My vendor options

Hi!!My ceremony is at Caesars and my reception is at Maggiano's. I have narrowed down vendors based on their preferred vendors. I have researched a ton of your vendor lists. Just wondering if anyone has pro's/con's of these vendors? Also if anyone has ideas of which one would be more cost effective? Dj: Go All Night Long?Flowers: Annie with Organix Floral OR Pam with The Palette?Cake: Creations Bakery or Freeds( anyone know if Freed's is part of Maggiano's package? Not sure what cake I can even choose with the package I selected? )Hair/makeup: Glamsquad or Lori White?Also my other question: A photographer and photography package is included at Caesars. How many of you had two different photographers...or did your photographer from the ceremony come with you to your reception?Really ladies! I couldn't have done any of this without you. Thanks!Lindsay

    Hi, We are thinking about getting married in A special memory chapel they have a photo package included or 18 photographs for the cermony, I dont think they allow another photographer into the chapel so ya we are hiring another for after. We are looking at Deacon Tyler at the moment he priced me at $350 for 2 hour strip tour extreamly nice to deal with so nice that he offered me an extra hour free!! So thats 3 hours for $350! I think if you brought the photographer from the cermony to the reception it could work out more expensive, not to sure. I cant help you with your other questions sorry!

    Hi!  I will only comment on the vendors that I have personally used...I can't judge the other ones.  :-)All Night Long DJ - Fantastic!  They were so great and actually stayed longer with our guests just because everybody was having such a fun time.  Also - they really helped keep the "show on the road" timeline wise....I was so all over the place during the reception and they would come up to me and say, "Ashley - in your timeline you wanted to do the bouquet toss now - are you ready?"  They're great!Pam from The Palette - She was SO patient with me and so accommodating!  We went back and forth for a while about designs and such and she's was so nice and understanding the entire time.  Her work was beautiful as well!  We used an additional photographer.  We went with Reflective Souls and I couldn't have asked for more.  They just sat as guests during the ceremony (but still got some cool shots) and then we resumed photos after the ceremony.  Randi is so sweet - her packages are great...her website needs some work...but I'll vouch for her work and professionalism any day!  :-)All reviews and pics in wedding bio.  HTH!:-)

    Check out my reviews in my bio.  I used many of your vendors and was very happy with them.  The one that stood out the most was Lori.  I cannot say enough about her!  Pam was great for flowers and they looked amazing.I definitely would suggest using another photographer.  I used three total (probably overboard).  But we used Todd Wilson for the wedding day and did a TTD with Chelsea Nicole.  It worked out great and I got the best of both worlds at a great price.

    I have reviews of several of these in my married bio too. As for photographer, most brides do hire one separate from the one with the package.  The rates tend to be much lower, and they usually include the digital rights which are an added cost with your ceremony photographer (and tend to be VERY expensive).

    I'm using Freed's Bakery and Lori White for hair/make-up. I have a photo package within wedding package at the MGM....but after booking a strip tour I decided to hire an outside photog from 6-midnite...Chelsea Nicole.  Honestly I haven't heard outstanding things about Cashman (they seem to be the stand. photog in hotels) so that made me only stick with what I'm getting and then hire an outisde photog for the rest of the evening.

    We used All Night Long, we had a technical issue, but the DJ was still awesome and played great music! We didn't use a florists, so I can't help you there. We used Creations Bakery and omg the cake was amazing. When we go back for our anniversary in 6 months, I'm ordering us a small cake from there since we didn't get to bring our cake home with us. And I used Lori and she was awesome! LOVED HER!! She takes her time. I've heard Glamsquad rushes and I loved that Lori and her assistant made sure we were happy and beautiful.
