DJ: Windy City Mix, C-
Rodrigo, the owner, is very nice and eager to please. He even set up microphones and a speaker for our ceremony for no extra charge. I was disappointed in the song choices in the beginning and the order of songs, but I blame myself because I didn't give him our must plays/do not plays. We had asked him to play a lot of mo town as it usually pleases all age groups, but he did not do this. But eventually the dance floor was packed and everyone had a great time.
Makeup: Kim Nather (Beauty By Brush), A
Kim is fantastic. She made myself, 3 bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB all beautiful in a time efficient manner. She is reasonably priced, especially for how talented she is. She is sweet and easy to talk to.
Dress: Here Comes the Bride, A+
I love this shop. Don't let the dingy looking strip mall that it's in scare you away. They have a great selection and Rose and Diane are awesome. Diane helped me try on dresses and she was so sweet and patient. She picked out the dress that was the one. She knows exactly what will look best on your body type. My dress came in 3 months and the layers on the bottom were significantly different lengths. When I thought I was about to freak out, Diane looked at my mom and I and told us not to worry. She said she would be sending this dress back today and would get a whole new one. She stayed so calm and kept me from freaking out. The new dress came in 3 weeks. I had an incredibly great experience with this store.
Alterations: Mary Catomy, A+
Mary is just wonderful. She’s an expert seamstress who is easy to deal with and doesn’t overcharge. She made my dress perfect as well as my mom’s. She’s difficult get in with so book early!
