| OK ladies, I sat down to write this before, and 45 min later, it was all erased... So I'm trying again! From the top:
BM & Bridal Dress: Bridal & Beyond, Mississauga ON www.bridalandbeyond.ca
9/10
We walked in, loved the huge selection and loved the one on one treatment we got. All the dresses were in early and in perfect condition. The alterations were done on my gown on site, and were incredibly reasonable - the only point lost was because I was a little uncomfortable with the guns falling out, but the seamstress said they were fine.
 
Tuxes: Moore's Clothing for Men, Newmarket ON www.moores.com
6/10
We went in MONTHS early to pick and get fitted for the tuxes, they had a great selection, and treated us well enough. DH and my dad went together to get measured, signed off on the measurements etc etc. The tuxes came in on Tuesday or so, and my dad waited until FRIDAY to go pick his up (don't get me started on this one). Moore's ordered my dad's tux in my FH's size, which was incredibly wrong! DH is TWICE my dad's size! The lady at Moores personally had to drive to their distribution centre, pick up the right tux, and drive it back to my dad by 10am the morning of the wedding. THANK THE LORD they ended up making it, and all the guys looked fantastic!
 Veil: Ebay, Veils by Lana
10/10
Reasonably priced, delivered in plenty of time, perfect condition 
 Hair & Makeup: Exhale Salon & Spa, Bradford, ON www.exhalespa.ca
10/10
The girls here were fantastic! They came in early for us, had me, my girls, my mom AND sil all done, EARLY! We had PLENTY of bagels and muffins, with OJ, Coffee and Tea (we brought the champagne lol) to munch on and had a great time! It helps that my hair looked fantastic, my makeup lasted all night, and I felt GREAT!
 Hair Pins, Earrings & Shoes: Woodbridge Bridal & Shoe Shop, Woodbridge ON
10/10
The girls here took their time to help me find hair pins, I wanted something different than the typical Tiara. I found the shoes, earrings and hairpins ann at once, and I couldn't have been happier! I also got my BM's their hair jewels and earrings there too!
 On to the fun stuff! Wedding Planner: Distinct Occasions www.distinctoccasions.ca
10 million/10!
Crystal was my best investment! We found eachother about 2 years before the big day, I was instantly comfortable with her, she had the same vision for my wedding that I did (basically I wanted it ON TIME lol) She was there the whole time, made sure everything was out properly, handled my candy buffet, name cards etc etc... I was SO happy with her! If there were problems, I didn't know about them! I'd recommed her to ANYONE looking for a wedding planner!

 Decorator & Florist: Special Day Designs www.specialdaydesign.ca
10/10
Judi went over and above for me, she became quite a great friend through the wedding planning process! My florals were all beautiful, people are still telling me how beautiful they thought my bouquet was! In addition to that, the decor at my house was fantastic, the decor at the hall was amazing and the ceremony decor took my breath away! Judi aimed to please, and she did far more than that! Her work speaks for itself though
 
Cake: Irresistable Cakes, Vaughan ON www.icakes.ca
10/10
The cake was exactly what we ordered, it tasted great and was there when it needed to be. What more can you ask for?
 Photographer: Jennifer Images, Milton ON www.jenniferimages.ca
10/10
Jen & Lisa were amazing at the wedding! Despite the fact that I didn't know how they could possibly take all the pics I wanted, considering we were so pressed for time, they managed to get all the pics, and more! I couldn't possibly love my pro pics more, they're everything I could have wanted! Jen was always available for me via email and responded quickly! I got my pro pics, all edited, within a month of the wedding Please, please, please check her out if you're looking for a photographer, she's the best one out there!
 Videographer: Vision Digital Studios, Maple ON www.visiondigitalstudios.com
tbd, so far 10/10
We haven't gotten our video yet, but while Todd was with us, we barely knew he was there! I saw him a few times, getting shots of things that I wouldn't have thought of, so I'm sure its going to be fantastic! I can't wait to see the video, Fascha's was great, so I'm sure mine will be too! DJ: Good Vibrations, Vaughan ON www.goodvibrations.ca
10/10
Our DJ was Marcello, he was phenominal! The lights, sound and overall atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for! There wasn't a single moment the dance floor wasn't rammed! MANY people have asked me for our DJ's info, because they did such a great job! The brought a kissing wheel, even though we didn't pay for it (bonus!) and kept the crowd up at all times! I would highly recommend these guys!
 Ceremony Music: Gwillimbury Music Ensemble www.gwillimburymusic.com
10/10
Our first meeting went incredibly well, we were instantly sold at Chris' warmth and need to please! He played for us, and we booked him on the spot. We chose the duet, classical guitar and flute, and Chris brought his sax as well. From what I hear, they were fantastic, I can tell you that DURING the ceremony, they impressed me! They were the best priced too, great guys!
 
Officiant: Gordon Kushner, Toronto, ON
9/10
Gord was awesome in guiding us towards a ceremony that suited us! He was a really friendly guy, and made it for all our meetings on time, and was always pleasant! The only point docked was because he KINDA screwed up the e-ring ceremony, and it was an important part to me, BUT he managed to fix the blunder, and I don't think anyone else noticed but me. He was a little pricey, but worth it when all was said and done!
 The Venue: Villa Colombo, Toronto ON
6/10
All the pre-planning was fantastic with Agostino, then he took holidays when my wedding day came, and it all went to crap! Ok, well that may not be fair... it was set up beautifully, and the food was fantastic! BUT they ran out of 3 types of beer before DINNER, and only had Ex near the end of the night. They had no vodka come dinner time, and we're not huge drinkers either! We wanted the Prime Rib to be plated, and it wasn't, there were 2 tables with the incorrect number of place settings... which was embarrassing (yes, we DO want you to sit here) and a couple other little things... not too impressed, but I truly believe that if Agostino was there, none of this would have happened.
 Have I missed anything??? Hope not, I'll edit if I did!
~ ~Beans~~ We did it, and it was everything I imagined it would be!
