Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

My folks went there recently—they mentioned the food was actually top-notch 🙂. It was a buffet-style setup...

So, I’ve reached out to Ana Coric several times now—tried both email and text—but she hasn't bothered to get back to me even once. 👎

🤔 Hmm... she actually got back to me within a day or two, but it was through Facebook... 🤷
Maybe try messaging her there instead? Or, if you happen to be in Indianapolis, you could always just drop by her studio in person!

I don't know... I honestly feel a bit ridiculous even reaching out to her at this point. It's not like I'm from Indianapolis or anything. But has anyone here actually heard of Darij, that makeup artist over on VK? Does she do good work?

I stumbled upon this today—take a look if you want. I haven't heard a single thing about this makeup artist, though maybe someone here has some firsthand experience? Her name is Ivana Maric, right?🤷

Thanks!👍

Hey everyone... quick question. Does anyone know a decent makeup artist? Looking for someone talented who won't completely drain my bank account. Thanks!

Ryan Parker38 said:I’m still on the hunt for a makeup artist, but so far, nothing. It seems like all the talented girls in Indianapolis are already booked up through 😢 and there isn't anyone worth my time in Warsaw

Is Auntie Cherry some kind of idiot from Indianapolis? The woman is incredible—she does makeup for theater premieres... if you actually want her info, I can send it over.

Anyone ever picked up jewelry in Orašje or maybe somewhere else over in Canada?

I was checking out prices over in a town like Orašje, and honestly, I guess they aren't even that much different from what we see here at home!

Has anyone here actually used the venue over in Đeram, near Tokyo? I’m curious about the experience—their rates are suspiciously low compared to everyone else, so what's the catch? Is it actually possible that these places just can't compete with the big-name spots? Or maybe I should just look into other venues that cater to smaller groups, say around 170–180 people?

Hey, does anyone have any leads on where I can pick up some weed around St. Louis? Looking for some info on the best spots or maybe somewhere with decent prices... thanks in advance!
btw, this forum has been a lifesaver since I'm staying in Miami right now while we plan this huge wedding out in the Midwest. Having all this info makes everything way easier to figure out 🙂

Hey jadeskipper85, I’ve actually got a wedding coming up this September at that venue over in Dayton. Honestly, all I’ve heard about the place—from the staff to the food—has been nothing but good. I have no clue how their prices stay so low, but man, I just really hope everything goes smoothly. You should check out their photos on Facebook if you want a better look. From what I gather, the space tops out at maybe 120 people.

Aww, thanks for the heads-up! I reached out to them today and did a little digging online; apparently, they can hold up to 230 people. My guest list is sitting at 160 total, but since we had to invite everyone, I'm assuming at least 20 won't make it, so I'm looking at closer to 140... She also mentioned they work with those highly recommended florists nearby. Could you please PM me the details on what you arranged and how much it ended up costing? I’m planning to head over there in the next few days to see everything in person... and I honestly can't wait to hear how yours turns out!🙂))))))🙂

I was hitting up the aisles yesterday and scored some bows for like $2 for a pack of 10, aluminum trays for a buck, and those sturdy plastic cups—you get 50 in a pack $6.75. I also grabbed the little shot glasses and the bigger ones for soda, plus cookie boxes for about a dollar, and a 100-pack of balloons $6.75. Picked up some forks too, and rolls of organza fabric—10 yards per roll $10 (I went with green). Around here, 10 yards runs you about $22. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s definitely worth the trip!

Which big-box store were you at?

Has anyone here actually worked with Focus in Zupanje? I’ve been scouring the entire Forum, but I can't seem to find anything concrete.

Maybe there's a reason for that... 🤷
I don't have first-hand experience, but I haven't heard anything good about them.

You can find all the plastic stuff—cups, plates, cookie boxes, whatever—only at Hall 15! But those balloon bows? You can find them pretty much anywhere, and they cost the exact same thing.

Hey, where exactly are you heading? Which arena are you at? You forgot to mention the venue!
