The pictures we've seen are really good. I don't know what a typical turn around time is, but it's been over a month and we've only seen...20 or 30 pictures...they're up on her website as a "sneak peak" for the whole world to see. I didn't think about that before we hired her...not sure how I feel about that. She is friendly, a good value (2 photographers, ENTIRE before ceremony, ceremony and reception...$1,000.00), but not super professional. I think the more guidance you give her about what you want, the happier you'll be. You pay a 25% deposit and then the rest on the day of the wedding. Check out her website...she is a wonderfully talented photographer.
She is also on facebook.
Ask for Shelly! She is amazing and super sweet. She went above and beyond what we asked for. I happily use her for all of our future floral needs. I will say that their website doesn't give them justice. Call them and set up an appointment with Shelly!!
I had to do a separate review for the cake. It was a wonderful value, everything we asked for, moist, delicious, and our guests devoured it!
BOO!! We had to call numerous times over the course of 5 months to get our lessons cancelled. We kept being charged, too, until we were finally able to get them to cancel the lessons. We have 7 lessons that we've paid for and we aren't even comfortable stepping foot in that studio because of all the trouble we had cancelling the lessons. If you go there, be prepared for a HARD sell. A VERY HARD sell. If you sign up for lessons and need to cancel them - you will have a hard time. They do want your business, and once they have it, they are like a dog with a bone that doesn't want to let go. If you have the money and time, then they aren't so bad. The instructor was very nice, and they did try to cut us a deal to keep us, but it was still too much for us.
They are in Covington, KY. The shopping experience was wonderful. Everything else sucked. The dress came in a week late, which threw a lot of things off. It only left a week for alterations. The dress was also wrong. They don't have a alterations department on-site, so you have to find another place to alter the dress. When I complained about how I was promised by the store and designer before ordering my dress that it would be in on time, and it wasn't...they told me that designers frequently lie to clients just to get their money. They also didn't seem to care at all that it killed what was already a tight timeline. I really just felt like I was being blown-off over and over again. Also, my consultant sent a little note to me asking me about how else she could help me with my wedding...a week and a half AFTER the wedding. I love my dress, I really regret buying it at Fabulous.
They are in Winchester, KY. I took my dress to them and their seamstress had the alterations done in 3 days! They were able to alter and press my gown for me - all for under $125.00!!! My only complaint is that she forgot to put the bustle in, but considering all the hemming she had to do, and the boning and such that had to be worked around so the bodice would fit properly, AND that she got it done in 3 days without charging a rush fee...I didn't mind. I would recommend them to EVERYONE...even if you don't buy your dress there, have your alterations done there! (I'm not positive, but alterations might be even more discounted or free if you actually purchase your dress there...maybe not, maybe it's the pressing/steaming that's free...) CALL THEM!!
