Real Wedding Review π Taylor + Austin
WOW-- where do I begin with this one?! From start to finish, this has been the vendor that we were most impressed with. Looking for and booking a venue for your wedding day can be a little daunting ("Is this the right place for my vision?" "What questions should I be asking?" "How will I set up and tear down dΓ©cor?" Etc. ). Kelli at the Court Above Main makes the process SO easy! From the moment we toured the venue, right up until the wedding day, she was in constant contact with us, often with comfort and answers to questions we didn't even know we had. Her care and consideration made the stress of planning so much easier. From taking care of set up/tear down for you, to reaching out to the vendors for set up times, to bringing your dress up to the bridal suite, to making sure you stick to your timeline-- the staff takes care of it all so you can just sit back and enjoy your special day. There were often times where I would ask, "Am I supposed to be doing something?" because they are THAT good! We were even a little sad after the wedding because that would mean we would have to say goodbye to Kelli and the venue. We would recommend this venue to ANYONE!
When I went into my bridal appointment, I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for in a dress. Mel at the Wedding Tree started the appointment by asking me questions about myself and what my vision for the day looked like. Based on my answers, she picked out a few dresses that she thought suited me and my dΓ©cor ideas. The very first dress she brought to me ended up being "the one"! I was so shocked that she knew exactly what I wanted when I didn't even know. It was that interest in me and attention to detail that made me decide to get the rest of our wedding outfits from there. Everyone that we brought in-- from groomsmen to mothers to bridesmaids-- all said similar things about their experiences! When the color I was thinking about clashed with my bridesmaids' skin tones, we were shown a color that looked beautiful on everyone and we loved even more. When my mother had a preference about the style of dress she wanted, we were immediately given one of that style to try on (she ended up going with that very first dress as well!). The ladies at The Wedding Tree are truly so good at what they do-- they really are there to help you look and feel your best!!
My husband and I aren't big cake people, so we were a little lost when it came to the bakery. We heard a lot of great things about Meringue Bakery, so we decided to reach out to them, and we are glad we did. Jen at Meringue Bakery is awesome! She was so kind and helpful. She was extremely attentive to detail and made sure we had exactly what we wanted. If there was anything that we were unsure of in terms of designs, she always offered her expertise and it turned out amazing. We ended up getting a variety of cupcakes, and I'm not kidding when I say they were almost too pretty to eat. The more unique flavors were the biggest hit among our guests, so if you're looking for something besides plain chocolate or vanilla, this is the place for you.
