Mark and I went with Lamar Wedding Center for our photographer and florist and we couldn't have been more pleased and impressed with the whole experience. We live in Maryland but were getting married in New Jersey (my home state! : ) ). Working...
with Dana and the entire staff at Lamar made that kind of interstate planning totally stress-free. Everyone we spoke to was friendly and professional, patient and reliable. They know their stuff and they know how to make a couple feel at ease while overseeing details from about 200 miles away! They gave great advice and quickly followed through on every detail. And they did it all with grace and good humor! Beyond the pleasant working relationship with the planners, the photographer they sent us and the florist they recommended were exceptional . Our photos turned out just beautifully and the album he put together was perfect! Plus, it was so very fun to work with the photographer. Our flowers were absolutely lovely, too! The price was extremely competitive and fair; the service was exceptional and we very highly recommend Lamar Wedding Center to any couple planning their big day. Thank you so much!

We went with Lamar Wedding Center for our officiant service and transportation. We met with Rita and felt like she was meant to be our officiant. She was personable and had a great sense of humor. We worked with her during the planning process ...
and would touch base to review the ceremony details here and there. She went out of her way to get to know us to make our ceremony meaningful and personal. On our wedding day, she was phenomenal! She had our guests laughing with her sense of humor (which broke the ice for us since we read our own vows). We still receive compliments to this day about how great she was! People thought she knew us for years because of how special she made us feel. We also went through Lamar Wedding Center for our Rolls Royce and the transportation services were great. On time, reliable, affordable and safe!

rporated our rosary & coins into the ceremony and even had our 2 daughters/flower girls join us for a special moment during the ceremony! The little video clips our guests have sent me I watch over and over and everytime it takes my breath away! I wish we could have gotten a personal photo with her. No amount of charge or tip could express how much she is worth to us... from our first meeting up until after the ceremony... Rita is just Amazing... Priceless...
