Your Wedding Place

4946- 53 Ave
Red Deer
Alberta
T4N 5J9

Notes

WOW! I can't begin to say how amazing this bridal salon was. In particular how amazing the owner, Janelle Leer was. She went out of her way to make sure that I was happy with the dress purchase I had made. I had been dealing with her each time that I had been in the store, and when I went back to purchase my dress in February, she wasn't in that day, so I placed my order, and paid in full. I was told that the dress should arrive at the end of June, early July, but it arrived in May. Thankfully it arrived early, because when I had placed my order, I was told that the size I would need was one size smaller than the sample gown I had tried on. I thought that was weird, the sample one seemed to fit me just perfectly, but being that the lady worked there, I decided that she probably knew what she was talking about, so I went with her word. Well, once the dress arrived, it was indeed not the right size at all. It fit me because it is a lace-up gown, but it did NOT look right at all. So I decided to talk to Janelle about it to see what she said. After voicing my concerns to her, she said she'd see what she could do and she'd call me back. The next week, she called me back saying that she had another gown on the way in the bigger size, but it would take longer to get here. She also said that she would keep the original gown that I had ordered put away. She did that so that I could try the two gowns on when the new one came in so that I could compare the two sizes. So when the new one came in, as soon as I put it on, I knew that it was the right size, and I din't even need to try the original one on. 

So not only did she go out of her way to bring in another dress for me when many other salons would have said "too bad... you got what you ordered", but when I had found a coupon for a 10% any purchase AFTER I had already paid for my dress in full, she helped me find a way to use it. She sid that I couldn't use it on my dress to get any money back, but if there was anything else in the store that I was going to purchase, I could use it on that. Well, I had inquired about a bridal cape, and she said that they were $100 to rent, so I was all prepared to use the coupon on that, when she offered the cape rental to me for free. She said that if I had used the coupon on my dress, I would have received about $100 off, so she gave the cape rental to me for free!

I highly reccommend this Bridal salon, or Janelle Leer in particular, to anyone in the area or even anyone from Edmonton or Calgary who's willing to travel to get amazing service at a salon they can trust.

Red Deer Catering

RR#4, Site 11, Box 9
Red Deer
Alberta
T4N 5E4

Notes

Red Deer catering was really good. It was a buffet style meal, but they served the entire head table, so we never had to move from our seats for the meal. They were all set up and ready to go on time, and they were very prompt in cleaning up, with very little disturbance. I honestly didn't even see them leaving.

Flowers For You

Box 4214
5008 51 Ave
Panoka
Alberta
T4J 1R6

Notes

Carol was great. She has done MANY weddings over the years and she has multiple books with photos showing all the flowers she's done. A very professional atmosphere and very reasonable prices. She will work with you to create whatever it is that you may have in mind. She also offers deliver at a reasonable rate as well. I only had one thing that went wrong with the flowers, and this was an issue of her not writing something down in the right spot on her page, but she quickly worked with me to rectify the problem, and everything turned out great. Very professional and highly recommended, but make sure that you reveiw EVERYTHING at least a week before the wedding to make sure that your order is correct.

The Worx Salon

3615 50 Ave
Red Deer
Alberta
T4N 3Y5

Notes

I highly reccommend this salon to ANYONE. Whether it be used for your wedding day needs or not, all of the sylists there were very friendly. I had booked my entire bridal party (excluding the guys of course!) at this salon, and all six of us were in and out in just over two hours, and they made sure that we were happy with the end results before we left the salon. We had been in there early enough that we had plenty of time to go and get dressed for the ceremony and arrive there on time.

They are experienced in, and offer, many different services to meet any of your beauty needs! They're not called "The Worx" for nothing!

The Chalet, Westerner Park

4847A-19 Street
Red Deer
Alberta
T4R 2N7

Notes

The Chalet was where our reception was held. The inside of the Chalet is just beautiful and is perfect for a warm, somewhat smaller atmosphere. The building is a log cabin-style and the warm colors of the wood inside went really well with our fall theme. I had seen the Chalet quite a few years back when I had been working at the Westerner, and I just knew that I had to have my reception there. It turns out that my oldest brother got married there and had his reception there two years ago, so I was almost put-off having it in the same building for fear of "Deja Vu", but I knew that our themes were so different that nobody would even think twice about it. So we booked it and Nancy Paish was very helpful in seeing to it that everything was set up inside just the way thet we wanted it to be.

Veilshop.com

Box 32
Mason, OH 45040

Notes

I was vey impressed with Veilshop.com. I've always been a little leary about ordering anything online, but veilshop.com was excellent. They have tutorials and plenty of pictures to help you decide what is right for you. They also offer free swatches of the veil material and in all the colors thay have so that you can match your veil to your dress perfectly even though you can't try it on with your dress to make your decision. The also have a build-your-own veil option so that you can get exaclty what it is that you have in mind. They aslo have a large selection of headpieces and jewellery to choose from as well, and the pictures on their site matched perfectly with the jewellery that I bought. the colors weren't too different on the computer screen than they were in real life.

We had Peter Micheals for our DJ. He was very friendly, he was there and set up exactly on time when he needed to be and he has a great personality for any event. He also came appropriately dressed.
