Waterford Springfield provided a worry-free and accommodating venue. After meeting with them to finalize our plans, they took take of everything perfectly. The set-up for cocktail hour and the ballroom was exactly as desired. We provided them with a box of things to set up (escort cards, place cards, guest book, cake servers) and it was perfect. The staff coordinated with our other vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly. We didn't stress about anything being left out because they have established such an organized system and layout. We would definitely recommend Waterford Springfield for a reception venue.

Working with Studio Saldana was a wonderful experience from the very beginning. Steven was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and full of great ideas! He stay in contact throughout the year and met with us several times to work out details and update us with new info. Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning and we have received countless compliments on the style and quality of photography. In addition to the photography itself, both Steven and Hino were organized, punctual, and consistently kept things on schedule. They even managed to work in Five Guys for the hungry new couple. :-) They quickly became familiar with the entire bridal party and were also very friendly with our guests and other vendors. We would highly recommend Studio Saldana to anyone looking for a stress free and worthwhile experience.

Maryam was such a pleasure to work with from the start! During our first meeting, she listened to my ideas and also provided several helpful suggestions. She never tried to add on something I did not want and assured me any changes could be made up until close to the wedding. Her prices were very reasonable and the flowers were beautiful. After initially discussing one type of rose, she later discovered a new type of rose that would hold up even better and it really did! Everything was delivered on or before the scheduled time. She even worked with my cake vendor to put flowers on the cake before delivery. She was so pleasant and I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Our wedding cake from Victoria's was not only beautiful but also delicious and inexpensive!! We wanted a simple cake that was reasonably priced and Victoria's exceeded our expectations for both. We ended up choosing the Strawberry Dream and countless guests and family members commented it was the best wedding cake they had tasted. We gave a 3 for flexibility because they do not decorate with colored icing and will not put on flowers or a cake topper. We did provide them with blue ribbon which they put on before delivery and they were willing to work with our florist who put on the cake topper and flowers. Overall, we were very pleased with the cake and have gone back several times for other occasions!

DJ Bob Artman did a fantastic job! He was very professional and willing to be as involved in the night as we desired. We wanted to add Indian music to the evening, and he simply asked that we provided him with a CD that night and he would work it in. He was able to read the crowd very well and kept everyone dancing and having fun when appropriate. We did not have a wedding planner, so Bob stepped right in with organizing introductions and making sure the night ran smoothly. He made us aware of upcoming events in the evening and listened to our requests or slight changes throughout the night. Bob also provided lights and had back-up equipment just in case. We would highly recommend him as a DJ!

I was very pleased with my experience at Red Door Spa. I worked with Cathleen for my hair and she did a fantastic job! At my trial hair appointment, she listened to what I had in mind and offered additional suggestions that turned out perfectly. Red Door was able to accommodate my entire bridal party for hair and makeup the morning of the wedding. They even provided another room for us to bring in breakfast while getting ready. They worked with my time schedule to make sure everyone was finished on time. My hair and makeup lasted all day~ from 8:00am till 11:00pm I only needed to reapply my lipstick. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly suggest them to any bride.
