John Ruiz80 said:Guys, help—I got totally sidetracked by some outside stuff 🙂 but I'm finally back in the game... though my options feel way more limited now... I stopped by the Meadow convention center recently and the place is gorgeous. Has anyone been there lately? How’s the food? And what’s the layout like for a reception—is the florist coming from one of those big hotels?? Also, does anyone know if they have openings on 9/11 or 9/18 for up to 120 people...
Also, I need a solid DJ who can actually handle mixing a bunch of different styles without crashing and burning!!
Or maybe just a decent, budget-friendly band 🙂 nothing crazy, I'm keeping it modest 😉
Sinclair, Lisijak... send me their info and rates... also looking for photo recs... Thanks everyone... Can't wait to get this whole thing sorted...
As far as photographers go, I personally really loved the work from Getty Images out of Makarska (I saw them at the expo, and a few of my friends have raved about them too; he seems like one of those guys who just genuinely loves photography and isn't just out to grab a quick buck), and the shots are just incredible—the edits are super unique compared to everyone else, the albums aren't overly bulky but they're substantial with all sorts of different shot formats, and it feels like he treats every single wedding as its own unique story...
At the expo, he was performing with a crew called EVERYTHING FOR THE WEDDING, so they might be able to point you toward catering, music, lighting, dresses, ... I don't even know what else they cover.
...oh, I almost forgot, I heard someone mention DJ Spen is supposed to be really good.
