Voting is open for the Best of the South Wedding Awards Finalists: Calligraphers, Paper Goods, Bands, and DJs!
Welcome back to our second day of unveiling Pineys finalists! While lots of gals say that their venue helps launch their wedding planning, I know many wedding day first impressions are made when the mailman delivers a personal invitation to your guests. And if your invitation is your first impression, your band or DJ brings it home at the end with one final, unforgettable dance. Now, let’s get to voting…
Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may need to click through to the blog to vote!

Calligraphy by Carole completed our wedding invitation suite and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her (and our absolutely gorgeous wedding suite!) Both my Mom and I received so many compliments on our invitations! Not only is her calligraphy beautiful she is without a doubt one of the sweetest people! She was so friendly and easy to work with and also so quick! We had quite a few delays with the printing of the invitations and Carole calligraphied all 260 envelopes in less than three days for us!! She was without a doubt the sweetest vendor and I highly recommend her to everyone!
Our DJ on May 20th, 2017 was awesome! Even in the monsoon! She put together a lot of really good dance music for our age group. (We are an older couple and just had family members at the wedding.) Everyone commented on the great music.
hinote was a dream to work with
Yay Paper Daisies! They made my wedding invites and we absolutely loved them!

My daughter is a graphic designer and the invitation was very important to her. HiNote blew us away with their ability to capture the essence of her wedding. HiNote gave us an individual experience like no other paper goods company I have ever worked with. We love HiNote and we think they are just AMAZEBALLS!
Paper Daisies is an amazing company. The people who work there are a pleasure. I can’t stress strongly enough how much I recommend them!
