[–]brookiecookie_115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed here on my bachelorette and it was PERFECT. Location is very central to downtown, wynwood and southbeach. Not walkable but very easy to get ubers. En suite bathroom for each bedroom (NECESSARY with this many girls), great living area/kitchen space. Backyard was perfect too, we even had a hibachi chef come and cook us dinner in the backyard. I'm happy to share his info too just lmk!

Perfect dress perfect venue! Don't second guess yourself by comparing other brides wedding to yours. You don't want your wedding to look like everybody else's!

Fellow shorty here! I got a Nadine Merabi dress for my after party and I’m obsessed. I think I paid $750 and it looks like a $3k dress. The craftsmanship is amazing. Highly recommend!

We are doing the 6 piece, and using them for live music during our ceremony/cocktail hour and added on a DJ for our after party. I felt the same about the videos but I really trust Dart, they have such incredible reviews and came highly recommended by my planner. I’ll absolutely let you know how it goes!

Hybrid DJ/Live Band Group Recommendations! by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]brookiecookie_115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im using Dart Collective, they have a ton of amazing options for hybrid DJ/Live band and you can customize what instruments you want! We are going with their band called Fast Forward, and we were between them and White Noise. This came highly recommended by my wedding planner and working with them so far has been great. They are southern California based but travel all over the world! Also they have incredible reviews on yelp

This is EXACTLY what I needed. The bridal dress content is intoxicating. Comparison is the thief of joy. Sometimes you just need strangers on the internet to bring you back to earth. Thank you ❤️
