My mom is a wedding cake baker, and I'd she'd be happy to share any information with you.&nbsp; She made Paula Deen's cake and knows most people the business.</p> <p>Let me know and good luck!! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-80565 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:27:41 +0000 LittleBear 80565@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hello fellow Chicagoan planning a wedding in the South! <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_smile.gif" /></p> <p>I am planning my wedding in North Carolina on an island as well. I am going there in 2 weeks to make final choices on locations. I am a DIY to the max (because I love doing that kind of stuff and all my bridesmaids are very &quot;crafty&quot;) and have found that working with a hotel coordinator allows me to make things even more personal. Wedding coordinators are great and have wonderful ideas, but I have just enjoyed the resort help I have used.</p> <p>Also, as I'm sure you know, it is helpful to have someone where you are getting married who is willing to do a lot of little extra things for you. There are things that will just be harder to accomplish when you are farther away than if it was in our lovely city. My fiance's parents live in the area and we are able to ship things directly to their home for storage till the big day. They were also helpful (like all the other wonderful Bee's here) in giving&nbsp;us hints on the places to consider and steer you away from the not-so-wonderful places!</p> <p>I am still choosing vendors for my wedding and am looking at the hotel's lists but approaching them independently and asking for pictures and references.</p> <p>&nbsp;Good luck on planning your big day Rachel! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-80536 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:16:18 +0000 racheljo 80536@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>crysd,<br />Thank you for the reply... I'll send you a PM!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-79642 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:50:28 +0000 crysd 79642@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>racheljo,</p> <p>i am planning my&nbsp;wedding&nbsp;in st. simons,&nbsp;but planning from Atlanta (5 hours away.)&nbsp;&nbsp;our reception location is the Ocean&nbsp;Lodge (new&nbsp;and absolutely beautiful), we are using the wedding planner&nbsp;from the&nbsp;Ocean Lodge, as it was included in the cost.&nbsp; i am finding that st. simons is such a small place, the&nbsp;resort planner is working fine.&nbsp; let me know if you have&nbsp;any other questions -- as we are starting to figure&nbsp;out our vendors and other details.</p> <p>-crysd&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/savannah-venues-and-caterers#post-74210 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:23:44 +0000 jpals25 74210@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Can anyone tell me anything about Ships of the Sea as a venue?</p> <p>What about catering suggestions?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-68284 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:53:39 +0000 KNW 68284@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>PS -- my reception was actually at the King and Prince. I'll give you all the feedback you want. :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-68283 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:53:04 +0000 KNW 68283@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>racheljo,</p> <p>I live on St. Simons and got married here 10 months ago. I just sent you a PM. </p> <p>Also, I used a photographer that was n Hawaii that is now based in Savannah and travelled to St. Simons to do our pictures, so I can give you input on them as well. Finding a great photographer was one of my biggest challenges.</p> <p>Yay for another St. Simons bride!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/long-distance-wedding-planning-il-to-ga#post-68225 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:19:36 +0000 racheljo 68225@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My FF (Future Fiance) and I are very interested in getting married on St. Simons Island, in Georgia. I would appreciate some advice on planning directly through a hotel (<a href="http://www.kingandprince.com/weddings.php">King &amp; Prince Resort</a>) verses using a wedding planner in the area.&nbsp; I live in the Chicagoland area so I would be planning everything from afar but I have visited the island and know the possible venues.&nbsp; </p> <p>Is it easier to use the hotel's package of recommended vendors or go find my own? It seems like there's a lot of Savannah vendors that are willing to make the trip. </p> <p>Thanks for your imput Bees!<br />Rachel</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-51873 Tue, 20 May 2008 13:51:33 +0000 KNW 51873@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I live in coastal Georgia, an hour south of Savannah, but my parents live in Savannah, and it is a beautiful city. April, May and September are perfect here, but June through August are HOT and muggy. I got married here on the coast last year in mid-September, and it is my favorite month of the year. It's warm, but not oppressive, but not chilly at all, and everything is still green and lovely.&nbsp; October is nice too, but it starts to get cooler at night (in my opinion, but I like th hot weather).&nbsp; Savannah is wonderful. St. Simons Island (where I live) is gorgeous, too, and very popular for weddings. Let me know if you want more info on the area. Good luck! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-51525 Mon, 19 May 2008 13:43:01 +0000 lulabell 51525@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Yes Avoid Summer... so hot and killer mosquitos. I would suggest Oct-Nov. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-51504 Mon, 19 May 2008 12:09:43 +0000 AliCherri1 51504@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thank you! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-51386 Sun, 18 May 2008 23:09:01 +0000 caliocteach 51386@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Avoid late spring and all of summer!&nbsp; Savannah is amazingly beautiful.&nbsp; I would say October - November if you want warmer weather.&nbsp; January - March for cooler weather. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-51355 Sun, 18 May 2008 21:01:58 +0000 cbkj 51355@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>FI and I went in January after a weekend in Hilton Head and it was warm. but bearable. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/ca-girl-thinking-of-being-a-savannah-bride#post-50555 Thu, 15 May 2008 17:30:10 +0000 AliCherri1 50555@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies - <br />I live in Southern California, but I was born in GA (Atlanta) and my FH and I have toyed w/ the idea of getting married in Savannah.
