Evidently when you attempt to contact wedding professionals through their system they first attempt to sell your information to professionals who are not the ones you are attempting to contact before it is sent to the professional you are attempting to contact.

Once again, we recommend you avoid this wedding website.

Beware of the website eventective.com! I ran into a couple of brides over the last week or two complaining that wedding professionals, mainly photographers and djs who they had contacted were ignoring them. A few questions and I found out they had contacted these wedding professionals through a website called eventective.com. I have done a little digging and if you are seriously trying to make contact with the wedding professional DO NOT use the eventective.com contact option! Do a google search and find their real website

eventective.com is another in a long line of internet scams. They have crawled the internet looking for websites of wedding professionals and listed those sites on their service, in most cases without permission. When you click on “contact vendor” on their site, you are not contacting the vendor! eventectiv.com then takes your email and instead sends a sales pitch to the vendor, telling them if they pay up they will send them your original email. Most wedding professionals, did not sign up for this website, and consider these offers spam. After one or two they don’t event look at the offer, hence you are ‘ignored’ by the people you contact.

Here at Michiana Weddings our vendor listings lead directly to the wedding professional’s sites and you can contact them from there. I suggest avoiding eventective.com most of the time no one is on the other end of that email!

Dear Amy,

We are having problems finding an officiant to marry us at our parent’s home. The pastors at the two churches our respective families attend are insisting that we get married in church. Do you have any suggestions.

Well if you don’t mind a civil ceremony, most of the city judges will perform ceremonies. There is also The Wedding Pastor. We have worked with him in the past and he’s a really cool guy. Located in Ft Wayne, he travels around the state. Check him out at The Wedding Pastor.

Girly Girl Gifts, my favorite shop to spend way too much money in has announced their annual Holiday Open House! This year it will be taking place on Friday, November 7, from noon until 8:00 pm, and on Saturday, November 8, from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. On Friday, from 4:00 – 8:00, they will have a trunk show featuring One of a Kind jewelry creations by gifted and delightful designer, Ali Oesch. Also playing bartender again will be Brian from Allure Films and Photography, with free champagne, wine or sodas. Also snacks will be on hand.

Last year was a lot of fun. If nothing else stop by and just say hi. And if you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, ask poor Brian a photo question, all the girly talk got to him last year. Hi Brian.

Hey ladies, my favorite gift shop for unique and fun gifts is having a summer sale this Thursday. Join Cyndi and her team at Girly Girl Gifts Thursday from 4 to 8 PM for a champagne, soft drinks and fun!

Don’t forget to check out their fun, cool line of jewelry from Jess LC. They are featuring her ‘Lucky in Bed’ line, gold-filled or sterling silver necklaces and bracelets combined with the lucky Chinese color, red, along with the longstanding tradition of adding “in bed” to the end of any fortune cooking messsage.

See you there!

Weddings are very important days for everyone. But if at your wedding it rains and you have to move the formal pictures indoors, or your wedding dress gets dirty and torn or a hundred other little things happen… Go with the flow it could be far worse.

Take for example this bride and groom from China.
The world came crashing down during their wedding literally, during the earthquake!

1 oz vodka
1 oz raspberry liqueur
1/2 oz Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
1 oz whipping cream

Shake and strain into a champagne flute. Garnish with a speared raspberry, or a Hershey’s Kiss.

My future brother-in-law emailed this one to me. For decades the bouquet and garter toss was suppose to be an indication of who will be married next. Now the guys have come up with an easier and more direct way to determine who will be the next groom…
