Hello Ladies. I recently got married on 03-18 and wanted to pass along my reviews of our vendors in hopes that it would help some of you. Happy planning!
Reception
The Madison: A+ Using the Madison was the best decision we made. The food was unbelievably delicious. Our planning coordinator changed half-way through; however, not a detail was lost. Even when our baker delivered our cake with the wrong color ribbon, they immediately ensured the issue was addressed. Our captains that evening ensured everything we needed/wanted was taken care of. I absolutely recommend them and cannot say enough good things about The Madison and their staff.
Photographer
Adrienne Beth Photography: A+ Adrienne is fantastic and I highly recommend her. Her prices are excellent, she has a great personality, and her photos are even better! I can’t say enough good things.
Hair
Brittany (Bri) with Regis Salon in Florence: A+ Brittany was great, very friendly, and reasonably priced. She did an excellent job on my hair, especially since my hair typically does whatever it wants. She also did my bridesmaids, mom’s, and flower girl’s hair. Everyone looked great!
Cake
Lisa Meier/Sweet Things Bakery: A Lisa’s cakes are delicious and look beautiful. Unfortunately, she is no longer going to bake, so we were lucky that we booked her when we did, as she came highly recommended. There was a snafu with our cake and the ribbon being the completely wrong color; however, she immediately fixed it!
DJ
Shannon Keck: A+ Shannon is awesome. Our dance floor was filled all night long! She had great suggestions during our planning meetings. Definitely recommend her.
Flowers
Affordable Wedding Creations: D+ Most all of my flowers were wrong. My bouquet and the groom’s & fathers’ boutonnieres were the only thing correct. My mother called the florist that day about the flowers being wrong and was told that’s what I ordered and that she was not doing anything about it. Fortunately, Kroger’s floral department was able to revamp the bridesmaids’ bouquets and the groomsmen’s bouts. They turned out beautiful, so A+ to Kroger’s floral department. I will have to say, however, that the only saving grace for Affordable is that she was pleasant during our planning meetings and when I contacted her myself, upon returning from the honeymoon, she has offered to refund part of the cost.
Bridesmaid Dresses
Fabulous Bridal: A+ The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant, even during our initial visit when we showed up without an appointment. The prices were very comparable.
Groomsmen Attire
Mens Warehouse: A Again, staff was extremely helpful and everything was as ordered. The only reason they did not get an A+ is because they did not notify our guys when the tuxes where in like they were supposed to.
