LIW – grade A++++++++++++++
I never would have been able to pull this off without LIW. I was able to review my vendors, and get support from some pretty amazing ladies! I am so glad I became apart of this community of “nearly weds” LIW was the most invaluable tool I had in this entire process

Vista Print grade A+
my STDS were great. I LOVED the bridal shower invites, and bachelorette party invites. They are afforadable, user friendly and everything arrived in a timely fashion. The quality is great.

CUPCAKE CATERING grade A
Favors for my bridal shower were done by www.?cupcakescatering.?com in massapequa. The favors were great! They matched my theme and colors (red,white,black and damask) They would have gotten an A+ but they no longer carried the lollipop cupcake favors that I had JUST gotten at the LIW Bridal shower- so I was a little miffed

BRIDES COLLECTION (by gartner studios) grade B+
DIY in this area saved me money, but not a headache. I give them an B becase the quality of everything was GREAT, and everything looked BEAUTIFUL – but the formats for the both my invitations and programs WAS A HEADACHE- I almost lost my mind while trying to print everything out.


ELSA - grade A
They made my wedding band, and they did a fantastic job. They are a little pricey because they only do custom work, and it takes several trips to approve each step. The end product is worth all of it though. I give them an A+ on quality of service, attentiveness, and finished product. I give them a B for thier crappy hours ( only one late night which is wednesday) and for how long it took from start to finish ( 6 months) I would recommend them, as long as you have time for them to do the great job they are capable of doing .


DAVIDS BRIDAL in MASSAPEQUA grade A-
I can’t complain about anything really. They let me exchange my dress for another one after I had buyer remorse. They stayed late until I found the dress of my dreams. They had a decent selection of veils. I wasn’t crazy about their MOTB selections, but my bridesmaids were able to get dresses they liked. I did have some problems that were not resolved concerning my 2nd dress, However the staff did do their very best to accommodate me, so I can’t fault them for that. Overall I enjoy my experience with them.

CAMELOT LIMOS- grade A
I got a fair price, they were on time. The limo was clean and looked great. The driver drove a little fast so we jerked to a stop at several stop lights, but he got us where we needed to be. I’d recommend them to any bride.

SIMPLY STEMS – grade B
my florist did an AMAZING job on my Centerpieces. They took my breath away when I saw them. They were even better then the samples !!She is a sweet woman, who didn’t try to push me to buy more, and worked with my budget.
However that being I didn’t love my own bouquet. I didn’t want anything but red roses, and she somehow managed to work in little white flowers and green leaves.She also failed to make my MOH’s bouquet more elborate then the other BM’s.It was a big oversight because it was my only way of making her stand out as my MOH and instead she got the same flowers (Gerber daisies) as my other BM.Being emotional, I cried when I saw my bouquet and my sisters bouquet... not a great way to start my big day :(

PAPA JOES BELLA VERDE- grade A++++
A bigger catering hall wasn’t in our budget. We searched high and low for a place big enough for 100 people, with good food and a dance floor. We found Bella Verde and FELL IN LOVE. My wedding reception was AMAZING. The food was great, the staff was great, the room was BEAUTIFUL. We did not have a bridal suite, or a separate room for cocktail hour, but we didn’t miss it at all. It sits on a the golf course, there was a beautiful view of the green. The weather allowed my guest to hang out in the patio area. The Maitre D was attentive and courteous.
I would HIGLY HIGHLY recommend brides who are budget to look into Bella Verde. My guest RAVED AND RAVED about the food and the staff. I would have my reception at Bella Verde all over again even if I had a bigger budget.

VARIETY MUSIC – grade A++++
I can’t rave enough about them. From the moment we met with them, to the moment they left my reception I was in love!Ray and Sal and everyone at Variety helped to make my day MAGIC. The music they played had my guest dancing all night. They uplighting helped give the room a sexy club feel, while the bi-lingual MC made spanish speaking family members not feel left out. Everything they did that night was PERFECT. I love them- and wouild recommend them HIGHLY TO ANY and EVERY person looking for a DJ company. Prices were great, they worked within my budget. They were attentitive to my desires and requests. Most importantly they played GREAT MUSIC. They knew how to “read” the crowd and just really made me so happy!!

PIECE OF CAKE EVENTS - grade A++++
Christine was great every step of the way. She contacted all my vendors and followed me around all day making sure all my needs were met. She was invaluable, and I know my best decision was to have her be my DOC. She and her sister bustled me dress, carried my train, cleaned the mess of mud I managed to get all over it too. She has everything a bride could need in her bag of goodies. She was organized, well spoken, thoughtful , professional, courteous, timely and cheerful. She always was one step ahead, and preppared for anything. It made me feel soooo better better to know that someone else was thinking of the stuff I knew I was forgetting. A++++++++++++ Bravo to piece of cake events

BIG APPLE PHOTOBOOTHS - grade B-
They gave me a great price, and the quality was really good. The attendant was friendly and the photobooth was in good shape. I give them a B- because they were impossible to reach the week prior to my wedding to confirm and give final payment ( my DOC finally got ahold of them) Several calls went to v-mail and were not returned ( come to think of it, I never spoke to anyone over the phone ever) After the wedding, it took them well over two weeks to get my gallery online, and I didn't recieve the DVD of the photos until almost a month later, and only after I reached out to asked what happened ( they claimed they sent it, and it must have gotten lost) Overall they were worth the money, but they need to be more on the ball and timely with everything.

MATTHEW ADAM PHOTOGRAPHY -grade A
the pictures speak for themselves :)

LEONI VASQUEZ - grade A+++
loved my hair and makeup
