Vendor Reviews

• Venue: Superstition Springs Golf Club  I would highly recommend this venue.  The price (around $6000 for 85 guests) was definitely reasonable.  It included the cake, chair covers for the reception, hordevours for the cocktail hour, a buffet with our choice of 2 entrees, the champagne toast, and a day of coordinator.  The venue is beautiful, the food was amazing, and the service was even better.  The sales manager, Danielle, was always very sweet and super quick to respond to my e-mails or phone calls.  And our day of coordinator, Germaine, took care of everything for us- she was amazing!  She was there for the rehearsal and on the wedding day she was always right there when we needed her (she even brought us lunch!).  I have to say one of my other favorite things about this venue is that they don't nickel and dime you for anything.  I kept asking if there was an extra fee for this or that (such as serving the cake, etc) and every time the answer was the same "There isn't an extra fee for anything." 
• Photographer:  Visionyard (Nate Smith)   Nate is amazing!  My husband is an amatuer photographer so we were VERY picky when choosing a photographer.  We got a free engagement session with our package and the pictures turned out beautifully.  Nate just has a way of making you feel at ease.  He is such a nice guy and very good at what he does.  He has a photojournalist approach to photography.  Our package included 2 photographers for 6 hours on our wedding day.  Nate had warned us that with the limited time we gave ourselves between the ceremony and reception that it might be tricky to get all of the family pictures we wanted.  Thanks to Nate's organization and professionalism, though, we got all the pictures we wanted and didn't feel rushed at all.  We got a sneek peak of the pictures when Nate set up a computer at our reception that played a slideshow of the pictures that were taken earlier that day and the pictures looked amazing.  I can't wait to see them all!
• Hair/Makeup:  Molly Rose  I love Molly!  She did both my hair and makeup (pics coming soon) and both were perfect.  She did both on site at the venue and she was right on time.  I brought a picture of how I wanted my hair done and she re-created it perfectly.  I also had her do airbrush makeup which turned out great and lasted all day.   She is such a nice person and I would highly recommend her!

  DJ: SKM Entertainment (Tony Streiter)  Tony did such a great job!  With SKM you get both a DJ and an MC which was really nice.  Tony was very professional and a lot of fun.  He got everyone involved and checked with us frequently throughout the reception.  He kept everything on schedule throughout the night and all of my guests told me how much fun they had.  I would highly recommend Tony and SKM!
  
  Officiant:  Pastor Mark Faul  Mark did a great job.  We met with him twice before the wedding and both times he was very professional but also very warm.  He allowed us to completely personalize our wedding the way we wanted it.  I got many compliments from our guests on the way he conducted the ceremony.
