She didn't even inform the bride and groom she was leaving. After looking for her for quite some time, a guest informed them she left because the bridge was out in Saginaw. Another person said they live a mile from her and the bridge is passable. Also, there is an alternative route she could have used. She also led the couple to believe that she had either had several contacts with vendors or attempted several contacts with vendors. After speaking with vendors, this was a flat out lie! The bride ended up planning everything and had to deal with the stress of coordinating everything. The "wedding planner" didn't even attend the rehearsal dinner, was late to the venue location the day of the wedding. Friends and family assisted the bride with the decorating!

When we first got serious about actually taking the plunge and planning our wedding, it seemed like…read morean incredibly intimidating prospect. Having known others who did a lot of the legwork organizing their own weddings, we knew that a ton of work goes into working with vendors, setup on the day of, and more. Even worse, we barely knew all of the things that we needed to do to make a wedding happen! Thankfully, we decided to look for a wedding planner and came across Jill and Di's Brides. Jill made planning the wedding almost painless for us, and dare I say it, somewhat fun? We established a sort of flow where we would propose some ideas, Jill would do all of the actual hard work finding and phoning vendors, and then all we had to do was the fun part of making the choice at the end of the day. This was incredibly successful for us- Jill found us the perfect venue, great vendors, and helped us with all of the things we wouldn't have even thought about to make the wedding as wonderful as it was. And day of, we barely even had to think about any of the organization! We could just enjoy what we can only describe as a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Jill was a joy to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone trying to plan a wedding.

I knew they were awesome and a lot of fun while capturing our wedding day, but I've seen wedding videos in the past that were all very predictable and seemingly all the same. BUT after watching just the trailer alone - I stand corrected. Jeremy should be showing Kubrick and Scorcese how it's done! Our video trailer was truly EXCITING to watch and not just because it's OURS but because it is a piece of cinematic ART! I mean my hubby and I were there and obviously played a large role in the whole event but we were left guessing what was next, sitting on the edges of our seats completely enthralled in the video footage that played out in front of us wanting more! That being said... Once we were able to watch the entire video... WOW! Hands down it was theee thing that we were most excited about after the big day. It is something we still agree was the best decision we made when planning the wedding. Wedding pictures are amazing to have around for memories (believe me we had a phenomenal photographer and our pix are beautiful) but even our favorite photos pale in comparison to the wedding video. The video and trailer have several times allowed us to RE-live the moments from that special day. It's truly magical. When we watch the video (which we and our loved ones have done several times now) we find ourselves laughing, giggling, crying, kissing, laughing more, etc. Words cannot even describe the appreciation we have for Departing Line Studios with what they put together for us. We are forever grateful to them for capturing our story like they did and then to put everything together the way that they did afterwards to make it retell not just any story but OUR STORY. I know that many couples like us may be hesitant when booking videographers (and other large ticket services) as we all realize early on, prices add up quickly over the entire spectrum of planning an event. I understand, they do but please trust me when I say that if you decide to go with Departing Line Studios for videography there will be no regrets what so ever. In fact after witnessing their work... My husband and I would have gladly paid double. We have NOT ONCE regretted booking Departing Line Studios for our videography nor will we ever. All the remaining décor is in boxes in the basement, the dress ended up in a garbage bag when leaving the hotel the following morning (don't judge ladies yours might too... lol), the cake and leftovers went home with friends and loved ones but all in all after the BIG DAY we weren't left holding on to much other than each other. Now... With the video we can go back and appreciate the dinner, cake and the cutting of the cake. When I want to watch our guests mingling around the room with the decorations placed ever so carefully I can. When I want to look at my dress and watch how it flowed around the room/dance floor all night I can. When we want to relive the "I Dos" we can. When I want to watch the look on my hubby's face when my father walked me down the aisle to him - I can... over and over and over. I'm sure you get it. The video of our wedding day is amazing and is something that we will treasure forever and ever. To Jeremy, Dottie and the entire crew at Departing Line Studios THANK YOU so much for helping make our special day even more memorable and for allowing us to share it with all of our family and friends for years and years to come!
