My 10/3/04 De Seversky Wedding
Ok I never did a review because this place isn't that popular yet but I think more people are getting interested in it so here it is:
De Seversky Center, Old Westbury:
This is an old converted mansion on the grounds of NYIT. They can accomodate around 130 people for a sit down dinner or up to 180 for 'mansion style' which is what I chose. It is a culinary institute so the food is very good. The house and grounds are breathtaking. I got the feeling that they were making policy as we went along because they were becoming more popular, which was annoying to me but shouldn't be a problem for anyone in the future as the policy will be set. I worked with Debbie, who was very nice and accomodating. A few minor things that could use improvement: the bartenders put out tip jars which was a big no-no; the bridal attendant did an ok job but could have been better; they served things I didn't order (although I'm almost positive that they did serve everything I did order).
Silver Fox Photography:
Awesome. John, the owner, is a great guy and actually showed up on my wedding day. My photographers were Frank and Ted. I think this link still works:

Atlantic Floral Decorators:
I worked with Sharon. I think she did an amazing job and for a very reasonable price. She knew exactly what I wanted. Only issue was they didn't wrap the bouquets the way I asked for but I got over it.
Denise from Angel Eyes (Makeup):
Denise is a real professional and she does a great job. I'd use her again in a hearbeat.
Timepiece (Franklin Wayne)-Band
They ROCK. I loved them and I got a ton of compliments on them. You won't be disappointed.
I think that's it-- please FM with any questions.
