Review Fox hollow, bravura, lighthouse, distinctive floral and many more

Let me begin by saying this site has helped me soo much! all thanks to fellow brides helping one another out. I am going to start my review from the beginning of wedding planning. sorry no pix yet but I will post when I get some more

BRIDESMAIDS

RK BRIDAL - A+
great customer service which i didnt expect. this is where we got our bridesmaids and mothers dresses and they were delivered on time alterations came out perfect and everyone looked amazing.

My WEDDING DRESS

KLEINFELDS- A+
My experience while shopping for a dress was like the show ' Say yes to the dress' fell in love with an augusta jones dress who happened have a trunk show that day totally the opposite of what i thought id buy but loved it. Alterations were done perfect

HEADPIECE AND JEWELRY

BRIDAL STYLES- A
I bought my earrings, bracelet and heeadpiece from here and it came out so amazing but just over my budget I felt they were a little pricey but other than that you will be very satisfied

FLOWERS

DISTINCTIVE FLORAL DESIGN A++
Words can not explain how I felt when I saw mine and the other girls bouquets and then the centerpieces later on in the night it was even better than I imagined. All the flowers were fresh and just perfect.we did half the tables as high centerpieces with hydrangeas, roses, lilies, blue orchids and some purple flower (i forgot the name lol) and then rest with the floating candles in blue water with blue orcids inside the water with the light under neath and flowers around it. Kelly was such a pleasure to work with so sweet and nice and wow so creative. I found their prices to be very reasonable.

DJ

Bravura Entertainment- A+
We had DJ Alfonso and Edwin as MC. They were a great team. They really had the party going people are still saying how they had so much fun and that was a great mix of music. I had told them soon as cake cutting was done to keep the music going dont wait for people to finish eating just keep the party going and they did it and was awesome. They both came to check on how we liked the music throughout the night which I appreciated a lot! They read my crowd very well. I love also having the zap photographer put the pics up on the plasmas that was fun! they also did the uplighting and wow did it make a difference in the room. we did magenta lighting then after dinner it turned to blue.

PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEO

LIGHTHOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY A+++++
Even though I havent gotten my proofs yet its too soon I know they will come out perfect. Lighthouse is by far our favorite vendor. Florio is an amazing guy and the whole time we were booked with them we didnt feel like a 'client' or 'customer' we felt like family. He was not available for our day but we had Gomer who was amazing and he is a perfectionist from what I can see having done the engagement and wedding pictures with him. The videographers were such nice guys who made me feel comfortable being behind the cameras. They took so many shots and angles and had great ideas I know my video and photos will come out great for the simple fact they have so much to work with. They took all the necessary shots we wanted and let us enjoy our wedding which to me was most important. Photo/videographers really dont get enough credit it is hard job They have to do things on a timely basis. So thank you lighthouse in advance I know you guys did an amazing job.

FOX HOLLOW- B++
I had my ceremony outside, cocktail hour in briar fox room and reception in the winter garden. The good parts which was most of it, the food was great everyone still cant believe how much food they offer and such great choices on the menu. The cake was delish!! we had marble cake with chocolate mousse filling yummyyyy. ok so for the things that bothered me, after i walked down the aisle and the pastor started talking we realized noone can hear him and why cause the microphone wasnt working right. it wasnt the dj who provided the mic and all that it is the hall. SO basically noone heard the ceremony except for the first couple of rows. I felt as if the reception seemed rushed but because I was the bride and all over I thought it was me but 2 other people mentioned they felt the same way and I hadnt mentioned how I felt. so it wasnt me. and finally some of the waitstaff. someone mentiond at cocktail hour one of the server were a little rude and another person said a waiter at their table which was where my bridal party was sitting said he was rude. and one waiter dropped a tray of glasses and one of my friends stepped on it and another waiter jump3ed back and elbowed my mom in eye by accident. she had a tiny bruise the next day. I know it seems this is a horrible review. but I didnt even know about half of these things until the next morning it was things most ppl including us didnt notice. But fox hollow did do a great job. unf you have no control over waitstaff cause you dont meet them before your wedding. As far as them dropping things I didnt stress because it can happen since the room layout is wierd the waiters hgave to go through the dancefloor with trays to get to any tables and with ppl dancing that is hard.but everyone is saying can you guys get married again so we can party all over they loved the food and the hall. those complaints i talked about were from 2-3 ppl everyone else had nothing but great things to say. i enjoyed every moment of my wedding I just wish I could relive it. a lot of people said thats the best wedding they ever been to.

My advice to all you brides is look around the room during your wedding and really capture every single moment cause it will go fast!!!! faster than i thought!!
