vendor list and review
November 5, 2008
before everything faded from my memory, I’d like to list our vendor here so that we don’t lose this memory in the upcoming years. I spent sooo much time looking for these vendors and I’d like to share with you as well my finding, hopefully this will help you girls in preparing your own wedding (in Columbus of course :P)
Let’s start with dress, it’s from Bridal and Formal at Cincinnati. They supplied my bridal attire (gown (VW), veil, & tiara) and my bridesmaids dresses as well. [Shoes: JC, UK (internet), Perfume: Daisy by MK ]
Florist: by Michael Cua from Cua of Columbus –> really good florist to work with. He’ll provide centerpieces samples before the wedding on the wedding venue at no extra charge. One more thing I like from him, you can visit him how many time you want or call him, and he’ll happy to answer all of your questions. I really love the bouquet he made for me as well (wait until I upload the picture!)
Wedding Cake (& the golf cake): Cake Studio –>their cake tastes really awesome, they use meringue buttercream icing (or something like that), not too sweet, and their signature cake is just perfect. It’s a combo of choc. cake, choc. ganache, and fresh raspberry (that’s all I can remember now). I gave her my design (yes, the cake is my own design (and I’m proud of it whether people like it or not), and there were 3 different taste between those layers: their signature cake, vanilla and fresh strawberries, and mocha with Baileys filling. I didn’t get the chance to taste the vanilla and fresh straw. but the other 2 is really good.
Venue: Hilton at Polaris. I worked with krista Reichard, the catering manager and she’s really awesome. We started the process with Cindy way before the hotel is even finished (Krista not even hired yet). It’s still dirt and bare construction steels and we’ve approached her about having a wedding there and we (ok, it’s me) asked Cindy a LOT of questions. Well, the hotel is not even done, Krista not even hired yet, and no previous wedding for us to see as an example, so I’d better be triple extra careful. However, she answered all of my questions happily. All in all, all of the persons I work with at Hilton is very nice, very helpful and that results in a very satisfied customer (–>me), I’m literally very happy with my experience dealing with Hilton.
Here are some other vendor I use:
Lighting: PSAV by Hilton
Lymo: Lynn’s limo
Dj: Team DJ –> very dissapointing :(, it depents on who’s the DJ assigned to your party.
Hair stylist and Makeup artist: pearl and a black dress (kellie) and crystal from hair force
photographer: mark ridout-canada. He’s awesome to work with. I’ll recommend him for anyone wants my recommendation. Not only his work is good, but I also like his style where he’ll just make us relax and enjoy our big day (so we’ll have good pictures with us smiling instead of being tense). Check out his website: ridoutphotography .com videographer: bluesky - Columbus. Really2 nice to work with and they shoot beautiful footage as well.
favor: some place i found from internet
little details (candles, etc.): google (my new best friend, not new anymore now 
)
second ‘florist’: Evy Mulia - help with rose petals, and ‘other’ flower decoration.
Jewelries: import from my home country
bridesmaid’s hair and makeup: Charles penzone polaris –> OK/so so/not bad/…
linen: Lora from Elegant Touch. Really nice lady to work with.
Tux: Men’s Warehouse and Brooks Brothers
gown preserv.: Dublin’s cleaner
Flower preserv.: Creative Keepsakes
I think that’s about it.
