MARCH 24th Wedding Review ~ Leonards, Duet, Ultimate Sounds DJ, Invitations Consultants.com, Mens Wearhouse, Jasmin Florist(in manhattan), Esquire Limo
First of all let me say that my wedding was exactly how I imagined it. I didn't have any major disasters, the only mishap was that we left my beautiful unity candle at home =0(. But other than that everything else was good. So here it goes (I've added some pics I will post some more once they are all up loaded.
HAIR & MAKEUP - Aridio (My Cousin who owns his own Beauty Salon in Manhattan) A+
Not only did he come to my house and cleared his schedule for that morning, but he did a great job. The bridesmaid's make up macthed thier dresses and flowers perfectly. I Loved my makeup which lasted all night. My hair was exactly what I wanted. He also did my mothers hair and makeup and that also came out wonderful.
DRESSES - My dresses, the MOH dress, BMs dress, FG dress, and MOB 2nd dress Pinina A+
Pinina did a wonderful job with all the dress, all I did was bring her cut-outs of what I wanted and made them exactly how they were in the pictures. The material she used was awesome, the dresses were comfortable and everyone loved the way they fit.
TUXEDOS - Mens Wearhouse D
I was very upset with mens warehouse.... My brother got his tux in FL and he was the only one who did not have a trouble with his tux. My DH's tux had a stain when he went to pick it up and the shirt was missing a button. My fathers vest was missing a button, his jacket was too small, and his pants were too short, on of my GMs pants were too small. (These were all rented out of one of their manhattan stores) My FIL and BIL got theirs in SI and only had a problem with their shirts being too small. Overall after the mistakes were corrected all the men looked great.
INVITATIONS - Invitations Consultant.com A
At first I was bit worried about ordering my invites online... but I am very glad I did. I got the same invitations I feel in love with at the store for a fraction of the price.... and the paper quality was the same. I was very pleased with them and would use them again.
LIMOS - ESQUIRE B+
The Cars were all in good condition we got a Rolls Royce for us and town strecth car for the wedding party and a town car to pick us up. However the last driver who picked us up from Leonards didn't really know where he was going and how to get there, which I thought was pretty unprofessional.
PHOTOS & VIDEOS - Duet (So Far B+)
I say so far cause I have only received my proofs. Overall I am very happy happy with duet so far... aside from some small communication problem with the administration I have no complaints.
LEONARDS- A
For all ladies getting married at Leonards you have nothing to worry about. The whole process with them before the actual reception went really well for me. I always thought Ian, Antonio and I were always on the same page. I gave them instructions as to how I wanted the room set up, and they followed my intructions perfectly. My Bridal attendant and my Matire'd were great they were very very helpful, at the end of the night they helped my mother pack everything up and they helped us load the cars and everything. The only thing I was a bit upset with was that the bartender had a tip cup out, but other than that I was very very happy with Leonards. ( I did not have the Leonards cake, my mom made my cake)
Yasmine Flowers - A+
We decided to go with out local florist and I am very glad we did. He did an amazing job. He worked with our budget and I made sure the flowers looked amazing. I was very impressed by his work, like I said before he is just our local florist so I was a bit worried but he really out did himself.
ULTIMATE SOUNDS DJ - A+
Frank and Mariela were awesome! My goal was to dance all night and they made that possible for me. Mariela was our MC/ Entertainer and she was great... the dance floor was always full thanks to her great energy and spirit. Since I am Dominican and FH is French and Italian I asked Frank (the DJ) to please a have a good mix of both spanish and english music so nobody felt left out, and Frank did that perfectly. So many of our guest have been calling me saying how it was such a great combination of music. I just gotta say that I am really happy I choose them because I truly enjoyed myself dancing and singing along and I have them to thank.
