Our Amazing 7-11-08 Floral Terrace Wedding, Thomas Paul, Tommys Tunes and many more with LOTS of Pro Pics
Well, July 11th of 2008 was the best day of our lives so far. Hope this review is beneficial to some of you or maybe you will just enjoy looking at the pics
Weather- a++++ I was so nervous about the weather for the middle of July and it was probably the nicest day out of the entire month. 80-85 degrees with NO humidity.
Invitations- A+ I found a bride on this site who made her own pocketfolds and I loved them. I asked her if she was willing to make mine and she said yes. We worked together through e-mail until we came up with the perfect design. She was amazing to work with and the price was right. Thank you Janine (neener)
Macys Bridal Salon by Demetrios A- I knew I wanted a Demetrios b/c every time I looked in a magazing my eye always went towards those gowns. I went to Macys in the Smithaven mall and it was the first dress I tried on. I found my dream veil and headband there also. Everyone I worked with was really nice and my alterations went great.
 
Tuxes, RSVP in Bayshore- A+, They were so easy to work with and everything went perfect with this shop. The guys looked great and DH was very happy witht he outcome.
Church- Our Lady Of Lourdes- A+, We loved our church so much. It looks a bit different than your average church but if you knew me and dh you would know we like to do things different than everyone else. The people involved in the church were so great and sweet and our deacon, Jack Meehan was better than I could have imagined. He was real and thats what we really liked.
Flower Michele- B. I love John at Flower Michele he is such a nice guy and easy to work with. My CP's were gorgeous and everyone loved them and I loved my Bo-k but my bm's bo-k's died before we even got to the reception. I was actually embaressed for my girls to make their introductions with their flowers. It might have had something to do with being at the beach inbetween the church and rh but still, I was quite upset.
Hair and Makeup by Oksana and Hair Genie- A, I had a lot of girls that needed both hair and makeup (10) and Jen and Oksana got to my moms on time and finished everyone on time. I love the work they did on everyone. Unfortunetly my hair did not hold the curls after our picture taking at the beach. It was probably all the wind and sweating but whatever I still think it looked good by the end of the night. I would definetly reccomend both of them
DOC- Christine Viola from EAP- A
Christine was a doll, it was like having a friend there with you on your wedding day. 2 weeks before the wedding I met with Christine and went over EVERY detail of my wedding. She called my vendors to confirm and go over everything we talked about. She helped me with tipping amounts and reaaly put me at ease at a stressful time. The day of the wedding she arrived at my moms house and immediately started haelping my girls get dresses and helping putting out all the food my mom ordered and even clean it up. She put my dress on for me and then went to the church to check on everything there and put the flowers on all the guys. When we got to the beach for pics she held my train up the entire time, I almost felt bad b/c I felt like she was my slave but I know thats what her job is and what I payed her for. I would definetly recommend Christine she was great
DJ- Tommy's Tunes A freaken ++++++++++
Dan was our Mc and he was amazing. We also had a live percussionist. We explained to Dan the week before the wedding that we wanted a club like feel to our wedding. Our goal was to have noone sitting down and thats exactly what our wedding was. One BIG party. We booked with them b/c a lot of our friends used them and I will say that they are better than any other dj I have heard at any other wedding. WE LOVE TOMMYS TUNES
 
LIMOS- ALL STAR- A+
We got a 14 passenger white stretch to pick up me, my mom, and my girls at the house. The limo bus picked up the guys and brought them to the church and then we all jumped in the limo bus to go to the beach and then the rh. Our limo driver was Tony and he was awesome. We got so hot taking pics on the beach and Tony snuck DH and I 2 beers to cool us down. The bus was insane! There was so much room and they were so clean. Love this company and you should definetly check them out.
Thomas Paul- AMAZING, not like you need me to tell you how great he is. He was my favorite vendor and not only is he a great guy to have the day of your wedding but his talent is overwhelming and his customer service surpasses any other photg. I had spoken with. My dh was getting sick of taking pics towards the end of the night and was getting a little bit of an attitude because he just wanted to enjoy his wedding and Tom totally understood what dh was feeling and even though he knew how important the pics were to me he made sure my dh was happy as well. Tom is the definition of a professional and I am so happy to have had him shoot my wedding and give me lifelong memories. Love you Tom 
And of course Floral Terrace- There is no score high enough for this place.
I worked with Arianthe and she was so nice and easy to talk to. When we originally booked we assumed we would have a lot more people than we did so the 190 people minimum didnt seem like a problem. Fast forward to a few weekf before and we realize we have 154 people instead. I was so upset but when we met with Arianthe for the last time she totally hooked us up. She couldnt lower the minimum b/c it is a one wedding at a time place and it holds like 500 people but she threw in so much extra stuff that we didnt even mind paying the extra money. We got an extra hour at the reception, martini bar with ice luge, and vienesse trays for every table.
I loved that this place gave out hot wash clothes for everyone to wash there hands before dinner and then after the dinner was served they asked every guests if they wanted seconds, it was unbelievable.
We had 2 maitre d's, george and george and I swear they did not leave our side. I never waited for a drink and if I needed anything they were right there.
This is a high class place with unbelievable food. They are not a wedding factory like some of the more popular rh's and I truely loved that 95% of my guests had never attended a wedding there and it was an absolute great experience for them. FT is like a hidden jem that not many people know about. I would recommend this place to the entire world. I am so thrilled with this rh that I wish I could use them for something else in my life. Who knows, maybe we will have our 25th wedding anniversary there

Did you take them from an online photo album, like kodak or snapfish or picasa? If so, they won't copy on here even though you see them on your own computer, save the photos to your desktop or upload them to an album on here, then you can copy the properties and insert web image (under the smileys).

I'm surprised some people can see the pics - I thought that all Snapfish pics can't be seen here anymore (I just see red squares too).
Great review, but no review of Floral Terrace?

Hey. I just read your wonderful review of Floral Terrace. I'm getting married in just over a year and seriously considering that location. I was hoping to ask you a few questions. Would you mind emailing me so we can talk?
Thanks,
Erica

I just booked my reception at Floral Terrace so it was nice to read your review. I have a quick question what is a DOC? Where do I look for one?

Re: Our Amazing 7-11-08 Floral Terrace Wedding, Thomas Paul, Tommys Tunes and many more with LOTS of Pro Pics
I am getting married at Floral Terrace next year as well. I absolutely loooove the place. When we first went in to see the room, my fiance came out with his eyes sparkling, which is very unusual for him. I knew this was THE place.
I have a couple of questions to the FT brides.
Is it every wedding that they ask the guests if they want seconds, or do you have to pay extra, or tell them in advance?
How was the food?
Was there a lot of food on the VH?
Any extra information and details i would greatly appreciate!
Thank You
