My April 17th Villa Lombardis Review-Updated with Some Pics

I can't beleive it is actually over, all of the planning and its done just like that! I had the most amazing day the weather was incredible, I think it got to the high 70's that day, or least it felt like that to me i was so hot!
Villa Lombardis-A++++++++++++, They did a phenominal job. I cannot beleive how well organized they were. Everything from the cocktail hour to the reception was gorgeous. The food was amazing and I just cannot say enough good things about them. I was truly amazed by the whole day. I would definitly reccomend them.

Photography ADA- out of 1-10 I would give them 1000. Tony was amazing. He truly held my day together. He showed up at my house a 1/2 early, which I thought was great and did not leave my side all night. When I first me with him he told me that we were a team and we truly were. He even brought extra people to take more pictures because he was training someone on black and white and I benefited from it because I will get some of those pictures as well. I truly cannot say enough good things about him. He was so prepared for evverything and everything. When we were taking pics at my house my dads button fell off and Tony ran over and sewed it back on with his sweing kit. When we went to the arbiritum he had pretzals for all of the bridal party because they were getting hungry. Little things like that just showed he will go above and beyond for the wedding he is working on.

Malkmes Florist- A+++++++ I am still shocked how beautiful the flowers came out. They were gorgeous. I was orignally going to do a dozen roses and they said they would split a dozen with me and I am so happy I did that. I had 2 dozen roses pink and ivory in low round vases (the name escapes me) and candles all around. It was truly breathtaking as were my flowers and the girls. Even the coursages came out beautiful. They do such a wonderful job. They set up my candles that I bought on my own cause Villa was afraid they wouldnt have time and they decorated my cake. All in all they did a wonderful job, even though they are not as close to me I would go to them from now on whenever I need to buy flowers for any occassion. They definitly earned my business.

Tommy Tunes: A+++++++++++++++
I originally saw them at an East wind and Frankie was the MC. At the time I made the appt I just made it with anyone. I am so glad that I pushed to have Frankie. He was so energetic and fun to be around. He kept telling me how much fun he was having with everyone, The DJ was Justin and when I went for my final meeting I met with Frankie and Justin came in with Cold Stone Ice cream, he walked in and offered some to my DH and I said no he cant have any, hes on a diet, joking around of course, so Justin proceeded to kneel in front of Tom and eat it. So at the wedding when they finally had a break and were able to eat Justin went out and got my DH a sundea. I jus thought that was the sweetest thing. They played great music and had the place dancing all night.

Patchouge Bridal Suite- C+ They were a pain in the arse most of the time. They lost 'misplaced' my dress for a while, and just were not the nicest of people at the front desk. Toward the end they were more accomidating with me so that is why they got the plus.

Gennaros Tuxedo- B- They were OK, only problem was everything was dirty so I made them clean or replace. Some looked like that hadnt been washed in weeks. They cleaned and or replaced so everything turned out fine in the end. Cleanliness is a pet peeve with me so that is why they only got a B- otherwise things would have went smoothly.

Oh I forgot to metion the videographer was sub contracted through ADA, I do not know what company he was apart of but his name was Mike and he was excellent as well. I had my wedding on Sun night and had my video back on Tuesday. He did such a wonderful job with the video so I give him an A++++++++ as well.

I am at work right now so i may be forgetting some things but I will go back and add to it as I remember. All in all I had a perfect dream wedding and I could not be happier with the way things turned out. I am so sad that it is over though! I will scan pics as soon as I get them.
