DJ:

Limo Company:

F & M Transportation

"F & M seemed a bit unorganized, but the bus was on time to pick everyone up (some of the guests were late though - so plan for that). They did get a little lost on the way to the venue, but everyone still got there in plenty of time."

Photographer:

Chyna Darner

"Chyna did a great job. Her approach is more photojournalistic than formal, which is exactly what we wanted. We love our pictures. I also love the fact that she went around to each table and took pictures of almost all of the guests."

Rentals Vendor:

Illusions Lighting Design

"I would give them 1 star on customer service and 4 stars on the actual lighting. 1 star because I wanted to talk about the lighting more than once and Larry was too busy. I also wanted to pay him before the wedding and he was too busy to give me an exact estimate."

Rentals Vendor:

Ceremony and Reception:

Cornerstone Gardens

"Cornerstone Gardens is an AMAZING venue. We had pre-ceremony wine, iced tea, lemonade, fruit and cheese as guests arrived, our ceremony was under the tent outside, then the cocktail hour was in the barn with a jazz band playing, lots of passed appetizers, and more wine, beer, and champagne, then guests went to the vineyard lawn for dinner and dancing under the stars. The staff at Cornerstone was incredible, attentive, organized, and very sweet. We had Cornerstone cater the wedding. The food was delicious and the service was top notch."

Hotel:

"Beautiful bungalows right near the heart of the Sonoma Plaza."

Hotel:

Hotel El Dorado

"Great hotel, nice rooms, fabulous restaurant, in the heart of Sonoma. The only down side would be that we could only block out 7 rooms. To block out more rooms they require you to hold an event (dinner, breakfast) which run $5,000-$10,000 each."

MacArthur Place

"Very nice hotel with a great restaurant."

Hotel:

The Carneros Inn

Friday Wine Tasting:

Nicholson Ranch Winery

"Nicholson Ranch has great wine and incredible views of the Carneros Valley. The staff was wonderful. We offered wine tastings, wine tours, cheese/fruit/nuts/olives/bread, and chocolate from Woodhouse. They did not charge an event fee because we held the event during bussiness hours. It was perfect for the Friday evening before our wedding and out-of-town guests loved the wine tour."
