6-15-12 Wedding Review: VIP Country Club, Bliss Productions, Gina Esposito Photography, NY Digital Memories, GEO Events/DJ Pete DiCaro, Doug Ferony, Bopa King Carre, Cress Florist, The Wedding Plaza..

VIP Country Club-Reception Venue: A+

The venue was so esthetically pleasing on our perfectly clear wedding day that I was in awe, even though I had been there many times before. The decor inside and out was so modern and fresh. The staff was beyond accommodating and could not have been more attentive. From stocking our bridal suite with drinks and food that we particulary liked, to finding a cell phone charger and running to the store to buy the guys packs of cigarettes, the service was impecable. The food was outstanding. Our guests were ranting and raving about the cocktain hour and the dinner was so tasty. Our cake was beautiful and so delicious - it came out exactly as we asked.

Bliss Productions-Videography: A+
The photographer showed up an hour early just to be sure that he would not miss the bridal prep. He was able to capture everything on film without being in the way. To top it off, he was so nice and got along great with my photographers. Super nice guy and easy going company. Can not wait to see the video.

Gina Esposito Photography: A++
Gina is a genius. She has an amazing vision for unbelievable shots that blow the mind. She is super sweet, loves to interact and joke with the bridal party and gets the job done all while having fun and smiling. Our engagement shoot came out amazing so I can only imagine what our wedding photos will look like. Grab a hold of this artist quick because she is booking fast...which is a well-deserved accomplishment.

NY Digital Memories-Photobooth: A-
The owner are super nice and accommodating, however, the attendant that they brought with them was not aggressive enough for me. At the end of the night, I received my guestbook (which was beautiful and color coordinated for my wedding) but it was less than half full. Too many guests were taking both copies out of the booth and not putting one in the guestbook. Because he was not persistant on putting one in the book, many of my guests did not sign anything and I have no record of them signing a guestbook at my wedding. The up side is that I do get a USB of all the photos and the booth did take video as well. Great price and awesome booth with props.

GEO Events/DJ Pete DiCaro-Music: A++
The music was off the charts and the setup was insane. Jumbo screens, a photographer to capture stills on the screens all night, uplighting, gobo lighting on the dancefloor, a DJ and an MC. They rocked it like Ive never seen it done before. People were dancing until the lights came on and had the time of their lives. I never danced so much at a wedding before and I didnt even think I would have a chance to dance at all at my own. Highly impressive and such a nice staff of people. They really know how to get the crowd going.

Doug Ferony - Dinner Singer: A
Very nice guy who was willing to negotiate timing and pricing during the process. His voice is amazing; a real crooner from another era. He is the perfect wedding singer for dinner or cocktail hour and worth every penny. He will play whatever you like and does it with a smile.

Bopa King Carre-Percussionist: A+
This man rocked the heck out of my dancefloor. He is the most enthusiastic percussionist I have ever seen and made every song 1000000 times better than it would be on its own. He even called me up at one point to play with him, which was super cool. He is also reasonably priced and worth every penny and then some. Such a nice, laid back guy.

Cress Florist (Little Neck Location)-Bouquets and Centerpieces: A+
This florist is a genius. From the first day that I walked in, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. Although the owner seems like he might be getting a little flustered with all the details, he writes everything down and they always go over everything with you when you call or go in. They have such a strong vision of which flowers will look best with your color scheme and type of event. My centerpieces and bouquets were exquisite.

The Wedding Plaza-Dress, BM and FG Dresses, Jewelry, Veil: B-
Though the store has beautiful items, they seemed to have sold me on getting everything in one place and although everything did turn out beautiful, they had my head spinning one too many times. The salespeople and seamstresses do not communicate with eachother and they seem to loose interest in you as it gets closer to your wedding date. They are highly unorganized, but like I said, everything did turn our beautiful. I just wish they didnt have me in a tizzy a few weeks before the wedding with mismatched alterations and different explainations from different staff members. They do have dresses that are hard to find elsewhere though, so that makes up for it.

Camelot Limo-Party Bus: A+
Our driver was awesome. She made all the stops that we asked for, managed to get us into a secluded area for private pictures even though we thought she would not fit with the bus and was so nice during our stops and rides. The pricing is reasonable and everyone I dealt with was really nice.

Red Oak Transportation-Shuttle Bus: A
The driver remained onsite for the entire night and drove our guests to and from the hotel at all times. He even made one last stop after our allotted time to come and pick my husband and I up at the reception hall. The gratuity is included and the driver was very nice.



DiRosa Haircare - Bride's Hair, BM Hair & Makeup: A+ All of my girls looked amazing. Each had a different hairstyle, yet they all looked great with eachother. The team at DiRosa is amazing from start to finish. Each girl had thier own stylist and makeup artist so that no one was left untouched during the process. My hair was exquisite...exactly what I had hoped for!

Will post honeymoon review when I return on July 5, 2012
