Photography - Fairytale Images & Cheryl Neuharth Photography
Our wedding photographer is actually my Fiance's mother and his Aunt. My Fiance's mother will be taking only pre ceremony pictures and her sister will take over for the rest. They are both amazing wedding photographers who love what they do! I am so blessed that they were willing to do this for us for free and I know that the pictures will turn out amazing, because they both have a love for what they do.

Florist - Intuitive Blooms
I am so excited about our florist! We have booked with Lacey from Intuitive Blooms! She does amazing work and loves what she does! Her pricing was also something that had us hooked from the beginning. She will be using different shades of pink daisies for everything and will be adding pink carnations into my bouquet for the filler. I can't wait to see how that turns out!

DJ - K-Fult Productions
We have spoken with him a few times and saw him as a DJ at a friends wedding and he did an amazing job. He has a very competitive price and has a lot of experience. At our friends wedding, he was lively, played great music and would even lead dance moves to general songs in case guests didn't know how to do the dance (like the electric slide). Another thing I really liked is that he always has a back up computer with all of the music in case anything were to ever go wrong and he uses a little "DJ" board to mix up the music. He was a ton of fun and my FI and I are so excited that we have him booked.

Ceremony Music - Harpist
We have chosen an amazing harpist! She is just recently out of high school so her rates are almost half what others have given us. Her name is Emma Birkman and I teared up when I heard to play a few songs for us! Just beautiful. She does have experience with several weddings in the past and I am so glad we booked her!

Ceiling Decor & Chair Cover Rentals - Decki Decor
We did some research in our area and even went out and met with the people for Decki Decor and loved what they had. They are doing our ceiling decor, a back draping behind the head table and our chair covers. One thing that I really appreciated from them, was they gave us a military discount for the fact that my dad serves in the Air Force. That really impressed me that they would honor my father in that way.

Transportation - Total Luxury Limousine
We are so excited to have booked our Limo Coach with this company! We have only heard great things about their service and were recommended to them by a friend. We are getting a full wedding package with a red carpet rolled out and a just married sign on the back of of the limo coach. We chose a limo coach over just a limo for the space inside that it provided. It still looks like a limo on the inside, we will just be able to move around and be more comfortable in this vehicle. They offer great prices too! Their prices include tax and gratuity and they only had a 2 hour minimum which was exactly what we needed.

Photo Booth - Photoboxx
We booked with The Photoboxx for our photo booth. We got to go test out and see how the picture printed out. They are very high quality and they print out in about 10 seconds (so before you leave the booth). We were amazed with their pricing also. They quote people closer to $1,000, but for mentioning an add the had we got 50% off. This includes 4 hours of service, a large box of props, a memory book and endless amounts of prints. (so if a group of 5 people all wanted the same print, he will make it for them right then and there). It was great knowing that he won't charge any extra fees like travel or set up/tear down either! I can't wait to have this at our reception!

Hair & Make-up - Crystal Scott
I have a friend who will be doing my hair and make-up. Her name is Crystal Scott. She has her own business out of her home and has been doing hair and make up for years. I absolutely love how she has done my hair in the past and I know that she will do an amazing job on my wedding day with me and my girls.
Bridal and Bridesmaid Attire - Wedding Shoppe
I went dress shopping here and had a great experience finding the perfect dress. My consultant was amazing. She was friendly, helpful and knew exactly what I was envisioning. That was the best part of this place. The rest went down hill. When I went to pick up my wedding dress it was perfect! But they were very rude and pushed us out of there 5 minutes before they even closed. They had their arms crossed and were making comments about how we should have came in earlier (we came in at 5 and they closed at 6). Then as they rushed us downstairs to pay, they bagged up my dress and completely forgot to put the sash in the bag. The next morning when I called about it, they tried to tell me that they had put it in the bag, after a little bit of effort on their part they finally realized they did not pack it up and they did indeed leave it in the fitting room. Then I had my girls get their dresses from there and they were also rude to them in several ways. They would not let them try on any dresses unless I was with, which is hard since I am from out of town. Then when they sized them, they wanted to girls to go almost 3 sizes to big. We talked them into going down at least a size or two for some of the girls but it really was a hassle. I would have to say, I would NOT recommend going there. Yes you can save a few bucks going through them and they do have a large selection, but their customer service is not worth it to go there.
Cake - Keys Cafe
We had heard of some good recommendations for Key's Cafe and so my FI and I went for a consultation. We went to the Forest Lake location because that is where they have the cakes and our consultation/tasting went so well. They had created about 6 little cakes for us to try all of the different flavors. We loved all of the cakes but chose our top two and showed them the design ideas we had. It was great because they were able to keep us under our budget! We chose their strawberry marble cake and triple chocolate cake! They are so amazing and I cannot wait to see how the cake turns out the day of! I know it will turn out to be amazing!

She will be hand making my veil using my mothers tulle from her veil and lace from my mothers wedding dress. Then she will be doing all of the alterations to my wedding dress. I am really excited because when I met with her she had great ideas and her prices were very reasonable. I cannot wait to see how my dress and veil look when it is all finished!

Grooms and Groomsmen Attire - Savvi Formalware
We did some price comparisons and we found that in our area Savvi could give us the best deal. My FI and I have worked with them before for proms and they are always so accommodating so we chose our tuxes through them. their customer service over the phone and when we went in was great! They got everything set up for us with the perfect colors! Our guys are going to look amazing!

Hotel Accommodations - Americinn and Best Western
We have decided to set aside two sets of room blocks. Both hotels are within about 5 minutes of our reception hall and they both offer a shuttle for our guests if we get at least 10 rooms booked at each. T
