Wedding Referrals

February has been a busy planning month for brides-to-be. I recently filled my 2008 wedding season schedule (dates are still open in November & December). We are currently booking 2009 weddings. With summer weddings on my mind, I thought it would be fun to list some of my favorite wedding vendors. My referrals are wedding venders that I used for my own wedding or work with on a regular basic. They are all professional and passionate about what they do.

Wedding Day Attire

Miller’s Tuxedo

They did a great job with our tuxedos. They were extremely professional and make it easy and relaxed for my husband Andy and his groomsmen.

Florist & Decor

Wedding Day Beauty

Makin Waves Salon (if Richland is in a convenient location to your ceremony site)
814.266.9837
The stylists at Makin Waves are pros at up-dos for weddings and other formal occasions. Their large salon and staff will save you time on the wedding day. A little wedding day tip: make your wedding day appointment for the earliest time slot and allow extra time. It always takes longer that you expect.

Make up
Elena Lepley, Mary Kay Cosmetics
814.443.6571

Elana is a sweetheart. She can assist you in picking out natural color and glow and give you tips to make your skin look its best.

Country Delight 814.288.5372

Videographers
I will be honest; I am often relieved when my wedding couples tell me that they are not hiring a videographer. Sometimes we can get in each other’s way. It is really personal preference if you would like to have a professional wedding video or not. Here are two gentlemen that I work with regularly. I have learned to work with both Larry and Jim. We have mastered a way to both capture you special day. Make sure that you visit and see sample work from whom ever you hire for both video and photography.
