Mini Review/May 29/Coral House!

Honestly I have such fond memories of our wedding and honeymoon. Where do I begin. The weather was COOPERATIVE...Thank goodness.

Dress: A+++: The bridal Shop in Mamaroneck. They are willing to help and listen to you. Plus they are honest . Everyone loved my dress. I even had people from a different wedding taking my picture when we arrived at the hall

Flowers: Wicks Florist. A+++++The bouquets were GORGEOUS and the centerpieces were beautiful. When we walked into the room..OMG is all I could say.

Limos: ROYALTY LIMOS : Highest grade possible! These guys were 15 minutes early. Knew where they were going and so helpful in coordinating us that I just cant say more praises. Plus we had a super stretch limo for the Airport

Makeup was done by my girls and the photographer (who is bute honest loved it. So you dont always need a professional..but use MAC makeup. Its almost error free

Church: A+++ Bethlehem lutheran in Baldwin. The ceremony was simple and sweet with lots of personalization. Especially when our daughter decided she didnt want to keep quiet lol.

Video: DUET: We had Hong and we honestly didnt even know he was there until the end of the night when he was leaving. They stayed to the end and worked well with the photographer.

Photographer: Pretty as a picture. This guy had to take like 100 rolls. He knew what shots he wanted to get and took suggestions well. We have impromtu shots of us with the ducks by the lake which I cant wait to see.

THE CORAL HOUSE: A- I must say that I have heard so many reviews about this place. Some negative and it was the hardest aprt about coming on the board everyday BUT I must say that they went above and beyond. They planted flowers by the lake and since the weather was nice we made arrangements to have our guests use the rooftop terrace. EVERYONE LOVED IT. Especailly the dinner. Alot of people raved about the food. They were even a few doggie bags made I was told lol. When the Dj did not show as planned they tried everything to distract the guests such as serving dinner and by the time it was finished the DJ had arrived and we went straight into dancing. They extending the hoursThey are the reason I have specail memories and I really think not many halls would have handled it the way my maitre D did..so sometimes its not just about having a drop dead exterior but the people who work at the hall too

Ahhh..THE DJ: Johnny C promotions.The intial DJ was one man short and he was the one with the equipment. So we were without music for the first part of the dinner. I almost freaked out but the Dj who was already there managed to call a fill in and they saved the day. Everyone except a maybe 8 people stayed until the end and thensome. Begging for more. I was seen shaking my rump all night long and wish I was still dancing now
