    No idea on bakery or limo. Jeweler looks like it will be Bernard's in Salem, MA they can make me a band that will fit my engagement ring that isn't going to cost a fortune. I think invitations will be ordered through Vistaprint, not entirely sure what we are doing but FSIL is helping design them.  She goes to art school and is a pretty good artist, so something personal would be really nice I think.

    Our venue provided ours. However, I recently ordered a cake for a party at D'Amicis in Wakefield and it was great. Much much better than KM or any of the other typical wedding cake places.

    Limos: Excelsior in Wakefield. We had two 10 passenger llimos and an antique car. Can't remember what we paid but I know I did compared prices. They were great to work with!!!

    Invitations: http://www.couture-designs.com/ for some reason the site doesn't list invitations but I know she had many books in the store. They are in RI but from what I understand she recently started a Boston area location. Prices were very reasonable.

    Wedding bands Barmakian in Nashua. We compared their prices with our family jeweler where my engagement ring is from and Barmakian beat them.

    Bakery: we originally were going with Cakes for Occasions in Danvers, MA, but switched to Cakeology in the North End of Boston.  We needed to make a price cut, and going with cupcakes over cake proved to be the place to make the cut.

    Limos: we originally planned to go with Black Tie, but now we're not going with limos at all.

    Invites: weddingpaperdivas.com

    Jewelers: my wedding band is from Jareds (got a great deal) and FI's is from John Fleming at the Jewelers Building in Boston.

    Bakery-  Frederick's Pastries. Our cake comes with the package from our venue, so I'm not sure of cost

    Limo company-  Black Tie Limo - $390 for 1 8-passenger limo, either 3 or 4 hours (can't remember)

    Jeweler-  Zales at Pheasant lane mall in Nashua

    Where/Who did you order invitations through: I'm going to order them through David's Bridal. They have the colors that match my colors exactly and at a reasonable price.

    Bakery: Jacques in Suncook, NH. A cake to feed 110 people with white buttercream and fresh hydrangeas between the 3 separated layers, was $480? The layers are Carrot with creamcheese filling and frosting, chocolate with mocha buttercream filling, almond with plain buttercream filling, and a sheet cake out back for the rest.. in vanilla with raspberry filling.

    Limo Company: Undecided between McGinn Bus in Lynn, MA and First Student! ;) McGinn is $600 for like.. 9 hours or some crazysauce? And first student was around $380 I think. both for 50 or so passenger buses.

    Jeweler: Barmakian's in Nashua, NH. This is where he got my ring custom made so the matching band will also be done by them. Great place, great service!

    Invitiations: I'm doing these myself with supplies from Cardsandpockets.com. Total cost around $150.

    I love Leo Caroll.  They are so nice!  My family has gone to them forever...He even helped me out with my ring even though it wasn't bought there.  They made a piece to fit on my ring free of charge so it didn't fall off.
