The Brown Sugar Design husband and wife team - Jonathan and Whitney Speir - are dream wedding vendors! They are so talented at what they do, however, in addition to this, they are devout professionals. They are insistent upon a final product that exceeds your expectations.

Jonathan and Whitney listen avidly to your ideas and take your design concepts to the next level. I could not be more pleased with the Save the Dates and Wedding Invitations they have created for us. I also appreciate their phenomenal customer service. They are right on top of everything and deliver within their promised timelines. They strive to work within your stated budget and offer ideas on how to achieve the look you desire within your price range. They are simply fabulous and bar none the - BEST!

Additionally, do not hesitate to contact them if you are outside of the greater Seattle area. They are happy to work with clients all over the world and their professionalism and years of experience make the process just as seamless as if you were local.

Seattle Diamonds

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Gemological Trading Corp/Seattle Diamonds is a total gem in the jewelery industry! We were dealing with another local Seattle engagement ring jeweler and found that GTC had such wonderful service, high quality, knowledgeable staff and absolute best pricing that we were left no choice but to give them our business.

They are phenomenal and committed to building relationships instead of just getting in on a piece of your wedding planning pie. They would much rather get the best situation for you, based on your budget, by finding you the best diamond/setting for your dollar. This was important to us as we placed utmost importance on the quality of the cut of our diamond and were pleasantly surprised at their ability to find diamonds and fair pricing to meet our strict criteria but limited budget.

We were thrilled to have found such a great jeweler and we recommend them to everyone. They are the BEST at what they do.

Your Dream Dress

2010-03-11 14:41:20

I am truly impressed with www.yourdreamdress.com. Not only do they provide amazing - authentic - new - designer gowns at heavily discounted prices (Yay) they also provide quality accessories.

I just ordered a beautiful Fenaroli by Regalia veil through them at 51% off the original price!! Their customer service was prompt and courteous and really helpful.

I initially emailed to inquire and Angela responded with an in-depth, detailed email. I then called - several times - with subsequent questions and Angela was always prompt to answer and seemed happy to provide any additional information or assistance I required. Given that I was concerned that a diamond white veil may not suit my ivory dress, Angela went to the trouble of and took the time to compare ivory silk satins to this particular veil to see if it made a good match for me. Not every bridal shop would go to this trouble. Additionally, given my personal circumstances, yourdreamdress.com was able to accommodate an exception to their standard policy, which, in my opinion, was generous and very much welcome.

This is the customer service that dreams are made of ... Now - I can't wait to receive my gorgeous veil!!

New Renaissance Cakes

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Bonnie from New Renaissance Cakes is a delightful individual and is amazingly talented at what she does! We were thrilled to work with her and in awe of her humble attitude given the gorgeous cake goodness she whips up!

I am thrilled that we decided to have our cake done by New Renaissance - Bonnie took extra special care to painstakingly match our cake design to the design on our invitations. The cake looked spectacular and was DELICIOUS!

There are many flavors from which to choose so it was hard to decide. We decided on Bananas Foster and Cappuccino Explosion and were elated with our choices.

Thanks for being such a superstar, Bonnie!!! We are SO looking forward to our complimentary anniversary cake on our first year anniversary!!

Kelly Chandler Photography

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Kelly is OUTSTANDING!! She is a top notch photographer and fun to work with to boot!

Kelly is an engaging individual whose vivacious personality makes it easy to be "on" for your wedding pictures.

Kelly is a professional who takes her job seriously. She is there for you - the couple - and is committed to making your pictures spectacular so that you will treasure them forever.

We were entirely honored to have her play such a pivotal role in our day and would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Selecting a wedding photographer is an arduous task. We interviewed several and weren't sure how to make a choice .... Kelly's photo albums, personality and professionalism tipped the scale - She was the hands down best choice!

Kelly - Thank you for being SO fabulous!!

Affairs to Remember

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Greg Lowder of Affairs to Remember delivered, as promised.

We knew that we wanted to go with Greg the first time we happened to meet him, by chance. On our first site tour at our reception venue, Greg was there setting up for an event that evening. He was professional, pleasant and personable.

Not only was he a pleasure to deal with, he also came highly recommended from every wedding venue we toured and by all the wedding planners we interviewed.

Greg is experienced and has studied the art of DJing a wedding and has it mastered. He is committed to making your event a success and to achieving your goals. Greg is full of great ideas and unique ways to personalize your wedding reception so that your guests remain engaged and enjoy themselves as much as the bride and groom.

Thank you Greg for all that you did for us. You did a wonderful job of MCing and made our reception memorable -everyone had a fabulous time!

April Greer Studio

2010-03-11 14:41:20

April's photographic talent and vision are incomparable. In a word, she is phenomenal!

The ravest reviews cannot as effectively express the quality of her work. Take a look at her blog and you will see a spectacularly breath-taking body of work that will have you craving her next entry or blog-stalking as I affectionately like to call it.

Thanks to our equally as extraordinarily talented photographer, Kelly Chandler, who knew that I also admired April's work, my husband and I had the good fortune to have April second shoot at our wedding. Even now it is almost incomprehensible to think that both of these ridiculously incredible photographers were shooting our wedding!!!

In addition to her talent, April has a dynamic personality and the confidence instilled by devout professionalism required to blend seamlessly into the background, as necessary, or to take center stage and direct people to get the perfect shot.

I am THRILLED with our pictures and have no doubt that they turned out so fabulously due to the hard work that our DREAM TEAM photographers - Kelly Chandler and April Greer- exerted to ensure that they exceeded our expectations!

Choosing an e-pic, b-pic and/or wedding picture photographer is not easy. If you are in Seattle and/or in any other part of the world, for that matter - you will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not consult either one of these ladies before deciding who to choose for your special day ...

If, of course, you have no interest in looking stunningly glamorous in your pictures ... other photographers will do. :)

Thank you, April for being so good at what you do and for taking such beautiful pictures of the memories that we will cherish forever.

Tiara's On Location

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Tiara did an amazing job with my bridal make-up and made me look and feel beautiful!

Tiara is professional and efficient - She listens to what you want and then executes flawlessly. She also has a great sassy personality that adds the perfect amount of energy and humor!

She did an amazing job on my mom's make-up and all my bridesmaids loved her as well!

Excellent job, Tiara -- Thank you!!!

The Tuxedo Club

2010-03-11 14:41:20

Bob Buhrman, owner of The Tuxedo Club is a professional.

He is pleasant to deal with and just plain good at what he does. My fiance and I went to visit him for a consult and he was incredibly helpful and a delight to be around. He spent a ton of time with us and was entirely accommodating. After experiencing this level of customer service, there is no way we will even consider dealing with any other Tux vendors.

In addition, we have a lot of out of town groomsmen and Bob makes it easy for them to get all set up. The best part about Bob's service is that he also picks up tuxes in from downtown Seattle hotels on the day after the wedding. No extra charge! How great is that??!!
