We also helped Danielle pull off a surprise performance for her new husband, Michael, from their favorite performing artist. The two spent their honeymoon at the Willis Graves in Burlington, KY. Congratulations Danielle and Michael!! Thanks for choosing us to help you on your special day!
The testimonials below were pulled from Danielle's website. The video footage is compliments of Studio Z Films and the amazing Steve Zugelter and photos by Tine Hoffman. (My added comments are in parentheses).
Ceremony Location: Norman Chapel at Spring Grove Cemetery (Gorgeous!)
Reception Location: Private Recording Studio (Very contemporary and unique venue for a cocktail reception.)
Videographer: Glass Eye Video Steve Zugelter simply mystifies me with his many cameras and knack for being able to literally shoot everything at once. I have never seen a video of his that didn't leave me holding my breath and mine is no exception.
Wedding Coordinator: Your Dream Day
I tell brides all the time that they just cannot do this by themselves and I am no exception to that rule. Kathy and the Dream Girls were there from 9am till midnight taking care of every little detail from setting the room to making sure Michael didn't find out that I hired our favorite band to play a surprise private concert at the reception. There is absolutely no way I could've gotten through the day without them.
Ceremony Musicians: Ashley Peacock, Marjie Long, Alison Haynes
This is one area that I was so so glad to have the inside scoop on. I have been to so many weddings where the vocalists were painful or awkward and I knew I certainly didn't have to worry about that. Ash and Marjie sounded like absolute angels and were backed up on the piano by Alison Haynes, who I swear belongs on Broadway. (She gives private lessons by the way so check her out.)
Catering: Cincy Art of Entertaining
I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie and Chef Jacob. Amazing vision, fantastic staff, and they found a way to give our food some Indian Infusion without compromising the style of the event. (Dreamgirls thought they were amazing and easy to work with behind the scenes!)
Linens and Rentals: Finch Rental
This could be my new favorite rental company. Visiting was such a pleasant atmosphere and the owner, Russ Finch, was there to answer any questions I had. He was incredibly accommodating when I needed particular set-up and pick-up times. When he couldn't make the pick-up time I needed work out, he made a special trip from Dayton to do the pick-up himself. Huge thank-you to you, Russ!
Florist: Timothy's
I love this guy. I changed my flower order about 16 times and he stayed tracking with me the whole time. My bouquet was gorgeous and the way me got the feathers to look in the Bridesmaids bouquet was like magic.
Cake: Tres Belle Cakes
My favorite Cincinnati baker by far. Tracy makes amazing cakes and you get her awesomeness at no extra charge. ($2.50 a slice to be precise! She's amazing!)
Hair and Make-up: Hair and Body Works of Hyde Park
I stuck with my personal salon for hair and make-up and am so happy that I did. Debrah did an incredible job with my challenging veil. This place is an oasis of peace and beauty. Stop in for a new hairdo from Debrah or a life-changing facial from Benny.
Photo Booth: Say Cheese Photo Booth
Not only are these booths great fun but the operators are a blast to work with as well. It was so great to come back from our honeymoon and have a scrapbook full of photo booth pictures to look at. Frank had a flash drive with digital files of all the pictures in the mail to me within days of the wedding. This is must-have fun! (We love these guys! They are a great addition to any wedding and very professional to deal with.)
Photographer: TM Photography
Tine is, in my opinion, the very best photographer in Cincinnati. She knows how to shoot a woman and make her look like a rock star. Whether it is for wedding pictures, trash the dress sessions, or boudoir photos, she is absolutely the most creative and talented photographer I have ever worked with. Plus, her accent is fantastic.
Custom Jewelry and Veil: Meg Jewelry
This woman is just too many things. She is my friend and jewelry goddess. Every piece that Meg delivers is made with the purest soul and most positive energy. She designs magnificent pieces, intended to look as well when worn alone as when worn with a wedding dress. Please, please do yourself a favor and check out her phenomenal work. She made both my necklace and hairpiece/veil. (I loved her veil! It was one of my favorite things about the day!)
