My wedding review!!!!
Overall my day was amazing! I am very happy with how things turned out! Though there were a few things that I wish went differently.... here it goes:
The Woodlands: B-
Overall, the Woodlands was great.... the food was amazing... my room was beautiful... My bridal attendant stayed by my side the entire night and did everything for me... The BM that I finally ended up with was a really nice guy and very attentive as well... BUT - there was a party going on at the same time upstairs when I was promised more than once that there would not be! We went to the woodlands to be at a venue where we were the only party and I felt cheated... my cake had yellow and pink flowers on it instead of purple and green so it didnt match the decor at all. And only one of my signiture drinks were served.
Grace Church: C
Idk if you are supposed to grade a church but with no AC on a 100 degree day it was rough! And I founf out afterwards that the priest made an announcement before I arrived that people shouldnt take pics. Also, the priest mispronounced my first and last name during the ceremony.

Flowers by Brian A-
The flowers were beautiful!!!! I loved my bouqet! My only complaint is that the flower girls pomanders fell apart by the time we got to the reception hall.
After Hours Entertainment: A
Excellent! I loved my GOBO and the zapshots were so much fun! Everyone danced all night.

These guys are great. While I obviously havent seen the video yet they were on time and always filming so what more can I ask for.

B r e t t M a t t h e w s Photography: A+
Again, I havent seen my pics yet but these guys worked their butts off. They were taking pics start to finish and gave me lots of direction thoughout the day.
Bridal Reflections Carle Place: C-
While I loved my dress, I had to go for fittings 4 times and even at the end I was not 100% happy with the fit of my dress. When I went for fittings they werent nice about it and blamed the dress issues on me. In the end they told me that the dress couldnt be adjusted anymore and so I was stuck adjusting my boobs all night. Also, the bridesmaids and flower girls had to go for multiple fittings bc of similar probs.
The Invitation Lady: A
I loved my invites. They were done quickly and looked beautiful - I got so many compliments.
Camelot Limos: A-
The limos were beautiful - my DH and I were in a Phantom and we also had a Infinity truck and a Chrysler 300. The limos were on time to pick us up and the limo drivers were very attentive - even stopping by a store to get me a bag of chips lol. However, the limo that picked us up and the end of the night was a half hour late (but he was still a very nice guy).
Makeup: A+
The girl who did my makeup is my good friends cousin. I think she did an amazing job! She was so sweet and patient with everyone. Aside from lipstick, I didnt have to touch-up my makeup even once through out the night! If anyone wants her info FM me.
High Style Bridal: B
Overall, my hair looked exactly like I wanted it to. It was long flowing waves - like Kim Kardashian lol. But I had hair extensions in as as the evening went on the hair extensions lost their curl and were significanlty longer than my real hair. Luckily a friend of mine at the wedding does hair and was able to fix my hair a couple of times. Also, there was some confusion about money bc she claimed theat my original deposit was a 'retainer fee' and not a deposit and charged me $175 more than I expected to pay. I felt so confused Im not sure if I was right or if she was but I didnt wanna argue on my wedding day so I just paid her.
Barbie Hill: A
My cake topper was awesome! It was big and sparkly!
Bell Formal Tuxedos: A-
Everyones tux was perfect. DH looked very handsome. But they lose a couple of points bc the owner is so rude and annoying!
I think thats everyone. Like I said, Overall the wedding was great and Ive gotten so many compliments on the food and my dress and the flowers. Hope this was helpful!!!
