Band:

Troy Entertainment

"Pete Troy, the owner of Troy Entertainment, DJ'd our wedding and it was wonderful. He was very interactive and all of the guests commented on how good of a job he did. He has a nice feature where you can request your "definitely play list", "definitely do not play list", and "play if there is time". It was great because he knew exactly what we wanted to hear. People are telling us that they had more fun at our wedding than any other wedding and I attribute a lot of that to Pete Troy. We would definitely recommend his company without hesitation."

Photographer:

Alevtina Photography

"We have loved Alevtina Photography from the beginning of our wedding planning. Alena and her husband (owners of the company) were absolutely wonderful. Alena is very personable and flexible. We took two separate sets of engagement pictures, which turned out wonderful. She spent as much time with us as we wanted and she was very accomodating to our wishes. She also was very quick to get us our pictures back. As far as the wedding day went, she offered to get there first thing in the morning to catch everything throughout the day. She was not invasive and she never got in the way. She is very open to suggestions and I got all of the pictures that I hoped for. I have not received my proofs yet, but it has only been a month since the wedding day. I think that she does an absolutely wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone."

Ceremony:

St. Francis de Sales

"The process of getting married at St. Francis de Sales was fairly painless. We were concerned being that it is a catholic church and we know that some churches are very strict and the process is difficult. We had Fr. Vrana as our priest and we really liked him. He was very nice and personable with a good sense of humor. We met with him three times. The first meeting was just to get to know eachother and for him to get all of our information (certificates for baptism, conformation, etc). We met a second time to take the marriage assessment test. He took the test and analyzed our results and met with us the last time to go over the test with us. We also had to do a day long pre-cana class. The next time we saw him was at the rehearsal. He was organized and kept the rehearsal on track. My only complaint was that there was not a "church planner" that was there to help us on the wedding day. The men come through the front of the church and all the ladies are in the back of the church behind closed doors and have no idea what is going on!! My florist actually ended up helping. She shut the back doors after the bridesmaids walked down the aisle and helped my dad and I get in place for our entrance. She opened the doors for us to come down the aisle. If it wasn't for her, we would have been standing there with everyone able to see us while we waited for the music to start. But, if that is the worst part about the church, I can't complain! The church is very pretty and looks very classic. We had a beautiful ceremony."

Reception:

Brennans Party Center

"Brennan's Party Center did a wonderful job with our reception. From the very beginning, they were so accomodating and helpful. They have an organized system and everything is spelled out very easily. As far as the night of the reception went, we were really impressed. There was a host present in the room at all times and he was available if we needed anything. He checked with us throughout the night to ensure that everything was ok. Most importantly, everyone said the food was outstanding. They run a great business that specializes in customer service. We were very impressed and we would recommend this venue to anyone."
