Day 1595 – Planning Your Wedding In Baltimore Maryland: A Word About My Recommended Vendors

I have a great list of recommended vendors.

I wanted to say that these folks are some of the best of the best that I’ve worked with. I keep this list fresh, updating when I work with a new, great vendor and deleting when someone doesn’t live up to the level of service that I give my clients. It is not an extensive list by any means. There are many vendors not included. The only reason is that I want to limit each category.

Do you have any questions about any of my recommended vendors? I love them, I love talking about them and would love to help you plan your wedding, even in a little way. 🙂

Day 1472 – My Recommended Baltimore Maryland Wedding Vendors

You may notice I talk about the same vendors a lot. You might also notice that I’m friends with a lot/most of them. Now, you might be thinking….hmmm, only sharing info for your friends, eh?

Well, yes, some are friends. Some I have known for a while. BUT, I stand behind every vendor on my recommended vendor list. If something happens with a vendor, I’ll take them down. If I haven’t worked with a vendor for a few years, I’ll take them down. I’m not paid to share their information. I genuinely love the work each of these vendors do.

If you ever have any specific questions, let me know!

Day 1406 – An AWESOME Vendor – DJ And Limo – Baltimore Maryland

I had the privilege of working with THE best limo driver at the Kristofco Wedding! Barry was kind, professional and knew just what to ask at each location.

The highlight for me was when we (the bride and I) were about to leave for the first look. He asked her, “ok, do you have your something old, new, borrowed and blue?” When we got to borrowed, she said, “Yes! My jewelery…..MY JEWELERY!” The bride quickly put on her jewelry and we left for the church. While the getting ready location was only minutes away from the church, it saved us time. He played body guard to the room where the bride was hiding in at the church. He also carried the bride’s dress while we walked down a slightly muddy hill for pictures.

When I got his card, I knew the business name, but it didn’t hit me until later that I had worked with them before! Lasting Impressions was the DJ for the McLean Wedding! If you get the super deluxe DJ package, it includes entertainment! And the McLean reception didn’t disappoint….with a wedding party donned in YMCA props…to the limbo…to the bride’s dad dressing up like Elvis!

Super fun company to work with!!

Here’s a shot of Barry and I!

Day 947 – AWESOME New Venue in Havre de Grace Maryland

Today I took the 52 minute drive to Havre de Grace Maryland to see the new La Banque De Fleuve venue with my dear wedding vendor friends Abby (of Hair Design by Abby) and Bridget (of K & B Bridals and Event Planning). As soon as I walked through the door, I had to pick my mouth up from the floor. There are certain places you walk into and there is just this magical moment. I had a similar one when I walked into St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in New York City. I was just overcome by the beauty of this place!

What’s really awesome about this venue is that it used to be a bank and it has been restored to be a venue. There are so many unique qualities about this place!

When you first walk in, you can see the beautiful high ceilings and the amazing lighting fixtures.

And then you realize there’s a skylight!

The next thing that catches your eye is the old bank vault in the center of the main room.

There are a few REALLY neat things about the vault. Kimberly, who gave us the tour, noted that you could do many things in the vault. Gift table, candy bar, etc. She also told us that the sides (inside) are magnetic!! Just imagine hanging some fabric that matches your wedding colors in there! Now, I will note here that this is the only place in the venue you can hang things, etc. This is a historical building! There is also a wine rack in here!

These are the two lovely new friends I met today, Nick and Kimberly! It was such a joy to just sit and chat with them! We stayed for two hours just talking shop and getting to know one another. I look forward to working more with them in the future!

I didn’t get any shots, but this venue is RIGHT on the water! Imagine getting married in a really cool historical building and then getting your formal pictures taken by the water! ahhhh. 🙂

If you are interested in using La Banque De Fleuve for your wedding or other event, check out there website!

After our meeting, Abby and I grabbed a bite to eat at MacGregor’s. It was such a great time of talking about our experiences in the wedding industry and our lives. I am blessed to have met her!

This is what I got to eat!
