Oh my goodness this was the best day of my life! I married my best friend here on March 20th 2023…read moreand it was the most beautiful, amazing, experience I've ever had. I'm in the hospitality industry and I've worked hundreds of banquets and weddings so I know what to look for when it comes to service. Michelle Hart made our lives soooooooop much easier. I love that woman! My husband and I were originally going to have a backyard wedding, but became very stressful so we decided to look into affordable venues that can accommodate 100 people with 2 months notice. With the packages offered by the antique wedding house, it made our planning so easy. The value is outstanding. We went with the Isabella package for 100 people and it was approx $7000 on a Monday. all inclusive. Dj, photographer, Photo Booth, catering, 3tier cake, dressing room's, event coordinator, everything! We absolutely made the right decision when choosing antique wedding house as the venue for our wedding. They took care of everything. EVERYTHING ! Michelle, the coordinator and lady in charge, was very kind, patient, and easy to work with. She answered every question, was very helpful in helping make decisions, and also allowed us to choose and customize what we wanted with no hesitation. For example, we purchased the Isabella package and it includes an officiant for the ceremony. My husband and I wanted my mother and his friend to officiate us together. No problem! Michelle made planning our wedding so easy. It's like a one stop shop. Michelle literally helped us plan almost everything in less than an hour. Come wedding day, everything was stunning! The staff was very accommodating, and pleasurable. The food was amazing. Our Dj, Emmett with Direct Sounds DJs, was Awesome!Our photographer... Dorrell Edwards with Always Timeless Weddings, well.... All I can say is that This guy. The bartender, Ruben, was on point, friendly, and professional. Dennis and jessica with Goof Booth photo booths, were very very awesome and kind. The banquet captain, Eric, was super sweet and I really appreciate everything he did to make our night perfect. The cake... let me tell you that the cake is the absolute BEST wedding cake I have EVER had. And being in the industry, I've tried a lot of wedding cake. It was 3 tiered with 3 different flavors and icings. We did red velvet with cream cheese icing, strawberry with mango icing, and butter rum with butter cream icing. So freaking good!!!! And it was beautiful. All and all the antique wedding house has my 110% satisfaction. They offer an officiant but we went with our own.

Amy was fully invested in making sure our day was special, organized and most importantly, personal. We wanted our ceremony to feel intimate and customized to reflect our personalities and connection, and Amy was able to do that with ease. She was able to capture the details of our love story impeccably. The communication and planning process was a breeze. Her suggestions were on point, yet flexible, and I couldn't be any more grateful to have her as part of our day. Amy recommended a "first look" before the ceremony to get the nervousness out - thank goodness we did this!! Thank you, Amy!!! Here's to finding a nugget of gold.

I can't say enough good things about Laura and Laura's Events and Weddings Unleashed. Having her as…read morea planner has taken a lot of the stress and guesswork out of planning my (wedding) vow renewal. She practically pays for herself! I'm having a themed event and she's been able to keep me within scope AND budget. If you've never planned a wedding, you'll want the Expert aka Laura. She's already been able to find me an excellent photographer with a substantial discount, recommended the best venue, was able to all the questions I wouldn't have known to ask of both the church and reception venue, and thoroughly reviews contracts before you sign. From working with her, it's evident just how experienced she is. You get so much more than a planner: you get to see your dreams become a reality. She's professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and promptly answers texts, phone calls, and emails. She's also honest, which you need when you're spending so much money on a big event. You don't want someone who always says "Yes" to you all of the time. I sincerely appreciate her candor and integrity. I found Laura at one of the bridal shows; she was the only wedding planner there. I came home with an incredibly detailed list of what she offered with her various packages. I still Googled other planners, but she was the only one with 5 star reviews ACROSS the board. Other planners weren't as detailed as she is on their Web sites, which made me hesitant to even contact them. She's not of the cheapest options, and she readily admits that but she's probably the best bang for your buck. You can do your wedding wrong (which I did the first time because we didn't have a planner) or do it with Laura (which is the right way to do it).

Pamela was great! She officiated our wedding this past March at the Desert Botanical Gardens in…read morePhoenix. She made the process of crafting a ceremony feel easy. She was very flexible and supportive of our ideas and suggestions and we're very happy with how everything turned out. I especially appreciated Pamela's professionalism at the rehearsal; it's clear she has a lot of experience doing this. She was able to cut through the chaos of the lead up to our wedding and get everyone focused on learning their part in the ceremony. I felt very reassured that she knew what she was doing - which is a great feeling when you're standing in front of everyone getting married! 5/5, great experience. Thanks, Pam!

Her combination of wit and sincerity won us over, and she provided us with many ideas to help us shape our ceremony in a way that felt authentic for us. She was easy to reach via email and by phone during the planning process, and offered lots of good advice for choosing our vows and braiding our handfasting cord. It was important to us include our parents in our ceremony and we wanted to keep our "repeat-after-me" vows simple. Pam was able to bring all our ideas together into a ceremony that was sweet and silly (just like us) and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Her love of marrying couples is so sweet and she's a joy to be around. Her guidance through the entire process was essential and we can't imagine a more perfect day.

Several team members also stopped by the dressing room to offer valuable feedback, along with helpful tips and tricks for wearing and styling the dresses. Everyone genuinely seemed invested in making sure we found the right fit and felt comfortable with our choices. The David's Bridal Arrowhead team was amazing from start to finish!

When I ended up canceling that dress because of a comment my fiancé made, she didn't hesitate to help me find another one.

I found Bird of Paradise Weddings (and specifically the officiant, Montana Meadows) after a quick…read moreGoogle search. I'm surprised Montana doesn't have any Yelp reviews yet... because SHE IS WONDERFUL. My husband and I eloped in Phoenix in January 2014, and we hired Montana to officiate our "ceremony." (She called it a sign-and-file, because it was a very short ceremony!) She was courteous, professional, and friendly. Our sign-and-file consisted of a sweet intro from Montana, a reading, ring exchange, "I do's," and of course the kiss. We are not religious at all, so it was very nice to have an officiant who respected our preferences and ideas. Montana was 100% willing to customize her officiant duties to suit our needs. I think that is very important for anyone looking for a personalized, distinctive ceremony. I should have written up a Yelp review ages ago, but I was reminded to do so again after-- get this!-- we received an anniversary card from Montana! It was a personal note, thoughtful and handwritten... an excellent move on her part, and so special for us to be reminded of how much fun our day was, thanks in part to Montana Meadows and Bird of Paradise Weddings! I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking to get hitched in AZ!

I wish I had attended a wedding she officiated before hiring her for mine. My venue had her listed…read moreas a preferred option and said she was good. I spoke to a friend, and he said she married him and he was happy enough with her services, so we went with her. My fiancé and I met with her, and she asked maybe 6 questions about us, and said she would write our ceremony and send us a copy to review. When we got the copy, I thought it was a joke. When I realized this wasn't sent in error, I felt physically ill. It wasn't personalized to reflect us or our relationship at all, the flow was horrible, and I believe it was a cut and paste job from a few internet sources. We opted to write our own ceremony, which was heartfelt and definitely represented us and our personalities. I was hesitant to send it and ask that it be used instead of what was written for us, but Montana agreed to read it for us. Fast forward to our wedding day. Montana showed up and appeared to be irritated. She asked where the marriage license was and asked if the money was in the envelope. She asks for a $100 deposit, but wants the rest paid in cash on the wedding day. I can only assume this is to avoid taxes on the other $200+ we paid. I can't come up with any other logical reason cash payment would be mandatory. During the ceremony, Montana told me I was standing in the wrong spot, even though venue staff told me which side of the altar to stand on. During the ceremony, I couldn't listen to what was being said. It wasn't because I was worried I was going to get emotional. It was because she was reading it like she was reading a children's story. Crazy inflection every few words. I had several guests comment about it after the wedding, and it wasn't to say that it was well done. When the ceremony was over, she quickly left. When we got our wedding photos, I discovered that in every single photo, she had RBF. She looked like someone made her drink a cup of lemon juice. I don't know if the attitude is typical, she was having a bad day, was unhappy with the little bit of humor in our ceremony, or was not happy to do a same sex wedding (which she previously said she was fine with). Whatever the issue, I regret going with Montana, as it caused some unnecessary tension on our wedding day. I should have gone with my gut from the beginning. Lesson learned.

Especially after reading his reviews/website I felt we shared a very similar outlook. We first started off with a Zoom call and immediately we loved his kind, warm, outgoing, funny personality. We could tell he not only was a professional and confident in what he does, but he is a great listener and treats each couple with personal/individual attention. He offers premarital counseling; which I recommend taking advantage off! We met with him a few weeks before the wedding, and he spoke with us about what can support a long lasting marriage...inviting us into conversations that that my partner hadn't touched on. This was incredibly valuable as we listened to each other and Jack, we got to see new perspectives. He has an incredible energy that makes you feel like you've been friends for years. On the actual wedding day Jack couldn't have been any more perfect. He has a way of putting you at ease. My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with him there supporting us at the altar. He takes great care in curating a personalized ceremony that was reflective of how we met, what makes our relationship work, our values, and the love for our friends and family. The ceremony was beautiful, at times funny, deeply moving, and captured very bit of my husband and I. Sharing our love story and drawing in each guest there. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE raved about Jack and they asked who he was because he spoke as if he knew us for years. The ceremony was breathtaking and there wasn't a dry eye. I credit Jack to putting this all together, taking the time to get to know us, and creating an experience we'll deeply treasure in our lives forever. After the wedding day, he sent us the script of our ceremony to have as a beautiful keepsake memory!! Jack, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day the best day ever and for calming our nerves. Thank you for being the best officiant!!! Heather & Tim
