Where are the Disneyland Brides?

[sunflwer555]

It seems like everyone is getting married in WDW, what about Disneyland?
I am just comparing vendors right now. Disney gave me a sheet of their preferred vendors. What vendors did you use? Was there anyone that stood out, did an amazing job?
I just had my hair and makeup trial with Fairytale Hair and Makeup. They did an amazing job. They knew exactly what I wanted. And they will come to me the day of the wedding.
I have Disney doing pretty much everything. Just want other Disney brides input.
Thanks!

Welcome! Have you seen the sticky at the top of the page? There is some great information on there.

I think that my info is in the sticky, but our vendors were:

Photography- Doug and Chenin Boutwell. They are awesome! Did a fabulous job. MANY DLbrides have gone with them over the last few years. I can proudly say that we were their first DL wedding
DJ- California Mobile Dj. Good job, great price.
Bagpiper- Southern California Bagpiper. Played beautifully.
Floral- Disney.
Officiant- A family member
Hair- A family member

BTW, we were married at the DLH in the Rose Court Garden with our recpetion in the Trillium Room at the GCH. Our cocktail hour was in the Brisa Courtyard with the monorail running overhead.

I am getting married at the Rose Court Garden in Disneyland Hotel.

As for outside vendors, I am using Carolyn Alexander as my officiant and I love her. She is so awesome. One of the reasons I chose her was I didn't want a religious type ceremony. When I approached her with writing my own ceremony she welcomed the idea with open arms and even helped a little by giving tips.

I am using Joe Lumaya for my photography, and he has been totally awesome to work with. He is a very creative guy and I can't wait to see what he has in store for me.

As for my hair and makeup, I can't really help much since I am flying my hair dresser and her family down to Disneyland. I figured I should use someone who I knew her work is flawless and knows how to deal with my difficult hair.

My wedding is December 1. So its coming up sooner than I expected!

Well, I tried to post last night, but the DIS was down at 12:30...lol, I have to go ask on the tech board why that is...

Anyway, my vendor review is in the sticky, but briefly:

Photo: The Boutwells!!!!! The BEST! (thanks Keri for bringing them to disney! )
Video: Radiant Video Productions (on recommendation from Chenin, they all worked really well together! that's a good tip, ask your photographer who they would recommend for videography...that way they don't compete with each other for the best shots, rather they work together.

DJ - Invisible Touch (Disney's DJ)
Floral - family did bridal party, Disney did everything else
Officiant - my former youth group adviser who became a minister
Hair/Makeup - Hair Comes the Bride

Ceremony - Rose Court Garden
Pre-Reception - Hyperion Queue (DCA)
Reception - Sunset Plaza (DCA)
