I was there. Lots of great vedors. Laura from LA Productions was there, she had the best stuff.

It was a little overwhelming at first, but I'm glad I went. I got so much info.

It was definitely overwhelming. They have to much going on in such a confined area. I think it should have been spread out more.

I went - I liked the band and DJ showcase- I think I may go with Variety music - Ray impresed me . Yes lots of handouts! I liked Glen Cove florist too - the ladies were nice. I also got the idea to use a framed list of guests tables instead of place cards so all in all it was a good way to spend my time!

I saw the frame list too. I liked that idea alot. I don't know if I would pay someone to do it, when I can do it myself though....what are you doing with it?

Yea it was $275 - i took a pic of it with my camera phone and my mom and i will probably make the lists at kinkos and buy a large frame at marshalls or homegoods and put it on an easel and viola!

Hi Everyone,

I didn't even know about it if not for MissusJones. SO THANK YOU. It's too bad I didn't see anyone from here that I recognized.

We both went and found some really amazing stuff. You should have seen my fiancee's face turn beet red when the ladies at Coming Attractions were telling her about the services and parties they plan. Hehehehehehehe.

La Productions had some really orignal things and we are booking an apt. with them to see more.

Our main purpose of going there was Janet King the harpist. She did our friends wedding 11 years ago. It was great seeing the HAIR and style of tuxes chosen back then. We booked her on the spot and 2 more sting pieces.

We also ran into Chuck from Artisan Phootography who just did my sisters wedding at The North Ritz Club.

I also saw the Wheel of Tuxes that After Hours set up. I had watched many go up and get 50 dollars off and when I spun it I got a free tux. IF I go with them of course .

The layout wasn't the best and people kept pushing and not even saying excuse me or I'm sorry. They should have taken out the middle section and kept one line so it moved.

We weren't too crazy about the Sandals booth though.

Let's keep up the sharing of info.

Best Wishes,

Thomas
