Vendors

We had amazing vendors and OK vendors. I always looked for detailed reviews when I was doing my vendor search so hopefully this helps Michigan brides.

Makeup Artist	Lexi Grade: A+ Met Expectations: A+, above and beyond Words: Perfect execution, flawless work Would you use them again? Absolutely! Excuse the nepotism, but my sister does a FANTASTIC makeup job. We had three trials (each with a different look) and every single one was fabulous. Read more here...
Makeup & Hair	Mirabella Salon: Autumn Grade: D Met Expectations: D Words: Has no idea how to apply makeup on Asian girls Would you use them again? No effen way I was looking forward to being pampered before my b-pic. The b-pic photographer works with Mirabella Salon in Okemos and scheduled me for hair and makeup before the photoshoot. I was less than impressed. Read more here...

Reception Venue	Radisson Lansing: Kate Grade: C- Met Expectations: D Willingness: A Cost: A Words: Willing and flexible, but not attentive and able. Would you use them again? No for a custom menu. Yes for the menu they offer. They were very flexible and accomodating. We were able to use the space the way we wanted. They customized a six-course dinner for us. There was some disappointment on how the food did turn out, but the general service was great and their customizability (is that a word?) made up for it. Read more here...

Photography	Mitch Ranger Photography: Mitch Grade: A+ Cost: A+ Words: The absolute best. Top knotch, highly talented, brings big city style anywhere. Would you use them again? Yes!

He is cocky because he knows his work is good. Read more here...
Cake	A Piece 'O Cake: Kelly Grade: C Cost: For what we actually got vs. the price? D Taste: A+ Design: D Words: Nice, but unprofessional and disappointing Would you use them again?
