Keep the ball rolling

Yesterday's DJ meeting was short and sweet. We met with one of the two-man team and he gave us a contract to look through, talked to us about our vision and what we wanted, and about 20 minutes later we were on our way. He supplied us with several references, one of whom actually got married where we're getting married, and so far everyone I've talked to has had nothing but great reviews of these guys. They're reasonably priced, especially considering our reception is going to be on a schedule so we can fit everything in that we want to. I filled out the paperwork last night, and now I just need to write a check and mail in the contract!

Today we went to our first cake tasting and it was so great! We tried yellow, devil's food, red velvet and butter rum cakes. We also tried a vanilla custard filling, cream cheese icing, buttercream icing, chocolate buttercream icing, and a chocolate fudge filling/frosting. We looked through a huge book of cakes they've done before, talked about the pictures we'd brought in, and decided on flavor combos and a design both for the wedding cake and the groom's cake. Part of the groom's cake Jason doesn't know about because I had him leave the room so I could discuss parts of his cake with the baker. We're not positive we are going with this baker, because although everything tasted great, they charge a nice fee for delivery and set up and they're pretty far from our venue. Plus, I want to talk to more people to not only comparison price shop, but taste more cake and icing!

We've been on a roll with all the good luck we've had with vendors; cross your fingers for us that this luck continues!
