My April 25th Fox Hollow wedding review with pics.

DH and I got married on April 25th, and it could not have been a more perfect day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was sunny all day long and in the 60’s. Even thought there was a minor disaster, it all worked out and it was the best day of our lives. Here’s our review:

Hair: Anthony Cole A+++++ I had gone for a trial about 2 weeks before the wedding and I wasn’t very happy with the results. I actually asked for some advice from the ladies from liweddings.com and everyone was very helpful and suggested I go for another trial with someone else at a different salon. 2 ladies here had recommended the Anthony Cole Salon in Bellmore and I chose to have a trial with Vivian, just a week before the wedding. I was thrilled with the trial and booked her for my wedding day. I arrived at the salon at 10 and was done by 11:30. The ceremony didn’t start until 7 at night and our reception was over at 12:30 and my hair stayed the entire day. I highly recommend Vivian.

Makeup: Beautiful Beginnings (Patti) A++++++ I had gone for a trial a few months before the wedding and I have to admit, at first it takes some time getting used to having more makeup on than usual. I really liked what she did and so did my family and friends. Patti came to my house the day of the wedding, she was on time and is a sweetheart. She even stayed around for quite awhile until I was almost ready to leave. I was extremely happy with the makeup on the wedding day and everyone complimented me on my makeup as well.

Flowers: Burtons A+++++++ I have nothing but good things to say about Burton’s. My bouquet, the girls bouquets and all the other flowers and centerpieces came out exactly as I envisioned they would. My flowers arrived on time, the centerpieces had the candles lit when we walked into the reception and they were gorgeous. Nice and full. I got a great price for all the flowers I needed and could not have been happier.

Videographer: Wild Rose (Bill) A++++++++++++++ I have loved Bill and Marie from the moment we met with them. They have always been available to discuss anything on our minds and have even been there to give advice, opinions, etc. I have always said they didn’t seem like the typical vendor but seemed like friends we have known forever. Bill arrived on time at my house and got lots of footage, mostly of me rocking back and forth since I was so nervous. He got my mom and dad talking a bit and got me to talk a bit to my FH. I also did the “spin” (wild rose brides will know what I’m talking about). Bill was very unobtrusive, at my house and at Fox Hollow. He was a life saver at one point of the evening, keeping me calm when the “disaster” happened (I’ll get to that later). He talked to me and kept me focused and assured me everything would be alright. I don’t know what else to say except I love Bill (and Marie of course)!

Photographer: VIP Studios A+++++++++ I don’t have the proofs back yet but John and Kathy also arrived on time and took picture after picture. They were very easy to work with, very friendly and it seems that they got many wonderful shots throughout the evening as well. The guys were getting ready at the Fox Hollow Inn and they even went to get some shots of them before the ceremony (as well as Bill). I can’t wait to see the proofs, I’m sure they are fantastic.

Limo: Coachman A+++++++ Arrived on time, beautiful very clean limo. The driver was wonderful and helped me in and out of the limo to make sure my dress didn’t get dirty. (I think his name was Louis). Limo arrived on time (actually a bit early) and was a smooth fun ride to Fox Hollow.

Fox Hollow: A++++++++++++ As soon as I arrived there was my bridal attendant Roxanne waiting outside for me. I asked if my FH was in the building and they assured me he was next door and I would not run into him, that he was going to call when he was on his way over. My maitre’d was Sandy and she was wonderful as well. The food was fantastic, although I didn’t get to eat too much, I did make it a point to at least sample a bit of everything at the reception, and all of our guests were raving about the food as well. We didn’t get to cocktail hour because of pictures, but they did give us some food in the bridal suite before the ceremony (the girls) and after we took pictures. All our guests raved about that food as well, saying they couldn’t believe how great it tasted and how much there was.

So my disaster happened at Fox Hollow, yet it wasn’t a complete disaster (and not Fox Hollow's fault). Roxanne was another life saver. 10 minutes before the ceremony, my junior bridesmaid accidentally picked up the back of my dress and flung it into a bowl of mustard. Yes, I had bright yellow mustard all on the back of my dress. Roxanne got some seltzer and did such a great job getting the stains out that even I could barely see them. Nobody was able to notice it and I was thrilled at the job she did getting it out. Everything went smoothly at Fox Hollow and the guests are still talking about what a wonderful wedding it was.

DJ: Invitation to Dance A++++++ We made a list of many songs we wanted played and they played most of it. MC (Keith) was wonderful, Dj was great and the dance floor was packed all night.

Fox Hollow Inn: A++++++ Although we didn’t spend much time there after the wedding since we checked out early, it was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful breakfast the next morning.


Honeymoon: Cruise on the Voyager of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) A++++++++ We had never cruised before and we had the best time ever. The ship was wonderful, huge, food was great (we gained about 5 pounds each) great excursions and friendly people.


I don’t know if I’m forgetting anything else, but if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I can’t believe I am a Mrs now, it’s the best feeling ever and I can’t wait to get the proofs back and start working on finding pictures and songs for our video. As you can tell I was very happy with all of our vendors, they all got A++++++, I highly recommend every single one of them. Well, I am going to attempt to post a few pics now that were taken with my digital camera.
