I'm MARRIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A QUICK REVIEW !!!!!

Pre Weddiing

Wingate Inn - Garden City - A+
They were very occomodating. We have a huge BP, and all stayed at the hotel. The staff here is wonderful, and the place is awesome. I am now in the business center chatting with you all. That alone deserves an A

Jacqueline Nicole - Makeup Artist - A+++++
She is so talented. I love this woman. She made each and every one in my BP look fabulous. She listened to what we wanted.
She came to me at 4:45 am. She was there bright and early and bright-eyed. She was patient with us, and stayed till we left the hotel. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

Celis Unisex Beauty Salon - A++++++
What can I say? Every one of my girls hair was knock out drop dead gorgeous. The stylist name was Leiny, she opened shop for us at 5 am, and did all the girls one by one, and perfectly. She was quick, yet Perfect. She is so talented.

Go back to your HUSBAND right now woman, I told you not to get on, I would have sent you the links. You are so bad. Thanks for letting us share in your day. Hubby and I had a ball. We love you and wish you and Len lots of happiness together.

He enjoyed the first 1/2 of his b-day with you, celebrating your union.

Janet King Harpist - A+
She was great. Her music was so beautiful, just like I imagined. I cannot wait to see the video to see everything again and again

All Star Limos - A+++
They have been awesome since the day I booked them. This week I drove them crazy with the phone calls.
Never fear, they arrived at the hotel 1/2 hour early, and were awesome with my huge BP (5 limos )
They were extremely professional. The cars ran smoothly and were impeccable.
At the Old Westbury Gardens, the driver Tony was very helpful and wonderful.

Old Westbury Gardens - A++
When we arrived, it was drizzling. I insisted we proceed as planned. From the minute we got there, we were ushered in and out perfectly, insuring the least possible rain on me. They really took excellent care of us, and I'm sure the pics will be gorgeous.

Cassarino Studios - A+
I want to say that Nickolai our photographer was so patient with my BP, as most of my vendors were, but also so talented, and I know he got some great shots.
To explain why we were missing for so long.
At the ceremony, we had a hard time getting everyone together for the pics.
ALso, we started 1/2 hour late, and Len and I were rushing to get to Old Westbury Gardens, before the rain hit, so Len and I are the ones who decided not to finish taking all the pics, and that we would continue at CB during Cocktail hour.
But since we were already late, and the rain started, we were at the Gardens quite a while.
When we arrived at CB, cocktail hour was just about done, they extended it for us by 15 minutes to allow us to prepare for our entrance.
So we had to take a break during the reception to get all the formal family and BP shots in.
Len and I made the decision to do this, b/c we knew we would regret not having them later on.
Len's family is HUGE, and that took a while getting organized, but I think it was all worth it, when I got back, everything was running smoothly, and I heard the guests were having a blast.

Entertainment Integrators - A+++++++++++++
I can't believ how they got everyone in the mood and dancing all night. They played a wonderful variety of music all night, and all of our must have lists. THey were worth every single penny we paid and more. They were truly off the hook.
Most of my guests told me they never saw such an awesome DJ. I was so happy that my guests were kept entertained all night. Ernest the MC(and owner) was magnificent. Truly talented. EI knows how to throw a party.

Wedding center of Commack - A
MY dress was altered perfectly. Gladys the alteration lady, was awesome to me and my girls each and every time. All the dresses came in with no problems, and as schedule.

Flower Den - the flowers were gorgeous. My bridal bouquet was so pretty - I ccouldnt believe my eyes. I wanted to cry when she delivered my personals to the hotel, because they were so beautiful. It was a big job, and not one thing was messed up. The flowers were fresh, and the prices were the best.
The alter arrangements were beautiful, and our Pastor even commented how beautiful they were, and how much he love them.
Gigi is truly magnifent to work with.
She also supplied the flowers for the cake. Again, very reasonably priced. My sister couldn't believe the price she got for the flowers.

My sister - the Cake artist
I have to shout my own sister out, b/c she honored my Mom so wonderfully and gave me a DREAM CAKE. We got so many compliments, and I almost cried again when I saw how gorgeous my cake was, and how much work she had to had done to make it so perfect.
The pics will tell it all.

CM Productions - A+
I have to give them an A+ even tho' I was not there b/c many of my guests told me how impressed they were by Steel band drummers.
I will see for myself in the video.

Re: I'm MARRIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A QUICK REVIEW !!!!!

Wild Rose Video - Bill - A+++++++++
I don't even care that I didn't see my video yet, I already know it will be awesome.
Unobtrusive, and extremely talented. He was right with us at the Gardens, and it was so wonderful to see Bill in action. You could 100 % see his brain working, and how cool it was when he got a vision of something, and would shoot it, or tell us to do something. I can't wait for this video, b/c I know he will have tons of surprises for us.
He is simply put, the BEST.

I want to give a special shout out to Bill and Nick(from Cassarino) b/c the both of them were great at the Gardens, both got wet for us, and really took ownership and charge of the whole rain situation, and they worked wonderfully together.

Chateau Briand - A+++++++++
They went above and beyhond the call of duty to make sure our day was perfect no matter what.
The Bridal Attendants and Maitre d were awesome, and I couldn't have asked for better.
I am soooo happy, I truly felt like a PRincess Bride.

OK< I MUST go back to my dear husband now. If I forgot any vendors, I will post when I get back.

Off to enjoy my wedding night, and to prepare for Hawaii !!!!!!!!!!

PS. Thank you to Karina, Kathy, Shamma, Theresa, Lisa, Leelee, for all sharing in my day. It was wonderful. I loved seeing your faces and hanging out. You all are wonderful wonderful people that I am blessed to have in my life.
