Here are my top vendor recommendations! While you’re not required to hire anyone from my list, I strongly encourage you to consider them. If they’re not quite the right fit, just let me know, and I will gladly suggest more options that align with you...  At Mockingbird Lane, we carefully recommend only the best quality vendors. When selecting a vendor, there are key qualities we look for—standards that must be met before we feel confident putting our name behind them.  Here’s what we consider essential::  1. Would rather work with a planner (i.e. they don’t give pushback and make things hard for you.)  2. Appropriate response times (24 hours on any given day, 2-3 days in the busy season. Florists will always take longer given the nature of their work.)  3. Properly staffed with back up plans  4. Insured  5. Proper contracts, clear services, and expectations  6. Arrives on time, if not early  7. Develops ideas  8. Goes the extra mile for each event  9. Delivers consistent and reliable product  10. Clean and professional in appearance  11. Personable and relational  12. Provides education to each client  13. Doesn’t manipulate an upsell  14. Does not drink on the job  15. Positive vibes only (we don’t work with gossips, downers or high-strung personalities)  PLEASE TELL YOUR VENDORS THAT WE RECOMMENDED THEM TO YOU.  Even if you discover them on your own, it’s helpful for them to know we’re working together. It’s a win-win! :)

They have an amazing berry cream cake and can do a simple 8" and then sheet cakes in the back to cut! They do not deliver so you'd need a family member/friend to bring it to the Vineyard!
