My 9/6 Wedding Review...LONG!
Hi everybody, just got back from my honeymoon and wanted to give you all a review of my magnificent day from start to finish:
Hair and makeup: I used Jackie from Imakeupyou for my makeup and Margaret who works with her for hair, and I couldnt say enugh about them. They did excellent work, not only did I love the job they did on me, but my BM's and FG and Mom all looked fantastic. I would highly recommend them!
Score: 10
Photographer: We had Peter from Patken and he was also excellent. Although I didnt see my proofs yet, I am confident that they will look great. He joked around a lot and kept the mood light, but worked his tail off. Once the reception hit, I didnt even know he was there, he was really in-obtrusive, but was taking shots the whole night. Again, would definitely recommend.
Score: 10
DJ: Get In Tune Productions...probably the best vendor of the whole night. We had Joey as the M/C and Mike as the DJ, and they were great, played a great mix, listened to what we wanted, and got the crowd going. We had many compliments on how good they were. Plus, we had Liberty the percussionist for our cocktail hour, she played the steel drums which we loved and did percussion during the reception. We were so glad we had her, it was so different and cool.
Score: 10
Video: First Class Productions (Got them thru Get in Tune). Gary was quiet but was on top of everything and not in the way. I didnt see the video yet of course, but I think it will be good.
Score: 9
Flowers: Malkemes Florist
The flowers were beautiful, even more than I thought they would be, they were a pleasure to deal with all the way through. The one problem was they forgot to deliver the boutineers and corsages for grandparents to the hall, so they had to come back with them. Basically the guys didnt have corsages for the pictures. But at that point, it seemed so minor to me I didnt even stress it.
Score: 8 1/2
Limos: M&V Limousines
They called 2 days before because they had a problem with the Bentley that we rented and asked if they could substitute with another, which I was glad that they did and didnt just show up with another car.
The drivers were on time, were very nice and the cars were in great shape. The only problem I had was in my contract, there was a 20% gratuity included, so I wasnt planning on tipping them. When they dropped us off at the hall, they were looking for a tip from my husband. He asked me, I said, we dont have a tip for them, its included in the contract. He told them this, they said that the place doesnt give them that gratuity. So long story short, we ended up tipping them. But I wasnt happy about that, and plan on calling M&V tomorrow to straighten that out.
Score: 7
Reception: Port Jeff Country Club
The hall was spectacular, the food was great, everybody raved about it. The one problem I had and any PJCC brides, beware: my MaitreD was not good. We couldnt find her most of the night, other people were bringing us drinks because she was nowhere to be found, the buttons on my bustle broke and my dress was half dragging on the ground, people kept trying to fix it, and I finally sent my husband to find her, because I thought that she should have been attending to me!! I am still kinda upset about that and I plan on letting them know. Other than that, the place was awesome!!!
Score: 9
If anybody has any further questions, please let me know...I will be happy to help!!
