Great reception venue right near the Bathing boxes

Brighton Savoy made our wedding day a great memory. We married in their Atrium with the roof open, followed by photos at the famous Brighton Bathing boxes across the road, followed by a great reception in their larger room (150 people, I believe their smaller room handles about 80 people). We even had a suite in the Hotel to get ready in.

Brilliant wedding photographers

The guys at Urban Artistry (husband and wife team) provide a great experience. From the initial meeting in their groovy little studio in Collingwood through to the event itself, they are extremely professional and make you feel very confident in their abilities.

The best wedding band in Melbourne!

We had Havana Moon play at our wedding and it was a fantastic night. They are an extremely professional outfit and you can have various combinations of musicians up to a full 9 piece band. They play all the classics as well as the new stuff.

Good value hand carwashing

In the age of water restrictions we need good car washes. If you don't want to scratch your car using those dirty brushes at a manual car wash, this is a good alternative. They do a pretty good job and don't charge through the roof.

Awesome Modern chinese in Bentleigh

Seven Stars takes a modern approach to Chinese food. I think Australian's are getting sick of sickly sweet chinese food and Seven Stars have come up with a great menu. They use the very best ingredients including Eye Fillet steak, but still manage to keep pricing low.

Too big for their own boots

GDM wired our house for Clipsal C-Bus home automation. The initial install went OK but when we needed them to come back and fix things up it typically took 4-5 weeks to get them out onsite. They are obviously moving from Residential work to Commercial and no longer care much about their residential customers.

Fast response, bit pricey

We had some minor electrical cabling done when our usual Electrician wasn't available.

Good old-fashioned service with great pricing

We got Darren to do all of our landscaping when we built our house. He came and met with us a number of times (at no charge) to discuss and plan our requirements. He quoted way lower than his competitors which made us a bit skeptical as to whether he could do a good job. He and Damian worked their bums off at our place and were always flexible and willing to do extra things along the way.

Fast paling fencing...

We agreed with our neighbours to have all of our perimeter paling fence replaced because it was falling over and rotting. These guys re-built over 80 lineal metres of fencing in one day

These guys actually live up to their name!

We needed our front door to be core drilled (a small 5mm hole drilled right through the core of the door) to install an electronic door strike for the alarm system. Precision had the right equipment and the right people to do a flawless job.
