Bank Street Annex

Unique and beautiful! This is an old bank that has been redone to be a banquet all. You get all three stories for the whole night. There are some basic decorations there, but I brought in my own and redecorated the whole building. The seating arrangements are a little awkward because of the shape of the building and the position of the dance floor. If you are looking for something a little different, this is a great place to go. They also had fantastic pricing, and were very flexible to changing their menu/bar options.

Freddie Frederick Entertainment

I used this company on a recommendation and had "DJ G." I wasn't able to talk to him until 2 days before the wedding (during a dinner I was hosting for my wedding party). At the wedding, he did not do what my husband and I asked, and we wound up having to run around trying to coordinate all the activities at the reception. He was also unresponsive to requests we made on that night. George also brought an assistant, which we didn't find out about until we were at the reception. His assistant spent the night drinking and dancing with our guests! While the party on the dance floor seemed to go well, my husband and I were very disappointed in with George.

I have heard both Freddie Sr. and Freddie Jr. are excellent, but their schedules book up about 1.5-2 years in advance.

Excellent service and presentation. They listened to my ideas and executed them beautifully. The cake tasted great, too! They are a little pricey and definitely go by the "Rules" that they have made up on how they handle weddings. Definitely worth it.

A pleasure to work with! This is a family owned and operated business and has a very friendly, relaxed environment. They are very helpful, have great prices, and are able to execute the arrangements well. They do handle a lot of weddings, so you have to spell out every single detail of what you want on the contract. The man who writes your contract is not the one who will coordinate your flowers being assembled. I was disappointed because my bouquets were not what I had wanted, but when I looked back at the contract, I see how they got confused... What they made was still beautiful, though, and I would definitely recommend them!

The Pros

The pros are a wedding machine. They have decent prices and give you good deals on packages with more than one service. We only used their videography, and our videographer was okay. Our representative, on the other hand, was terrible! She was outright rude to me EVERY time I had contact with her. I would not recommend this company unless you are really strapped for cash and need a good deal. I originally looked into them on two separate recommendations from friends.

Sara's Bridal

Service oriented and great prices. Not the most ritzy stores, but they have beautiful gowns. Sara will do anything to make sure your gown is just what you want. She has a very thick accent, though! There are two stores, one for Bridal gowns and one for Bridesmaid/MOB gowns.

Macy's

Macy's takes care of you like no other store. Plus they have a great rewards program! Their products are a little pricey, but they often have sales...
