Weddingbee boards

If my trial deserved an A+, my wedding day was off the charts. They knocked it out of the park. Rachel, Noel and their assistant traveled to my parent’s house and did 11 hair styles and 8 faces in about 5 hours. They were professional and fun at the same time. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of their work. I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day and I have Rachel and Noel to thank. They started my day off on the best foot possible.

Mark was absolutely fantastic. He kept the dance floor full all night and was such a charming MC. People commented all night about how great he was. He played a variety of music that appealed to our guests and us. Both Curtis and Mark were very responsive throughout the planning process.

The cake flavor was outstanding. We were hesitant about D’Amicis because they don’t get much press in the wedding world. They only have a few flavors but they do those few flavors fantastically. We chose white cake with strawberries and lemon cake and both were delicious. The size of the cake was really nice too. They were great to work with for the tasting and the design process.

I booked Jody as part of the venue’s package. She really understood what I was going for with my centerpieces and was willing to work with the Sheraton’ package prices since I didn’t want to pay extra. The centerpieces were HUGE too. Way bigger than I expected (but appropriate for the size of the table). I deducted points because she did include orange flowers in our altar arrangements which I thought was really strange since our colors were black, white and red.

We booked the Colonial after losing our first venue to bankruptcy. They were very accommodating and their package is a fantastic value for the money. They lose points for being difficult to contact in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The day of was FANTASTIC. The guests were happy, the food was great and the room looked beautiful. Hotel block was a nightmare for several reasons – they have an attrition so it was difficult to guess how many rooms to block without being stuck with extras to pay for. They canceled my Mother in Law’s room and we didn’t find out until a week before the wedding (they did fix the problem). The night of the wedding, we had an after party in the bar upstairs and even though we told them to staff appropriately, there was only 1 bartender on duty (for 50 of our guests plus restaurant patrons). All in all, the day was great and we are happy we ended up at the Sheraton Colonial.
