Invitations A

Nothing to special, although they were delievered SUPER quick (whcih I needed) and were cheap. I also go the matching thank yous and return address stickers.
Mother Nature - A+++
My FH was soooo nervous about the weather. He HATES to be hot, and the thought of him in a suit in an outdoor cocktail our drove him so crazy that he was driving ME crazy. We we couldn't of ordered better weather, low 80's with no humidity!
Hi Voltage Sounds - DJ - A+
I found this DJ on LIW and honestly went him because he was the cheapest. He was fabulous! We met with Vinny the owner about 5 weeks ago at his house (his office is a small room attached to the house, this is how he keeps cost down - who cares your party isn't in his house!). My FH faxed him a very vague list of ideas of songs, and the DJ that came, Spirros, was AMAZING. My dance floor was packed and everyone of all ages was having a GREAT time!!!
Westbury Manor - A+++
For you ladies getting married at the westbury manor, REST ASSURED, this place is fabulous! The food was delicious (so I hear, I was so busy I hardly ate), the grounds are beautiful and the staffing is amazing! Pam was our matradee and she sure earned every penny we tipped her! She waited on my hand and foot. She made a plate for me and my FH to eat before the cocktail hour started as she anticipated we were busy greeating our guests durring the time. I took my shoes off to dance and within 5 minutes she was at my feet with flats so I could be my comfortable. I'm telling you, the service was great! Our guest could not believe this was our engagement party and all say they cannot wait for the wedding! (which makes me nervous!)
Cake knives (favors from wrap with us.com) B-
The favors themselves are very nice, and useful but be careful ordering from this place. We had to check each knife as some had some imperfections and had to drive back to the place to switch them. They were very nice about switching them, but it was a big incovience to drive all the way back there.
My make up (lisa ruggerio) A+
As always, lisa did a fabulous job! You'll see in the photos
And thats really it.. my mom kind of did everything else, so she gets an AAAAA+++++++ to a million! I'm so lucky to have such great parents! They put this whole party together and even bought us a beautiful Bride and Groom lladro afterwards! I'm very lucky
And to all my LIW girls - thank you all for all your kindness, support and words of wisdom through it.. CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE WEDDING PLANNING!!!
