This is probably the most inclusive venue I found while looking for a place to host my ceremony and reception. I wanted a very intimate, smallish wedding that was still very elegant and fun. It was really very perfect. We did our own flowers, music, and table runners but other than that we had to do nothing. It took so much pressure off knowing that the set-up and clean up was to be taken care of for us. Included in their services is an unofficial day of coordiantor. Angel will make sure your wedding goes smoothly. It's important to her that you're happy and your needs are met and she will make sure it happens. Since we did so much ourselves there really needed to be someone to take charge and make sure things got done. She did that for us and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out.

Mandy is so sweet but still so professional. She's very accommodating, patient and a really talented photographer. I just couldn't be happier that I hired her for my wedding. When I look at my photos I'll always remember exactly how I felt on my wedding day, and that's exactly what I wanted. Check her out, you'll love her!

I really love this vendor. The cakes were fantastic. Aside from my top tier, there was none left. In fact I didn't get to eat any other than the bite my husband fed me because when I was done with pictures, the cake was gone. AND I even over bought. I went with the dreamsicle with vanilla custard on two tiers and white with raspberry filling on another. They also did our truffle favors which they offer to package for you but I opted to do it myself because I wanted certain boxes and ribbon, etc. The prices were really stellar for the quality, especially for the truffles. The only complaint I have is that I chose to decorate my cake with ribbon and the ribbon I supplied seemd to be a different color when it was put on the cake. It looked wet down which changed the color of the ribbon and I wasn't expecting it. It still looked absolutely beautiful, I just wan't prepared for the change however small it may have been. Overall, I'm VERY glad I chose this vendor.

Hot Chocolates responded with the the following comments:
I believe the ribbon changed color because of the extreme humidity we experienced around your wedding (it rained for 2 or 3 days straight). We always wait for the icing to "crust" over before we attach the ribbon to prevent that darkening effect, but I think the humidity just made it impossible for the icing to truly dry. The icing even still looks tacky/sticky in our photos of your cake; Mother Nature just doesn't cooperate sometimes!! -Becky

Cindy rocks! She plays the harp beautifully and she has a completely different sound than other harpists I've heard. She just played my wedding last weekend and did a fantastic job. Cindy even learned and arranged a Joanna Newsome song just for my wedding and it totally made my ceremony. It was absolutely perfect.

We used Ken Byrd who did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. Several people commented on it and the groom and I were really very pleased. The ceremony was perfectly tailored to our wishes and Ken really did treat us as though he had known us for a long time. This service is too expensive in my opinion but we did get exactly what we wanted.
