The food was wonderful! All of my guests agreed. I had to ask several of our guests to please leave us alone so we could eat since I knew how good the food was. I made sure I ate on my wedding day. The only complaint I know of was the food service time. My husband and I chose to have an attendent making and serving pasta in our pasta buffet. This does slow down the service. Unfortunatly the attendent didn't really let the guests know that he was there to make custom orders if needed. That's the only drawback I encountered and I don't feel it was a show stopper at all. The Galzev was WONDERFUL to work with. All of my questions were answered in a timely mannor and everyone was great work work with.
The ceremony and reception were perfect! The weather was perfect for an ourdoor ceremony infront of the hotel's fountain. The hotel is beautiful and my reception was decorated exactly the way I wanted it. The ball room provided the optimal reception for all of our guests. All of the staff was wonderful to work with and I feel that my husband, myself and our guests were compeltely taken care of. I recommend this venue!

After our tasting at Speculoos my husband and I had decided that was the bakery we wanted to use. The cake was delicious and the pictures of their previous work were creative and impressive. I was having a beach themed wedding and I wanted a cake in the shape of a sand castle. I had brought pictures of cakes I had seen and asked if that was possible. Speculoos was the only Bakery that was willing to attempt the wedding cake I wanted and it turned out FABULOUS! I got so many compliments on not only the look of both our cakes but the taste. The cakes turned out prefect. I plan on ordering more cakes from Speculoos for other special occasions.

I found the perfect wedding dress at David's Bridal. The dress ended up coming in earlier than planned and I was able to schedule alterations in a timely manor. I was very impressed with the quality of my dress and the price! David's Bridal also had a wide selection of brides maid dresses. My girls did not all wear the same dress and David's Bridal was able to fit all of them in a dress that complimented everyone.

Magnet Street has LOTS of options to choose from. We started by ording our Save the Date magnets and then decided to order our invitations from Magnet Street as well. I wanted invitations with a simple beach background and they had exactly what I wanted. They were easy to work with, easy to contact and helpful with suggestions or problems. Nothing was printed until the customer was satisfied. I recommend this vender.

My husband did not discuss rings with me, he just bought one. Robbin's Brothers did a wonderful job helping him pick out a ring. They were also very helpful when we purchased our wedding rings and we have gone back for other purchases as well. I recommend this vendor.

Bay Area Celebrations helped make my wedding day perfect! Ms. Bridgeford was very helpful with any questions I had leading up to the wedding and responded in a timely mannor not only by phone but by e mail and sometimes both. The rehearsal went very well and all kinks were ironed out. After working with Bay Area Celebrations I was confident that everything would be handled on the day of the wedding and I would be free to greet my guests and enjoy the day. The reception hall was set up exactly how I wanted and I was VERY pleased. The wedding started on time and was organized. My guests only had one complaint (food service) and everyone had a great time. Ms. Bridgeford was very attentive to the schedule however also made sure that the bridge and groom had everything they needed and even managed to take a few pictures for us. My experiance with Bay Area Celebrations was more than I could have asked for and made my wedding one of the best days of my life!
