Olivia Lee5 said:Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking in this PDF thread for quite a while now without saying much, but I figured it was finally time to jump in because I could really use some collective wisdom. A close friend of mine is getting married next September, and since she’s trying to be proactive about booking the venue, photographer, and band a full year in advance, we’re officially in planning mode. For the venue, she’s settled on Dell in Durham. She hasn't picked a photographer or a band yet, so I was hoping you all might have some recommendations for reliable groups or studios that haven't received any complaints here... Regarding photography, I know people have mentioned liking Dalmacia and IBM, but does anyone know of other solid options within a $1,500 budget? (Nothing like photo Mark 😢 ). Also, if you have a specific recommendation for a photographer or videographer at one of those studios, please let me know!
As for the band—they are looking for a group that can play both American and international rock. They want a sound that isn't too "foreign" or niche, but they also want to be able to play some classic American hits (just nothing too cheesy like Elvis Presley, Lopez, Joel, or similar stuff)
Thanks so much for the help... 😍

Anyone know where else besides Victoria's Secret in San Francisco and the surrounding area I can find a Tiffany & Co. wedding dress? Specifically looking for a Gap gown, but they only sell them, right? No rentals?

Can someone DM me the number for a makeup artist in San Francisco? Ideally someone local who uses high-end products.

Nice work on this "brief report," John Ruiz80

You helped me out a ton, so a huge thanks to you

I actually attended a party out there back in February, and honestly, where do I even start? I have to give them massive credit because everything from the food to the servers to the venue itself was absolutely spot on.👍👍🙏
Plus, you've still got Amigos right there in the outskirts, too.

Maybe.. haven't checked them out yet, or either of those two halls.. heard Diocletian is kind of old school though.. apparently they've got these pillars right in the middle that get in the way... people say all sorts of things.. guess I'll go check it out first.. thanks for the tip 😉)

David King72 said:All I can tell you is that the location is absolutely stunning, but as for the actual food quality or how the staff treats you? I’m completely in the dark. How many people are you planning to bring along anyway?

For 100 people

Anyone got the scoop on the Neva hotel?
Need the lowdown on the food, the rooms, and the staff.

Anyone here actually used the event space at the Hotel Nevada out in Nevada? Looking at the photos, the hall seems decent enough and they've got a pool too... but browsing through posts from the last year, I haven't seen anyone mention hosting a party there.

I booked them myself... they're awesome... plus the price is killer. It's just $1,500 for the whole five-piece band, which includes drinks and even the former VIVE singer

Anyone got a recommendation for The Beach Boys? I actually booked them for $1,500 once—they were only $500 at the time—and they'll play whatever you want...

Hey, just another newbie here..
So, I'm looking to get married pretty soon—thinking maybe six months from now, sometime in 2010. My fiancé should be back from his ship contract, though we don't have an exact date yet. Since we’re running into issues trying to book a venue at the last minute, we actually decided to just rent a boat for the wedding instead.
Right now, we're looking at about 100 guests, but finding a boat big enough is proving to be a headache. Then there's the catering situation; from what I hear, renting the boat doesn't include any food, so I'm assuming we'll need to hire a full catering service for the whole menu. I'm really curious about how much all of this actually costs... if anyone knows anything, please reach out. Any info at all would be a lifesaver..
Thanks in advance🙏🙏🙏
