Planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away is not the easiest way to go. These awesome vendors helped me make it to my big day. Note: This is a dual SF and Pittsburgh list!

We didn't want those cheesy engagement portrait photos - no way!  Instead we chose to go with the San Francisco-based, urban-cool Sandwich Studios.

My fiance and I were looking for a New York loft-type venue that could…More »

Wow, did I score big with Yes we cater. I liked them so much that I tossed the idea of a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner and decided to cater both my wedding and rehearsal dinner with Yes we cater.  They are that awesome.

We've been working with Bill at Designspace and it's been as smooth as can be.  I'm going to be pretty specific in case there are any brides looking at this review.

Planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away is not easy.  We make back-to-back…More »

If you're looking at this review it means that David's Bridal is the last place you would look for a wedding dress. Those polyester and plastic pearl concoctions are panic attack inducing.

Anne Gregory is the exact opposite of David's Bridal.…More »

It's about time I write a review for Tonya and her salon.

Tonya knows eyebrows. In fact, now that my eyebrows are so nicely shaped, I'm scared to go anywhere else.

She's not just getting rid of stray hairs - no way!  Tonya is shaping your brows into…More »

Erin is a gem.

I highly recommend laser hair removal and Erin was so friendly and professional, she immediately put me at ease. (I was a little concerned about burning my skin, which proved to be silly).

Here are some details:

It's not a spa - not…More »

Adele is great, we hired her to be our wedding DJ at J. Verno Studios.

She's super eager to please and will make sure to play the tunes that you want to hear.  Adele is very hands on, and likes having a relationship with her wedding couple.  She wants…More »

The drive up was gorgeous, passing through the vineyards as the sun was peeping out through the rain, gorgeous.  The inside of the tating room isn't that spectacular, but the outside patio, should there be no rain, would be an ideal spot to drink…More »
