Cobblestone Farms Center is for someone looking for a unique venue and a max of around 180 guests (220 without a dance floor). The woman we were dealing with left the Center midway through our wedding planning and we were not informed of this change. I was a little put off by this, but the new person was very agreeable and worked with me to get the table chart the way I wanted it. There isn't much you can do about decorating since it is a historic venue, but the exposed wood makes it beautiful in its' own right.

You have to bring in your own caterer which for me was a huge bonus of renting Cobblestone Farm. You can also have both your ceremony and reception on the property if you choose. I was a big, big fan!!!

They were always very responsive when I called and were prompt to answer my questions. They even allowed us to stay a little after our contracted time to take a few more pictures. Our ceremony was in the Gateway Garden and it was gorgeous. I couldn't have imagined our ceremony anywhere else!!

The Moveable Feast Catering was the exact business that I needed for our wedding. I wanted an all Vegetarian reception with creative and delicious food. Dan was totally laid back and yet extremely professional. He worked with our budget and with what we wanted to make it happen. The food itself was so good!! Even the most skeptical meat eaters were raving about the food!

We also ordered all our wine/beer, table linens and serving ware through him. I really did not worry about a thing and Dan did not disappoint! I would highly recommend the Moveable Feast catering!

Emily from Smith Gallery Photography is tops!! She has an eye for light and color so all your pictures will be just gorgeous. All contact with her is prompt and professional. Upon meeting her at my wedding she made me very at ease from the first second. Also, there are a wide variety of packages to suit any budget. Quality photography and an affordable price. One of the best wedding decisions I made!

My flowers were everything I never knew I wanted. Melissa from the Floral dept. designed my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets and the centerpieces. I talked with her a bit about the feeling I was going for and let her come up with a vision. The end results were breathtaking and exactly what I wanted. She came in under my budget and delivered a product that I would have payed much more for!

I wanted a square cake with real chocolate frosting (not fondant) that tasted great. Since I lived 1300 miles from where my wedding would take place, my Mom and some bridesmaids met with Mary and told me loved everything about the cake. We booked her and the first time I saw my cake was at my wedding reception. I was so busy that I didn't get to eat any until the next day and man was it delicious! It looked great, was delivered on time and the flavors were wonderful.

I loved my dress! The first time I went a young woman named Robin helped me and she was great! I wasn't terribly thrilled with the service I received from others who worked there, but nothing went wrong and my dress was shipped to my Mother's house in another state with no problems.

Our DJ was Tom Downey and he was great!! I didn't want the traditional wedding music or Top 40 kind of stuff. I was looking at 80s new wave and stuff that I actually listen to. Our DJ was pretty excited about it and he did a fantastic job. Even my cousin who is pretty critical about music commented that our DJ was doing a great job with the flow of the music. He played music that I liked and nothing of what I didn't like! I would definitely recommend Tom!

I had never been to this salon before, but it seemed like it would be suitable. I am so glad that I went with Bana. I made all the arrangements over the phone with Kari who was super helpful, responsive and fun!! We had cheese and crackers on our Mani/Pedi day and mimosas and bagels on my wedding day.

Most importantly though, the service was great! Megan did my wedding day hair and make-up and she did such an amazing job. I felt more beautiful than I ever had before. Megan was also a lot of fun. All my bridesmaids looked amazing and the people that helped us were great.

Kathy from Fantastic Functions is amazing! I am generally an organized person, but did not want to be stressed on my wedding day. Kathy went above and beyond keeping me stress free. She was able to recommend everything from ceremony musicians to dog kennels! She was very prompt in replying to my e-mails and phone calls plus she felt more like a friend making everything smooth and, well, fantastic!
