Mike Velmar Video Production, Davidsville, PA

2009-02-19 10:59:16

Mike is a professional who keeps up with modern technology. He's the only videographer that I came across that buys new cameras when they have new technology out, thus having the best videos you can get. OUrs are on two DVD's..one for the ceremony and one for the reception...lots of hours of filming. I also liked the "production" aspect of his videography. Two videographers come to the ceremony and they make the videos to be like a movie production taking the pictures from different angles and they don't miss anything happening.

He edits everything with special effects etc. His editing skills are superb..there's such a nice flow to his movies. His DVD's are high quality. He packages them with a beautiful color cover of pictures from the wedding day. Now to the fun aspect...Mike is a people-person. Great to be around the whole day..happy..energetic and his experience and creativity makes for a great wedding day video!!! We love watching the videos he makes...very clear and the colors are true. He makes sure he captures all aspects of the day and he's also there from early in the morning until the reception is over...you surely get what you pay for and more, more more!!!

MB Bride

2009-02-19 10:59:16

My wedding gown was my dream gown. When I came into MB Bride and saw their huge selection of gowns, I knew I was at the right place. Their prices are very reasonable and they have sales all during the year. They assign a consultant to you who personally helps you choose the perfect gown. Once I chose the gown, she helped me match it up with the veil, shoes, crown, etc. I had chosen a diamond white and they even helped me find that color in the flower girl dresses..they looked so cute! They co-ordinated perfectly with me. The seamstress was also the best I've seen. My gown fit perfectly when she was done! It was comfortable the whole day. I loved the way she bustled it for the reception..she had a special technique the way she did it so that it showed all the beading and details of my train (nothing was hidden after the bustling). I love my wedding gown so much that after the wedding I had it cleaned and preserved because I knew I'd be proud to show it to my children someday.

Red Carpet Limousine

2009-02-19 10:59:16

We wanted to see a variety of transportation options for the wedding party. We needed enough room for at least 20 ople. When we arrived at Red Carpet we were very impressed. Their garage and their fleet were spotless! They had just aquired a few party buses...something new that I'd never seen. It was just what we wanted...it could fit our whole bridal party + others in one vehicle and no bending down to get in. We walked right in and the rich leather seats were set up just like a regular limo...in a circular design with a well equipped bar and big screen TV's. Their driver was very professional & dressed in a handsome suit and he was an excellent driver. The Party Bus was a hit with the wedding party. We all had such a good time getting from the church to the outdoor pictures to the reception. We had some tall guys in the wedding, so this was perfect for them and us.

Cookie Delights

Although they aren't baking cookies for weddings right now, I have to mention these two ladies. They had done cookies in their free time (both had jobs outside the home). Their cookies & nutrolls are so delicious and beautiful to look at. By luck, I found them for Christmas the year before and then they agreed to do our wedding. We were so fortunate to have met them. Everyone said their cookies were great tasting and looked just like wedding cookies should look. Their presentation made them special also...on crystal-like trays with a wide variety of flavors and styles to choose from. We ordered more than enough but there weren't many leftover. I couldn't stop eating them either...mmmmmm gooooood!!

Party Time Express

2009-02-19 10:59:16

I found EVERYTHING I needed at Party Time Express! They were very helpful and took time to talk to me about my ideas and then we'd make them happen! My theme was hearts.I wanted silver heart wine stoppers to give to my guests. They were able to order them for me...the quality of their items is A+ and their prices are very reasonable. I was able to co-ordinate everything perfectly...my unity candles,cake knife and server, guest book, ring pillow, flower girl baskets, misc decorations, shower decorations, rentals, etc. I could keep going and going here. Going to one place saved me time and money! They have the experience of taking care of weddings and all occasions, so no mistakes are made in ordering invitations etc. I had a beautiful wedding day and received many compliments on my choices of everything and the guests actually took the wine stopper favors home!!! They loved them!!

Carol McConnell

Carol's cakes are amazing, beautiful and delicious! Her attention to detail is wonderful. We talked about how I wanted it decorated and she did it perfectly. She'd always get back to me promptly when I had a question or idea to go over with her. She was always pleasant and genuinely happy for me. I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day..when I walked into the reception and saw the cake, I was thrilled!!

Judy Crookston Photography

2009-02-19 10:59:16

Judy went above and beyond the call of duty on my wedding day! She was there from early morning until late night. Her professionalism and her skills are perfect! She has the experience and quickness that are needed to get good pictures when you only have that one chance to get it right!! My pictures are awesome. She captured the whole day without missing anything. She also made it a fun day for us..she's happy when she's taking pictures and that made me relax. She's also very organized and gets everything done in the time alloted. My album tells a story about the day. She has a vast array of albums to choose from...something for everyone's taste. No matter how much I wanted to remember the day, there are things I forgot..Her pictures make it all come alive again. My wedding pictures had to be perfect and they were with her taking them!! She's cutting edge and she keeps up with modern technology in all aspects of her business. She goes the extra mile for her clients...she knows that people are anxious to see their wedding pictures, so she made a CD wedding slideshow, set to music for us when we got back from our honeymoon! And she also included a book (magazine) of all our proofs. All of this made the ordering process go smoothly and quickly. The formal picture of Tom and I is on canvas and is on our living room wall..it's truly a fine piece of art that we'll have for generations to come. She captured our love and happiness of that day. To sum it up...Judy is top notch and if I had it to do over, she'd be the photographer I'd choose. I interviewed many photographers, but her work stood out and I knew she'd be perfect.

Flood City Brass

Very impressive!! We received so many compliments from our guests! Everyone had a wonderful time and fun-filled evening because of their enthusiasm, energy, crowd appeal and professionalism. The music and the vocals were PERFECT!! I actually felt like I was hearing the real artists performing their songs. Having Flood City Brass play at their wedding was the HIGHLIGHT of the bride & groom's special day!! A live band of their caliber made the reception an event to remember!
