I loved our invitations. The quality was great and the price was great. Order was very easy and delivery was fast.

Jud is a friend of ours still working on building a reputation for weddings. We were somewhat unsure of what to expect because he doesn’t have tons of experience but we were ecstatic with the results. He spent all day with us and got tons of amazing shots. He has a great eye and loves what he does. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for engagement, wedding, or portrait type photos.

My groom is all about going to stores that are locally owned so he was happy to be able to get away from the “Men’s Wearhouse” type shop and come here. They ordered his tux the day he picked it out so he could try it on and make sure it fit right. He’s a standard 40 Regular so he shouldn’t have had a problem but for whatever reason, the size they sent didn’t fit. The clerk was able to adjust the sizes of everything so that the tux that came in the week of the wedding fit like a glove. They also have on site alterations so they can tack removable stitches into the tux to make it fit right if needed.

We had a great time on our honeymoon. There were a few minor issues but you can't expect everything to be perfect so we just rolled with it. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is all very helpful, although most of them don't speak much English. We did a zipline excursion that was tons of fun but other than that we just relaxed by the pool or at the beach. The food was decent, nothing to write home about but not having to worry about where to eat and how to ge there was nice.

House of Brides - Chicago

My girls picked out the dress they wanted to wear and I saw it was available here. I work in Chicago so coming here wasn’t inconvenient for me and I didn’t like the idea of ordering online. I called and found out they had a sample of the dress and showed up with one of my girls to do a quick try on. They wouldn’t let us in (they have to buzz you into the building). We followed in behind another woman who had an appointment and after some attitude by the front desk girl, my Maid of Honor talked her way into getting a fitting room to try on the dress. 10 minutes later we ordered it. Vanessa, the consultant who worked us in, was very nice and very responsive. My other girls all had to send in their measurements since they’re out of state and Vanessa made sure they looked proportionate.

I wouldn’t go back here again. Vanessa is no longer there and I haven’t found anyone who isn’t a total b!tch. I had to get measured for a dress for one of my bridesmaid’s upcoming wedding and they wouldn’t do it even after I reminded them that I’d spent over $1000 in dresses there for my bridesmaids.

We had manicures and pedicures the day before the wedding and hair done at the salon the day of. The girls all seemed very pleased and I was thrilled. I had a trial done so I knew things would go smoothly but it was great. Ashley is amazing and everyone is super nice.

We had our rehearsal dinner in one of their private rooms. The food was good and service was decent. They didn’t move the individual tables in to two long banquet style table liked I asked but a few of my guy friends made quick work of that. There isn’t a charge for the room just a food/drink minimum that we met easily so I think it was a good deal based on what we got.

Flowers were one of the things I thought I didn’t have to stress about. I met with Bonnie, the floral contact, numerous times to make sure we both had exact the same thing in mind. For the most part, I was very happy with things however there were a few details I would change if I could go back. All of the bouquets had ribbon wrapped around the stems as I requested. Maybe I wasn’t specific enough but I wish the stems had been wrapped further down. As it was, only about 2 inches of the 10 inch stems was wrapped. Secondly, the roses in the centerpieces should’ve been blown open. In the end though I was happy with the result and definitely happy I didn’t have to deal with doing them myself.

Were able to return the things we wanted without any hassle. The only annoying thing is that there's no alert that tells you to pick something else if the item on your registry is being discontinued. If it isn't available online, chances are it's not available anywhere so switch it out.
