Re: HI! New..sort of

Welcome!!! You can totally pull this together. Just take a deep breath and get cracking Do you have your dress yet? If not, get on that right away since it will need to be a rush order. For flowers, I second whoever said Burton's - they're great! Flower Michele and Pedestals are also excellent. I don't know if you want to go the band or DJ route, but 3 good DJ companies to call are High Energy Entertainment, FM Entertainment and High Voltage.

One piece of advice - especially with limited time to put it all together, GO WITH YOUR GUT. Doing vendor searches on here is really helpful in getting an idea of who's good (esp when you can see pics of their products) but other people's reviews shouldn't totally make up your mind. Meet with at least 2-3 vendors in each category and make sure that you are 100% comfortable with every person you book. If you don't feel that, don't feel pressured to book just because you are under the gun. Good vendors will work with you and even cut you a break on pricing this late in the game - if you are feeling pushed into something by someone who says the date will be gone if you don't sign NOW, don't be afraid to walk away if it doesn't feel right.

Good luck!!!

Re: HI! New..sort of

Don't worry...I'm in the same spot...we just booked less then 2 weeks ago for this Sept!! I haven't slept yet, but it will all get done!

Re: HI! New..sort of

Congrats on everything.
I agree about the dj's suggested. Reviews for FM and High Voltage have been excellent.

As to dresses, I think you can buy off the rack at David's - - and if you need alterations based on reviews here go somewhere else. Also Estelle's has some selection and you can buy off the rack there too. Yesterday someone mentioned that Jessica Mclintock has store at Roosevelt field and has some. There is web site if you want to look at styles - - I think they are simpler dresses and prices on web around $300. I think RK Bridal in city may also be off rack too which might be less stressful than doing rush order from other shops.

Flowers - - reviews are also good for Verbana and designs by Rose
