I hold the owners of this "business" completely responsible for ruining what was supposed to be a…read morespecial day. To start with I was told that there would be handicapped accessible bathrooms available and there was not. I had family members that were not able to stay because they were not able to access a bathroom. We were told there is plenty of power to run the roasters and what not throughout the evening. That was not the case at all. After having to agree to pay $100 to have fans put up to use, they couldn't be turned on because it blew all the breakers. Now on to your $1000 damage deposit. While I do understand the reason for having that deposit, what you have considered damage is absolutely ridiculous. A few kids picked some flowers and that gives you the right to say that we now owe you a certain amount of money. I think not! And to think you can charge me because of said handicapped family needing to pull closer (on a driveway that was already there) is just wrong. I hope you never have family that needs a little closer drop off somewhere and are told sorry we're gonna charge you $500 to do so. Then to even consider that, in the men's bathroom there was people purposely peeing on the walls! That is just plain absurd! What else is there, oh yes the Adirondack chairs that you claim were destroyed because of being moved around. Then why do you even have the chairs if you expect them to never be moved? You have also claimed that there were rocks that were destroyed. They are rocks and you seem to think that they are worth a couple hundred dollars, are out of your mind. Lastly and even more important than the handicapped accessible parking and restrooms was the fact that you actually saw no problem with getting into altercations with our family and guests! I hope that at some point you have to deal with the embarrassment that you caused me and my husband. If this is to be your business, I promise to make it my goal to see that you have no business!

I've posted a picture so anyone that may be considering this florist can judge for themselves... If I could give zero stars, I would. I was leery about purchasing flowers over the internet so I called to request they add a pop of color to the flower bouquet I'd chosen from their website. The person that answered the phone and took my order failed to listen to my request and the person putting the flower arrangement together had to be having a an utterly miserable day, as the results of their efforts were sad! I hope when the owners of Designer's Florist by Sekan read this and see the picture of what they passed off as a $71.11 flower bouquet they're embarrassed. When I expressed my disappointment they responded with the following, I'm sorry. There were no roses and gerbs in the picture. Spray roses are $4 and gerbs are $5 each. I used the bright Lily which is $7 , 5 daisys/ poms, green, yellow and white, trich $3.50 each, 4 hot pink carnations $2 each, vase and assorted greens. When you mentioned what you wanted in it, I thought we had changed recipes and you wanted it bright. I apologize for not doing it more like the picture. I tried to incorporate what you mentioned and make it bright at the same time. I guess I didn't Look at this as bright. We can pick it up and redo it if that is what you would like.... Really??? Pick it up and redo it... AFTER I'd already told the person taking the order I was ordering this for my daughters BIRTHDAY!!

The Vow Exchange though, is an awesome idea and probably perfect for a lot of different situations. We're not looking for a cavernous venue and the fact that The Vow Exchange holds no more than 28 guests (wedding party not included) is actually helpful. We're not feeling obligated to invite everyone we've ever met and actually have a reason why we can't. They have a several options ranging from just the space for an hour to the space, flowers, drinks, a photographer, and an officiant. Prices range from $200 to $1000. The interior is somewhat shabby chic with exposed brick and rough hewn beams, comfortable chairs and benches and wrought iron decor. There's a large overhead door that (I assume) can be opened if the weather permits. Our wedding is scheduled for May - we'll let you know how it goes and update this review then!

If you are planning a wedding, read this FIRST!…read more I am a high functioning OCD type of person, and when we decided to get married with only 2 and a 1/2 months notice I went into overdrive planning. We identified a location and starting tasking friends and contacting vendors within a week, but I quickly started to get overwhelmed with the amount of effort. I was trying to juggling working full time, traveling for work and planning a wedding with next to no notice when my best friend begged me to find a day-of wedding coordinator. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me out and was sad to see the lack of reviews for wedding vendors. However, I did find one review for Buffee Ann and saw I could contact her for a quote. She quickly replied and when I decided not to move forward was sweet in her response to my poor life choices. Only a few days later I changed my mind and she encouraged me to skype with her before making another bad decision. I am so glad I did! From the start Buffee was energetic and encouraging while also allowing my strong personality to dictate as much as I could of the planning process. I have to say at the end of the day, hiring Buffee to help me out was the BEST IDEA EVER! If you're planning a wedding, get help from the very start. Buffee offered suggestions for vendors after we ran into challenges with a few of ours, and we realized she would have been a savior if we had used her from day 1. She worked with our bartending service to help resolve a difficult issue and found me someone to help with my hair (which received numerous compliments). Buffee even offered to add some much needed make-up to my very ungirly self. To say she was a fairy godmother would be an understatement. If you're looking for help with planning anything, go no further. Buffee Ann will take care of you, be your cheerleader, and provide excellent suggestions for local vendors.

But finding Buffee and Magical Moments was a huge stroke of luck. She helped us figure out exactly what we want. It was the perfect mix of making sure we got the wedding that we specifically wanted but she also knew when we were unsure about something and she always pushed us in the right direction. We both really cannot say enough good things about Buffee. She made our wedding, something both of us always dreamed of but figured we could never have, the most amazing day of our lives. We're an LGBT couple and especially living in the midwest you never really know how people are going to be or if they'll even want to help you, but Buffee and Magical Moments made our wedding seem so important to them and made sure we found the vendors who would best serve our needs. If anyone ever asks me for advice on wedding planning I'm sending them to Magical Moments immediately.

Jenni was an absolute pleasure to work with, and all of the flowers for my wedding were astounding!…read moreI came to her with very little knowledge on flower names or what I wanted, and she helped me come up with ideas and narrow it down. My choices tend to be eclectic, but she pulled it all off spectacularly. I couldn't have been happier! Planning the flowers with her ended up being one of my favorite parts of the planning process. Jenni was also a total champ for responding quickly to my myriad of questions and ideas. Delivery and set up went perfectly smooth as well. All around the best!!

We also changed our minds many times over. Notwithstanding the challenges we presented her, she and her team delivered a beautiful product with minimal direction and on a flexible, understanding schedule. Our tables and chuppah looked lovely, and she arranged to have the flowers donated after the wedding, giving them a second life. Her ability to interpret what we were asking for, turn it into a lovely product, manage costs, and do all this such that we didn't worry about having to manage the process made this part of wedding-planning so much easier. We definitely recommend working with Jenni and her team!

I can't recommend Decemeber from Soirée Event Designs high enough! We were planning our wedding…read moreceremony and events on our own up until a month and a half prior to the date. As the date became closer, we started to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the details. I received Decemeber's information from a friend, and from our first interaction, she was a true professional! Because we were less than two months from our wedding, Decemeber moved to schedule our face-to-face meeting quickly. The introduction discussion was well organized and she walked me through all of our vendor details, wedding party, must-haves, etc. My fiancé and I thought we had covered all our bases, but it was obvious after our discussion that there were many other details we needed to address. Decemeber made this feel like a breeze, and immediately helped wrap up finishing touches and assembled a "day-of" timeline. She began coordinating directly with our vendors, to eliminate the stress from the groom and me. Because of all the work Soirée did up front, the day of our wedding was well executed, relaxed and most importantly fun! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about who needed to be where and when. Decemeber had all of this outlined for us. She even found a new hairstylist two weeks before the wedding, after I decided to make a last minute change! From the first phone call with Decemeber to giving her a hug at the end of our wedding reception, she made wedding planning a stress-free process and our day was executed to perfection! (And if there was a hiccup, she handled it and we never knew) On top of her professionalism, Decemeber is a joy to work with to plan a major event.

Warning: LONG review. I truly cannot say enough good things!…read more Michael did a wonderful job coordinating, planning and DJing my April 2014 wedding reception. Yes, he played music, but even more, he performed the role as our reception coordinator. Like many brides, I originally thought that I needed to hire someone who could just play music. After seeing many positive reviews of Michael's services online, my fiance' Justin and I met with him in person. During our meeting, we realized that Michael was the real deal and that we needed to work with him. Michael explained how he would do much more than just play music -- he would help with planning the reception events with us, he would routinely meet with us throughout the whole planning process, he'd make sure the flow of the entire event made sense, etc. And he did exactly that! We Skyped with Michael on one occasion and also met in person on a few occasions. We also met at our reception site with Michael so he could plan out the event details, the location of the grand entrance, etc. Throughout our planning, Michael also was very prompt to respond via email whenever I reached out with questions, ideas and concerns. Michael told us time and time again that our job as the couple was to just enjoy our reception; his job was to make sure that it ran smoothly. And Michael kept that promise. Justin and I danced, mingled, enjoyed our food, and had a wonderful time at our reception. We never had any question about what's next, where do we go, aren't we supposed to cut the cake at some point? When we needed to perform a specific task at our reception, Michael found us and briefly gave us a reminder. On the music side of things, our dance floor was crowded the entire night. Of course as the bride and groom, we were busy talking with so many people, so we were not on the dance floor too much. Following up with one of the bridesmaids next day, she said, "I was on the dance floor the whole night!" Michael's planning and organization services combined with his DJ expertise was worth every penny. I would absolutely recommend him to any bride and groom looking for a DJ -- and then some. We will forever be grateful for the contribution he made and the hard work he put in on our very special day.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found the perfect venue. The chapel's absolutely charming, and perfect for photos. The coordinator at Little Shawnee Chapel was an absolute gem. From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, they were incredibly helpful and attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. It was amazing as it allowed my wife to relax and enjoy every moment with her family who flew in. The chapel itself is timeless. It's super well lit, yet cozy. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, creating an intimate and romantic ambiance that our guests loved. PLUS, the neighboring space allowed extra room for our guests to grab refreshments before and after the ceremony, which other smaller venues in town definitely didn't offer. We can't thank everyone enough for making our wedding day truly special. If you're looking for a venue with charm, character, and exceptional service, look no further than Little Shawnee Chapel. Highly recommended!!!
