I have been trying to get on to share my day with all of you, but have been so crazy!!! We had the best day ever. Everything was just perfect and I could not have done it with out everyone's help. Thank you again. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our day. We took it all in, said our hello's and spent the whole night enjoying each other. So many of our guests told us that they had such an incredible time because we were having such an incredible time. So for my review:

Polinis in Smithtown for Rehearsal Dinner A
They did a great job, food was great and it is affordable.

Make-up Jillian from Gorgeous Faces- A++++
Jillian did the makeup for myself, my mother and all of my bridesmaids and we could not be happier with her. She was a pleasure to be around and we all just looked beautiful. I will post pictures.

Reception at the Watermill- A+
They did such an incredible job. I have no complaints. People are still commenting on the food and service. My only thing and this goes for everyone is to be careful of your minimum guarantee because we definitely got screwed with that one.

Limousines Royalty- B-
I must tell you after all of the recommendations I received about them I was very disappointed. The drivers were not nice and I got grease on my dress from there car before I even made it to the reception. I did call to let them know and they did handle the situation in a professional way.

Dress Demetrios at Macys in Manhasset- A
They did a great job I have absolutely no complaints.

Photographers JoVon- A++++++++++++
This had to be my favorite vendor. It was worth every penny and I have not even received my proofs yet but know they will be fantastic. We used Beth and Frank A. The photographers did absolutely everything for us. They were great to be around and once the reception came we would not have even known they were there. Cant wait for my pictures.

Videographer Magic Moments in Deer Park TBD
He was not in our way at all and I am sure was wonderful but I will update when I receive my video.

Music Dance Jock A+++++
Another incredible vendor. People are still talking about our music and there wasnt a moment where people werent dancing. They were even dancing when dinner was being served.

Tuxedos Apollo Tuxedo in East Northport B-
Another vendor I was disappointed with. The guys tux sizes were all wrong. Some went back and fixed them and some didnt realize until that day and it was too late. Wouldnt recommend them.

Florist Flower by Michelle A++++++
John was a pleasure to work with and did such a wonderful job. I was so happy with all of the flowers and cant wait to show you pictures.

Am I forgetting anything? We went to Aruba on our honeymoon and thanks to Jennbaby and a few others we had the best time but that will be another post. And Septemberbride03 will be posting pictures for me.
