Fantastic! They have so many rewards programs and offers that it seems like the free money never stops. I recieved $25 for referring a friend, a $100 gift card for registering for a set amount of a certain brand, plus you get 25% off of everything on your registry after the wedding. I definately recommend BB&B compared to Macys, which was a total waste of our time. No rewards programs to speak of, plus they are over priced. Many of the items they offer can be found at BB&B.

Fabulous cakes! She sat down with me and sketched out a creation of my own! Also, she has several albums full of pictures that show examples of her work, so the creation part is easy! She even took swatches of fabric from my bridesmaids dresses to incorporate the colors into my cake. WOW! ..The best part is, her prices are more than reasonable and she doesnt charge extra for for fillings!!

We had no choice but to use this catering company because they owned the building we rented for the reception. The food was good but it was SOOOOO pricey! We literally spent thousands and we only had 140 people at the wedding. It was buffet style, heavy hors d'oeuvres. The owner hit me up the week before the wedding with the final payment, several hundred dollards higher than I expected. Overall, he was not up front about the cost and I would go out of my way not to use this vendor again.

We took 5 dance lessons with Jimmy at A&E dance studio and I would absolutely recommend it! Jimmy is a fantastic instructor, he did a great job putting my husband and I at ease. He helped to choreograph a personalized dance routine that went beautifully with the song we chose. Not only did we feel more confident on our big day, Jimmy suprised us and showed up at the reception to see us dance! I was very impressed with this vendor.

Totally psyched with my pictures! You absolutely get what you pay for here! I decided early on to save in other areas and splurge on my photographer. I am very happy with the choice I made. David is fabulous to work with and will make sure to get any special shots that you had in mind. He has a variety of packages to chose from at different price points. Very happy with my pictures and I recommend him to everyone!

I brought all my bridesmaids to this salon the morning of and had updos done. I was so thrilled with my hair. I received more compliments on my hair than I did my dress! I felt like an Athenan Goddess! Kayla Weatherford is the updo queen at Tangles, I believe when it comes to hair she can do anything. All of my girls were happy with their hair and it held all night. Also, we were allowed to bring muffins and champagne and set up a breakfast area just for my group. What a fun morning!

This salon is where its at! I was able to make an appointment for the day of my wedding and have all my bridesmaids meet for some pampering. The prices were reasonable (about $45 for an updo, around $65 for the bride). They allowed us to have brunch and provided a table to set up our snacks. They even helped me scrounge up a bucket for the champagne at the last minute because I forgot mine, and they provided ice out of their own freezer. I was thrilled with my hair which was done by Kayla. She is the updo Queen! After we were all beautified Kayla was sweet enough to offer to take pictures of all my girls posing with me. It was a really fun morning with no stress, and everyone loved their hair!

Food was delicious! Wait staff was wonderful. On the other hand, owner/manager Robert Williams is hard to get into contact with. He doesnt answer his phone or return e-mails in a timely manner....pretty stressful when your getting down to the wire and trying to finalize details and payments. Worst, after paying him literally thousands, my final payment was MUCH higher than I expected it to be. Instead of being up front about costs, he initially gave me a low ball number ($27 per person), which I began to put down payments on. He then waited until 7 days before my wedding to hit me with taxes, gratuities and linens for the tables during the last week of my wedding. The total actually came to $46.50 per person. Ouch. I would have preferred that he be more up front and let me know that the original quote did not include taxes/gratuities/etc..., but I guess it would be pretty hard to get any business that way.

Ms. Debbie is wonderful to work with! I had no idea what I wanted in a wedding cake and she helped me create one that was unique to my wedding! She asked for color samples from the dresses and started a file for me. She had a variety of cake, icing and filling samples available for me when I got to the consultation. She drew sketches of different cake types and even gave me tips on how I could save money!! She gave me copies of all the notes she took and encouraged me to call her if there was any details I wanted to add or change. I felt very confident when I left her shop. Her prices beat quotes that I got from bigger grocery stores like Publix, and my cake was absolutely delicious! She delivered it to my reception site and used a beautiful silver stand to display it on, which she does NOT charge extra for! Everyone else does. I saw guests taking slices home at the end of the night!! Best of all, as a gift to her brides and grooms, Debbie makes an additional top tier for you to freeze and eat on your anniversary!! So the cake you pay for can be sliced up and served to guests without fussing with getting a chunk of cake home after your wedding. She even wraps the extra tier for you and allows you to pick it up after your honeymoon, Now THATS customer service.

VERY Happy with my experience with David. Its only been one month since the wedding and I've got all my pictures back 2 weeks ago. His packages offer alot of variety, and theres something for everyones budget. I received SO many compliments at my reception from guests who saw how hard David was working. He even brought me something to drink at my reception to keep me hydrated, that blew me away. He captured shots of me that I dont even remember him taking. *Bonus, he has the ability to edit out imperfections and make your shots really gorgeous. He is very personable too, I feel like we are friends. I am just as happy with my wedding photos as friends who went with much more expensive photographers, and I ended up with SO much more.
