Candy Buffet

Candy buffets are always such a welcome treat at any wedding or event. There is something about the thought of penny candy that brings out the kid in any adult. The number one thing about a candy buffet is don't skimp. Instead of getting caught up in figuring out how much your guests will eat, think about it as a decorative element. Make it visually appealing. This is where we come in. We specialize in candy buffets and color matching to your wedding. We deal in wholesale bulk candy. We have a variety of treats to select from. We will do all the set up. We rent our containers to save brides money. This way you are not stuck with tons of vases that you can't use after. We also provide you a large selection of bags, containers, boxes, and lots more!

Manzanita Trees

Yes, we sell and rent our customized Manzanita Trees. This is a signature here at Dot The I's Events. We enjoy taking a brides vision and creating a lavish centerpiece out of it. The beauty of the Manzanita is that each one is so unique. The Manzanita tree will always keep its trendy appearance. I don't see this tree going anywhere anytime soon. We use the trees for gorgeous custom centerpieces, wishing trees, and unique seating charts. Since each theme and event differs, it is important to get your tree customized especially for you. You will be able to choose from many different style branches, finishes, textures, colors, and size. We also offer accents for your trees such as crystals, flowers, feathers, and many other accents and bases.

Dance Canopy & Ceiling Canopy

Dance canopies & Ceiling canopies are such a wonderful touch to any event. We can customize any color, size, or decor theme. This is an inexpensive way to add that high end wow factor. Any brides budget can afford this type of decor. Fabric goes a long way when you want to make a statement. We can assist you in figuring out what type of canopy will suit your facilities layout and event theme. Our floral department can customize your flowers into the canopy as well. Make an appointment and sit down with one of our decor planners and get your canopy designed especially for you.
There is so much pretty in Katie & Victor's Wedding. I am in love with this choice of color pallet. The chocolate brown and teal rich tones worked wonderful with the modern clean lines the bride was looking for. We did have a few New England weather glitches along the way. Our plan B indoor ceremony took place due to rain. The canopy that was supposed to be out in the gardens did get moved in. But either way rain or shine we were in a spectacular facility The Aqua Turf. We had a lot of decor, floral, and fabric to take care of but in the end it was beautiful. Our bride and groom looked beautiful and so in love.

Nick & Ginger

I love the magic of a winter wedding. When fresh snow blankets the ground there is such peace in the world...that still holds true even for winter snow storm weddings. It is always such a pleasure to plan a wedding with such bling and sparkle. This was the ultimate in the "WOW" factor. Nick & Ginger were such a pleasure to work with. These wedding pictures speak volumes...Thank you Michelle!!! Not to mention it is always a blast to take part in an episode of "Who's Wedding Is It Anyway."

Is A Free Wedding Free?

Is A Free Wedding Free?
Ah so glad you thought to ask! Very perceptive…. As with most things in life, little is free and that which is free may often needs to be supplemented with something which is not free, if you get my drift. I specialize exculsively in destination weddings, so I am very familiar with the concept of the “free wedding”, and honestly can say that most every time there is a free offer of a destination wedding it is a very good deal but there are some associated costs, restrictions and upgrades. Most of the resorts that offer free weddings have onsite wedding coordinators. The wedding coordinators offer their services to you so that you will book your wedding with the resort and your guests stay at the resort a good deal for the resort actually. If there are free wedding coordinators at your disposal how or why do I have a business? Planning a wedding can be a very overwhelming event for most. When coupled with the thought of a destination wedding you are really heading into uncharted water for most couples there are many elements of a destination wedding and wedding planning which are unique to getting married far from ones home. The resorts coordinators are there certainly to assist but are again working not for you independently they are there only to maximize the revenue generated for the resort and not neccessarily looking to maximixe your budget, experience and fun… we work only for you our client and your guests, we want to take your budget and help you to spend it in the right places, we find when your resources are maximized and comprimised you will enjoy your wedding experience that much more. The resorts coordinators are overwhelmed in most cases and it can be difficult to get answsers and getting them takes far longer than you think. This is our job and our business to get the answsers so you can do your work and run your business and life, while we work out the fine details involved in planning your destination wedding. We begin by talking to you and listenting to your wish list of where and how you would like to be married, evaluating your budget and other practical matters like travel time for you and your guests to the destination as well as the travel costs associated with travel to that destination. Then we are with you personally each step of the way to insure that everything is done in your best interest and treating you like you are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. So yes, in all honesty our service is not free but what really is free?
Thank you to Janice from Destination Wedding Store this great post!!!!
