my wedding review from new years eve

Dress and Veil: Cathy's Bridal A+++
Private Label by G. Dress was so inexpensive, alterations were perfect, seamstress extemely nice.

Hair: Josal A+++
Sharon did my hair and most of my girls hair. she did an awesome job and my hair stayed until 5am.

Church: Sts. Philips and James A
Father Brian married us wish he would have personalized service after all the times we visited him and for the cookies I made him.

Limo: North Country Limo/ Spotlight limo C
We got 1 10 passenger limo, a 30 passenger party bus that was awesome and a car to pick us up from the wedding. I gave them a C becuase the driver who picked us up at 2:15am seemed to be enebriated he was slurring his words and being rude so we chose not to go with him and ended taking the luxury bus instead.

Bus Service: H & J Bus A+++
Got a 49 passenger luxury van to transport guests from hotel to catering hall. The driver was on time and was very nice. awesome price no matter how many hours we needed them.

Catering Hall: Jericho Terrace A++++++++++++++++++
There are not enough words to say how awesome this place is. Michael Clauss was awesome on the ball worked with the maitre de Walter to see that everything was taken care of. Cake wasnt set up right but they attended to it before anyone could see it. The food was awesome, presentation, detail and staff was impressive. Family and friends have been calling saying best wedding they have been to.

Band: Current Affair Music A+++++++++++++++++
John from current affair was awesome, everyone was on the dance floor. sang opera and frank sinatra during dinner. had extra singer who sounded like barry white. lead woman was awesome. every song sounded like original. they were worth every penny and more. I have never seen a band so good. My Husband picked the band so i give him all the credit.

Makeup: Jacqueline Nicole
A+++++++++++++++++
Jacqueline was awesome she was on time and her happy self. She did myself and 6 girls. We all felt like models when she was done. She did two little cousins and they looked cute. My mother and mother in law looked 10 years younger. they chose the airbrushing and so did I.

Florist: Jack and Rose
A+++++++++++++++++
Jack is the most patient man in the world we must have met with him over 5 times and each time i changed my color scheme. He got it perfect to a T. He was attentive with detail and the flowers looked awesome. I love my bouquet. The table arrangement were so elegant. We ended up using the flowers the next day at the post nuptial breakfast. Mother in law still has some flowers and they are still alive. Jack also send 2 dozen long stem roses as a thank you. I thought that was awesome. Jack takes the time out and personalizes based on you taste. I was blown away at how he got all detail right. I gave him material from bm dresses and he wrapped bm bouquets with material. words can not describe how wonderful this man is.

Hotel/ Post Nuptial Breakfast :
Marriott Uniondale
A+++++++++++++
Carmela was awesome she constantly sent me lists of people booked. She gave us our honeymoon suite free. it was huge with a bar in it we ended up partying back at our room until 5am. She asked who we wanted to upgrade and the guests were happy. Breakfast was in the chardannay room. the place was really pretty looked like a glass atrium. food was good and service was excellent. room rates were reasonable.

Photography/Videography: Renaissance Studios
A+++++++++++++
We had a regular photographer and photojournalist also videographer. They did a great job after a while got sick of smiling. didnt even know josh was there the photographer took so many pictures. we get proofs back next week and video in 3 months.


Honeymoon: Sandals St. Lucia
A+++++++++++++++++++
We had the best time. weather was 87-89 degrees. food was good and so were drinks. we got so tan and had a great time. we did jet skiing, tubing, played water volleyball, played games to win prizes. we went to a manager cocktail party and won spa treatment for 2. Michael and i got full body massages. Michael loved it. also did beach olympics and they put fire out on my tongue. we have pictures. we also went snorkeling and that was awesome. we were suppose to go scuba but could not go becuase we couldnt pass the physical test we were to hung over from the night before so we went snorkeling instead. we met another couple who got married on the same date same church but the early wedding. we hung out with them all week and had so much fun. when we stepped off the plane to come home it was 2 degrees. I wanted to go back.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Bridal Reflections
C-
The girls were rude. when we made an appointment to get fitted they made the girls wait 20 minutes when it wasnt even busy. then when they went to get the dresses altered we were told they can come on a saturday as long as we made the appointment in advance i made the appt 3 months before and when i called to confirm they told us no saturdays except for out of towners. i had 2 bm from brooklyn and the woman said its a 45 minute train ride they need to come during the week. so most of the girls went elsewhere for alterations. plus they made the girls order dresses 2 sizes to big. lots of extra material and a waste of money.


Rehersal Dinner: Lotus East Chinese Food
A+++++++++++
food was awesome. they blocked off most of the restaurant to accomodate 50 people. the portions and selections were awesome. the service was ok but the food is unbelieveable.

Invitation: Demar
A++++++++++
Dina was awesome her selection was unbelievable and the her prices were so cheap. The invitations came in quick and were perfect.
