Krysti was more than just our banquet manager. She was almost like our on-site wedding planner. She made it a point to take the time to go over every detail so that our big day would go flawlessly.
Planning with her was truly a pleasure, but our favorite part of the planning process had to be the tasting. From the moment we came in, we were treating like royalty. Of course, we stuffed ourselves! The food is phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about how good it was and how much they ate.
Our wedding itself was flawless. There is such a thing as a perfect wedding, and Maggiano's helped make that true!

Carolyn did such a wonderful job capturing the story and emotion of our day. I was honestly surprised to see the photos when she was done because I hardly remember her taking them. I know I looked good, but she made me look amazing. The photos were delivered to us within 4 weeks of the wedding. We've already ordered some prints to frame and have an album on order. If you want someone who is unobtrusive, sweet, calming, and proffesional, Carolyn Troadec is your girl!

Hair and makeup was one place I did not want to skimp on for my wedding. Hair Comes the Bride has a reputation to uphold, so I figured it would be worth the cost. They are not cheap, but the quality of their work is worth it. My ultimate fear was having a hair/make up artist who flaked on me: This is why I booked them: peace of mind.
They take the time to do a preview and take photos so they can remember exactly what to do on the day of the wedding. I ended up ordering hair extensions which worked out perfectly.
A month or so before the wedding, the girl who was supposed to do my hair and make up was not responding to calls. So, Robin, the owner's assistant, came on my big day instead. (Again, peace of mind. They got you covered). I showed her the pictures taken from the preview and the few changes I wanted to make to the make up, and everything came out even better than I had hoped.
My hair stayed all night but still looked soft, and my makeup looked natural without coming off at the end of the night. My photos are proof! You truly get what you pay for.

Lina is simply amazing! I am one of those type A personalities who has a hard time giving up the reigns. She is so together, that I had no problem putting all my faith in her. She would help with advise during the little problems that came up from etiquette to timelines to family. She was in contact with all of my vendors throughout the planning process and made sure that everything went smoothly on my big day. She even helped me through a photographer snafu when I had to find a new one five months before the wedding.
I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am to have come into contact with her before the wedding. Because of her, my wedding day really was perfect and I was actually able to enjoy it. She is truly one of those rare people in this world that can get down to business but still be your friend and listen.
