part 2 of my review
My Make-up-Jacquline Nicole. What can I say that hasn't been said........she's awesome. Mom, MOH & Me. All perfect. Worth every penny. 10+
My Hair-Jennifer-Fairytale Makeovers. She did a great job, my hair was a challenge. I really loved it, my Mom looked great too. Jennifer is very sweet. JN & Jennifer both arrived at my Hotel at the same time, they were very friendly to each other & had no trouble working together. I was truly impressed. 10+
My last minute details I found at the tri-county flea market-after debating on spending $200 plus on my purse & gloves I got real. I went there & got my purse, gloves, flowergirl wreath, hairpins & a few other things for $100. Really worth a visit. 10
Our Favors were made by my friend's sister that has a favor business in Brooklyn. They were worth every penny, I will post a pic & her info another time. 10+
Officiant-also a patient of mine. Reverend Juanita Hilsenbeck, I've known her longer than I've known my Hubby & I always knew she'd be the one. She allowed us to write our ceremony & make it unique to us. She added her blessings & spiritual touches that made it perfect. 10+
Ceremony & Cocktail hour music-Weissongs Orchestras(another patient)piano & flute for the ceremony, piano & sax for cocktail. Beautiful. 10+
Florist-Milleridge Florist, They only vendor we didn't 'know' and another one of my great bargains. Sheryl was awesome she never tried to sell me anything I didn't want. I took a lot of time designing what I wanted & she really made my dreams come true. We used some green Hydrangeas in October & they seemed to last. Very affordable. 10+
Photogragher-Spelman Studios, we had Christine & 2 assistants. I'm certain that we will be blown away by our pics. She made it easy & fun even with my complicated family. We didn't really have enough time but I never felt stressed. Hubby & I saw eachother before & I'm so glad we did. 10+
DJ-Spin Around Sound-Tom & James were great. I have never seen so many people dance at a day wedding, no lights or smoke. Just the songs we wanted to hear. On time, neat & friendly. We also used their video service, Fred taped nearly every move we made-I can't wait to get it. 10+
The Milleridge Cottage-WOW. I'm so impressed with how organized & detail oriented they are. Selena was our banquet manager & she really took the time to understand all of my details & how I wanted everything to be. Sam was our Maitre d, he is really awesome-truly caring & catering to our every need. He too understood my anal retentiveness & was able to make sure every tiny detail was just so. As for my bridal attendant-I need to call the cottage-her name was suppossed to be Jill-someone else came into our suite once during cocktail hour & I never saw her again. Our wonderful BM was a little tipsy & I think he asked Sam to give her the tip envelope marked 'Jill'. I'll let you know how that turns out. BTW I never missed the Bridal attendant because Sam was so fabulous-I realized the next day.
Our ceremony was beautiful, the cocktail hour was fun, the food was great, the drinks were plentiful & the place is beautiful & people were friendly & efficiant. I'm so happy with our choice & I think that the Cottage is a real gem. 10+++++
We got home today & had fifteen messages from various friends & relatives about our day & what a great time they had.
I'll add more later-if I think of anything.
