So happy with them. None of our groomsmen lived in the United States and Dan and the rest of the carl anthony staff were so accommodating about finding a time to get everyone measured and fitted quickly. The guys looked great!
We hired this school bus company to bring guests from the hotel where we’d blocked rooms, to the church, then to the reception and back to the hotel/bar for an after-party. I wasn’t on the bus at all until the end of the night, but that was really fun! The after-party was just our younger friends from college and high school and it was so fun to crowd onto the back of a school bus together. The driver was really nice and they were a lot cheaper than a trolley or some of the other transportation options out there.
Nancy was great! The flowers were beautiful, she did exactly what I asked and was nice enough to make flower drop offs at 4 locations. It seems like she was more reasonably priced than a lot of the other florists out there too.
I loved using etsy for wedding related items. And my invitations were beautiful and pretty cheap. Got so many compliments on them. Jessica was very prompt, sent out samples and responded to my changes.
We hired them for our rehearsal dinner. It was so inexpensive, yet so good! Jennifer put together a great casual cookout for about 50 guests with burgers, hot dogs, and some beautiful salads (my favorite was spinach, dried cranberries and pecans). She also provided (free of charge) mason jars for our flowers. They were on time, courteous, and helpful. Also, she let us bring some of our own food, like chips and beer, so that we could keep prices down, which was one of our major objectives. 2 thumbs up!
Man, did she make us pretty! She is an artist. When I first had my trial done, I felt like I was gonna look caked in makeup because it seemed like she was putting on a lot. Then I saw myself in the mirror, and I was transformed, but very natural looking. She does great work, travels to you and gives you some blotting tissues and each bridesmaid a touch-up of lipstick. She also did my mother-in-law and put just a bit of makeup on my flower girl, who looked adorable. I was very happy with Krystal.
Antoinette is one of the warmest people I’ve ever met. Like most of my vendors, I had to hire her without meeting her because I was planning from Australia, and I don’t regret it for a second. Although my husband (still feels funny saying that) and I were raised Catholic, we’re not particularly religious. So we wanted a ceremony that was spiritual, but not too religious. Antoinette spent time talking to us and also asked us to write her a letter about how we felt about each other. She incorporated what we said beautifully into our ceremony. She made our ceremony so personal and beautiful. It was just so “us.” I highly recommend her.
Colleen was so great. She helped out so much on the day. She stopped by in the morning and went shopping for last minutes stuff like extra petals for the flower girl and products for the bathroom baskets. Then she checked us into our hotel and ran stuff back and forth between the boys and the girls getting ready. She went to the reception site early to help the vendors set up, put out table numbers, flowers, cupcakes, candles, etc, coordinated with the caterers and the DJ to keep everything moving along. She even noticed when I looked thirsty and got me a drink! She was such a huge help.
They were so nice, so fun and relaxed. They did a great job. Once again, they were great to work with before the wedding, good about responding to emails and even came to the rehearsal just to check out the church before the wedding. The photos came out so well. Whether it was a detail shot, a formal picture with family, an interesting point of view, or just the bridal party having fun, the photos are all great. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves! This link also has lot of pictures of the venues if you’re interested in any of them. http://www.markturekphotography.com/Weddings/Annie/13538590_Fhiu8#988633383_KgXVQ
Susanne was lovely. She didn’t play one thing on my do not play list, was reasonably priced, and very nice. Everyone was dancing on the deck of the north beach clubhouse and she helped make the wedding a lot of fun. I’d definitely recommend her.
