Thank you for letting us be part of your special day!!!! We had a wonderful time and the wedding was absolutely beautiful! The flower girl looks just like her mother She even has the same facial expressions.

I can't wait to see my photos and your proofs! I am glad to hear you had a fabulous honeymoon and no hurricanes.

I didn't use their cake for 2 reasons:

1-I'd heard too many mixed reviews on the cake.

2-This is EXACTLY how you choose your cake there:

'OK...look at these 2 pictures, which cake do you want?'
You are then told your flavor choices and that's it...no further input.

One is the 'old-fashioned' tiered cake with columns and the other is 'pagoda style' and looks like a messy pyramid...IMHO. I knew I didn't want the 'tiered/columned' style so originally I agreed to the 'pagoda' one..but after a few weeks, I thought to myself, 'that is not how I envisioned picking my wedding cake or how I thought it would look.' So I found a bakery and designed it myself! (DH picked the flowers wrapping around it...I really just wanted some fresh roses on top and some petals sprinkled...but he really liked the way it looked...I gave him that much)

Congratulations Cheryl! You looked beautiful and I'm so glad you had a wonderful day. Thanks for the great review- I'm so glad we're getting married at the Swan Club!

Since you didn't have them make your cake did they give you any credit towards your bill?

no, you don't get any credit towards the cake...but wait until the very end and send in the dads [it's a well known fact that business men/salespeople are more open to bargaining with grown men than women]...we did get an ice sculpture tossed in...i'm not sure i even saw it to be honest...but hey, something free is something free.
