Mini Review

Hi Ladies.. Im married!

Had an awesome day and promise to write a review . I cant believe how quicky it all goes by.



Pedestals Florist-- A -
Awesome, awesome , awesome. Virgil was great to work with and flowers were gorgeous and really felt we got top notch service and quality for a reasonable price. They did not nickle and dime us at all which we appreciated, they made multiple sample centerpieces bc i couldnt decided between two types. Virgil was very accomodating and patient.

The bridesmaids bo-ks came out great as did the centerpieces, mine was beatiful as well. They did wrap my bo-k with white instead of ivory satin though-- even thoughht i sawthe sample the day before and caught the error and asked them to change it at that time, they said they would but never did.. they also forgot to bring the extra rose petals, but not the biggest deal, theyre great customer service and the quality of the bo-ks and flowers up made up for the mistakes.


J-o-v-o-n Photographers-- A -/B+
Worked with Dave and Telmo-- so great, so nice and so helpful. Real fun to work with all day and really took charge!

The photos of me and me and DH are really fantastic and I am very happy with them.

I am dissapointed in that they did not get photos of some of the details of the wedding and also that they didnt take alot of porttraits with my family.

All in all their service and quality of photography is great .. but I was a little dissapointed in that I thought there wuld be more variety of shots and shots of me and my mom, and dad, which there werent.

-- Besides the rolls not really having a working AC everything was very good. It has AC but it doesnt do a great job when its over 80 degress outside lol. JOe was great to deal with all along and all of the drivers we had were really really great, showed up on t ime, and were very professional and nice.


RK Bridal C+
My bussle broke, 5 minutes after it was bussled up-- and i had to walk around with a safty pin on my arse! and they didnt do my corset back correctly-- spent 45 minutes getting my dress on /trying to figure out what the problem was/undoing the entire corset back and redoing it.
Not happy with them at all as the most important thing to me was enjoying every minute of the wedding day and their mistakes took away from that when i had to spend 15 minutes during the receptoin fixing the bussle and was delayed with taking photographs before leaving for church since they screwed up the corset back! I didnt get a lot of pictures i would have wanted and it caused uncessary stress.
I am in the process of calling them and telling them how unhappy i am with this level of service. They are pretty organized with thier alterations appts etc but i would not recommend them or go to them again if i could do it over. I would go to a smaller place with better service.


Code Blue- B+
Although many of our guests said they loved the band. They didnt play alot of the songs my husband and I requested and did play a bunch of songs from a genre of music which we specifcially asked them not to. Everyone was up on the dance floor for most of the party having a great time so that is the most important thing. They were very professional and resposive throughout the process. But dont listen too much to what you request, they do their own thing which seems to work for the most part. The music/.people/ dancing seemed to die out at the end.. the last hour or so-- not sure if it was bc of song selection by the band or just bc it was getting late and people had to get going bc it was a far trip for many people to get back home. Like i said the night was a blur so I dont even remember what they played but we did hear some comments that the music selection and thus energy died out the last hour. Im bummed about this but again not sure if it was necessarily bc of the music. Many people said the band sounded fantastic and for the majorty of the party the dance floor was packed.

CeCe A++++++
Cannot say enough about this vendor.. Erika did my programs place cards and menus and did such an awesome job and was sooooooooo amazing to work with and sooo reasonable. Awesome awesome awesome


I almost forgot!
Venetian Yach Club A-
Everything ran very smoothly, and everyone was accomodating. They did a great job decorating the hall and making sure that things went well. The view is great and the food was plentiful and good. The sea bass was great, the filet mignon some people loved it and some said it was just ok. The penne a la vodka was delish. Overall the food was very good.

Guilio our BM was always nice and resposive and accomodating throughout the process.

I did have a complaint about my bridal attendant Suly . She was nice enough and helfpul in the beggining but basically dissapared during the entire reception and appeared again at the end. She wasnt around to help me when my bussle broke or to find my flip flops at the end when my feet just couldnt take it anymore. I was not happy about that and wasnt happy with her. I think that she was doing double duty as a waitress , although I was told that she wasnt, and that she was there for me, i just didnt realize it .. hmmm?


Westbury Gardens A-/B+
Gorgeous, but again since we were running a bit late and i thnk we missed alot of shots. PLus the mansion wouldnt let the rolls royce in to take a photo which i thouht they were supposed to and the reason we hired the rolls and endured the no ac . And one of the areas we were supposed to take a picture was being used by a different party so we couldnt get in. Again, I dont knwo if it was bc we were delayed or bc they overbooked?. All in all i felt we didnt get to use all of the grounds and they were strict about the time policy i thought they could be more flexible.
