Accommodations - Palms Hotel & Casino
A friend was able to get us a great deal on a room block at the Palms for our guests. We were originally set on staying at Mandalay Bay, but with their recent customer service issues, I was open to other ideas. The guests we recently spoke to about the hotel seem pretty receptive to staying at the Palms as well. I think it will be fun having a big group staying at the same place.
Ceremony - Flamingo
Our ceremony will take place outside in the Gazebo Chapel.
Reception - Maggiano's Little Italy
Our reception will take place in the Calabria Room. Thus far, Marc and Cassy have been great to work with, answering my emails promptly, usually the same day.
Engagement Photographer - DSP Fotographie
We had our engagement photos taken 5/11/11 in Detroit. I was so excited to work with DSP--they take amazing photos! Our photos were taken on Belle Isle, an island in the Detroit River located between Michigan and Canada.
Save the Dates - Design - Etsy seller Sushine Greeting Card Co.
Reginald was super easy to work with, and I highly recommend his work.
Save the Date Magnets - Vistaprint
I just ordered the large magnets and am hoping to have them soon.
Photographer - Bently & Wilson
After reading so many glowing reviews, I knew I had to book Todd of Bently & Wilson Photography. He will capture our 'First Look,' strip tour with the wedding party, and then the ceremony. He has been super responsive via email and has answered all of my questions.
Hair & Makeup - Harmony Medina
I am so excited to have booked Harmony for my hair and makeup. She will also be doing hair and makeup for my MOH, mom, FMIL, and grandma.
Transportation
Bell Trans will be transporting everyone from the ceremony to the reception. We rented two 24-passenger busses.
