Harmony Tapia - A+
I used Harmony for my hair and she did a great
job. She asked me to send her some pictures of what I was looking for
before the appointment and it turned out perfectly. I ended up with a
low updo and I got a lot of compliments. It also stayed really well and
was comfortable all day. She came to the hotel room which I would highly
recommend instead of going to a salon. It was so convenient.
Cakes on the Move - A+
I
was really excited about the cake and Darlene was easy to work with.
She even offers free delivery and the pricing was very reasonable
compared to some other places I contacted. I wanted a 3 tier, but we
didn't need a cake that large so she offered to make each tier 2 layers
of cake with filling instead of 3 layers. It looked exactly like the
picture I sent her and also tasted really good. We got a different
flavor for each layer and she even made the top tier with one of her
"premium" fillings without charging us extra.
Chayo - A
We
made a reservation at Chayo restaurant for a meet and greet dinner the
night before the wedding. They were one of the few places that would
take a large reservation without a set menu or requiring a food/beverage
minimum. About 15 people came and we were seated at a large table in
our own private space. The food was good and we ended up with a lot of
margaritas, because the server accidentally spilled one on my dad's
back. He felt terrible and kept bringing free margaritas for everyone so
it was all good. The only downside was that they were only willing to
split the table into 4 separate checks. We didn't know that ahead of
time. Luckily everyone in our group was pretty easy going and we worked
it out.
Earth Limos and Buses - B
We reserved a shuttle to
take people from the ceremony to the reception. They were on time, but
it seems like the driver was confused about where to go. I was busy
taking pictures, but one of the guests on the bus called my friend who
was still with me asking where they were supposed to go, because the
driver didn't know. I guess they figured it out, but I called at least
twice leading up to the wedding to confirm the details and I imagine
they drive to Mandalay Bay frequently.
I also tried reserving a
limo with them, but they didn't have any available so I chose an
Executive SUV instead. I called the next day to cancel, because I
decided to find a limo with another company, but they couldn't find the
reservation anywhere even with my confirmation number. I guess it was
fine since I didn't want it anymore, but would have really been a
problem if we were expecting it to show up the day of the wedding.
Presidential Limo - A
Earth
Limos didn't have any actual limos available to take my husband and I
to Mandalay Bay after we finished pictures so we got one from
Presidential. They were on time and easy to find when they picked us
up.
I'll have one more review coming for our photographer. We
used Bently and Wilson and I won't have the pictures back for a couple
of weeks.
