my unofficial wedding review-1/23/10
So I am going to wait until I get my pics and stuff to do my review, but I wanted to give you guys a 'quick' and unofficial review of just some of the vendors.
Reception: Larkfield Manor: I don't have enough positive words in my vocabulary to tell you all how great they were. Awesome to work with from the very beginning and beyond my wildest dreams the night of the wedding.
Make-up: Sandra Baldini- She was AMAZING.Her prices were the most reasonable I have ever paid (been a bridesmaid too many times!). Make-up lasted all night long!
Hair: Christine from Head Rush Salon-wonderful. She got extensions for me and dyed them to match etc. It made it look like I had so much hair (my hair is really really thin).
Flowers: Ribbons and Roses.They are the house florist for the reception hall. Wonderful job!
Band: Sound Image Band. SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!!
Limo: Out of respect for the company I promised not to name them on the website. We looked at a few companies and felt very confident in our choice. Had a great experience with them up until the wedding day and booked for a great price. On the wedding day, they NEVER SHOWED UP. They claimed there was some sort of 'glitch' in the computer system and the limo was never set-up to go out. FH, the in-laws and groomsmen ended up driving themselves to the church and my friends left the church and came to pick up me, my parents and BMs. I arrived to the wedding stuffed into the front of my friends' jeep 20 minutes late. Yay. The limo showed up to the church during the ceremony to take us to the reception, but it didn't have drinks or cups in it. It actually had open bottles of water/soda floating around. The driver was terrible and got lost even AFTER we gave directions and so we arrived late to the reception. B/c of this we have no formal pics of us with our families and missed some of the reception. The company tried to make it up to us with transport to/from airport for HM and refunding money. That's all great, but it screwed alot so nothing will every really make it up for us. The company couldn't have apologized more if they tried and I do believe that they felt bad. FYI-we confirmed with them before the wedding on 4 separate occasions (within 2 weeks of the wedding) and were told everything was set to go.
So, not so short and quick.
Enjoy!
