I highly recommend Turf Valley. They made everything extremely classy and simple. We were going for a simple but elegant theme and they were exceptional. They provide you with a go-to person the day of the wedding and that person is literally at your beckon call. They organize everything for your event and everything looks professional and the way you want! They even let us into the room a few nights before the wedding to practice our dancing!

Judy is extremely personable, professional, and honest! She was so reasonable and practical with us. You talk about how you want your flowers to look, but you don't know what they will really look like until the day. When they arrived, they were above and beyond my expectation!

We rented tuxes from Bridal Boutique and everything looked very nice. We had no problems.

We actually had a terrible experience with our DJ, but Jason Wallace, one of the premier DJs, helped us out a lot. Jason made our wedding even though he wasn't our DJ. Pay the extra money to get him or one of the other premier DJs.

We ended up getting a small refund because of what happened at our wedding. The DJ did not follow the schedule, or follow through with his promises, and he was very disorganized. He never turned down the volume even though many people asked him. He no longer works for Absolute Entertainment. I would recommend AE as a company because they did recognize the issue at hand and felt bad about the situation.

David's Bridal Online was perfect for our invitations. It was reasonably priced, had tons of options, and made everything very simple! I even designed my own thank you cards with our names. For an extra $20 (worth it), they will send you an online proof to review before you confirm your order.

We had professional CDs made for our wedding. We had to burn the music on each of the CDs because Discmakers won't burn copyright material, but they printed and cut out the CD inserts we designed. It turned out wonderful! We had people from our wedding party and our close family submit songs for the CD and we put our first dance on it as well.

Sandy is awesome!! She is so professional and put together. She cares about people and wants to get to know her bride and groom before the ceremony. We have nothing but positive things to say about her. We had so much autonomy, but could always get her feedback. The day of our wedding was beautiful and she contributed to that. We received so much positive feedback from our guests.

My hair and make-up looked amazing and not too over the top on my wedding day. I was going for a more natural look and success!! Beth and Mary did an excellent job.

Studio Inspire provided us with our dance lessons.

Background of us:
We had no dance experience and were not looking for typical ballroom style lessons. We knew exactly the style we were looking for--we were doing something unique...a slow song that transitioned into a very fast song and we needed someone to help us organize and choreograph it. This would be a challenge since I'm a slow learner when it comes to dancing and neither of us had experience.

We had a terrible prior experience with another dance instructor (not at Studio Inspire) who was unreliable; additionally, we went to Arthur Murray for our free lesson. While we were very impressed with Arthur Murray, we thought they were a bit overpriced and there were not enough "private" lessons for us---we didn't want a handful of group lessons. We were on a limited time schedule. We had a little over a month.

Studio Inspire we stumbled upon through our officiant and from the moment we walked in the door we knew it was the right place for us. Shara and our instructor, Christine, worked with us until we felt confident. Because we wanted something unique, we spent the first five lessons just grasping what our dance would contain. By the end, we were having so much fun, which is exactly what we wanted!!

The night of our wedding we shocked all of our guests just because we did omething totally out of the ordinary. We feel so good about our dance and just had so much fun!! We feel this was money well spent and will have joyous memories of this for the rest of our lives.
