Big checks!

I'm really getting excited, we booked floating chapel for our ceremony, Jill is really nice person, very easy to work with and we loved the atmosphere on the chapel. We've decided to go with extra hour so it did cost a little bit more, but i think it all will worth it.
Booked lido beach resort for a small reception, Mandy is super sweet and very nice, we are feeling extremely comfortable working with her, they have couple gazebos there on the courtyard which would be perfect spot for us to take photos. We will be doing a small reception outside, i hope weather stays nice.
We've met with Marina at in true colors photography and booked her right there at the meeting, she listened to our ideas and gave us bunch of suggestions we didn't even think of. Seems like she genuinely cares about her work and you as a person, her photography is awesome and she is extremely down to earth.

Next step is to get the cake and a florist. If you girls can recommend someone in Sarasota or Bradenton it would make my life so much easier! We've got recommendations from the venue and photographer, but would like to have options as well.
I really put myself together and made a point of getting things done, it's hard, but also feels good when everything is going the right way!
 Doing a happy dance! SmileSmile

    Could you let us know who the venue recommended and the brides on here could give you feedback on them and/or suggest others?

    I've heard Flowers by Fudgie is very good.  I like Irene at For Better for Less. 

    For cakes, you might want to check Chocolate Pi.  I haven't heard of the others.

    thank you so much. I will have to google chocolate pi and irene, thank you again.
    Rhea, how was your trip to the florist? Would love to hear your opinion.

    So My trip to the florist was very interesting. Flowers by Fudgie I spoke to Becki and she was great full of ideas and options. At Beneva Flowers I spoke to Laura and she was quiet gave me a couple options but not many. In the end Beneva Flowers was actually less expensive. I know they both do a good job and has some great recommendations. So I do not know who I am going with yet.

    We used Slice of Heaven for our 6/21 wedding.  The cake was beautiful and delicious!

    We used Sarasota Florist for flowers.  We only ordered bouquets and bouts from them, but they were gorgeous flowers.
