I'm Married!!!!!!...with vendor review...Now w/ Barcelona pics!!

Hello Everyone! Where do I start? My wedding day was everything I imagined and more. I am soooo in love with my husband...

I can HONESTLY say that everything went perfectly and that my vendors were all excellent, professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with!

Dress- Bridal Suite in Huntington- The most friendliest, professional staff I saw while shopping for my dress. My dress fit be PERFECT! I loved it so much- I only wish I could wear it again. The seamstress, Effy, was the cutest little lady! She is Very talented and thanks to her my dress was such a success! I didn't want to take it off- (well, eventually I did!)

Rehearsal Diner- Co-Co's on the water in Huntington. DELICIOUS! We used their new banquet room that was just beautiful... The service was terrific and the food was sooooooooo good. My mouth waters just thinking about it!

Make Up- FLAWLESS!!!!! Wajana Vallecillo- Make up artist (718-760-8134)was amazing. I would highly reccomend her to anyone. My only gripe with her was that she took a little longer than expected and put my schedule off a bit. Her work is AMAZING though!

Limos- PUNCTUAL, COURTEOUS, and PROFESSIONAL. We used COACHMAN and they were excellent. They were very early both on our wedding day as well as our ride to Hotel and the airport. Our driver made sure we had mints, and always made sure my train was in place- John was terrific!

Photography- Gray Studios- Don't have pics yet but I can say that Mike was a doll and was soooo on top of things to keep us on schedule... I didn't have to remind him of any shots to take and he kept the wedding party moving so we wouldn't miss our cocktail hour. So great! He was so much fun!

Cocktail hour music- Thanks to Karina (Curly2003) we booked a spanish guitar duo 'DUO SENTIMENTAL' They were INCREDIBLE! They played old spanish love songs/music. They really set the mood for the reception to follow...I got soooo many compliments on them. And they were very affordable!

THE HARBOR CLUB- WOW!!! They went above and beyond my expectations... I felt like a complete queen for the day. The grounds were perfectly manicured, the cocktail hour stations were amazing.. the service was impeccible. Everyone got so hammered cause they never let anyone drink get too empty! I got so many compliments on the food- (we went with Duck as our poultry and Mahi-mahi as our fish). 'This food tasted like a 5* restaurants food- not a catering hall'...

Flowers- BURTONS- GORGEOUS we had callalilies and roses throughout and they were just beautiful... Gill over there was soooo great. Everything arrived on time. The flowers were so fresh and they didn't die on us at all. As a matter of fact the centerpiece lasted 1 1/2 weeks after! Love them! They are such a great florist to use at terrific prices!

DJ- FEEL THE VIBE ENTERTAINMENT(516)351-1117 these guys were an absolute BLAST! My dancefloor was PACKED the whole night. I am still getting compliments on how much FUN my wedding was and how it was the 'Best Wedding' they'd been to in a long time! If you are still looking for a high energy DJ def. call them... Izzy was Awesome. I can't say enough good things about them. Everyone has raved about them!!!

Honeymoon- SPAIN (Barcelona and Marbella)...OMG!OMG!OMG! The most amazing vacation we have ever taken! Any girls looking for a honeymoon spot in September consider Spain. The food, the culture, the people, the sights, the beaches, the resorts EVERYTHING makes this place such a romantic and culturally rich place to vacation! It did not rain once- not even a drizzle and the weather was in the 80's and 90's! We seriously considered moving there- that's how great it was... Unfortunately we had to come home to reality!

I promise to post pics as soon as possible! Thanks for letting me share...

Re: I'm Married!!!!!!...with vendor review...(long)

Forgot to Mention....

Video- Bellarino- They were so unobtrusive I almost forgot about them! Phil and Kate were great! I'll be able to say more when I see the video...

BM dresses- RK Bridal 'no Frills' program... Contrary to some people's experiences they were great to me! My dresses were sooooo inexpensive and they were all in beautiful condition and arrived a month early! I would reccomend them based on my experience!
