There were things we really loved about the Waterford and things that looking back we did not like. It is a beautiful site and overall we wouldn't change much about our wedding there but they don't have a good place to take pictures. They have a beautiful fountain in the front lobby and it would be great to take pictures there but it's right where guests are and if there's another wedding there's other guest around that area. They also don't like the brides seeing each other so if you are taking pictures and the other brides ceremony is starting at that time they push you out and hide you. I was not happy with that.

We also had boxes for cake for our guests to take home. We don't think they cut big enough pieces of cake and probably threw out or took some of our wedding cake.

But overall those are the only negative things. The food was amazing and all the guest raved about the food so that was awesome. The site was beautiful and let us do a bunch of decorations.

Melissa from Sylvain Florist was awesome! She was always so friendly and helpful. The flowers that she put together for my wedding were some of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen. Melissa's shop is really close to my house and so when I stopped in the day before the wedding she was very kind about showing a to-be-bride the arriagements she was already working on. I highly reccommend Sylvain's Florist.

Sandy did an amazing job with our wedding cake! It was absolutely beautiful and the taste was so yummy; my guests are still talking about it. I also wanted to surprise my groom with a grooms cake and Sandy helped me with that. I wanted an iPhone cake and she came through beautifully with it and my guests loved it and my husband was totally surprised and thrilled with it.
I would definitely reccommend using Sandy!! I can't wait to eat our cake topper in a year!

Diane was really excellant to work with and she performed a wonderful ceremony. She spoke clearly and everyone could hear her really well. She also always replied to e-mails in a timely manner and was always friendly. If you are looking for a simple sweet short ceremony Diane already has one prepared. It was so easy. You also can't beat the price; since Diane is a state official she only charges the states fee of $50 and milage and then we gave her a tip. We definitely reccommend Diane as an officiant!

Vicki was really great to work with. She always replied to my emails and had some really great ideas for the wedding. She has a great eye for details and good eye for decoration. Since my ceremony and reception were in the same room with a cocktail hour in between for the change over I wanted to make sure I had a coordinator that had a good eye for that change over. And Vicki did a great job with that!
