We had our wedding and reception at Waterford at Springfield on July 18, 2009. We were very pleased with the quality of service and professionalism the staff provided us and our guest. The Waterford is a great place to have your wedding and reception if you have a lot of guest coming from out of town for your wedding. Our guests love the fact that they did not have to drive around the area to get from the wedding to the reception. The food and service were outstanding. I reserved the bridal suite and was suppose when the staff came in to the room and brought food and wine for the bridal party to enjoy while we were getting dressed for the wedding. I would highly recommend the buffet if you are having a wedding at Waterford because it allows the guest the opportunity to mingle more and get to know each other. Our families and friends thoroughly enjoyed our wedding and it is because Louis and the staff at the Waterford made sure everything went smoothly for us. Waterford at Springfield is an outstanding place to have your wedding and reception.

Bella pictures did a great job taking our wedding photographs. Our photographer was Anh Tran, he was fantastic. Even though we only had one photographer, the photos taken by Anh made it look as if we had more than one. Anh was all over the wedding and reception taking pictures. When we received email notification from Bella that our photos were online and ready for review when immediately went online to see them. We were so amazed at some of the photos he actually took. They were so clear and taken from a very artistic perspective. Needless to say we are having a very difficult time selecting the photos for our wedding album because there are so many great shots to choose from. We are very happy with the services provided by Bella and Ahn Tran. Our guests are enjoying look at the photos online and they too are amazed at the shots taken by Ahn. We will be able to enjoy the memories of our wedding for years to come because of the outstanding job Anh did taking the photos.

Bloom Affair and Yetunde did a fantastic job with the floral arrangements for our wedding and reception. The floral arrangements were more than I expected. The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, the boutonnieres and corsages for the wedding party were beautiful. The tall aisle floral arrangements for the wedding ceremony were breath taking. The floral arrangements sitting on the gold stands were ivory color tulle on both sides of the aisle made the room for the ceremony look like we had spent a ton of money on flowers when in fact Bloom Affair is very reasonable priced and they did an outstanding job for our us. Yetunde and her staff arrived on time and had all the floral arrangements set ahead of schedule for the ceremony and they also were kind enough to stay until the ceremony was over so they can relocate the flowers from the ceremony to the tables for the reception. Yetunde is very easy to work with and she does a great job at accommodating her clients. If you are looking for a florist that is reasonable priced and will provide you with top quality floral arrangements than Bloom Affair is the florist for you. Our guests were able to take the floral arrangements home with them and enjoy the beautiful arrangements for days after the wedding was over. If you don't want to worry about the floral arrangements for your wedding than Bloom Affair and Yetunde is the right place.

Wow, our wedding cake was beautiful and it tasted great. Our guests can't stop talking about how delicious and moist the cake was and how much detail was placed into making this cake. We meet with Sandy and showed her a picture of a cake we had found on the internet and told her this is how we wanted our cake with a few minor changes. She incorporated our changes into the design and the cake was just beautiful. Sandy was very easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. We had over 100 guests at our wedding and all of them love the cake with the buttercream icing and strawberry filling inside. Sandy is a top notch cake designer and we would recommend her services to everyone.

We were very pleased with the DJ services Steve Hoffman (Good Note DJ) provided for our wedding. Our guest are still talking about the wedding and how great a job Steve did with the ceremony music and the music for the reception. They also enjoyed the way Steve personalized the wedding reception by reading the script about how Steve and I met. Steve is a true profession and he takes the time to listen to the desires of the bride and groom. He will also help you if you are having trouble selecting music for the wedding ceremony and reception. We would highly recommend Steve if you are looking for a DJ that will make your wedding enjoyable and stress free for you and all of your guest. It has been a month since our wedding and all of our guest are still talking about Steve and the outstanding job he did at our wedding and reception.

Rev. John W. Hoffmann did an outstanding job at our wedding ceremony. When we went to meet with Rev Hoffmann about officiating our wedding, after a few minutes of talking with him we knew he was the right person to marry us. He took the time to get to know both of us and to personalize our ceremony the way we wanted it to be. He provided information to help us personalize our ceremony. He responded quickly to any questions we had and he once we provided him the information for the type of ceremony we wanted, he provided us a copy for our approval. Our guests enjoyed the way Rev Hoffmann officiated the ceremony and they said he did a wonderful job and they love the way he talked about marriage and the meaning of it. Rev Hoffmann made our wedding day very special for us.
