We had a wonderful experience working with Alice Dalton and the staff at the Boar's Head. We got exactly what we wanted, which is always nice, but there were some other exceptional touches that made our experience more than we expected. For example, they used the extra flowers that our florist delivered for the cake to make table arrangements for the patio--a bonus. Alice also had hors d'oeuvres delivered to our complimentary room for us, expecting (correctly!) that we hadn't had an opportunity to enjoy them during cocktail hour due to photographs, mini-reunions, etc. We had an opportunity to taste many options for the dinner prior to decision-making, and even the portions at the tasting were generous! At the wedding, many guests complimented the delicious and tasteful fare. Alice was flexible and a calming influence throughout it all--even at the event, when we decided to make some impromptu changes, like, "let's do the best man toast now" or "let's start the dances now," even when those decisions deviated from our prescribed schedule. She was an ally in every respect, always keeping me abreast of details and running by me anything she thought I would want to know. She let me personalize things like the champagne toast--I wanted edible hibiscus flowers with syrup in every glass, and ones with ginger ale for the kids--for no cost. It was a wonderful day, due in great part to the efforts of Alice and the Boar's Head staff. Thank you so much!
Working with David was wonderful. Not only is the quality of his work exceptional, but he was easy to contact, quick to respond, willing to honor individual requests and proclivities, and attuned to the needs of the parties involved.
Greg was our DJ, and he was the epitome of taste and class. He was willing to make changes even as late as the day of the event (though I don't recommend it!). The music he played was timeless and fun, and he showcased tunes from many different genres and time periods, honoring our questionnaire. You can't do better than this, suffice it to say. Look no further than National DJ Connection; never was finding a high-quality, reliable, talented, canny, diplomatic, and dapper DJ easier.
I cannot recommend Rev. Claire enough. A beautiful person, Claire is eminently accessible, responsive, flexible, accommodating, personable, caring, reliable, supportive, and lovely. She was patient and accepting of me and my family, and she helped calm me in stressful moments. Her willingness and ability to personalize the service, regardless of religious preferences, was incredible. I am an agnostic with a Jewish parent and a non-denominational parent; my husband's family is deeply Catholic, and yet we were able to craft a ceremony that made everyone happy. Claire sent us MANY options for the ceremony, including vows, readings, declarations of intent, blessings, etc. She also helped by bringing supplies with her, including nice cards printed with our vows, so we didn't have to worry about remembering them. She also made suggestions when we were feeling equivocal--and she gave us some interesting ideas for photographs, including a shot of everyone who attended the wedding, a picture we are grateful to have but would never have thought of taking. Simply put, Claire is the best. No matter what your religion, your style of wedding, or your venue, Claire is the most wonderful officiant a couple could have to minister (!) to such an important day. You'll want to look back at wedding pictures, find one of Claire, and smile. That's what I do.

My bridal party and I had a wonderful experience at Bristles. We all looked and felt beautiful when we left. I particularly want to commend Judy Hayward, my stylist and makeup artist. Not only is she a Renaissance woman--she can do highlights, give a flattering cut, do expert makeup, execute unbelievably beautiful styles, and carry on a great conversation--but she is one of the most intelligent and enjoyable women I've had the pleasure to be captivated by. Lucky is the woman or man who sits in her chair. She's an artist of exceptional talent and a delightful person to boot.
