Feedback Forms


After each event we send a feedback form to every client we work with because we love to hear from our clients! We believe feedback is important and helps us to make sure each and every event we do is a success! Below is one of our recent feedback forms from a lovely wedding at the Rockwood Women’s Club.  Bonnie really enjoyed working with this couple to plan a wedding that truly felt like a reflection of them.

Top 10 First Dance Songs


From the tried and true classics to more modern and contemporary we have a list of the Top 10 First Dance Songs to help you make selecting the right music for your wedding a little bit easier. Music really helps to set the tone for your wedding, whether it’s classical, country, or good old rock and roll, you can set the mood for the night with your first dance selection, as it is typically the first song of the night. When it comes to picking the song for your first dance, be sure to pick a song that reflects you both as a couple; it can be “your song” from when you first started dating, your favorite country song or a classic that everyone knows and loves like At Last by Etta James.  Check out our list below of the Top 10 Most Requested First Dance Songs from the last year to help give you some ideas for your first dance!
