My wedding review with pics!! Now w/pics!!

I can't believe I am married! THe day went by so quick, but everything worked out great!!!

So...here's my review!

Westbury Manor- B
There was a little miscommunication that I was really upset about. When I called to give the final head count I was given the final balance to be paid.I was also told that the vendors would eat, and we would not be charged for them to eat. The night we went to pay and drop off the favors, etc.. we were told that we would have to pay for them, and then they did some punching of numbers into the computer, and if they didn't charge us for kids under whatever age,but they charged us for the vendors, we owed them an additional $20...but as an 'accomodation' they did not charge us.... so that had me pretty angry that night..There was no way that I was paying them anything additional.
As far as the wedding itself, everything seemed to go as planned! OUr bridal attendant was wonderful..she was always there with food and drinks,and asking if we needed anything. It started to rain shortly after we got there, but everyone said they had a great time! I also heard that some people thought the dinner portions were very small...but otherwise I think everything was good!

Duet Photographer -A
These guys were great. They showed up right on time at both of our parents houses and stayed with us until the very end of the night. They must've taken 1000 photos!!! They seemed to work as hard as they could from moving furniture all over the place, to standing in the wind and cold just to take some nice pictures!! I would definitely recommend them!! I cant wait to see our proofs!!

Burtons Florist- B
I absolutely loved our bouquets...they were everything I imagined!! But the corsages seemed to wilt away before the reception even started...and I was very disappointed with the centerpieces... We were supposed to have roses, calla lillies and hydrangea, and I did not see any calla lillies!! All in all the flowers were nice, I guess they just werent fresh when they were delivered!

Body Rock DJ- A
These guys were great!! Both the Dj & the MC did a great job.! They played just about every song we requested and did all they could to keep everyone dancing all night!! I would definitely recommend them!!

American Luxury Limos/Cruise Control- A
I was very happy with the Limo guys too!! They all showed up on time and were very pleasant to work with!! The guy driving us in the Rolls Royce was wonderful>>he prepped me right before I walked down the aisle and just made me feel very relaxed!! I would definitely use them again!

Mon Cheri Gown & Alterations-
The Wedding Center- A
I loved my gown and I got compliments on it all night!! They did a wonderful job on my alterations!! No complaints at all!!
