Ft. Belvoir is beautiful and you get an amazing deal for the cost. The food was wonderful and the room was gorgeous. I had a hard time communicating with the staff at Ft. Belvoir and they were bad at calling me back. They provide no assistance the day of the wedding, so I hired a day of coordinator which was the best thing I could have done. My day of coordinator took care of everything and saved me from being stressed out.

After initially speaking with Brian it was clear that the pictures on his website, his flexibility and style were truly a match for my husband and myself. Unfortunately Brian was not able to photograph our wedding, instead he sent his associate Marilyn DiMarco. Marilyn was AMAZING to work with! The pictures that she took captured not only the events of our wedding, but truly captured the emotion. The photojournalistic style mixed with the more traditional pictures that we requested were perfect! Brian edited all the pictures, put together our DVD photo album and did an outstanding job. The pictures were so incredible I don't know how we are going to narrow down our pictures to pick only 50 for our album!

Working with Carol was a delight! She is truly an artist and has a vision. After speaking with me for half an hour she was able to truly understand me and made my flowers match my wedding. The quality of the arrangements and flowers was a steal for the price that she charges. I am so happy we went with Carol. She is very busy and sometimes takes a few days to get back to you, but she always does and is very reliable.

I had a very positive experience shopping at Macy's. I am plus sized and they made me feel more comfortable than any other bridal salon. I loved my dress and it was a wonderful price. I had a very negative experience with alterations. I had requested that they make sure my strapless dress (it was the first time I have worn a strapless dress) fit me perfectly. I expressed a lot of concern about being busty and not being able to dress. The seamstress reassured me again and again it would be perfect. The minute I began dancing my dress slid down--it was almost inappropriate and stressed me out. Pulling up my dress every 5 minutes was the only thing that took away from the joy of my wedding day. After my wedding I brought pictures to the store. They apologized and refunded some of my money. If I were to do it all again, I would still buy my dress at Macy's, but I would bring it somewhere else for alterations.

Millenium was the highlight of our wedding! People are still commenting 3 months later how incredible they were. They had everyone on the dance floor for the entire night. They did not take one break and played beautiful music during dinner. I would HIGHLY reccomend Millenium for any wedding!
