April 16th Wedding Review

Hi ladies,

We just got married and had a fantastic day.  Sorry this took so long we were in Hawaii forever which was amazing.  This reviews really helped me when I was planning so I hope they help you.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
The Diamond Cellar- A+ (for engagment ring)
My husband did this all on his own and had a great exprince with them.  My ring turned out beautiful.

The Diamond Cellar- FFFFFFFFF  (for Wedding Bands)
We ordered our bands in Jan for our April wedding.  We went in end of march to see why we still had no wedding bands and ended up having to speak with the president of the place who ensured that the bands would be the Monday before the wedding.  They called the Tuesday before the wedding to tell us that my band was done for now (it wasnt done the way it was suppose to be done) and that his ring would take another 4 weeks to be done since it was still in another country.  we have been married for almost 4 weeks and I still dont have his ring or my correct ring.  We had to use "Fake" bands at the ceremony and since then.  Out of all the vendors and all the stress that comes with a wedding the diamond cellar was the only vendor that made me cry all week the week before my wedding.  Hate them.  :(

Azar Photography- A+
Andriy is the best.  We had a great engagment session with him and our wedding photos turned out great as well.  I will post pix later for you to check out.  :)

Capital City Sound- A+
Chris was awesome.  He played everything we asked for and even stayed a late.

Photoboxi- A+
I loved this and from the picture that were taking at the wedding people had a blast with this.  We used Dan for this and he worked out all the details for us.  I like this a lot more then a photo booth because instead of a printed picture you get at a photobooth, the photoboxi insteadly emails your pix to you.  This was a big hit.

North Bank Park- B
We used this place just for our ceremony and the only reason I give it a B is because it was expensive.  Even though we only needed the place for 2 hours the min is 6 hours and the hourly rate is $200.  So we paid $1200 for a 20 min ceremony.  Thats a little too much for a city park that we already pay for in taxes.

The Capital Club- A++
I worked with Diana and everything was so easy with her.  She did a great job with everthing and we loved the venue.  The min. for the Capital Club is lower then other places downtown but the prices are just the same so we still spend a crazy amount of money but it was worth it. 

The Flowerman-  A++
Melissa is so great at what she does.  Our flowers turned out to be exactly what i wanted for 40% of the price.  We saved $1000's on the flowers and they could not have looked any better.  I will post pix of the flowers later for you guys to look at later.  :)

Columbus Musicians- A+
They were great.  Sounded amazing and everyone loved them.

Arch Express- A+
We had the guest shuttled from the capital club to north bank and back for the reception and the shuttle worked great.  The guest liked that they only had to drive to one location and not worry about parking at two different locations downtown columbus.

Columbus Boudoir- A+
Heather was fantastic.  My Husband likes the pix so much that he wants me to book another session with her for the summer.  lol. 

Thats it for now.  I Hope I got all the vendors.

    I am working with Diana at the Capital Club for my wedding June 11, and it is so great to hear such a positive review!!  It has been hard to find anyone who knows much about weddings there - Thanks for the positive feedback, it made me feel even more confident in our decision to work with them!!

    We, too, had an awful experience with the Diamond Cellar - Easton.  On of their "managers" pretty much gave us the run around and never called back when he said he would or returned my calls.  I'm so glad we went else where!  Sorry to hear about your bands.  They need to do something special for you guys!

    Thanks for the reviews! We booked our reception site (Bluestone) already but are still checking out outdoor ceremony sites. We are really interested in NBP, but it is sooo expensive!

    Sooooo sorry about your experience at Diamond Cellar :-(

    Seems like the rest of the wedding went well though! Congrats!

    That stinks about your experience with the Diamond Center. My H bought my e-ring there and had a great experience. We would have bought our bands there if we weren't out of state.


    Congrats on your wedding! Seems like other things went really well.

    If you don't mind sharing. What did you spend on flowers going the partial DIY route with Flowerman?   It's fine if you don't want to tell.  :)
    Thanks!

    I dont mind at all... with everything i spend about $1100 on the flowers. I just posted pictures on here too if you wanna look at them.  I had 7 of the tall centerpieces and 8 of the smaller ones and then the bouquets and the everyone elses flowers.
