Final Vendor Reviews!!
Coldstone - our ice cream cake!
I will be honest I was a little nervous to use Coldstone for our wedding cake. I know they are good at what they do but often it's a birthday party, not someones wedding. The communication with them was a little difficult - I could never seem to get an email address for an account that anyone checked so my emails often went unanswered. The week of the wedding I had a final call with the baker and we hammered out some details. I was a little nervous because she really wanted me to tell her what to do. I figured as a baker she would know what would work and what wouldn't.
In the end, everything turned out great. They had to deliver the cake while guest were having dinner otherwise it would have been out of the freezer for to long. The came in the back and got everything set up very quietly. Overall the decorations on the cake were good. The taste AMAZING! Our guest all loved it! We have some leftover in the freezer now and we are enjoying the heck out of it.
In the end, Coldstone did an amazing job on our wedding cake. It arrived, looked nice, tasted great and it was a neat and sweet treat for us and for our guest.

MyDJKJ - our DJ and MC for the evening!
Craig did a great job! I honestly don't know what else to say. He was professional, fun and kept the party going. Our guest seemed to really have a blast (pictures below)!! We were told by friends and family we had the best wedding they have been to in a long time and the first time they have danced in years. We were so happy to hear it!
Courtyard Marriott - reception location
More to come soon . .
Reception meal
For our reception we choice to serve a plated beef or chicken option. Guest were asked to select their meal choice on their RSVP and then had a place card at their seat with a colored rhinestone indicating their meal choice.
Guest chose from Chicken Danielle (below) or Beef Scallopini (right). The pictures were taken during our meal tasting. We decided to serve each with baby carrots instead of the veggie pictured, we just aren't fans. Both meals were amazing the day of the tasting and reception! Serving size was huge as well! |
Serendipity Photography
We were very happy with Rachel and her assistant the day of the wedding. They were willing to work for us and do what we asked. We took 1000's of photos in several locations. It was great! Getting all the photos on a disc has been wonderful for us. It has allowed us to make prints for ourselves and our family.
So happy to have all the wonderful wedding photos that we do!

Riversong Spa (hair and make-up the day of the wedding)
I was very pleased with Riversong Spa. They gave us full run of the salon and it was a great place to relax and get ready that morning. They allowed us to bring in snacks and drinks that morning and had space for our entire group to be all together!
My hair, I thought, looked great and didn't fall all day even though it was one of the hottest days of the year!

Busch's Florist - Jefferson City
I was mostly happy with our flowers from Busch's. I guess I had expected a little more perhaps but in the end they were a good price, the flowers lasted all day and they looked nice. I was a little unhappy with the boys bouts but again they worked. I just thought they were a little too simple and had expected a little more for the price.
