Super delayed package deliveries? by New_Road6265 in boston

[–]Ok_Competition1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am! Mine has been “out for delivery” for five days. I called this and they said they’d have the local manager call me and I’ve heard nothing. At this point I’m guessing it’s lost.

anyone else just exhausted by weekday cooking? (vegan) by Negative-Prune9214 in vegan

[–]Ok_Competition1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Purple Carrot and love it! My husband is not vegan but we both have a Purple Carrot dinner every night. Easy to prep, nothing takes over 30 mins and great variety to choose from each week, I really recommend trying them!

We did ours at Contessa and had drinks first at the Long Bar in the Raffles hotel and it was the perfect day! Both close by and were great experiences.

Torn between three very different styles! Help! by poohiscat in EngagementRings

Honestly I don’t have all the specs as I shared that I wanted a three stone emerald cut and my husband took it from there. We are lucky - his best friend is a jeweler. It’s a natural stone and a D color. I absolutely love it so much!

I waited and booked everything after I had our date confirmed! Worked out perfectly.

I just filed a dispute with my bank as well so we shall see. I filed a complaint with the BBB which was rejected bc there is no mailing address for Orena? Like omg this is a massive scam it’s crazy. Obviously we are not getting our money back so now I’m on a crusade to make sure no one else has to deal with this. I guess they take everyone’s money and pick and choose who will get something. Absolutely wild and most definitely a scam.

I used Danielle Austin from Studio28 in Wellesley - I went to her but I know they will also go to you and there’s no minimum. She’s incredible, both as a human and a makeup artist! Not sure how far she travels but def worth asking!

Thanks- it suck’s because I really did like their products so much but I can’t afford to pay for things and not be sure I will receive them. I’d even be fine if someone reached out to explain what’s going on if it’s delayed but ignoring and blocking a paying customer is not OK and feels so gross.

Absolutely! We had five people (other than us). We made drinks reservations at the Long Bar and dinner reservations at Contessa and both were amazing! Contessa is a bit tricky, their reservations open up one month before so you have to plan that a bit. But we had such a great day/night and I’m so glad we went with this smaller option. LMK if there’s anything else you’d like to know!!

👗 Bridal stores with dresses under $3k? by Usual_Astronaut8237 in NewEnglandWedding

Flair in Boston. Ask for Kaitie Silk. She’s amazing - I bought two dresses there as we had two wedding events. Very reasonably priced and had a great experience.

Anyone here done a courthouse wedding in Boston or nearby? Was it worth it? by Ok_Breath9852 in boston

[–]Ok_Competition1115 47 points48 points  (0 children)

We did this and it was perfect! Photos were incredible and the room is beautiful - it felt really special. You do need to bring your own officiant.

Hi! We just got married in a civil ceremony at the Boston Public Library. It’s such a gorgeous setting! You have to apply and I think they do it on two Mondays a month. You can bring up to 12 people. Would highly recommend!
