeople couldn't be bothered with that task (you know, their job). Glad everything else was wonderful for you though!

    I went to Grippe's as well. LOVED them, and they totally saved two of my bridesmaid's hair after another salon did a terrible job. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended.

    Happy to know that two of these are my vendors :)  Sorry also to hear about the bad dress experience.  If it makes you feel any better the other popular dress store in our area isn't much better!
