I already knew it was a great venue from attending other events and they lived up to everything on our big day. Our guests really enjoyed our reception at WOW because of the great food and service and of course the beautiful room. My parents, my husband and I picked WOW for our reception because of all that and the fact that they give huge discounts for winter events (almost all wedding-related things are cheaper in the winter!) putting the nice venue with open bar and sit-down dinner within our price range. We worked with Nina and she was a great help in the planning process - they have it down to a science.

Can't complain about anything from start to finish. They were great to work with through the planning process and Kate was great on the day-of, getting the right shots without being obtrusive. We are really happy with our pictures!

I love the dress I ended up with, it was the third one I tried on and it was ridiculously cheap for how much material and detail there was. This is not an upscale boutique and you should expect you don't get that kind of service. They are really busy on Saturdays, even if you make an appointment you don't get much attention and may feel harried or rushed. I was also pressured to buy the bustier they sell (an $80 piece of foam) and the sales lady said you can decide if you want that later but should get it now so you get the buy-three pieces-at-once discount. When I went for my first fitting and wanted to return it (all my dress needed was a strapless bra and all the foam bustier did was add like an inch to my waistline) they said all sales were final (which it did say on the receipt - not like I had noticed) and wouldn't even take it back when I majorly complained and told them exactly what the sales lady had told me. Bad customer service I think, because all they said was I'm sorry that lady doesn't work here any more. Luckily mom ended up exchanging the thing for her shoes and a bag. Oh well, beautiful dress in the end although wasn't completely happy with their alterations either - noticed in some pictures one layer looked to be hemmed unevenly but wasn't that obvious and one side of the bodice seemed bumpy.

Our guests all commented on how much they loved the music. We basically created a playlist for the DJ because we knew our guests and what they would like and because we didn't want to hear the same donky wedding music that has become standard and cheesy to us. They were a little reluctant to do that because that can often lead to you hearing what you want and no one else liking it and no one else dancing but it worked out really well for us. The DJ mixed things up well and kept to the playlist while switching fast to slow, well-known to not, etc. The sound quality was good - not too loud and not too soft - and lights were a nice added effect to not have to pay extra for. Only problem was never meeting actual DJ before event so he had to go over a couple things with us at a bad time right before announcing us into the reception.

We really enjoyed the limo bus with our wedding party! It was the perfect solution for my big fat dress. (However do beware of what someone else commented on - you need to upsize for comfort and not try to get a 14-person wedding party in a 14-person vehicle!) Everyone enjoyed the fancy lights and VIP feel. Our driver was also very curteous, punctual and organized.
