Fire Monkey Hair design-A+
I got my trial done 3 months before my wedding. I looked through many styles and was unsure what I wanted. After hours at Dusti’s house, I have tons of hair, I left with the most stunning updo I’ve ever seen. A few weeks before my wedding day I decided I wanted something different that would compliment my dress a little better. Dusti assured me that we would figure things out the morning of the wedding and not to worry. She also reassured my mother that we would find an updo to make her look classy and beautiful. The morning of the wedding Dusti arrived promptly at 8am to begin creating her artistic masterpieces on 9 girls. Each style was more magnificent then the last. My MOH/Sister in law always has problems with curls staying in her hair and her hair lasted all night! My mother cried when she saw herself because she felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. Finally, when I looked in the mirror I was speechless. I looked like a model picked out of a bridal magazine. To top things off Dusti put a blue bobby pin in my hair to hold my veil in place so I was sure to have my something blue all night. Fire Monkey Hair Design is an amazing company and I am telling everyone and anyone I know to book them for their special day. Dusti you are not only an amazing stylist you are an amazing person and my day just wouldn’t have been the same without you there.

Glam Me Up-A+
I do not wear make-up on a daily basis so this was a challenge for me. I wanted to look like myself just “enhanced”. When I arrived at Kelly’s for my trial she had everything ready for me and was so welcoming to my mom, sister in law, and myself. She explained what everything was that she was putting on my face and how the airbrushing worked. I left looking beautiful! The day of my wedding Kelly showed up on time and ready to work. My make up came out even better on my wedding day then the day of my trial which I never thought was possible. When I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time it took my breath away. My mother, who also wears little make up, brought tears to my eyes because I have never seen her look more glamorous and stunning. Kelly, you were a great addition to my day and helped me bring tears to the grooms’ eyes when he saw me. Thank you for helping to make my day perfect.

Camelot-A+
We rented a party bus for our bridal party and family and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We were so comfortable! Eric, our limo driver, was on time for everything and I was walking down the aisle promptly at 3:00pm. At the end of the night we were surprised with a Bentley to take us back to our hotel. Joe, thank you for such an incredible surprise! It really was a great way to end our night.

************* Florist-B+
When I first went to ************* I felt so comfortable picking out different flowers and designs. Patty was very knowledgeable about what would look beautiful. The centerpieces in the reception room were out of this world!!! There are a few reasons why I didn’t give this an A+ like the rest of my vendors. 1. When we wanted to purchase vases or didn’t like certain things the woman we were working with didn’t take our criticism very well. She got defensive and tried to make us feel like we didn’t know what we were talking about and she was an expert. We were also told that we had to return the rented votives after the event and that they weren’t coming back to pick them up. 2. I don’t know if it was because it was hot but all of the bouquets and boutonnieres fell apart. We were told to keep them in the AC and spray them with water and we did just that. Then when we were taking pictures outside they just crumbled to pieces. Luckily my bouquet stayed intact though. All in all I wasn’t completely disappointed since our reception room was beautiful but I would have liked a more accommodating and friendly staff.

Lillette’s-A+
Carol found me the perfect wedding dress that I know everyone will remember. She also gave me recommendations as to where I could find a dress for my mother. I cannot thank her and the staff of Lillette’s that fitted my girls dresses perfectly!

Patken Photography-A+
I was nervous deciding on a photographer because I knew that there were so many places that overcharged and had ala carte packages. When I saw Patken’s site I questioned whether I liked their photography because I wasn’t so into the “sexy” poses. I decided to look at some of their work and booked them despite the sexiness I questioned. After our engagement shoot my mind was changed in seconds. John made us feel so comfortable and told us that he would never shoot anything we would be uncomfortable with. On our wedding day he was on time and ready to work right away. I gave him a bunch of pictures I liked from the internet so he could get more of an idea of the style I was into. He hit everything right on target and worked through the heat as quickly as possible. We were able to attend all of our cocktail hour. He also took us out right after dinner to get twilight shots! Those pictures are amazing!! Our videographer was Dan and him and John worked so well together. He found everyone on the dance floor and was just in the right place at the right time. Both Dan and John were always there when we wanted a picture but they were never in your face and overwhelming. It was the perfect balance to our amazing day.

Jericho Terrace-A+
Where do I begin with this? Hands down this was the best wedding I have ever attended. I know I sound bias because it was mine but that is what I’ve been told by many of the guests that were there. Our banquet manager Mike was there night and day for anything and everything we needed. We were greeted by Rosa and Danielle, our bridal attendants, as soon as we exited the bus as well as Jose our matre de. I have never had someone take such good care of me and reassure me that everything would get done just the way it should be. All of our belongings were brought immediately to the bridal suite and we began pictures right away. I felt like we were waited on hand and foot! This is not something I am used to and it was nice to be able to enjoy it. We were brought into the cocktail room before any of our guests and were able to see every little detail. Our fruit carvings stole the show along with our monogram ice sculpture. They even added in a sangria bar which was unexpected. When we mingled with our guests at the cocktail hour Rosa was with me every step of the way. She was always far enough away where I had space to talk to my guests but if I needed anything she was there within seconds. I didn’t have much time at the cocktail hour to eat so I told Danielle what I wanted and when I arrived at the bridal suite everything was there along with a giant table cloth to cover my dress so I wouldn’t ruin it with food. The reception began with a champagne march and ended with the best Viennese hour I’ve ever seen equipped with a cotton candy machine, popcorn machine, espresso station, chocolate fountain, and tons of other desserts. Jose kept everything flowing and helped my mom with all of the centerpieces at the end of the night. There was not a single complaint about any of the food, and there was tons, or the service. Anyone who is looking for a place to get married has to check out Jericho Terrace. I am honored that I had the opportunity to get married at such an incredible place.

Body Rock-A+
I was recommended to Body Rock by…everyone. Our dance floor was packed all night. We had a slight malfunction where their computer crashed but it was quickly fixed and the party never stopped. This is hands down the best DJ in the area.


Foresto Tuxedos-A+
My groom, groomsmen, and fathers looked so handsome! Dominic ordered samples of whatever colors we were interested in and let us take the reigns on what we had in mind for our wedding day.

Paladino Printing-A+
We had so much trouble deciding on an invitation but when we saw “the one” we knew it would set the perfect tone for our wedding. JJ was so helpful and helped us pick the perfect invite for our wedding day.

Thanks for the reviews! It is so funny that you picked mostly all the vendors I am picking! And I have the same reception hall you did! Jericho Terrace really is amazing!
