Updated with Proofs..My Nov. 5th Windows on the Lake Wedding..Updated

I am finally a Mrs!!! My wedding day was so wonderful. I never felt more happy in my entire life. I was on cloud nine all day.
Here is my review:
My dress- Bridal Suite of Centereach-B:
This was the only place I went to try on dresses and when I tried on my gown I fell in love. Some of the ladies can be a bit rude but the sales person who always helped me and came to the rescue was Amy. She is absolutely the best. They get a B because they did nothing wrong but nothing great either for me. No complaints overall.

BM dresses- Wedding center in Commack-C:
I will never go back there again. All though they had a great selection and wonderful prices, the service was stunk and it was always crowded. They ordered all my girls dresses 3 sizes two big!!!!! I had some girls who lived out of state and their alteration charges where huge because they ordered the sizes incorrectly. We had questioned them at first but they assured us the dresses run small and should us charts, etc.

Invitations- La Productions- A+++++:
Laura is the best to work with. She made my life so much easier with this. She guided us in the right direction and helped us select the perfect invites and a great price. She is wonderful.

Favors- Elise's Daughter- A+:
My maple syrup bottles were the talk of the tables. People loved these fall themed favors. Elise's was great to work with and they had a great price too.

Flowers- Roses and Rice- A+++++ :
My flowers were wonderful. They held up all day long, even in the heavy winds and looked amazing. Kathy was amazing to work with and made my flower dreams come true. MY cp were also amazing and when we walked into the reception I couldn't believe that my fall wedding had come true. She is truly amazing.

Limos- Friend's Limos-A+:
They should up early, which was great because we were running a little late, and there cars were clean and wonderful. My driver in the rolls was wonderful he cracked jokes to help me relax as I was a nervous wreck.

Video- Duet-A:
Even though I haven't seen the finished product , they were amazing. I hardly noticed that they were there. I am sure that my video will be wonderful.

Photos--ADA-B+:
I haven't seen the final on these yet either. They didn't get an A because I felt that we were rushed a lot. It got very overwhelming at one point and he seemed very demanding. Finally the Maitre'd told him to back off and let Michael and I relax and after that he eased up a bit.
I also think the final product on these will be wonderful as well.

DJ- 4th generation-A++++++++:
I love them! They made the party. People can not stop talking about how much they loved these guys and how they kept the dance floor hopping. They truly made sure all my guest hit up the dance floor and had great time. The success of the night belongs to them. I would have them DJ any party again in a second.

Finally :
Windows on the Lake- A- :
They were a little rough to deal with at times and my banquet manager Frank can total be the used car salesman, but in the end the gave me the wedding of my dreams.
The food was amazing, the presentation was wonderful. The staff was great. All my guests let me know how much they enjoyed there waiters and waitress. The view was perfect.
Like I said it was rough with them at times, but we made it happen and it was the most amazing, perfect, beautiful day in my life.
