MY AMAZING MARCH 12 FAIRYTALE WEDDING!!!!
Oh boy - what can I say. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. I can't believe there were absolutely no mistakes, oversights, etc. It was truly like a fairytale and DH and I felt like a real prince/princess.
The predicted weather for the day was rain/snow showers during the day. I woke up at 7:00am and we did not see a drop of rain or snow all day. It was a bit windy but the sun was out. Now on to my INCREDIBLE FIRST RATE VENDORS - IF I COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN - I WOULDN'T CHANGE ONE THING OR ONE VENDOR. SUPERB!!!
HONEYMOON- Aruba. Radisson hotel. Pure Paradise. We bought an unbelievable timeshare while down there and will now spend the next 40 years celebrating our anniversary in paradise.
ROYAL BRASS - A+++ - Having the trumpeters outside while we pulled up and then afterward was fantastic. They sounded great. I walked down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary and they made me feel like princess Diana.
CHURCH SINGER- Jennifer Ware. A+++++++ Her voice is angelic. She honestly made our entire mass. 5 people asked for her name and number after the church so that she can sing at their wedding or thier chilren's weddings. TALENT is not the word for this phenomenal lady.
MAKEUP BY OKSANA- A+++++What else can I say that hasn't been said already. She is an extremely gifted lady and the nicest person you'll ever meet. All of my girls were happy and I was ecstatic. The colors she chose were perfect for each girl's skin tone and the BM dress, in general. She is the BEST!!!!
HAIR BY MYA - A+++++Talent. Talent. Talent. She created a different style for each girl and each mother. She was quick and flawless. My hair didn't budge all night long. EXCELLENT CHOICE - would recommend her to anyone as she was able to create a beautiful style on all different hair types, long, short, thick, thin, curly, straight. Unbelievably gifted.
DRESS - MACY's BRIDAL - A+- I was very limited in the stores that sold my dress (my dress was from a confined line and was only available ion 4 stores in the entire state of NY). They were professional and sweet. My seamstress was very nice and fixed the dress exactly as it should be (and I only needed 2 fittings!!!)
ROYALTY LIMOS - A++. Great Service. Very helpful and friendly. We originally ordered a 1947 cadillac for us and the Stretch Escalade for the bridal party but the 47 caddy was acting up in the morning and they sent us the 39 caddy instead. It was great. Even roomier than the one we had chosen.
FLOWERS BY BRIAN - A++. Centerpieces were beautiful. Church flowers and corsages were fresh and beautiful. The girls boquets were honestly the nicest I've ever seen and were truly AMAZING next to the dress color. My bouquet was beautiful too but the only complaint I have is that my bouquet started to wilt after a few hours (but it dried beautifully). I had all lavendar roses with stefanotis mixed in and the stefanotis started to wilt first.
PATKEN for PHOTO and VIDEO - We had Steve for photos and Evan for video. Both guys are extremely talented and very friendly. I'm not really into posing for a million pictures and Steve assured me that after we arrived at the hall, there would only be about 20 minutes of pics and the rest would be candid. He is a man of his word. Never did I feel he was in our face or monopolizing our time. I can not wait to see the proofs. Evan was great too. I never saw him hovering over us but everytime something funny happened he was right there to get it on film. Can't wait for the video!!! KUDOS to Patken for upholding their stellar reputation.
TOMMY's TUNES - A++++++++++++++
I can't even begin to tell you how amazing these guys are. Frankie, our MC is the greatest guy you will ever meet. He had our dance floor PACKED all night long and when I say packed you have no idea. My 86 year old step-grandmother was up dancing all night with her CANE!!!! DJ was phenomenal. No mishaps AT ALL and our motivator was THE BEST. He danced with everyone!!!!! He was so talented and amazing to watch. I'm truly disappointed that I will not be seeing these guys again. I can't wait to host a party that needs a DJ again and I am recommending them to ALL of my single friends. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. THESE GUYS ROCK!!!!
VILLA LOMBARDI'S - Saving the best for last
A++++++++++++++++++++++++
WOW!!!!!!!
I'm at a loss for words. I truly can not describe how unbelievable this place is. My wedding was two weeks ago and our parents are still getting calls from family and frineds who are telling them that ours was the best wedding they ever went to with the best food they ever tasted. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Beautiful, classy, professional. We could not have asked for anything better.
Honestly, if I could do it all over again, I would not make one change. My dress was a princess dress and my vendors made my day come straight out of a fairytale.
