Hi Everyone! I've been on these boards for a while and I am very excited to share my vendor reviews!
We had an UNBELIEVABLE day! Honestly we couldn't have asked for anything better! Things just worked out great - and the very few 'problems' were overcome with ease! Some of my vendors don't get too much press on this board, so that's why I want to talk them up. They worked SO well together! Ceremony, Reception & Guest Hotel Rooms: Westin Great Southern. A+
We fell in love with this place from the start! The ballroom is BEAUTIFUL! We had both the ceremony and the reception in there! The food and service were excellent! Our guests stayed there most of the weekend and we only got positive reviews. The guests rooms are not cookie cutter same - there are variations - so try and request a 'corner room' if you can!
Dress: Alan Ray Bridal A
I was a bit hesitant to use them based on some reviews here…. But I a great experience with them from the very start! They were very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff there really does know their stuff. I would suggest them to anyone. Maybe I am a bit ‘different’ as the dress wasn’t that important to me when I started my planning…. but now I really loved my dress. Despite all of this, I am still considering doing a “Trash The Dress”. Video: Encore DVD Productions A+
I can't wait to see the final product. Aimee (the owner) was just wonderful. So creative and fun to work with. She made a video montage of us growing up that had both of the family members in tears! I know that she got some incredible shots of us doing our first dance together! She shot everything in HD and I am sure it will look GREAT! Did I say that I can’t wait to see the final product??? Entertainment: Buckeye Sounds A+
Probably my favorite vendor to work with! Entertainment was probably our biggest concern because we HAD to have a great party! They were easy to get in touch with and gave us several good ideas even before we booked them. Also a preferred vendor at the Westin – so that made us feel A LOT better. They supplied all the audio for the ceremony where the music just 'happened'. As the Westin was changing the ballroom over, they set up the plasma screens and the DJ. They played the video montage on the plasma screens, and then once the party started they used them to play the music videos and show pictures from our photo booth! Rod was our DJ and he was not cheesy AT ALL and had our dance floor packed the ENTIRE night! If having a great party is a priority for you, go out to see their showroom - that was really helpful to us.
Tuxedo: Classic Tuxedo in Dublin A
No problems at all with any of the tuxes! The guys looked great and the prices were good too! Great location for us too!
Photo Booth: Mirage Photo Booth A+
This was the most unique photo booth that we found and made for a GREAT honeymoon flight. The booth actually takes video in addition to the pictures. Our guests really enjoyed this! There always seemed to be somebody using it. At the end of the night we were given ALL photos and videos on a thumb drive. So on the flight to Cancun, we looked at all the photos and videos on our laptop! They were SO funny…. and they got more wild as the night went on and the booze kicked in our guests. It was so great to laugh at our family & friends acting goofy while on the long flight! Flowers / Decor / Lots of other things: Flourish Bespoke Floral A+
Bart has a gift - its just that simple. So incredibly talented that words just can't describe. He took our ideas and then made them even BEAUTIFUL! He just sees things in a whole different way - and its wonderful. Rehearsal Dinner: Montgomery Inn Dublin A
We both really like this place and its close to our apartment. It was a hit for everyone! He’s about the ribs. I love the pork chops! Honeymoon: Cancun A+
LOVED IT!! Beaches were so beautiful I can’t describe it. Our hotel was on the beach and had a balcony overlooking the water. Believe it or not, we did leave the beach occasionally to do some simple shopping and some sight seeing! I want to go again!!
