The service at Turf Valley is outstanding. They went out of their way for me. I was looking a box tie and they found me one. The staff is so accommdating. Service is superior. The waitstaff, the bartender, the hotel front desk, bellhops, catering manager, sales rep, etc. I mean everyone there was excellent. I could not have selected a better place for my wedding and ceremony.
The location itself is beautiful. Ideal for a wedding. I love the location. There were some great pictures.
The food is OUTSTANDING. All my guest raved about the cocktail hour and the food selection. One even said the cocktail food stand was one of the largest she has ever seen. The drinks flowed all night and all my guests were extremely happy. Having a hotel on site is the best way to go!

Julie is AWESOME! She is a free lance photographer. We went with a free lancer because I did not want generic wedding shots. I love candid pictures and she is great at it. She is so sweet and flexible. She was there all day and I think I only saw her once or twice. She does not get it the way of the wedding fun!
I would highyl recommend her! Her prices are reasonable for the amount of attention and photos you will get.

Terry was great. She understood they type of flowers I wanted. She was very flexible. I changed my mind like 100 times and she change my order 100 times and did not mind it.
The cost was ok. A little pricey for the limited amount of flowers I got, but the flowers were goregous.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They are awesome! Joe Munson was our DJ.

This is the feedback I provided Absolute:
I just wanted to take this time and express how truly impressed we were with Joe during our wedding at Turf Valley. Many of our guests have called me telling me how great the DJ was and how impressed they were with keeping everyone happy and dancing.
Throughout the whole process, Joe was so flexible and understanding of our expectations. I had some outrageous requests and he happily went along with it. He met with me whenever I wanted and was so helpful with suggestions. Based on his performance, he definitely nailed us on the head. We loved every song he played. Joe really understood what type of wedding we were looking for and they type of guests that will be there. He even changed a song in the middle of it because I wanted to hear New Kids on the Block.
He even checked in on us before the ceremony to see how we were doing. That was so sweet and considerate. We really really like him about.
Without him, our wedding would have sucked. I know that because I was in a wedding this past weekend and her DJ sucked (no, he was not from Absolute HEHE). No one danced at her wedding. Her DJ played corny wedding music that was not even the bride or groom's taste. The wedding actually ended an hour and half early because it was so boring.
I am so grateful for John Paul recommending Joe. He was definitely our style and our wedding would have sucked if it wasn't for him.
I would highly recommend him for any wedding especially ones consisting of late 20 and 30 years old frat boys and sorority girls.
We love him! I cannot express how satisfied we are with him. He is awesome! He is so cool and laid back! He is such a nice guy with great with people! He is so easy to talk to and get along with. All my guests loved him! They cannot stop talking about him. I am still receiving comments about his performance and marital status (I told them he is taken :P) I will recommend him to ALL my friends who are getting married! We love him!!!!!!!

I have already said it many time, but we really really do love him. He was awesome! I could not have asked for a better DJ.

Donna was not very responsive. After our first meeting, it took about 3 weeks to respond to an email and every time she responded, she has a family issue. Not that I did not believe her, but it just happened too often and I was not confident that she will show up. I eventually cancelled her services however I still have not received my deposit back. The deposit was refundable, and I still have not got a hold of her yet. It has been since March 08.
Her only saving grace was her price, but I guess I get what I paid for.

I love Charlene and her team. I used her services for partial planning and they were great! Char is very well connected in the wedding industry and knows a lot people. I booked a couple vendors myself and I was scared that they would not show up. I did not worry about Char's vendor. I had faith in her relationships with them, plus ALL of her vendors were very talents and reasonably prices.
Char is very flexible with the planning. I had so many ideas and changes and she was okay with all of them.
