Best Wedding Vendors

Recently my husband and I were married in Southern Maryland and I wanted to let everyone know the awesome experiences we had. I know that I checked on here for wedding recommendations when planning so thought it might help others.

Our wedding was an outdoor wedding at Mary's Hope on Church Cove. They were absolutely wonderful! We had really bad weather episodes and some unpredictable circumstances and they handled them with ease, making our wedding perfect. The people at Mary's Hope went above and beyond to make our day special.

Patty Sparks and her crew from Personalized Touch Catering were amazing as well! The food and service were both amazing and they really made us feel as if we had nothing to worry about. There was not one complaint about food or service the entire day and many people were interested in using them as caterers for upcoming events. For those interested, the cost was way more affordable than most and the menu was customized to our requests. I couldn't have asked for nicer and more professional people to work with.

Maureen Lawson of Cakes by Maureen made and delivered our cake and it tasted amazing! The cake was huge to accomodate such a large guest list and was stunning with piping and sugar flowers that looked real! People were surprised they were made from sugar. The cost of the cake was very affordable and she was a pleasure to work with.

Marc Shubrooks of Shubrooks Entertainment was great to work with as well. He DJ'ed both our wedding ceremony and reception. He met with us before hand and helped us with song recommendations and general program ideas. He was very professional and a lot of fun. He is highly recommended and comes at a great price!

Donna and her crew at Solomon's Florist were fantastic! They did our flower centerpieces and decorated our gazebo and ceremony site as well. She met with us several times and for long hours planning and coming up with the most fitting choices for our special day. She even came and decorated things that weren't flower related, including the balcony, stairwell and the tent. I really cannot say enough good things about them and they were totally willing to work within our budget.

The only experience we had that with vendors that was not the best was with Top Hat Party Design for our tent, table and chair rental. When we originally went to them to order our package they had awesome customer service. However, when the week of the wedding came they were impossible to reach in order to help us determine a rain plan. We were very displeased with their service.

Hope those who are planning find this helpful and we really recommend Mary's Hope, Solomons Florist, Cakes By Maureen, Personalized Touch Catering and Marc Shubrooks! Feel free to email with questions! :)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. We did several flavors to appeal to different tastes. We did not do fondant icing. We did sour cream white cake in some layers, lemon cake in some layers and chocolate in others. It was amazing!
