Vendor Reviews!- Long!

So we are FINALLY married!  We were engaged forever it seems but all the planning was worth it because it was a perfect day.  Here are the reviews I can think of right now:
Ceremony: A.  St. Rita (Lowerline St)- not easy to get in touch with but I didn't have any problems.  They didn't have a coordinator so I was on my own.

Reception: A+ Pavilion of the Two Sisters- City Park- everything was perfect and they took care of every detail I asked for.  The coordinator Cathy and the staff were very easy to get in touch with and the room and food is amazing.

Invites: A. Weddingpaperdivas- I loved the designs and the price was great

Save the dates: A. Scriptura on Magazine.  Easy to work with. Everyone loved the design

Favors: A. Hubigs Pies. Easy to get in touch with.  They were inexpensive, delivered them straight to the reception for us and everyone loved them

Photographer: A+ Studio Tran.  I can't WAIT to get my pics back.  Beebe did my portraits and I'm in awe.  Very easy to work with and easy to get in touch with.

Videographer: A+ Chad Dyle Productions. I haven't seen the video yet, but they were very attentive and very friendly.  Chad was always easy to get in touch with and I thought their pricing was reasonable.

Flowers: A+ Bee's Flower Shop.  I can't say enough good things about Bee's.  Eric was very easy to get in touch with and the flowers were BEAUTIFUL!  Since I didn't have a coordinator at the ceremony, They stepped in and cued the music and sent the BM's down the aisle and fluffed my train, etc.  Definitely above and beyond service.

DJ: A-. Omega Sound.  David was always easy to get in touch with.  I had used their database to choose my list.  There were a few snaffus along the way with them playing some not on list songs, but it was all quickly worked out and they had the dance floor full all night- which is all I wanted!

Cakes: A. Haydels. We got both cakes from Haydels.  We brought in pictures of what we wanted and they came out exactly like the pictures.  Very tasty too!

Limos: A+. Celebrity Limo- arrived early.  we had 2 buses and a ultra stretch.  All clean and they got us to wear we needed to be.  They gave us a free sedan ride back from the reception to our hotel which was nice.

Dress: A. Pearls Place- I got my dress and BM's dresses there.  Prices on both were great.  My dress and veil came in weeks early than they said.  Altherations went great except that I had to take half days off work to go in for fittings.  But other than that- I had a positive experience with them

Tuxes: A. Mens Warehouse- The price was really cheap since I signed up for something at a bridal show to get $40 each tux.  All the guys looked great

Hair/Makeup: A. Get Polished- They were exactly on time.  The hair girl did our hair qucikly and then left.  The makeup girl finished all of us early but knew I wanted to wait for the photog so that he could get pictures, so she stayed at my house for another hour waiting with us.

NOPD Police Escorts- A+: All of the oot's on our buses went WILD whenever the cops would pull people over not stopping for us.  They were on time and worth the money.

Ceremony Musicians A+: Fine Arts Ensemble- easy to get in touch with and they learned some special songs for us and they sounded beautiful

Room Block A+: Intercontinental hotel.  They upgraded us to a large suite and gave FI's parents access to the club lounge.  The staff was great.

    I'm so glad everything went so well! It sounds like an awesome wedding! I'm excited to see that you had positive experiences with some of my vendors, as well! I'm using Omega Sound, Chad Dyle, Haydel's, and Fine Arts Ensemble!

    I'm getting married at St. Rita's next Saturday, how were they with the rehearsal? Was anyone there to help or did they just have the door unlocked for you? Glad your wedding went so well. Thanks in advance.

    I'm so glad your day was fabulous! Mine was too! We just got in from our honeymoon, but I had to check the boards.

    I saw your pies in the office at City Park when I went to drop all of mine off. I only knew they were your's because you had the custom monogram and I recognized the initials from your knot.com handle. I got so excited, though. They thought I was crazy!

    Our day was pretty close to perfect and I'm so thrilled to hear that your's was too!!
