Our day was perfect!  We had beautiful weather, unbelievable vendors and it was everything a girl could ask for.  If you have any questions feel free to email me: [email protected]

A - we did our ceremony at our church and everything was smooth and perfect.  The church itself is beautiful and everything was set up when and how we asked for it.  It was beautiful!

A – we booked Guy’s after doing a lot of online research and it being the only venue we saw.  They had a great Friday night package that priced into essentially including free alcohol.  We never had a chance to do a tasting but the food was unbelievable.  We got so many compliments.  The only thing I could complain about is the way they packed the candy buffet breaking a few of my containers - not a big deal!

Andrew Jordan A+++ and Tom Forrest +++ - I actually won Genevieve Nisly’s photographer contest and won both Andrew and Tom.  Let me tell you I would have paid thousands for either of them.  They were amazing!!  They were very receptive to the kinds of pictures I wanted and are both incredibly creative.  We had a time crunch between the ceremony and reception but their main focus was getting great pics – and they did.  I got to see a few pics the week after the wedding and the CD with all the pics is amazing - I HIGHLY recommend them! See my pro pics tab for more of their work!

A – TKO was great!  We had Ted for our wedding (along with an assistant) and everything was perfect.  We were worried about people not dancing but the dance floor was NEVER empty.  He did smoke and lights and put on a great show and everyone had a blast.  They gave us a great price because it was an off-season Friday wedding.  They weren’t cheap but absolutely worth the money.

A+++ - Heidi was amazing!  I actually won a contest she was having on her blog for a free wedding band and started to look at her services.  She was very reasonably priced and helped throughout the planning process and kept the day of running smoothly.  She set up the candy buffet (which was beautiful!) and coordinated the rest of the reception décor.  I was worried that she would be calling me all morning to ask questions but she didn’t have to call once, figured it all out and did a great job!  It was totally worth it to have her DOC and brought my stress level down to non-existant.  A girl has enough nerves going on before she gets married she doesn’t need stress to go along with it.  That’s where Heidi came in!

A – I met with the owner 2 times and was worried that my vision wasn’t getting across.  BOY was I wrong.  I gave her a picture of the bouquet I wanted and mine was identical to the photo.  The girls’ bouquets matched mine perfectly and I was absolutely in love with my flowers!  They did a great job and reasonably priced.  The inspiration is on the left and mine is on the right.

A++ - Jacqui is incredibly talented! She was our only tasting and we were impressed with her many many flavors as well as her fondant that tastes like marshmallows.  It was great to have a beautiful fondant cake that tasted amazing.  We did a spice cake with caramel filling and cinnamon frosting and everyone complimented the taste as well as the look (we also did chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting)  Jacqui was very patient with me changing my mind every 2 mins but got my vision perfect.  It was gorgeous and VERY reasonably priced.  Jacqui is amazing!

A++ - Larry was amazing!  We met before the wedding to go over our selections and he didn’t even need sheet music.  He asked me to email him the songs I wanted played and he’d listen to them then play them back by ear.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  He was very professional and extremely talented.  You can contact him [email protected] - just tell him Maureen sent you

A – We used the “All Around Town” coupon (which they never asked for) which gave us 50% off.  We weren’t starting in Cuyahoga County so we had to pay a little fee but it still beat every other company.  They called the week before to confirm our details, showed up on-time, didn’t get us lost, let us bring champagne, beer and appetizers into the Limo and were great! 

A++ - Angela works are the John Roberts in Chagrin Falls - She's been doing my hair since I was 16 and I would never trust anyone else.  She came to the church to do my hair and I loved it.  Check her out in the salon!!  I highly recommend her!

A++ - Ashleigh works out of the Nordstrom at Beechwood and does a lot of other work on the side.  She did an amazing job and my bridal party looked great.  She was very affordable and reasonable and was able to do like 8 girls the morning of the wedding in plenty of time.  I highly recommend her! Just tell her Maureen sent you: [email protected]

A - I was afraid to do my own invites and programs but they were perfect.  I did all of my printing at Office Max in Cuyahoga Falls and got my paper from Anchor Paper (Tom is great).  The programs were last minute and Anchor Paper over-nighted the paper to me the week of the wedding and we got it done.  I highly recommend DIY if you are patient and have the time.  It was really fun.  We also did our own place cards and cut leafs of different colors on a Cricut machine.  So fun!  I also did candle table numbers.  Swarovski crystal wording compliments of Macdidlyicious on the Knot!!

A++ - My uncle gave us a week in his time share for our wedding gift.  Fiesta Americana was beautiful and the service was impeccable.  They were attentive and helpful with booking excursions.  They didn’t push the timeshare idea on us and the food was amazing.  Great place to stay!
