Cakes/Candies Vendor:

Cakes by Kassarda

"Everyone talked about the cake for weeks afterward and how amazing it was. Everything from the taste-test to delivery went smoothly"

Caterer:

39 Rue De Jean Upstairs

"While everyone loved the appitizers, the main dish was cold for me and for some of the other guests and the bar staff made the drinks waaaaay too stiff even when many guests asked them to hold back a bit (this probably contributed to our $1600 vodka bill). Also, they had booked the room the night before, so even though we had a brunch scheduled, we couldn't get into the room until 11:30 the night before."

Florist:

OK Florist

"The larger arrangements and the boquets were lovely, but I wasn't a fan of our table arrangements and my cake toppers were dwarfed by the cake itself (which looked awkward). Karen was awesome to work with though and I would recommend you show up with lots of pictures so she can have a clear idea of what you want."

Photographer:

Southern Pearls Photography

"Dana was a dream to work with and kept us laughing all day. Absolutely the best I could've asked for and BEAUTIFUL images."
