Here is my review of my June 4th wedding at crest hollow!!!

Okay I don't know where to start!!!


Michelle from Jason Royce - A++++ she is awesome. My hair came out amazing. It lasted all day and she did it the way I wanted it to a T. She does the most amazing updoe's in the world and she give's really good haircut's and blow out's as well. She truly did a great job.

Jennifer - A+++ she has her own make- up station at jason royce. She came to my house and did my make- up which came out really nice. She is a really cool person and she even tried to show spastic me how to do what she did, LOL!!!

Bill from Wild Rose - A+++++ He was so awesome. He really had patience with me b/c I am a demanding person when it comes to things I wanted him to take and he didn't get in my way at all. He was always there taking video of everything I could want in it. I have so much faith that my video is going to be amazing. Marie was awesome to deal with as well. She wasn't there but she is such a great person.

Steve from Patken - A+++++ He was also awesome. He took so many great picture's b/c I picked up my proofs already. He did everything he wanted and then some. I wanted many specific picture's that he took without any questions. He was quick and never missed a shot. I am having alot of trouble picking out only 80 for my album out of like 600 and something.

Cruise Control Limo - A+ Eric our driver was really nice. The limo was clean and on time. He even made me up a drink when I was getting nut's b/c we were running really late at the beach to do our picture's. The only thing I have to complain about is b/c we were running late they charged me $180 for the additional hour which I thought was ridiculous. If we wanted to rent that limo it was only $125 and hour and b/c we need it a little longer that day we had to pay $180. We had to run around looking for the extra cash in the limo. That upset me alot.

Morgan Park in Glen Cove - A++++ All I can say is that beach/park is amazing. We got some really great shot's there. They have the beach, park's, gazebo's, playground's, lot's of stone which is really pretty. It was just breathtaking.

Flower Michelle - A+++++ John is just awesome. He is such an amazing florist. He knew from the second I explained what I wanted and got it right. He was so reasonably priced and just a great person. My centerpiece's came out so great. They were beautiful. So many people complimented me on them.

Precision Sound DJ - A++ Doug who is the owner is a friend of mine and he did a great job, He brought the big screen tv and did a really nice photo montage. Hector the mc was really great. He got people up dancing that I never thought would. My only complaint is that they could have been a little bit more organized. I had to tell them a few things that they already knew but nothing that bad and everything went pretty well.

CrestHollow - A+++ Everything went just about perfect. From the moment I got there and my bridal assistant and someone else helped me with everything. She wouldn't let me do a thing. We were running a little late so when we got there I didn't have much time to relax b/c we had to do our family picture's which ran right into my ceremony.

Everything at the ceremony went beautiful I think, I don't even remember the day went by so quickly. Kathy who was not my bridal assistant but another lady who was there helping me, was a godsend. My daughter was quite the cranky one and she was holding her and gave her candy and got her to take picture's when I couldn't even do that. Kayla walked down the isle and threw flower's from what I have heard. Everything went quick and smoothly.

I didn't get to spend much time at the cocktail hour b/c we still had picture's to take but the food set up looked nice and everyone that was there told me it was really great.

The reception was really awesome. Everything looked absolutly beautiful. The centerpiece's, the table's, the chair covers, my dais and everything else.

The few bite's I took of the food seemed good, and everyone told me the food was excellent which is good. My maitre'd was awesome he really had everything organized.

Carmela's bridal garden - A+++ My girls dresses were really great. Carmela was really nice and very helpful and her price's were really good.

Macy's manhasset - A+++ They were helpful and my dress came out gorgeous. I have nothing to complain about. There prices were a little high but nothing unreasonable.

After Hours Tux- A++ They tuxes were all ready on time and they had no problems so that was good and the price's were reasonable.

Invitations by Dina - A++ She was really nice and very helpful and her price's were great.

La Primavera Restaurante in Hicksville - A++++ I had my shower and my rehersal dinner there and everything was great. The food is amazing there and I love the staff they are really good to me. I recommend them for anything especially just a romantic dinner for two!!!

Dawn from Cruise One - A++++ She is a LIW vendor and I highly recommend her. She was very patient and very helpful with booking my honeymoon. Everything was wonderful and I had no problems with anything when I got to hawaii. She is a really nice person to deal with, and she had great price's too and I looked around!!

Overall my day was amazing. The weather was so perfect and everything was just perfect. I will post my proofs as soon as I get a chance there we so many of them!!

HONEYMOON!!!!!!!!!

We took american airlines both ways and everything was fine. I recommend on a long flight don't go coach. I was not comfortable at all but I tried to sleep most of the way.

When we got to maui we rented a convertable and it was nice, alot better than a compact car. The guy at alamo didn't really give my dh directions so when we left we stopped at a gas station and the lady told me how to get to the hotel except you can't get there for a few hours. Now I am tired and I just want to relax from my long flight. So I am like *** (not really those words) but I was like why not. There was an accident on the only road that takes you down to the hotel at like 2pm now being like almost 4pm I was like well why can't we go now. There was a fatality and they dont' have a corener on the island so they have to fly one in and the road stays closed till it's all over. So I called the hotel and they recommended some stuff to do on the side of the island we were on.

Mama's Fish House - A++++ Let me tell you how amazing that food is. It is very expensive but well worth it. I had the lobster and steak and it was just so good I can still taste it. I definatly recommend going there if you are in maui. It is in the town of piai which is only like 10-15 from the airport.

Hyatt Regency Hotel in Maui - A+++ That hotel was so gorgeous. Aside from being expensive but I noticed that is all of hawaii, the grounds, the pools, the hotel was just great. The staff was nice and the food was great.

We took some tours and did lots of things. First the luai at the hyatt was good but not what I expected. I think of a luai as a bunch of people on a beach with hula skirts and lot's of fire. It was done on a stage and I wasn't very impressed.

We went parasailing which was so much fun, I loved it, we used a company called ufo right on the beach a few hotel's down from ours.

We got massage's right on the beach in these little cabana's and they were just awesome, definatlly do that if you have a chance.

We took the road to hana on a tour bus. It was a really long day. They picked us up at the hotel at 7:30am and we didn't get back till 6:45pm. It was really pretty. We saw some really great waterfalls, lots of wildlife and forests and just lot's of great things. Alot of people drive it themselves but I don't recommend it. It's just a long day and you get very tired and some of those cliffs you are driving on I wouldn't drive if I wasn't completly awake.

We saw Warren and Annabel's magic show and that was so funny, not only was he a great magician he was also a funny comedian. That was done on front street if anyone wants to go it was a great show.

They have a Tony and Tina's wedding at the hotel and it was really good. I never saw it in new york so I have nothing to compare but the whole concept was really great and the actors did a great job.

We took a tour up the haleaka (can't spell) crater to see the sunrise. They picked us up at 2:45am and we drove up a 10,000 foot volcano only to see fog, and we never saw the sunrise. I saw picture's and it looks amazing but we went on one of the foggiest days and never saw the sunrise so that was a big waste and disappointment.

We did a sunset dinner cruise that was really nice. The food was pretty good and we saw dolphin's and the sunseting was beautiful.

Hyatt Regency in Kauai - A++++ What an amazing hotel. They have so much property and it is just breath taking. They have salt water lagoons all over and pools and it was just beautiful.

We took the capt andy's tour up the napali coast. That was great, we saw some beautiful sites and we went snorkeling and we saw sea turtles, it was really nice. Other than that we just relaxed in kauai drove around and ate really good food.

Sesame Place was the end of our honeymoon that we took our daughter. It was so much fun as usual, dan and I had more fun then kayla I think since we are big elmo and cookie monster fans. We went with other people so it was alot of fun!!!

My overal experience of my honeymoon was just awesome!!!
