Hi ladies!! Here are my vendor reviews from my perfect 10.20.12 wedding! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want more info

Ceremony Site: Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Detroit. A+, $1250. This was an amazing beautiful venue. Our pictures that we've seen so far are wonderful. This place is worth it.
Reception
Reception Site: MacRay Harbor: A-, approximately $62-63/plate to include plated dinner, hors douerves, premium bar, and late night pizza. A- because the communication was lacking at times. Overall everything was executed perfectly and we had a great reception.
Chair Covers/Linens: Sposa Seating: A+, $1.75/chair cover, which included set up and tear down. No problems at all!
Bakery: Cake Pazazz, A+, $665 for 220 servings. The cake tasting was great, the cake looked exactly how I was hoping. Delicious!!
DJ: Tim with Mike Staff Productions, A+++, just under $1000, Tim is AMAZING. We booked him because our friends used him in 2010 and we remember loving the music. He was so on top of everything, I trusted him completely. The night was flawless and be honored our must play/do not play lists 100%

Favors: Shutterbooth, B+, $845, the night of the wedding was fine, the problems I've had have been following the event. Turns out the host we selected is not the host who showed up, and there are also photostrips that did not end up in our scrapbook or online. Seems to be a disconnect in their process...
Other
Limo: A+, Lavdas, $693 ( including tip) for 4.5 hours, the driver showed up 15 minutes early, and got us everywhere we needed to be, on time. Couldn't ask for anything more!
Florist: A++, April Irelynn Designs, $1916 for 10 high arrangements, 11 low, 7 BM bouquets, bridal bouquet, 9 boutonnieres, 4 corsages, cake flowers, toss bouquet, head table arrange,net, misc petals. April did a sample arrangement for me months ago, to assure I liked what she planned to do. Ever since that time I was completely in love. She was on time with the bouquets at the church, and had everything set up perfectly at the reception. You get a lot for your money, highly recommended!!
Photography
Photographer: A++, Emily Dowd Photography, $2700 for 9 hours, Emily did everything in her power to assure I got the pictures I wanted on my wedding day. All I wanted with a fall wedding was pictures with the trees. She was concerned it was getting too dark outside but pushed through for me and we haves ended up with some of the most gorgeous pictures!!!!
Videographer: A+, Mike Staff Productions, approx $2000, Tim did a great job, we're still waiting to see our video though so I can't comment on that...yet!
Photobooth: A-, Shutterbooth, $920 for 4 hours, I was happy with everything, except we're missing one pictures in our online gallery and in our scrapbook. I sent an email to the event team, and the owner ended up giving me a call to try resolving the issue. I would still recommend the company!
Beauty / Attire
Rings: A+++, Chantelle Jewelers in Madison Heights, we were referred to Randy by my husband's best friend, whose family has always used this jeweler. They truly care about e customer and the quality and value can't be beat. We are so happy with our rings!
Wedding dress: C, Arena Bridal, $1300, I ended up here because they happened to have the dress I wanted for the best price, with alterations included. I feel that the quality of customer service here is lacking, and I often felt we were thrown into a room and left to fend for ourselves until going to search for someone to help us. There are a couple young ladies working here who are wonderful, if you end up with them, you WILL have a great experience! I was just unimpressed overall.
Tuxes: B-, Men's Wearhouse, $160, I don't understand how tuxes get sent to wrong locations, and sizes are consistently wrong. Almost all of our guys had some sort of issue with their tux. I guess Men's Wearhouse is probably one of the best options out there, but there was a lack of attention to detail.
Bridesmaid Dresses: A+, Demetrios in Troy, $190, I.LOVE.THIS.PLACE! The ladies who work here are wonderful, this is a true bridal salon. We got a great deal on the girls dresses, they were wonderful to work with.
Hair/makeup: A+++, Amy Wright, blackthesalon in Royal Oak, she only did my hair and makeup, not the bridal party. She 100% made me look how I wanted, I was so happy, got so many compliments, and the pictures look amazing. Highly recommended!
Paper
Save the Dates/invites/programs: MOH is a graphic designer and did these!
Place cards/table numbers: A+++, Color Bar Creative, Suzie does the best work!!! I got place cards to designate different entrees, and she was able to perfectly match the font my MOH used on our invitations. The quality is excellent, and at 0.85 each, I felt I was getting a great deal
