If you are looking for a classy, but cost effective place to have your reception, Eagle Eye Golf Course is the place to go. They also have a beautiful wedding garden and chapel where you can have your wedding and reception all in one location. They were fast at responding and making sure your day was as good as it possibly could be.

If you are looking for professional quality photos for a reasonable price, do not use Yankee Photography. A family friend recommended her to me and I was impressed by the work in her studio, however the photographer failed to mention it came with an outrageous price. What you think you are getting and what the end result are, are completely different. I paid $1500 for what I thought was 10 hours of her time, 1,000 photos, a DVD of the photos and quality enhanced photos, however, she didn?t take the time to crop the photos, take out red eyes, position the wedding party so that everyone flowed well together, didn?t make any of the pictures unique and about half my pictures were duplicates.

She does not respond quickly to emails or phone calls and what their company mission states, is not at all what she delivers. If you want a day to remember, take my advice and find a different photographer.

This company couldn't have been more easier and cost effective to work with. If you have a design in mind, she can recreate it for you far cheaper than any other place I found. She also has a ton of unique flavors and everyone raved at how great my cake was.

I couldn't have been more pleased with my dress and the cost, however, every time they promised me something, they failed to deliver. It took almost 8 months to get my dress in, when they told me it would be about 3 to 4. It took about 2 months for my jewelry to get in, when I was told 2 weeks. I was also told that they would do my alterations when I bought my dress, only to find out that they were going to charge me $300 to shorten it and the lady who does the alterations was a complete witch.

It's an affordable place, just don't expect great customer service.

This band not only played live music, but also DJ in between sets and did my ceremony music and the music for the unity candle. They had the entire crowd up and dancing and our guests were raving about them weeks after the wedding. They are affordable and really know how to get the crowd up and dancing the night away.

I ordered my RSVP and invitations through this company. I had never seen invitations like this. I ordered about 225 invites and 100 RSVPs and got them for about $250. I couldnt believe the price and I received a ton of compliments on the design of them.

I ordered my bridesmaids tote bags and a travelers bag and they were a hit. They were of much better quality than I had envisioned they would be and my girls use them all the time.

He was a friend of ours, but did an amazing job. He did exactly what we had ask and incorporated some humor to take from us being so nervous.

We had the entire salon to ourselves. We brought in food and drinks while we got our hair done. She also has a nail technican that worked on some of their nails, gave pedicures, massages and did waxing.

This was by far the cheapest rental place I could find. They were timely and did a great job decorating my hall and head table.

This is who I registered through and they have been so easy to work with. My registry was always correct and people had no problems trying to buy off of it. I had trouble with all my other registries and would suggest people just stick with Bed Bath & Beyond.
