Eric did do a good job of keeping the evening on track. We were disappointed that the extensive, well thought out playlist we submitted for the evening, based on the likes of our guests, wasn't used much at all.
Ambassador Limo's service and chauffers were top notch and very professional! We used the 1965 Silver Cloud III White Rolls Royce for the bride and groom from the church to the reception and then later to the hotel, and used the White Stretch Escalade Limousine for the rest of the wedding party from the resort to the church and the church to the reception. They were where they were supposed to be at the arranged time and did everything possible to insure our comfort.
The ladies at A Better Cheesecake were so patient with us... considering we made a few changes along the way. The final cake was beyond beautiful, moist and delicious. In keeping with our Fall theme, the bottom tier was pumpkin and plain cheesecake, the top and one other tier were red velvet, and the other tier was raspberry swirl with raspberry mousse filling. At the last minute we added a Groom's cake... TOTALLY unnecessary, at least in our case. Except for cutting the first taste, the entire cake was brought home! We would definitely use A Better Cheesecake for other occasions.
MMD Events was awesome! Amanda and Matt are the best. Not only did they do all of our florals, wedding and reception decor, they also provided the lighting and lounge furniture in the bar area of the ballroom. The worked miracles within our budget and were so open to working with the vision we already had. The final design looked much more like a high end event without looking like we had compromised to stay within our budget. They are truly gifted professionals.
Hands down, Shutterbooth was the most BRILLIANT, FUN, BEST addition to our wedding reception. There was a line the entire night, not due to them being slow, but because all of our guests kept going back over and over again. We now have some great blackmail pics to use in the future... just kidding! If there's any way you can work this into your budget, it is the number one thing to splurge on! The scrapbook created that night, with all the well wishes, will be viewed over and over again through the years.
