The location, while small was absolutly perfect for our party of 50 for our wedding. We used the site as both cermony and reception venue. when we arrived everything was clean and ready for us to use. The Weaver House is surrounded by beautiful woods which some of our guest used for short walks. Only bad thing is you have to be out by 9:30P, so no late receptions and no alcohol. But that was fine with us and our wedding day was beautiful.

The food was amazing and the day of the wedding you hardly knew they were there. They served drinks and food without any interference. The price also was really good, we definetly got our money's worth. Although, they were a little slow in responding to calls and questions. :(

Absolutly Amazing!! She was super flexible with us and even worked with us to create a package that suited us, rather than all the other photographers who would only work within thier packages, requiring us to purchase things we didn't want in order to get what we did want. The day of she was lots of fun, everyone liked working with her and she had a lot of creative ideas for pictures.

Very good price. However, like many other reviewers I was initially very satisfied with them but found that when I went to pick up my flowers they had not gotten the correct flowers and had substitued them without contacting me before hand. They then told me that the flowers they didn't get for me were because the flowers were not at the right season so the colors weren't dark enough yet. But when I sent one of my bridesmaids down the street to D&W she found the exact flowers and purchased them there. Then they gave us a hard time because we didn't want to pay for the bright pink flowers they gave me as a substiture for the maroon ones I had ordered.

Then they called us on our honeymoon multiple times demanding a flower bowl that we had rented saying that we had not returned it, when we had. It took my mother going all the way into grand rapids to get them to stop calling.

I definetly would not reccommend them to anyone. Unless you are looking for a huge deal and are not picky about the color or variety of flowers you get.

Chuck was perfect!! Our ceremony perfectly reflected us and our values without forcing us into other people's beleifs like many of the other officiants we had looked at. Chuck met with us multiple times and e-mailed us frequently to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. After the ceremony, all of our friends and family commented on how original and perfect our ceremony. They said that they could definetly see our personalities throughout. His diction was also spectacular. We were able to hear every word he said perfectly on our digital camcorder. Thanks Chuck we will definetly reccommend you!!
