My Bridal Review! Pedestals, Temple Sinai, Dynamic Entertainment, Maximus, Always in Style Limos, Kleinfelds, Sandys Shoes etc.
Hi Everyone...I am going to make this as short and simple as possible haha. Please note: I have some pictures in my album but will update once I get some professional pictures!
Maximus in Merrick= A++
We started out our day at Maximus in Merrick... Janine did my makeup.. it wasn't airbrushed but it was perfect! She was amazing at making my skin look flawless... it lasted for 12 hours!!
Missy did my hair... she used to work at Maximus.. now she works at beautiful people salon in merrick.. She did an incredible job.. my hair didn't move all day. she is the master at giving you a non prom-like curl!! I love her!
Tuxedos- Sal’s Tuxedo in Massapequa= A+++
The men looked unbelievable... Sal's was an awesome place to go. Great customer service.. very reliable.. everyone looked awesome! No complaints! I had some larger men in the bridal party and some young boys and they all matched and looked great! Support your local business owner!

Dynamic Entertainment- A++++++++
Holy crap... they did an incredible job! The DJ, Emcee rocked out! They listened to any directions I threw their way. The music was great! Our horah was a hit! We also had a percussionist and Sax player through them. We used them for lighting and plasmas and a photobooth... NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER! The dance floor was packed out the whole night. IT really felt like we had a 10 piece band! The set up was also unlike any other DJ company.. really elegant and classy!

Phone number is 516-799-0808
Seriously.. call them for your upcoming wedding!
Always in Style Limos= A+++
We got a beautiful, new white 32 passenger party bus and an amazingly gorgeous Rolls Royce through this company. Anthony was great to work with... the vehicles were in top condition with working AC and very very clean! (Which is super important when you're wearing a poofy white dress! ) They were also there early which was great! They were reliable!!!
They are located in Massapequa as well!

Temple Sinai= ( V & Z Caterers) A+++++++++++
Vincent and Mary exceeded all of my expectations (and they were pretty high) They were great to work with down to every last detail. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was especially the cocktail hour and Viennese.... People said they have never seen so much dessert in their lives! Vincent worked with me every step of the way making sure I was happy throughout the night. And PS--- when they say top shelf.. they mean TOP SHELF.... Patron, Grey Goose, High end scotch and whiskey.. it was no joke! I literally wouldn't have changed a thing. Also I must say I actually did get to eat even though I was the bride and the Chilean Sea Bass was probably the best fish I have ever tasted! Holy cow! The sanctuary was beautiful and the rooms looked great for the cocktail hour and reception. I highly recommend this to anyone. Feel free to message me with any other questions! So many of my non jewish friends were in awe of how beautiful and fun a temple wedding could be.
Flowers- Pedestals (Nadia) - A
Everything was really beautiful. The bouquets came out literally incredible.. I cried when I saw mine... it really exceeded my expectations! The centerpieces looked great... the only thing was that they forgot my crystals and submerged flowers on the high centerpiece but it didn't ruin the overall look that much. Everyone was really loving the chuppah as well! Nadia was a pleasure to work with and really understood my vision. I would highly recommend them!
Shoes- Badgley Mishka-Lord and Taylor=A++
They actually stayed on my feet all 12 hours... i didn't take them off once! Incredible!
Bridesmaid's Jewelry and Accessories-(presents)- Sandy's Shoes Massapequa=A+
Amazing Experience! Caroline helped me pick out everything. She was awesome. This store has every dyeable shoe you can think of and every clutch, bracelet, earring etc! Everything looked beautiful and it was affordable!!!
It's located in Massapequa on Sunrise Highway right next to IHOP!

Dress= Kleinfelds- Pnina Tornai=A
I got my headpiece, veil, blusher and dress from Kleinfelds. They were extremely professional, reliable, and easy to work with. The bustle was pretty complicated because it was a complicated dress but everything worked out in the end. Pnina herself fit me for my dress. She was a sweetheart and boy is she talented.... I think every person at my wedding complimented this gown! I have zero complaints... it was just heavy but beauty is pain!
Fade to Black NY -Gil-Videographer- TBD
Gil's guys arrived on time to my moms house and was with us all day long. They were prompt and polite. Gil took over for the ceremony and reception and was very nice as well. I will let you know what I think once I get the video!

Turn Loose the Art- Britney and Joe- Photographer TBD
They are extremely talented... I've seen their past work and can't wait to see how our pictures came out. They were with us all day and definitely took a lot of pictures!

Thomas Knoell- Earrings
Thomas custom made my earrings to match the crystal on my dress perfectly. It was the only accessory I wore other than my rings and headpiece. It worked out beautifully!!!
Art Strings Ensemble- String Quartet we hired for ceremony and cocktail hour was awesome! I highy recommend this company.. they even have a very user friendly website so it's easy to hear samples of all their songs... and they were affordable and arrived early as well!

Bridesmaid Dresses/Flowergirl Dresses/Jr BM dress etc. B+
We got our dresses mostly from Wedding Center in Commack but a few we got from Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. My only complaint is that whoever measured my girls at the wedding center totally ordered dresses larger than necessary. Crazy alterations were needed which ended up costing my girls a lot of money. Overall the wedding center would beat any price though so its up to you on if its worth it. Also my aunt did the alterations so I dont know what their alterations look like.

loved your review! Your gown fit like a glove, and your hair was amazing!How did you like the Wedding Center for BM's besides being ordered large? Did you need an appt to go try them on with a group? I dont know anything about that shop, but I hear mixed reviews on here.

The wedding center was fine... they were helpful... its not a fancy place.. i went in knowing exactly what i wanted... bruoght the girls there to get measured and saved a lot of money by ordering through them and not bridal reflections... i would suggest second guessing their measurements though... the dresses all arrived early.. no complaints...and for temple sinai... people are still talking about everything and how nice it was... you won't have any worries!

Thanks so much, I'm so excited to hear that. We are having our ceremony in the garden at Temple Sinai and reception in the ballroom, I love how beautiful it is. How were the other things they had for you that day, bridal attendent and any other things they did for you?
