Inlight Photography Studio: A+
Before the wedding: This husband and wife couple were awesome! A blast to work with. 
During: Amazing! Justin called to say his wife was out of town for personal reasons, but that two photographers took her place. They got all the shots we wanted, were on time, dressed nice, and great!


Larosas: A+
They were perfect to work with, brought the food on time, and had amazing food!! I can't rave enough about them!


Kyleair DJ: A+ (Perfect!)
Jermaine Britten, kyeair@yahoo.com
He was great to work with! He got into an accident before the wedding and still came with a smile! He was wonderful. We all loved him!


Jerrys Cheesecake: B
http://www.jerryscheesecakes.com/
The cake was wonderful, but they aren't great with appomitments or communication.


Venue: Voice of America park - B (before) and F (during/after) 
Before the wedding: They worked with us a lot and were very helpful, however there are two offices that handle the events. The right hand didn't seem to know what the left hand was doing. This caused some difficulty regarding payments and what we had reserved. Planning the wedding, Gina was great. 

But during the ceremony the bartender yelled at my mom about the set up, then came to me during dinner and right before the toasts and said "I don't know if your mom told you, but your bill is in the back. It needs to be paid tonight". Then he touched my underage guests inappropriately. 
*if it wasn't as beautiful as it was, it would have ruined our night

Bridesmaids Dresses: Bridal and Formal - B
http://www.bridalandformalinc.com/
Before the wedding: When my MOH and I picked out the dresses, they were more than helpful. When I went to pick the dresses up, they seemed fine, but after my BM tried them on, they were all big and one had the sash coming off. She told me that it was normal they were big. Also, they would fix the sash or reimburse my BM.
During/After: The dresses were lovely!


Tuxes: Folchis - B (before) and C (during/after)
Before the wedding: Good service, but poor selection
During and After: Tuxes didn't fit great and they had the wrong shoes for some, but they looked great!


Wedding Dress: Eden Bridals - A+
http://www.edenbridals.com/
Before the wedding: I love my dress. I couldn't be happier!


Chairs for Ceremony: Prime Time Party Rental - A
http://www.primetimepartyrental.com/
Before the wedding: Good communication
During: Showed up on time and the right chairs

    I am so sorry to hear about your reception! I hope that you call and make a formal complaint with the venue.

    Other than that it sounds like you had a great day! Congrats Mrs.

    Makes me feel better because I'm using Jerry's Cheesecakes as well.  I've definitely noted that they aren't great about formal communication, but they are so flipping nice and accomodating of what I want I don' mind.  We just got all of our samples today and had a little tasting!  Did you have any feeling on the flavors at all?

    Congraulations on getting married!  I am considering using Jerry's Cheesecakes.  What I find odd is that they hand out promotional information at the bridal shows that says $3.10 per slice and then when I went in for a meeting with them they said their prices went up to $3.40.  I loved their cheesecakes, but it almost bothers me too much about this pricing issue.  Did you have this same problem?
