or is someone actually gonna show up just for me and my bestie?...

Rose Valentine! Highly recommended!! She came right to my house and handled just the three of us!! Her work was absolutely flawless!

Andrew James2 said:Does anyone have any firsthand impressions of the Kelbas photo studio? I believe they’re based out of Dakov. I'm curious to know how satisfied people generally are with their work, and whether there's anything specific one needs to arrange beforehand, or if he just knows his craft—I noticed he seems relatively new to the scene.

He recently photographed my wedding party, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shots themselves are stunning, and the album layout is executed perfectly. Since I wasn't behind the camera myself, I can't speak to the actual filming process, but as far as the photography goes—truly impressive work. I would certainly recommend him. 🙂

mellowridge7 said:To all the lovely brides-to-be out there... I see you're discussing wedding invitations. I actually ended up DIY-ing about 100 of them myself for roughly $100... if anyone wants to see what they look like, just shoot me a DM and I can send over a photo. Otherwise, you'll find that a single invitation of that style usually runs anywhere from 12 to $5.75 dollars—it really just depends on where you shop. If you're looking for cardstock, there's a Zebra in Indianapolis that has plenty of options; that's where I picked up my supplies
.
I also have a quick question for the group: I'm planning to rent some lighting for the reception, and I was wondering if anyone here has worked with KPMG Lighting out of Columbus?

Could you please send a photo my way via private message? Thanks! 🙂

Kevin Smith7 said:Does anyone know where I might be able to find small glass bottles, maybe around 40ml, with cork stoppers for some homemade spirits? I’m really looking for something a bit more high-end than just repurposed juice bottles.

Thanks!

Have you checked the local farmers market? There’s a little shop there specializing in decorative glassware. I actually picked up some larger 24oz bottles for my own spirits there once, though I suspect they might carry smaller sizes as well.

shadowfox62 said:I have a bit of a question for you all... now, I’m not the one walking down the aisle, but I am serving as the Maid of Honor... maybe this should have gone in a different thread, but since I see some folks here from the Midwest, I figured I'd reach out to see what kind of advice you might have regarding local traditions? It’s all a bit foreign to me—honestly, I feel like I have no clue what my actual duties are or what the "unspoken" rules might be. I was told it’s standard for the Maid of Honor to bring the wedding cake, so I’ve already placed that order, and I picked out a gift based on what the couple specifically asked for... but is that really it? Are there other obligations I'm missing? Well, obviously being by her side all day is a given—I know that part—and I did tell the bride to just let me know if she needs anything, to which she just replied, "Everything is fine, don't worry about a thing!" But truly, I want to do this properly and follow all the right etiquette because they are both such dear friends of mine. I've seen some people mention that sometimes the wedding party covers the church fees—is that a common tradition here in the States too, or am I overthinking things? And what else? Oh, right! Someone mentioned providing a basket of baking supplies for the festivities... I think I'll ask the bride what exactly she needs for that. Is there anything else I should have on my radar?

In our neck of the woods, the tradition is often for the Best Man to handle certain wedding costs, while the Maid of Honor brings the cake and the baking kit (though, honestly, most people don't bake from scratch at home much anymore). You should probably check with the bride regarding specific family traditions, as customs can vary quite a bit from one region to another! But I suspect you've covered the basics. 🙂 I hope that helps even a little!

Does anyone have a recommendation for catering services in Columbus? I am looking for a company that handles everything—essentially providing a full setup so the guest reception feels completely seamless at home.

You might want to take a look at this... Wedding packages plus the Crystal banquet halls (there are two in Indianapolis and two in Belišće)...
As for suits for your partner—check out Harkanje over at the local market (they run about 500-$200).. I suppose I could send you photos of two different suits if you think that would be helpful..

I hope this helps you out even just a little bit 🙂

Would you be so kind as to send me some photos of that suit via private message? My clients are getting married this October, so we are officially on the hunt, and since Harkanj isn't exactly a cross-country trek away, it seems like a practical option. Thank you.

Has anyone here actually hired a DJ for a wedding before? I'm curious about what the overall vibe tends to be like and what kind of price range we should realistically expect to see? Thanks

That sounds perfect!! Just shoot me a DM with the time and location whenever you can. Thanks so much 🙂))) and best of luck with everything! 🙏

Hi everyone, has anyone here dealt with a bonus ban before? Also, I was browsing through some photos from Kelley Studio—if anyone has firsthand experience working with them, I would truly appreciate any insight you could share. Thanks! 🙂
