My mini wedding review!

Hi girls!

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your precious contribution. I learned a lot from you that helped me tons in planning my long distance wedding. Here is a small review of my wedding day...I will add more later if I forgot any.

Westbury Manor A+
From the moment we arrived there to the last minute, everything was amazing. Our wedding was a very intimate and small wedding so we were in the Conservatory Room. I tell you this, I loveeeeeeeeeeed the room. It was even much nicer than the Hill Room that we saw first. I mean it is all glass, flowers/plants everywhere, brick wall adds personality. I loved everything about it. The food was also amazing. My bridal attendant Naomi was awesome. She was right there when I needed her. She was bringing lots of food and drink for us before we walked in. The service, the food, atmosphere, everything was exceptional.

Vincent Rhodes One Man Band A+
My hall referred him when I was looking for a band. Vincent plays a keyboard that is everything you would need. His voice is amazing. We loved the songs, music, his professionalism.

Lancelot Limos A+
Rob was a very nice guy from the moment I called him for price quotes. We got a white stretch. My now husband said the driver came 45 mins early and was waiting outside the house all that time. Such nice service. Nobody wants to be late to their wedding. He was dressed nice and helped me a lot when getting in and out. We were supposed to be taken by a town car to our house. We were so surprised when the owner Rob showed up with a nice black limo. That was the hit. He upgraded us for free :). Service was amazing.

Beautiful Brides by Lauren F
She came late by 30mins. She said she had a flat tire but assured me that we are on time and nothing to worry about. I wanted to have a half up half down a very simple style. It took her about 2 hours to finish. She caused the make up artist to do her work while she is doing my hair. My hair looked nice right after she finished. I left the hotel and in an hour my hair was a disaster and it wasn't even humid outside. Some curls loosed some held weird. It looked tangled and freezy and messed up. My only wedding day, my happiest day in my life was ruined thanks to her. I paid her a lot of money too. She is very expensive compared to many. I didn't mind paying extra if that means I will get the best. I could pay less than half to get it done at a nice salon.

Stacy Doolan Make Up A+
She arrived on time but unfortunately because of the hair stylist she had to work at the same time with her. She did a very nice make up and exactly what I asked for. It was very nice but maybe could be even better if I wasn't also getting my hair done at the same time.

Yung Photography
My photographer was amazing. Trying to make us relaxed and taking awesome pics. Can't wait to get our pics. I saw one on his web site and loved it. He is on the expensive side but after looking at his pictures you will know what I am talking about. Amazing pics.

thanks for the review but I am booked with Beautiful Brides by Lauren and she was fabulous at my trial and on time. I don't think she would lie about having a flat tire. She is an amazing hair person and dont think she deserved an F!!

Not for nothng, but ifyou weren't there on the bride's wedding day, how can you say she did not deserve an F? Hopefully it works out better for you than it did for her, but if she screws your hair up on your wedding day, I doubt you would want another bride minimizing your feelings.

i almost had a trial with her, but she told me i needed extensions which was really an extra 150 dollars and i went to another trial and they never mentioned me needing it.

I am so sorry about your hair, if your hair didnt even last with all the money they deserve whatever score you give them it is your day!

She deserved an F with her performance on my hair. I think I can judge it myself. This doesn't mean she will do the same for your hair or vise versa. It is my review of my wedding day. Hopefully you won't have any dissapointments with your vendors especially hair and makeup since they are the most important and you will look at those pics even after 20yrs.

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious but, if the original poster had an issue with the vendor at the trial, she wouldn't have booked her. If someone showed up 30 minutes late for my wedding day and took 2 hours to complete a style that didn't hold up only a couple of hours later, I'd give that vendor a Z, let alone an F.

As for the review, thanks for posting it! You looked beautiful and it sounds as though everything went as you'd hoped, aside from your hair.
