Hey Everyone!
We got married on October 27th and it was amazing!! Here are some of our vendor reviews, hope this helps out all the planning brides out there.
Venue:
Windstar Gardens - Peoria, AZ -- A++++++
Lois and the staff at Windstarn Gardens were amazing to work with! They made sure everything was set up and flowed smoothly the entire evening. The property is beautiful if your looking for an outdoor setting and the price was amazing as well! I cant tell you how many comments we got about how georgeous the place was. I would highly reccommend to any bride!
Catering: The Wild Bunch-- Cave Creek, AZ -- A++
I realize that having BBQ at your wedding is not the norm but my finace and I really enjoy BBQ so we decided to have it at our wedding. If you are brave enough to eat pulled pork and brisket in your wedding dress I HIGHLY reccommend this company! Our main concern when booking a caterer was that the food was good and that there was plenty of it. I absolutely hate when you go to a wedding and the food tastes like dried cardboard and there is hardly any of it. We didnt want any of our guests to have to stop by jack in the box on the way home because the food was bad. We definately did not have that problem with the WILD BUNCH! The food was fantastic and they cooked some there on site so our guests could smell it before it was served. The owner and his wife are so nice and friendly and our guests really enjoyed the atmopshere at the buffet line and the food as well!
Photography: Raw Canvas Photography- Mesa, AZ A++++++
I actually found this company on craigslist and boy did I hit the JACKPOT! Rhiannon was so much fun to work with! We did most of our pictures before our ceremony, Rhiannon was contantly joking and making us laugh it eased our nerves and made for a really fun time! Not to mention that the preview pictures we got are FANTASTIC! Her prices are amazing for what you getin return. We have most definately found a photographer for life! Here is a link to some of the preview pictures so you can judge for yourselves http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.10150345258747876.343422.110072662875&type=1
Cake: Barbs Bakery- Phoenix, AZ A++
We booked our cake with Barb's with only 3 weeks until our wedding. They were very acccommodating and the cake tasted great! We had he pink champagne with vanilla custard and choclate with chocolate mouse. The cake looked fantastic and all of our guests were raving about how delicious it was!
DJ: MT Sounds -- Phoenix, AZ - A+
Matt was great to work with. At our first meeting we knew right away that he was the DJ for us! He played all of our requests and mixed in his own favorites that kept the party going and people on the dance floor. He was also really great at hosting the overall evening and informing people of what was going on and where they should go.
Bartender: Black Tie Events-- A++++++
We were soooo happy with our bartending service! Our bartender was so friendly and sweet and also very fast. We provided our guests with beer, wine, and margaritas and there was never a line of people waiting to get a drink. They also surprised us and brought champagne for all of our guests (Which was delicious) for a champagne toast that was free of charge. Margaritas were also very tasty. Overall VERY happy with Black Tie Events!
