Venue: The Bedford Village Inn    A+

They take care of everything. It is a truly beautiful location for ceremony and reception. It was just stunning. All details were handled exactly as we asked and they took care of the guests. Food is delicious! Our guests continue to rave about the inn.

Jane is a family friend who is also a JP. We couldn't have asked for anything more in a JP. She worked with us to create an extremely personal and emotional ceremony. She listened to all our ideas and concerns and guided us to create a wonderful memory. I highly recommend working with Jane - she is one of the most kind and genuine people I know.

Bob was truly wonderful. He is a fun person to have around, listens and is full of ideas. Bob is a true professional and his work reflects that. Communication during planning process was excellent. They day of was easy and no fuss. He got SO many great shots, we are in love with our pictures.

DJ: Matt Pearson, Pearson Entertainment   A+

Everyone raved all night about the music. Matt provided both ceremony and reception music. Matt did a great job choosing music based on our taste. He was willing to meet all our wishes. He is a very fun person! He effortlessly kept the dance floor packed all night without any gimicky (at our request) games. Planning was easy as Matt is accommodating and flexible. Price couldn't be beat.

Dance Lessons: Amanda, Dance Because A+

Amanda made learning the steps for our first dance a blast. We had so much fun! She is really talented and was able to teach us in a few weeks an unforgettable first dance. She keeps sessions light and fun. We looked forward to our lesson each week and are bummed we are finished! Highly recommended.

Cake: Fredrick's Pastries A

Yummy! The cake was delicious and really beautiful!

Florist: Lyndsey Loring Designs  A

Lyndsey did bouquets, bouts and cake flowers for us. Her style is just what we wanted and the flowers were beautiful. Reason no plus = the flowers on our cake were beautiful but not the flowers I thought I picked out no big deal really. Also the bridesmaid's had soft yellow tulips, when they arrived I had to ask Lyndsey what flower they were, I had never seen the double bloom type tulips she used. They didn't look like traditional tulips but were very pretty.

Guest Accommodations:
Bedford Village Inn A+
Holiday Inn Express, Manchester
A+

We blocked rooms for guests at both the Bedford Village Inn & The Holiday Inn Express - both were great. I also stayed in the Holiday inn express the night before with my bridesmaids and loved it! The rooms are large and very clean. Our guests were pleased the the hotel and many utilized the shuttle provided from the reception. The bedford village inn requires Friday and Sat night weddings to block all rooms in the inn. They are pricey but so worth it. All rooms were rented by our guests and are very luxurious!! No complaints :)

Rehearsal Dinner: Firefly, Manchester NH A+

Cannot say enough good things. They were able to accommodate our group of about 20 and had just the right atmosphere. Planning was easy, price was great as well. Everyone enjoyed the food - we will go back for sure! They really took care of us - flower arrangements on the table (which we were able to take home)

Hair Stylist: Signature Style A+

Loved working with Michelle! She is super sweet and my hair was great. It was just me and the bridesmaids  that day in the salon and they provided drinks and we ordered lunch delivered there - they are very accommodating. Only complaint - not enough/strong enough hair spray. I added my own back at the inn.

Linens: Divine Linens B

Good selection and the place looked great! I was not originally impressed when I went in for my appointment as the man I was supposed to meet with forgot, the woman was on the phone with him for at least 10 minutes while I sat in the dark show room. She then explained she typically doesn't do the consults but would do mine, she didn't know how to tie the different knots but they had the right color and I chose them :) Everything worked out fine in the end!
