Vendor Reviews!
Attire: Solutions Bridal A. Alicia is fabulous!
Cake: through my venue, Town Manor. A+ I wish I knew who made it. It was the best cake I have ever eaten in my life. Steve and I decided that it was too good to ruin in the freezer, so we ate 1 piece a day until it was gone!
Catering: Puff and Stuff. A
Dance Lessons: Olivia at the Zebra Room A+. trust me, if she can make Steve and me look graceful in only 4 lessons, she can help anyone!
Flowers: Jonathan's Flowers A. My bouquet was stunning and was my favorite detail of the day. He doesn't get an A+ because the "floating bouquets" he designed looked rough. He had never done them before, though, and I had no pics of what I wanted. The BM bouquets, centerpieces, bouts, and corsages were exactly as I ordered them.
Hair; Melissa Dyer at Stella Luca salon in Winter Park. (By Hot Olives.) A++++++ She was so patient and worked so hard to create the exact hair style I wanted. She also made the MOB and MOG look fabulous!
Honeymoon: Sun Palace, Cancun A+...this couples only resort was fabulous! We went in the middle of the swine flu scare, so the resort was empty and relaxing.
Makeup: Leslie at Studio Cara A+ I had trials with lots of makeup artists and none of the trials photographed well. It's important that your makeup artists understands how to create a look that is fabulous in person and on camera. leslie has trained many of the popular makeup artists in town and some even use her line of makeup that she created. Leslie has done makeup on many movie and tv sets and really knows what she is doing!
Musicians: a string trio from Metro Life Church A
Officiant: Todd Twining from Metro Life Church A+ Everybody commented on how awesome Todd was. Such a sweet guy. He even took care of the ceremony music for us by bringing out a fabulous string trio from his church!
Photography: Tab McCausland A++++ She is fabulous. I couldn't have done it without her. She will help you with every aspect of your wedding if you need help. I'm loving my pro pics that she sent me yesterday!
Stationary: LP Design Studio A She does great custom work!
Videography: Elegante Films TBD. They did a great job on the wedding day and were super friendly. I cannot wait to see the video! Our teaser trailer was fabulous!
Misc:
Room Block: Crowne Plaza A Great service and beautiful rooms. They don't get a + because they screwed up my wedding day wake up call and because our wedding night suite only had 2 functional shower heads out of 6. We were excited for the full body shower haha!
Seamstress: Judi The Seamstress in Winter Park. B. She has a bad attitude and doesn't like to admit it when she messes up. She fixed the problems with my gown and she is VERY good, but I hated her attitude.
BM Dresses: Ann Taylor A
Ceremony and Reception Venue: Town Manor A Everybody loved it, but I hated that we had such a short time frame for the wedding.
Nails: Kim Meadows at Salon Symmetry in Winter Park A
Body Wrap: Body Wrap and Tone in Winter Park A
Cake Topper: D & G in Orlando B+
Boudoir Pics: Tab McCausland A+
Bridesmaids Boudoir Session (Bridesmaids Gift): Tab McCausland A+
Rehearsal Dinner: Stonewood in Lake Mary/Heathrow A+ What a fabulous place. The food was amazing, the service was perfect, and they let us have a private room for an unlimited amount of time. The prices are negotiable and are quite reasonable.
