We have been very fortunate to book some of the finest companies available to make our wedding as enchanting as possible. I would recommend everyone of them.

Valley Dale is significant as one of the nationally renowned Ballrooms of the "Big Band" musical era of the 1930's and 1940's. Many famous Big Bands and entertainers including Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby have appeared at Valley Dale. During the early 1940's CBS and NBC had simultaneous coast-to-coast radio broadcasts from the Valley Dale. Although established in 1918, Valley Dale is far from being a remnant of the past. Valley Dale remains as one of the last few Great American ballrooms from this era. While its admission to the National Register of Historic Places preserved its history, its recent extensive renovation secures its future.

We were lucky enough to have our cater, Catering By Scott, at a wedding last year. We highly recommend him. Not only is the food good but he is a great guy to deal with.

Since 1996, Matt Ryan Mobile DJ Entertainment has provided top-notch live disc-jockey entertainment for hundreds of custom events. WNCI 97.9 DJ, Matt Ryan, infuses each event with enthusiasm, professionalism, and personalization. Matt is the only DJ  I would meet with and so far I would highly recommend him. No he will not be playing "What's in Matt Ryan's boxers" at the wedding. (If you don't know it's from his days at WNCI)

What is the only thing that people care more about than the open bar, the cake. If you have not had Tricia Gale's Patty Cakes you are in for a treat. Former NBC report Tricia has been baking cakes for 27 years. Just recently just did, former Ohio State linebacker and current Green Bay Packer, AJ Hawks wedding. If she's good enough for Hawk she's good enough for us.

Nicci and I have been going to Milano's Italian Restaurant since day one of our relationship. We have celebrated Valentines day, anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays with them. Now we are going to host our rehearsal dinner there. A small little family owned place on broad St. and St. Rt. 605 Milano's has hands down the best lasagna I have ever had. I encourage you to stop in for dinner sometime. I promise you will not regret it.

I will add more as they come. The other ones are not finalized at this time.
