Leith Gaines

Leith did a great job! She took over all the planning a week before the wedding and ensured that all arrangements were taken care of. She had back up plans, and made the day of the wedding worry free. Probably the best thing we can say is that the day went better than expected which includes all those things you don't ever think about, all the while she was no more than a look away when we needed her.

Coughlin-Glaser Photography

The photographer was awesome! We had a free engagement session prior to the wedding to get a feel for each other. This session came with 300 or so images of us in the scenery we chose. Awesome!!! Not to mention that this session was included in the standard package. Several guests commented on her professionalism during the wedding. We came away with many priceless photos that made up for the pricey contract. She was very easy going and accommodating. She also did a great job putting together a slide show to music on the internet. We were able to get a DVD containing all our pictures which seemed more affordable than purchasing physical images from their print shop.

Palate Pleaser

Multiple guests commented on how great the cake was. The cake was delivered on time. It was not decorated completely as planned, but nothing detrimental. There was also a mix up about a grooms cake that we originally had not ordered, then later did order and did not receive. There was enough cake for our guests however.

Lucy's Informal Flowers

The flowers were gorgeous! The bouquets were beautiful. I was a little disappointed with the pricing of the boutinerres, and the simplicity of them, but it was what we had discussed. Lucy even added a special unique touch to my bouquet that was a surprise to me but was a wonderful gift that made a lasting memory.

Lake Cliff Bed & Breakfast

This was the site we choose for the wedding venue. We rented out the site for the entire weekend. This comes with 3 guest rooms and the run of the main house and grounds from Friday at noon until Sunday @ noon. Overall we really enjoyed the venue and think it was the perfect setting for our day. Location was perfect and easy to find. It's driveway is located just off the I-84 but surprisingly the sound drifts away as you walk down the driveway. The site Features 2 areas right off of the 200'+ cliff. We had our ceremony on the east side then moved the party to the west side where dinner and dancing took place. Our entire guest list was about 70 and we had plenty of room to move around. The Dance floor was a little small but that is easily remedied by utilizing hood river supply.

Best Western Hood River Inn

This was the location of the Grooms Dinner as well as Sunday Brunch. We also had the restaurant cater our dinner the day of the wedding. The coordinator from the Best Western was awesome! She was very thorough and detailed. They met with us several times before the week of and then did a walk though at the site to go over all details. All of the expectations we mentioned were met. One note of advice though, if you would like to keep the leftover's you need to mention it to the caterer before the event. Our nerves were shot by the time we sat down to eat and therefore we didn't eat much. Thank god our Wedding Coordinator made us a plate for later that night.
