We had our wedding reception at Michael's on East and it was absolutely fabulous. Phil Mancini was so much fun to work with and we enjoyed putting our menu together with him. He's creative with food and menus and is open to any ideas you bring to the table. Our biggest priority for the wedding was to have food that would amaze the guests and we definitely did! He works with you to stay under his quoted price per head and doesn't nickle and dime. Not to mention, it's generally accepted that Michael's on East has the best food in town. Working with Phil was wonderful. My only complaint is with Phil's assistant who I had a difficult time communicating with. I had trouble contacting her at times and we had several instances where she made incorrect changes to our menu/proposal. Ultimately, I went straight to Phil and got things taken care of promptly and efficiently because he is fabulous (as I've mentioned many times)!
Flowers by Fudgie did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. The bouquets were absolutely stunning and the centerpieces were gorgeous Manzanita branches with orange lillies and pink raval roses that matched the bouquets. We got married under a Banyan tree and Becki put together an amazing centerpiece/spray that was nestled into the branches of the tree. I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers in our photos!
Barron at Sarasota Trolley Company was fantastic. We used three trolleys for the wedding party and guests and everyone loved it. The trolleys are fun a alternative to buses and have a great old-fashioned look. It's a little pricey, but worth it!
Fun, beautiful cake that was absolutely delicious. Each of the three tiers had a different flavor that we picked at a cake tasting. We described what we had in mind, Ron sketched out our idea and turned it into a beautiful cake!
We got married in a park and Sights and Sounds set us up with wireless mics and a sound tech on site for the entire ceremony. Everything went perfectly!
