These are the my vendors I used. They were all awesome!!! Ceremony & Reception Venue - The Signature Grand – A- I am originally from South Florida but about 2 weeks after getting engaged I moved to Atlanta Ga so I’m a semi OOT bride. I booked Signature Grand the week I got engaged. We had a few bumps in the road but they exceeded ALL my expectations on the day of. I worked with the Director of Catering the entire time and the only complaint is to make sure you get everything in writing. A few conversations we had seemed to be forgotten and I had to “fight” to get them to honor it. Overall I loved the one stop shop and the ability to transform the space décor wise. Photography - Kristen Wynn Photography – A+++++++++ Okay so to say that I LOVE Kristen is an understatement. I booked Kristen a year out from my date. I found her while searching the knot boards for an affordable photographer, as I was not willing to pay 3K for pictures. After seeing her style we were torn between Kristen and a photog double her price who had more experience. But once we talked to her we loved her. She seemed so sweet, open and honest. She was also very willing to answer any questions I had and I had TONS of questions. A month before my wedding she experienced a family emergency. She remained professional and assured me she would give me quality photos on my wedding despite her personal affairs. On the wedding day she made sure we took all the pics we wanted was very organized and kept me extremely calm. My entire family commented on how organized and awesome she is. I have already seen a sneak peek of our photos and I love them already. I highly recommend her. Planner/DOC - Fabulous Fêtes & Events – A++ I hired Justine about 30 days until my wedding after firing my old DOC planner. She is AMAZING! She made sure the evening flowed and that we were all taken care of. She is super patient, and set everything up to my liking. She even found me an awesome MUA and worked magic to get him for me on my wedding day. I highly recommend her to any bride looking to have a fabulous stress free day. Cinematographer/Videographer - Love Bug Productions – A+ Ben & Summer are awesome! They arrived and got right to work, I barely noticed they were there. They worked well with my photographer and were not pushy nor intrusive. I am still waiting for video but based on their service the day of I highly recommend them. Wedding Cake - Divine Delicacies Our cake was included in my package through the venue, they were super easy to work with on upgrades and ordering process was smooth. The cake tasted amazing and everyone loved it. Ceiling Draping - Special Event Decorators – A+++ My room and lighting were beautiful. No one in South Fl does draping like Anderson. If you want a WOW effect he is your go to person. PhotoBooth - Sound Storms DJ – A++ We bought them through a groupon, he arrived on time and with tons of props. The booth ran all night long and all our our guests loved it! DJ - Vision DJs – A We loved their online planning site, he arrived on time and played awesome music. The only complaint is he did not have my husband’s ceremony song after he assured me they did. And they also messed up our introductions. He tried to make up for it all night which is why I would still recommend them. rated him a B. Florist - Creations By Blanca – A++++ Blanca gave me more for my money than I could EVER ask for. Our centerpieces were Glamorous and my ceremony room was unbelievably beautiful! Besides my photog she was my favorite vendor. LOVE her!! Chiavarri Chair Rentals - Brelex Rentals – A++++ I rented Chiavarri chairs from them they were the most affordable at 3.50 a chair. I didn’t want to rent 2 sets of chairs so I asked them to move them from the ceremony to the reception with only a 45 minute window. They set up and moved them quickly and no one would have known different. Great company awesome customer service. Linens- CVLinens – A+ Bought my pintuck linens from them great quality and cheaper than renting. Super fast shipping and look out for discount codes. Bridal Make Up Artist - Lutz Karpf – A++++ After my first trial didn’t work out I hired Lutz greatest decision ever. He made me feel and look like a million bucks. I wish I could have him get me dressed everyday. I told him I wanted Glam and I got GLAM Make-Up Artist for Bridesmaids & Bridal Hair Stylist - Lisa Lee of Alluring Faces Lisa did make up for all my girls and mom, they looked smashing!!! She also did my hair and recommend options for extensions. I have natural un relaxed hair so finding a hair dresser for African American hair was extremely difficult. She answered all my questions and came to me on the day of and got right to work. She also dealt with my picky bridesmaid and re did her hair with no fuss. At the end I LOVED my hair and it last until the day after. I got so many compliments on my hair and the girls look. She also covered all my visible tattoos and made me look flawless. Highly recommend her if you want to look FABULOUS. Bridesmaids Dresses - After Six & Dessy via Madame Bridal My girls lived out of state so I selected a style and they went in to try them on. It is not a fancy shop but they have affordable prices compared to the “nicer” shops. Great customer service as well. Tuxes - Mr Formal Super great store, good customer service and they matched and beat prices of another quote I got from a store in Atlanta. Limo - Holland Limo One of the only companies I could find who would do a one way transfer. The driver arrived on time and the limo was clean and nice. Invitations & Day of Stationery - SignatureBySarahDesigns http://www.signaturesbysarah.com/ I started working with Sarah for stationary, she is a graphic designer and supplies the design and you do the printing to save on cost. Sarah designed all my wedding stationery, she was super easy to work with and gave me designs I could only dream about. She is creative and affordable. Highly Highly recommend her. Catprint.com - All paper printing I worked with Carol on my printing. They do custom sizes, and offer high end paper. I printed my invites and programs through them on a thick linen felt paper. My guests loved them. They have great customer service and awesome pricing.
