wedding vendor reviews

Church Ceremony: St Anthony of Padua, Parma: A+
Church was beautiful and ceremony was perfect. Church has artificial flowers that they kept on the altar even though we had real flowers and they were a beautiful addition (they were white)

Reception: Carrie Cerino's Grand Ballroom, N.Royalton:   A+
Food was excellent, guests are still raving about it! Carmen (the owner) very easy to work with and always had answers to every little question.  They updated their ballroom (we were first wedding in new ballroom) and its gorgeous. All updated modern colors and brighter.

Flowers: Creations By Lynn: A-
Flowers were absolutely beautiful! Centerpieces were amazing along with everything else. Only bad points were is the guy who was there to help during the ceremony and then transfered flowers from ceremony to reception, was a little on the rude side. Seemed hurried. He also did not secure the aisle runner well enough before ceremony. It came undone!  And, a little gripe, but there was suppose to be illumindated lights in bottoms of our centerpiece arrangements and there wasnt any. Overall, beautiful flowers~

Cake: Carrie Cerino's: A+    Casada Cake. YUM! best wedding cake I've ever had. And it was more cost efficient than going to a outside baker. And they have a italian bakery there, so the pastries that were included in our wedding package were also delicious!!

DJ: Jerry Bruno Productions, DJ Scott Jones: B+
He kept the crowd on the floor and was a good MC....just a little overpriced though.  We were not dissapointed whatsoever, but for the amount of money we paid, I think we were expecting more "fireworks"

Photography: Laurie Bishop Photography (formerly Bishop Photography), Elyria: B-,C+ :
The B-, C+ is not because of her work and creativity, because the photos online came out wonderfully.  We have hot a lot of issues with getting return phone calls, she showed up late (30min) to my parents house day of wedding.  She has to re do our proof album of pics herself because her assistants had poor choice in photos and put a lot of duplicate pics in our book.  Overall, she is a very sweet lady, with great intentions and creativity but lacks some professionalism in the business aspect.  We do love our pictures though and can't wait to get our album, but wish maybe this wasnt as much of a hassle :(

Limo: A-1 Mr Limo: A+
the driver was prompt and courteous.  No issues there.  Limo bus was clean and comfortable. fit  12 comfortably. and we had booked "the Grandeur" and i think it couldve sat up to 16.   I think 12 was perfect 16 people would probably be a tight fit.  The driver who picked us up at the end of the reception in a cadillac was awesome! Without us even knowing he had taken two boxes of our wedding cake for us so we could share it when we got to the hotel for the night! Awesome and so sweet! There was nothing better than sitting in bed eating our wedding cake talking about our beautiful day as husband and wife!

Chair Covers: Party Decor, North Royalton (Alina) : B
Chair covers were nice, not as "pink" as I had wanted but it was her only option of that kind of pink. So, selection choice couldve been better.  She did give us a discounted rate since she works with our venue all the time. I believe $2.95 a chair. 

Tuxes: Mens Wearhouse, Strongsville: C
Tuxes looked nice, BUT: they screwed up on my dad's tux and then said the tuxes they were all originally measured for were now from a different manufacturer so they couldnt get anymore in!!!! So, father of the bride had to wear a different tux than everyone, not to mention having to pay for a upgrade tux charge, because it was a nicer tux.  It looked pretty much the same though.  Bad Customer Service wtih this!  And to charge for their mistake?! grrrr.  They only got a C because everyone did end up looking wonderful.

My Dress: Davids Bridal, Strongsville: B-
My dress was beautiful.  Alteration process seemed never ending though. Had to go 4 times for things that they were suppose to do first time. Seems they rush you in and out, hence, the chain bridal store.  The dress was a good value though and looked fabulous, but if you are looking for any real one on one there, go to a small bridal boutique. Bridesmaids dresses were from here also, in the color watermelon which was beautiful. No problems there.

Wedding Day was better than I could have ever imagined! Have fun planning ladies! Hope your day is your fairytale come true as mine was!
