Looking for some suggestions on outside vendors

[oochr1soo]

I'm new to this board and me and my fiancee are planning a Disney Wedding and I would like to find out some reccomendations on outside Floral, Photo and Video vendors? Are there ones that there is a consensus best?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris

The ONLY one you should even consider is Randy Chapman for photography, and Stan at STVS for videographer. They are the most popular guys on these boards.

This is who we used and they were both wonderful! If you go to either website they have great deals on packages if you use both of them.

For video we are using Jeffrey Stoner video and he was horrible. Our video is not even watchable..

For floral we are using Flourish Productions and they were fabulous to work with GL.

We actually met and/or spoke with a lot of the vendors people love on this bored and HATED them. I do understand why people use them, because they are very familiar with Disney's regulations, policies, etc.

We only have our video and photo right now. We are still debating on floral, although I've heard a lot of good things about Flourish. We also met with Lee Forrest. We were going to meet with DSR Designs and their customer service has been TERRIBLE.

I know someone above mentioned Jeffery Stoner...he is an AMAZING videographer. Unfortunately, he had a family emergency when we were in town to meet and had to cancel day of, so we didn't get to meet with him. He is pretty pricey, but his work is amazing. I guess it was meant to be because we just loved Seth (and Seth's prices are totally affordable).

Both have been amazing to deal with thus far, and truly impressed us when we met with them on our trip to FL a few weeks ago.

Oh and for photo, the Roots are amazing too!

A lot of people I know who used Randy loved him, but when they realized that Misty is affordable too they sometimes wish they went with her. So be sure to check everyone out and don't make any assumptions. If you liek the person's work- look into it.

Bottom line- from what I have seen on here if you go with Misty, Randy, or the Roots you will have AMAZING photos.

Randy Chapman should not be the only one to consider. There are other great vendors available such as Misty Miotto and Root Photography. For video STVS and Starfruit Productions do great work.

I don't think outside floral should be an option but that is just my own opinion. I don't know who anyone uses.

 

[oochr1soo]

These are great suggestions.. I'll have to look into all these.. Thanks a ton! keep them coming if you want..

Yea i wasnt sure if there is a huge savings to be had from using outside floral.. i feel like the most savings could come from photo/video..

Thanks again..

Chris
