Hello Ladies! OK so now that I'm back I figured I should write some vendor reviews:
Lake Mary Events Center: A This was the only venue that my husband and I agreed on. Great location and wonderful staff! My only complaint is that you can only have the rehearsal between the hours of 9-3...very inconvienent.
Lori from Arthur's Catering: A+++ LOVE this caterer! When we booked out venue we were concerned that my husband couldn't get 4Rivers because they weren't on the prefered caterer list so we went to Arthur's. Lori sat us down and asked my husband what he really wanted and he responded "4Rivers Brisket". She said it would be no problem and made sure we got the brisket for our wedding! She was fantastic and even helped me make non-food decisions. On the day of our wedding Willie was awesome and we couldn't ba happier!
Peddles Florist: A+ working with Vicki was fantastic and she was well within our budget! She was flexiable and even allowed me to reduce our floral budget 1 month before the wedding due to unforseen circumstances. Would HIGHLY recommend her!
Soundwave Entertainment: A- Liked Wendy and Les on our first meeting even though they were out of our budget. Wendy can be short on over email which kind of threw me off because it came off slightly unfriendly but then I decided they are the best of the best so why not sit back and let them do their job! In the end Les kept people on the dance floor all night long and we were very happy with our choice!
Empress Sissi Bakery: B- The cake was delicious but getting a hold of Karina and the price was a little off putting. The cake averaged $5 per person and in the end I compromised on the design to get the delicious cake. The cake that I was delivered wasn't perfect and seemed like I didn't get my monies worth but then again it tasted fantastic so I'm not sure what is more important. All in all I am on the fence as to whether I would use her again.
