Ugh, I urgently need some help here... my in-laws are coming over on September 4th and the makeup artist I booked isn't picking up my calls or answering any of my texts. It’s starting to feel like I'm getting ghosted, and I'm honestly starting to panic. PLEASE, if you know anyone who does great makeup, send me their number. I'm getting pretty desperate at this point... I really hope everyone isn't already booked up for that date.

Hey everyone! Does anyone happen to have the number for that makeup artist, Dari? If you could shoot me a DM with it, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!😉😉

So, here’s the deal: when you're driving in from Michigan, just take a right before you hit the local farmers' market, and you'll see another shop right there on the right side. There are some stairs out front covered in random stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with weddings—think things like BBQ grills or trash cans—😕 but once you head inside, they have some truly wonderful items!

thanks!👋

Matthew Foster66 said:Just wanted to drop a quick tip here—this might be useful for someone! There’s this little boutique over in Kansas run by a lovely woman where you can find absolutely everything at incredible prices. For instance, those large satin bows they have? You can grab $6.75 10 pieces for a steal. And the decorative rose accents for cakes are just $0.83 a piece. They also carry ribbons, floral accents, and pretty much any other embellishment you could dream up. It is definitely worth making the trip!

bridezilla, please tell me the address of that shop if you can!!! thank you so much!👋

Jesse Morgan73 said:I wonder if there's any way to negotiate with them—like, instead of the brandy, could they provide something else? My grandparents produce about 400 liters of homemade brandy a year, so it feels a bit silly to pay for it here when they'll just be handing it over anyway...
And regarding those chair covers $3.25? I feel like that's a bit much and you could probably find a cheaper option, assuming they'd even allow me to rent them from somewhere else. If necessary, someone from my family could just come and put them on themselves 🙂. I'm also not entirely sure how the whole cover situation works, but I was actually looking for those heavy, wipeable ones for the chairs. Do they have those, or just the standard white covers? Maybe I'm being a bit tedious, but I don't know what to do when every little detail matters to me 😛.

I used their covers before and they do have the heavy-duty ones... As for the drinks, I honestly don't know, you'll have to ask the owner!

silentstag02 said:The second course is an extra $2, which means $5.00 if you bring your own roast. But even then, you gotta pay because they won't let you bring meat without a receipt. Otherwise, the second course is just their stew for $10 (they don't do cabbage rolls in the summer because they "don't have cabbage"—which is freaking pathetic!!!!! There's always cabbage available!!)

Rooms are $200 for singles and $350 for doubles. They don't give any bulk discounts and there are only 19 rooms total!!!

Oh man, sorry, silentstag02 is right. I messed up regarding the second dinner; I thought it was $2, but it's actually $10. I'm not bringing my own roast, so the price for the second dinner works fine for me.🙂

Jesse Morgan73 said:Hey everyone, I figured it was finally time for me to jump in here and join the conversation. My fiancé and I are planning to tie the knot next July—maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I just really want everything to be perfect. One major logistical headache is that my boyfriend is from Seattle, so I need to find a way to house all his guests. We’ve been looking at the banquet hall at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Seattle; it seems like our best bet because the venue is stunning and having the hotel right there makes it so much easier to tuck everyone away. I was wondering if anyone knows what the typical per-person rate is at the Hyatt, and specifically what’s included in that price? Or better yet, if anyone has experience booking large room blocks, do they actually offer any kind of discount or special rate? We’re looking at a guest list of about 250 to 300 people, so I guess I should also ask if the ballroom is spacious enough to handle a crowd that size without feeling cramped... hm. Anyway, that’s all for now. I’m really just at the very beginning of this whole process, and I’ll probably end up having a million more questions, but I suppose I should take things one step at a time.

I've got some firsthand info regarding the Grand Ballroom since I'm having my wedding there on September 4th. here's the deal:😛the first dinner is $30 per person, plus a second course which adds another $20, so it's basically $50 per person total, and that includes all the drinks—nothing extra. the couple gets their room for free as a gift, and guest rooms are cheaper than usual, though I'm not entirely sure, I think $100 doubles are $83 and singles are $1667, and breakfast is included too, if I remember correctly! the deposit is 🙂. hope that helps!!🙂p.s. if you have a specific date in mind, I'd suggest booking ASAP because they fill up fast! I booked last March for this coming September. also, the hall fits 350 people. if you have more questions, just ask!🙂 🙂

I really need some help here!!!! Does anyone happen to have a contact for Leon Productions? I’d be super grateful if you could share one. Also, maybe if someone knows what their pricing looks like or has actually worked with them before, let me know.

Joshua Brown2 said:I don't think they have any in Cleveland. As far as I know, the closest ones would be over in Pittsburgh.

I heard Isabelle's Salon used to carry Maggie Sotero, but I don't think they stock it anymore. Anyone else noticed?

Thanks for the heads up! I actually stopped by Isabelle Salon today and they told me they don't have Maggie Sotero in stock anymore... guess I'll have to make the trip out to Slavonian Brod instead.

e, yeah, I’ve got one more question. Does anyone know where I can find Maggie Sotero wedding dresses in Cleveland?😕

rapidfox42 said:I know there's a white limo available for rent in Indianapolis, but I'm not sure about the price. I can look into it for you if you want.

As for the light show, I know a guy from the Midwest who does it for maybe $1,500 up to $0.67. Not sure what his setup looks like, though. You might find him on Craigslist—just check the ads there!

Thanks for getting back to me!!! If you don't mind, could you please check on that limo and let me know? Only if it's not too much trouble!!😉

help!!! does anyone know where I can rent a limo in Chicago or somewhere nearby? I checked out those luxury rentals over by the suburbs, but they’re way out of my budget. I was wondering if there are any other options out there? I heard someone in the outskirts offers wedding limo services too. Also, quick question—does anyone know where I can book a light show? Ideally, I'd rather not go through a big production company like Disney because they're just too expensive. Thanks in advance for the help!!!🙂

Justin Martinez3 said:I don't have an exact number for a telephoto zoom, but I'm pretty sure it won't top $6,000—unless everyone else is lying, in which case I'm clearly a liar too. 🤷

I stopped by Zoom about two weeks ago because I'm looking for a photographer for September. They mentioned they have some kind of basic package $1167. I didn't bother asking what's actually included since they're already booked up during my dates anyway. Could someone please help me out and tell me what Bridget's studio in Savannah is like?
