I had Rob from Sudbury come down to take my picture he has won a tremendous amount of awards, made magazine covers and now teache/traines photographers around the world. Photography was my one thing that was SO IMPORTANT, as this is the one thing you have to remember your special day for the rest of your life. Make sure you ask you photographer for references and see how people are happy with the service and creativity.
We spent two weeks in Jamaica at the RIU Negril, it was absolutely AMAZING! we had lots of excursions to do, beautiful beaches, nice rooms and a romantic setting
Bill McElree from Sudbury was our DJ, he was worth every single penny. He helped me plan the wedding and made the reception very unique and unforgetable.
OUr cake was supposed to be delivered on the Saturday, however it was delivered on Friday Morning, therefore it was decorated thursday. By the time I seen the cake on Friday night it had already started to fall apart. By saturday morning the hotel refused to display my cake as they could not even remove it from the fridge without it falling apart. I provided a very detailed colour picture of what I wanted, I even purchased synthetic flowers and the cake in the picture and what I got were completely the opposite.
I went to the Micheals store in Sudbury and worked with the florist there and picked out the flowers I liked, with her guidance and assistance. I was able to get my bouquet, 4 bridesmaid bouquet, 4 bouteniers, 4 cousages and a throw away bouquet for under $300.00 everyone at my wedding could not get over how beautiful my flowers were. By going synthetic I eliminated the stress of what my flowers would look like the day of my wedding as I picked up my order a month ahead of time and I had a chance to make a few minor changes. I was elated with this service.
WOW is all I can say, they did all my decorations including my centre pieces. I had absolutely no worries and at the end of the night I had nothing to worry about because they came in and took everything down and took care of the centre pieces and all. Highly recommend this decorator. I also purchased all my cake accessories, signing book/pen, decals for the car etc... from there they have great magazine you can look thru and order and pay absolutly no shipping
Dawn at the Bridal Gallery is extremely knowledgeable and is very honest. I had shopped around and at another store they wanted to order me a size ten (so they could get money for alterations) I went and seen Dawn at the Bridal Gallery and she laughed when I told her what size they wanted to order me; she ordered me a size 6 it was perfect! I need absolutely NO alterations and she was cheaper!
We made 3 batches of wine for our wedding (one red, one white, and a raspberry Zinfendal) People till this day still talk about our wine! At the hotel you will pay on average $25.00 a bottle when you make a batch you are look at $5.00 a bottle when you break it down. Your venue may charge a corckage fee of maximum $10.00; which is still less then if you were to pay for their wine. I actually negotiated with my venue to corck all my bottles for free. Remember how much money you are paying them, for them to corck a bottle it cost them $0.00. Never settle for what they say, you have the power to negotiate. My husband and I had a great time bottling it together, we had some good laughs! or do it with your bridesmaids.
