Married 8/8/09 Vendor Review

DJ CREW - A - We had Dan and Jason.  They were amazing.  The dance floor was full all night.  We extended the reception 1 hour and there were at least 30 people on the dance floor at 11 when we ended.Alfred Angelo A - My dress was amazing.  I got tons of compliments and they were very helpful.Perfect Bride Rocky River (Alterations) -  A- - My alterations were awesome, and I love the way my dress was bustled.  However, they do not go out of their way to be nice.  Especially when your dress is not purchased from them.All Occasions Limo - B- - Our first driver was awesome he deserves and A+.  However, we had someone come back from 10:30 - 11:30 to shuttle guests to hotel.  The hotel was a 5 minute drive.  He could have made at least 2 trips with ease.  On the start of the 2nd trip at 11:00, He refused to come back to the hall for me to even tip him. He should have been at our service for the entire  hour.Marie's  Florist and Gift Shoppe Euclid, OH- A++ - Our bouquets and center pieces were amazing, and her pricing was fantastic.  She even came to the salon to drop off the flower girls hair pieces and presented me with a "last minute" gift which included mints, bobby pins, etc. along with a small bottle of CHAMPAGNE!! I highly recommend.  PLease contact me if you need any more information.Massimo Da Milano - A - Our guests loved everything about it.  First wedding that I have been to in a while that actually served shots.  The food was fantastic and all potential crisis were quickly averted by the staff.  Highly recommend.InFocus Video and Photography - A - We used them for both photography and videography.  So far they have been amazing to work with and were willing to do anything we wanted (even take pictures on the beach in the rain because I had my heart set on it.)  They have posted a wedding preview and so far the pictures are fantastic.  They were with us all day and you get the rights to your pictures which is awesome.  I will post a link to the pictures later.Bagpipes - A - They actually gave me chills.  They were played by two of my cousins.  Please ask if you want their contact information.Weather - D - IT RAINED ALL DAY!!! Stopped just as the reception started.  Oh well, we got some cute pics in the rain.Cake was done my Massimos and a family friend.All on in all...our day was fantastic.  We had a really fun time and so did all of our guests.  I will post a link for pictures when they are available.  Please ask me about any of these vendors as I know we did not use the "typical" ones mentioned on  here.

    How did you incorporate your bagpipers into your ceremony?  We have a bagpiper hired as well and we're currently trying to figure out what he should play and when.  Any advice would be great.  As of now we're thinking of having them play after the prelude but before the processional.  We would lay the aisle runner during his playing.  And we want him to play at the end of the ceremony as well.

    We actually only used them at the end of the ceremony.  As soon as the priest introduced as Mr. and Mrs....they started playing.  They walked up from the back of the church and when they reached us we all processed out together.  They played Mairie's Wedding, and then played some more "happy" songs while guests gathered on the front steps of the church.

    I believe the thing is "the worse the storm on the wedding day the longer it will last"? LOL Either way I'm glad your day went well. Secondly, would you be able to send me the contact information of your bagpipers? My email is HLYWDIANA@yahoo.com Thanks!

    I am glad you had a wonderful day! Rain does mean good luck! We are also having our wedding reception at Massimos next fall 10-2-10. Do you have any input or suggestions? I have heard so many wonderful things about Massimos so please feel free- good or bad! Kinda curious on what you used as your centerpieces and did you use their chair covers? Also I would love information on your florist. We will be looking for florists soon.Congratulations and feel free to post here or email at katy.siftar at gmail dot com. Thanks!

    Here is the florist information.  She does not specialize in wedding flowers.  I wanted flowers that were simple and pretty...not the most important part of my wedding.  She has a lot of neat ideas as well. http://local.yahoo.com/info-34388304-marie-s-florist-gift-shoppe-euclid
