Hi ladies!

I was told about this site recently. Is anyone as nervous as me? What photographers & videographers are good yet reasonable? Which florists are good? DJ's? I need advice!! Thank you!

Re: Hi ladies!

Hello! Welcome and congrats! Check out the Brides Review section to start. You can find great information about all of the vendors that brides have used. My personal favorites are:

Photography: Duet and Thomas Paul
DJs: After Hours and FM Entertainment

Haven't looked at florists yet, but some popular ones are: Verbana, Flowers by Rose, Flowers Michelle, Flower Barn, and Burtons.

Hi and Welcome!

I'm using Proline for photo and video. FM me if you want more info. As for DJ, I'm not really sure because I booked a band. If you're looking into bands at all, Code Bleu is awesome.

For florists, a lot of girls are using Burtons, Pedestals, Flowers by Brian, or Flowers by Gina. I have a personal contact so I'm going with that.

Re: Hi ladies!

Hi.. Welcome to the craziness that is LIW! :)

My photographer/videographer is Madison Avenue in Hicksville. They are very reasonably priced and do amazing work!

I am using Flowers by Gina as my florist. She is super nice and creates beautiful arrangements.

I'm not 100% sure what DJ we are booking yet.

Good luck and happy planning!
