This used to be one of our favorite restaurants, but we will never go there again. Though the food was good and the bartender was exceptional (the only reason we didn't give this a one star), the manager was incredibly rude. Also, there were flies EVERYWHERE. It got to the point where each table made a game of how many they could kill - not the kind of ambiance you want during a dinner with family and friends the night before your wedding.
Not only were there flies, but when my parents called the manager/owner the following Monday to tell him about it, he yelled at my mom on the phone and told her there absolutely were no flies. After a bit of discussion, he eventually mailed my parents a $100 gift certificate. My parents gave it to us because they'll never go there again, and we promptly threw it away.
Good food, but terrible customer service.
Though they can be a little pricey, they have great home decor and kitchen items. They had items we just couldn't find at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Because we live only blocks away from a Target, we had to register there. Target gift cards are always handy.
Though our bus drive was a little testy (my wife doesn't agree), the bus itself was very clean, the price was right, and they were very timely. Were the bus driver a little more personable, we would've rated them 5 stars.
Their selection is hard to beat and they are competitive as far as price is concerned. Also, the groom gets his tux free if the groomsmen all rent their tuxedo at Men's Warehouse. The two weddings I've been in (including my own) that used Men's Warehouse are the only weddings I've been part of where someone didn't have an issue with their tuxedo.
Jasmine helped my wife pick out a dress she fell in love with immediately. Avoid the large chain boutiques and find yourself a small, locally-owned shop like Clarice's
What an amazing honeymoon. Jamaica is beautiful of its own accord, but staying at a Sandals location helped make for a phenomenal honeymoon.
Since I'm from Springfield, IL, Amy wanted to add something from my hometown to the wedding. Though our favors were really a donation to the American Heart Association on behalf of everyone attending our wedding, we also had chocolate hearts from Pease's at each place setting. I managed to sneak one during the reception and they were delicious. Pease's is the best candy shop around, bar none.
They provided nice registry and completion gifts for registering there, and had almost everything we wanted. Plus, the 20% off coupons they offer to their customers made the items we registered for even more affordable.
