This review is for Vanamir, West Pennant Hills NSW

The Vanamir website has many beautiful designs for wedding stationery, which can be tailored to your needs and budget. I used this business for my wedding invitations and thank you cards. Sylvana was very helpful and as I lived interstate we discussed, reviewed and confirmed design options via phone and email which was very convenient.

The finished products were amazing - both invitations and thank you cards (100 of each) were stunning and of consistently high quality throughout the batch. Both orders were promptly dispatched and well packaged to ensure they were delivered intact. I received many compliments about the stationery used for the wedding. Overall a smooth and positive service experience - thanks Sylvana!

This review is for Novat Footwear, Preston VIC

After spending way too many hours looking for bridal shoes, I found Novat through a word-of-mouth recommendation. What a relief.

They have a great range of bridal shoes, dress shoes and dancing shoes in their showroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful as I tried on shoes and found my perfect pair. Pricing was reasonable in comparison to other bridal shoe prices (they are expensive everywhere!), however I was lucky enough to visit when they had a sale on the shoes that I wanted!

Novat shoes are available in a variety of styles (you can see on the website, but seeing and trying them on in the store is much better). The pair I selected were also really comfortable on my wedding day. Novat do a great job in providing a great range of beautiful and functional shoes as well as providing really lovely customer service.

When I lived in Melbourne, I used this business all the time to assist mainly with hemming pants and the occasional more complex alterations. Coming back to Melbourne for my wedding, I needed some significant alterations made to the wedding dress I had ordered. Due to its late arrival my timeframes were relatively short.

The ladies at Snippity Snip were as helpful and reliable as ever. They are incredible dressmakers and essentially reconstructed my wedding dress for me in a short space of time. They also helped out my mother and mother-in-law with altering and fixing their outfits for my wedding day.

Every time I have visited this store I have received friendly service and quality alterations. They are always very open with me regarding what can or can't be done, so my expectations are always realistic (rather than some places that promise things but fail to deliver them).

I highly recommend Snippity Snip for any alterations you may need done. Thank you Snippity Snip team!

This review is for Ascot House Receptions, Ascot Vale VIC

We chose Ascot House for our wedding and lunchtime reception and we were so pleased that we did. The team were very helpful in assisting us tailor an event package appropriate to our needs, and gave us great tips based on their past experience.

The grounds were beautiful, we had a lovely garden ceremony and a fantastic lunch in the grand ballroom. The staff took great care of us and we had a wonderful, memorable day. We also received numerous compliments from our guests regarding the beautiful venue, the friendly staff, the promptness of meal service and how delicious all the food was (especially the tasting plate of desserts!).

The Ascot House team were a pleasure to work with for our special day and we would not hesitate in recommending them to others for any sort of event.

This review is for The Ceremony Store, Upwey VIC

We had to organise our Melbourne wedding from interstate, which made finding and selecting a celebrant a bit of a challenge. It's so important to get the right person for the role!

With limited opportunities to meet with celebrants in Melbourne, and so many celebrant websites to trawl through, it was a great relief to find The Ceremony Store website. Their website was so helpful - it had videos of the celebrants as well as a lot of useful information. I strongly recommend you have a look!

Melissa Jacob worked with us to make sure our wedding ceremony was all we could wish it to be. She is very organised, has lots of support information on hand, and was great at guiding and supporting us through the process of designing our wedding ceremony. Most of all she was friendly, always approachable and so reassuring before and on the big day. Melissa helped everything run smoothly for our ceremony and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who wants a fantastic celebrant for their special day.

This review is for Top Cat Dry Cleaners, Kingston ACT

I used this business to get some shirts dry-cleaned. Their customer service when I dropped off and picked up the items was great, plus they sent an sms to my phone to let me know when my shirts were ready - ahead of the quoted time!

They do alterations but you need to pre-pin the garments before bringing them in. I also noticed they have a 24 hour pick up window/machine although I did not utilise it or ask about how it works, this may be of interest to some. Prices were reasonable and for the lovely service I received I will be returning.
