Re: My VENDOR REVIEW AND SOME AMATEUR PICS FROM MY 1/25 WEDDING!

The dance floor won't be a problem but I'm not sure if you can fit all 200 people in that main room and you might have to use the small room as well, which I wasn't too happy about. We had 190 people. From what I hear, it makes some people feel a bit cut off from the rest of the party.

As for making it a great day, I worked with Carmela and she was awesome. Our maitre d' was also top notch. These two will definately make sure things run smoothly, so I wouldn't stress it too much.

If you FM me your e-mail, I can give you the table layout they gave me for seating.

Everything looks wonderful!! But by far the best thing is that great GRIN you have in most of your pics! It's fantastic that you really enjoyed the day!

Good luck!

Re: My VENDOR REVIEW AND SOME AMATEUR PICS FROM MY 1/25 WEDDING!

I can finally review my photographer and post some of his shots.
Overall, I'm happy with some of the candids, especially the reception shots of our guests. I was disappointed though, that there were some KEY shots that he missed. He didn't get as many 'emotional' shots of our first dance, and I wasn't happy with the fact their were very few nice ceremony shots and I didn't like ANY of the cake cutting shots. I had my hopes WAY UP because we received so many aweosme 'amateur pics' In all honesty, I was happier with the first dance shots that Stef (Sonicstef) took and the cake cutting shots that were snapped by the table cameras. Oh, well. I guess you can't have it all, but for what we paid, I feel like I have a right to be somewhat disappointed.
We used Sam LaHoz from Bill Fredericks.
Grade: B-

Be back with pics...
