Need vendor recommendations

Gabby0819 · March 2011

Hello I am recently engaged, Have been looking at venues and have it narrowed down to about 3. I need recommendations for reasonably priced photographers and DJ's and possibly flower people. Thanks in advance

Congrats! I'm getting married in November, and have found these boards very helpful in all my planning

I would look into Now Fly Away for your photographer and Allieflower for your flowers. I have posted their websites below.

Vanessa with Now Fly Away is really reasonable and her work is really awesome. I haven't taken any pictures with her yet, but so far she has been really easy to work with and accomodating for whatever we were looking for.

Allie with Allieflower is REALLY nice. Again - I haven't had any flowers done yet, but she was the only florist I met with that was excited with what I had to say and didn't try to change my vision to what SHE wanted it. She took what I had to say and made it work in the budget I gave her. I am really excited to what she will come up with for my big day

I hope that helps at least a little bit.

Happy planning!

Most of our recommendations of who we are using can be found in our introductions post at the top of the forum. There are some names you will see over and over.. and some you may have never heard of, but there are about 50 different brides on there.

Welcome to the Austin board!

I'd suggest you check into Blackerby Photography. They are wonderful people and their work is really good for the prices they charge. I hate having my picture taken and after getting our engagements back from them, I'm really excited to see how the wedding photos will turn out from this weekend! Some of our pics are on their blog under Brandie & Jason. http://www.blackerbyphotography.blogspot.com/

As for flowers, we ended up going with Donna from Central Market on N. Lamar. I am on a tight budget and had originally considered going DIY, but once we met with her and saw what she could do for us for basically the same price, we knew we found the right florist. She doesn't do email, but is very helpful in picking things out and keeping us under budget.

As far as a DJ goes, we are using Airwave Dave. He had a huge personality and was just what we were looking for. Some of our family is on the reserved side, so we wanted someone who could help us draw them out of their seats and onto the dance floor. His pricing is a little bit more than we wanted to pay, but he is also providing the music at the ceremony with wireless lapel mics, playing a grand piano at cocktail hour, and then DJing the reception. I can't wait! http://www.airwavedave.com/

Look into Wild Poppy for flowers. She was deffinately the most competitive that I found and she was really great to meet with.

We aren't getting married until September but the vendors that I have chosen I love!!!!! We are getting married at Hummingbird House and the owner Danny is amazing! If I could I would put him and my florist Cheri from The Gala Gal in my little pockets and carry them around all day

We originally considered central market south for flowers however they came in about $800 more than what we wanted to spsend. Cheri came in right on budget and she is just great. As for our photographer we're using Amanda from Whitney Lee Photography. We just got our engagement photos back last week and I can't stop looking at them!

We used Donna Foster with Central Market Flowers (main location at 38th & Lamar).

Her flowers were gorgeous and high quality. Her prices were incredible !! I ended up saving $600 - 900 compared to the prices I had received from other local florists.

We used Lisa Shephard with Aimage Photography. Her photos were beautiful, but she was mid-range pricewise.

I hear great things about Greenbelt DJ.

I was married in May and my full wedding vendor reviews can be found here: http://kelseywedding.weebly.com/vendor-reviews.html

I highly recommend Chelsey Schrader Photography, www.cschraderphoto.com, Byrne Rock for DJ and Rebekkah with the Glass Fountain for flowers. If you go to page three and scroll down you can find my vendor reviews. And reviews on my photographer can be found if you scroll down on this first page.

All great to work, all reasonably priced and all did an amazing job!

I'm getting married next May but am happy to share with you who we are using for our wedding. We are getting married at The Winfield Inn. A personal friend is our photographer so I can't make a recommendation there but, our DJ is Joel @ Greenbelt DJ and he is amazing. Very professional, has a sound system set up at his house so you can hear his sound, and his price was better than anyone else I looked into because he includes a lot of things that others charge extra for. We are using The Last Petal for our flowers...Melanie is awesome. She has an eye for flowers unlike what I have seen when I was searching for a florist...and she was under our budget, which really surprised me. Hope these suggestions help and Congrats on your engagement.
