Wedding hourglass vendors

[TheQueenMum]

Hi Ladies,

This is not a strictly Dis Wedding question, but you are the best brides around, so I thought I would ask you!

We had an hourglass ceremony at our wedding last year, and loved it! It was so lovely and perfect for us, sadly we bought our custom wedding hourglass from TK Young (http://www.hourglassesonline.com) even though I had read negative reviews about him from some ladies, I loved his work! Shame on me for not listening, We returned the hourglass and sand after the ceremony so that he could seal up the glass and put the custom wooded ends on that we had ordered (and paid almost $300 for) and I have not herd a peep from him since! (It's been 11 months )

So my bad, we are out $300. But I really want an hourglass to commemorate our wedding, and luckily we still have some left over sand from the ceremony. Long story short, Does anyone have any recommendations on hourglass vendors that do the custom wedding glasses? I have only found one other on the internet (heirloom hourglasses) and I am not fond d of their style.

Please help a DisSista out!
(also, stay away from TK Young!)

I dont have any advice, but I'm really sorry that happened to you.

We had the exact same problem with the same vendor. It took us nearly two years, a ton of phone calls and emails, then eventually Better Business Bureau involvement but we finally got our hourglass.

It's not calibrated properly and the sand gets stuck in the center of the hourglass.
