Anyone youve had dealing's with and a good experience with please add - hopefully it will benefit another B2b

Make up makeupbydebi@hotmail.com

and Hadlow Manor Hotel in Tonbridge, Kent.

I will let you know who will help the day run smoothly when I find out for myself. Can we not start up a supplier warning thread though, I will start it off about a particular cake topper lady....................

Yeah I know. I just wish I would've known what she was like before ordering from her and paying her! I suppose I shouldn't moan too much, as so far this is the only thing about Wedding Planning that has really got me annoyed. Still I can't help it, she is clearly lacking terribly in the customer service department.

I ordered my Dad a pocket watch for his gift for our wedding day from the above - here is the one i ordered:

http://www.tomsawyerwaistcoats.co.uk/store/showitemQ3-HB1885.aspx
I ordered this item 3 days ago, and it arrived by recorded delivery this morning... I have to say its more gorgeous in real life!

Its a beautiful watch, and exactly what i wanted, and a really good price. You can also have engraving on it!

They also supply waistocats (obv), cravats and other gifts, and their customer service is excellent!

I totally recommend this company to any brides to be, and i will definately be getting more gifts from them in the future!!

Very very pleased!!

gps stationary in tycoch am so impressed swansea

I got some lovely jewellery made by a girl called Laura - she will make stuff the way you want it.

I can highly recommend the following as they have been awesome and anyone looking at getting married in Derbyshire should definitely check them out; (all come up if google them)

County Hall Matlock - Leah the functions coordinator is brilliant!
Oakley Wedding Cars
Andy Scothern Photography
Jacksons the Bakers

All over UK and Ireland - Sykes Cottage

Would advise you steer clear of the following though;

Matt Sanderson Photography - he 'forgot' to turn up for the appointment that he made with us, and then had the nerve to try implying it was our fault???

Leading Imagery - based in Clay Cross, Andy the photographer took the right hump when I suggested places I wanted photos taken and accused me of 'trying to do his job for him'

So far I have one recommendation:
www.thisisinnovation.co.uk (photographers) they covered my sis and moh weddings and now will be covering mine

I know this is a thread for listing recommendations can we ask for them too?

If so I need some hair and beauty recommendations and florist recommendations in sussex

xxxxxxxx

Not had the proof of anyone yet as just over 8 weeks to go apart from:

Cake topper - www.justtoppers.co.uk - great personlised topper and only £30! Sarah is a very obliging lady too!
Guest book - http://papermemories.moonfruit.com - BEAUTIFUL! again very obliging and reasonable. came in a lovely presentation box
Both highly recommended!

After my wedding will hopefully have more recommendations to add!

I've just discovered www.michaeldark.co.uk which has fab prices for vases - fishbowls at £3.00 and mirror plates from £1.60 each. Delivery is £7.50, but when you're saving so much, it's still a bargain.

It's a trade website - you don't have to be a florist to use it, but the vat isn't added on until the end - still worth a look!

I am very happy to recommend all of our suppliers- they were great!
Stems and Sashes for backdrops & chair covers http://www.stemsandsashes.com/
Jo Tonks - photographer- http://www.tonksandtonks.co.uk/ he was awesome and was there from 10am-11pm
Rebecca scott/the make up lounfge for hair & make up - http://www.themakeuplounge.co.uk/
Wendy L'Estrange/Creative cakes- http://www.creativecakesbywendy.co.uk/index_files/Page1347.htm our cake was so cool!!!
Aphrodite Strings - http://aphroditestrings.co.uk/
Anne Bayston for the flowers, she doenst have a website, but is based in Warwick & was recommended to by through 'fetti- she was lovely, and very reasonable!

Any more info needed, just let me know, I would highly recommend any of them
