Venues
Cakes/Candies Vendor:
Indulgence Pastry Shop
3622 Edison Road #200South Bend, IN, United States
"Best vendor for our entire wedding. Sean was awesome to work with and gave us everything we asked for. The cake tasted absolutely amazing. Everyone at the wedding commented on how delicious and flavorful the cake was. Sean even decorated our cake with fresh floral for us. All around, great company to work with, amazing cakes, perfect experience with them. Couldn't recommend them more!"
Caterer:
Hilton Garden Inn South Bend
53995 Indiana State Route 933South Bend, IN, United States
"Week of the wedding: flawless experience with the Hilton Garden Inn. Day of the wedding: even better. Great food, great service, I didn't need to worry about a single thing and everything went perfectly. Prior to the week that we arrived in South Bend... the communication was a little iffy. Granted there was a change in the Special Events Manager position about 9 months before our wedding date which added to the situation, but would have liked a little better communication through the whole process. Still great vendor, great product, great time."
Ceremony Musician:
Jim Carter
South Bend, IN, USA"Jim leads the brass quintet for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Very easy to work with, flawless performance. They managed themselves and worked well with the organist."
DJ:
the Simple DJ
South Bend, IN, USA"Good price, easy to work with, gives you alot of flexibility with making your own playlist. One minor glitch was that our specific DJ didn't follow our playlist completely. Some of his substitutions went over great, some bombed. Thankfully there were only 2 that bombed. All and all, probably should have been a little more specific with my instructions on straying from the playlist provided. Otherwise, good to work with."
Limo Company:
Royal Excursion
12807 McKinley HighwayMishawaka, IN, United States
"The one reason that Royal Excursion gets 3 stars is that they changed their vehicle type about 2 months before the wedding. They had mentioned this in the initial contract but had stated that they would maintain the 20 passenger capacity. The replacement vehicle ended up being a 15 passenger vehicle (beautiful and brand new, it was nice). Thankfully all 20 of us were able to squeeze our way into the 15 passenger car and only traveled short distances - hotel to basilica, basilica to lunch, lunch to campus, campus to hotel. The driver Jim Hale was fantastic and everything else day of the wedding went smoothly."
Photographer:
Josef Samuel
130 West Wayne StreetSouth Bend, IN, United States
"My husband and I can't recommend Joe enough!!! He was absolutely fantastic and got great pictures of a very unphotogenic couple. He ran around all day with us and was extremely great to work with. He wasn't obtrusive or bossy, or any of the wedding photographer cliches. Everyone in the wedding party and immediate family enjoyed working with him as well. We whole-heartedly recommend Joe!"
Wedding Day Beauty Vendor:
Anointed Beauty/ Melissa Goepfrich
South Bend, IN, USA"Melissa and her team were fantastic! They came to our hotel with all their supplies and got all 9 bridesmaids, bride, mother of the groom, and grandmother of the groom with hair done in under 2.5 hours. Melissa was very flexible with giving each girl their own style, while still looking elegant. Melissa definitely made everything go smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything. (Also, if you're crunched for time between wake up and ceremony for all the beauty stuff, having Melissa and her team come to your house/hotel/etc. Great stress reducer!)"
