Well we got back from our amazing and still not long enough Honeymoon (hawaii cruise & disneyland Cali) wednesday night. and back to work yesterday YUCK.
ok let me start my review.
We had the perfect day Weather wise you could not ask for a better day, so beautiful sunny and warm, all the rain puddles from the 2 days before dryed all up, thank goodness. It was just amazing.
Rehearsal went great our priest was just wonderful, Fr. Hoatsman, so personalble. we of course arrived late to rehearsal, so much was going on this day (Thursday March 20th) then we had the rehearsal dinner at The Irish Circle in Rockaway Beach, just a short walk (not even a block from church) all went great, everyone seem to enjoy themselves. rained but we didnt care as long as it didnt rain on Saturday.
Saturday MARCH 22, 2003 ok here goes wake up first thing and head over to get our hair and makeup done @EXPLOSION in Howard Beach, My Hair and makeup came out great, to try to make long story short I found out on Thursday my girl has been sick, so we didnt know if she would be in. Well I had 2 Hair Trials with her and she didnt bother to call me so I was alittle ****ed But not crazy at all Vincenza the receptionist was Great! ALL in all my hair came out great, and since I spoke with them on Friday and explained I paid for 2 hair trails and didnt think it was right to pay for my hair with a whole new person, after chatting a bit I was told it would be NO CHARGE ( also the guy that did my hair also had to end up re-doing my sister, the girl that did it first did some crazy rat nest thing, didnt look like pic she gave at all.) he was really good! A
Make up was done by Joanne at Explosion also and she is great, didnt over do it, I am not a makeup person at all, also gave me some supllies for free, she is a doll A++++
VIP photography A arrived on time, so that was Great, extra bonus - we were supposed to have 2 photographers but ended up with 3, so I am hoping this means even MORE PHOTOS They are very Laid back which is great, just at some points I wished they would have spoke up a bit to get people together, instead of letting me call for everyone. But all in all Enjoyed working with them, havent seen final product of course, going to call them soon so I would give them a A for the days work and wait to see the FINAL PRODUCT

THE BAND GOOD CLEAN FUN A+++++++ There were wonderful they played it all everything we wanted to hear plenty of the 80's, 90's today Irish and oldies, what ever we selected before hand and they did it WELL
Everyone I talk to who was at the wedding, keeps telling me how great the band was and they kept on dancing.
I dont think there was anytime the dance floor was not packed.
and the bands price is great! if you are interested in a band, definitely check them out and let me know if I can answer any questions
they even made up cds of songs I wanted when they were on break, which was like never. it was great.
if you want to check them out there website is www.gcfun.com
and go to weddings, and click on 2003 and under march there is a pic from our wedding, its a pic of us and my dads family cool

Niecey saverio did my hair and my sisters he is of medium height and build brown hair accent His chair is basically in the middle of the room, if you sit in it you would be facing the window and crossbay blvd.
he was great, knew what he was doing, he also has assistants that help him
Who is doing your hair? and your girls etc?

Savareo - is an amazing hair dresser. When I lived in the area I use to go to him (from like 7th grade thru college - he did everyone of my perms and they would last over a year!) - way before he even worked at Explosion - he had his own shop in Ozone Park at first - then moved to LI - then HB. My mom still goes to him and still sings his praises. We know his life story. He normally doesn't do updo's or wedding hair because my mom wanted him. For my wedding, I had Anna do my hair. She did mine, my mom and my SIL. My MOh - got the woman next to Anna and my cousin got the girl acress from Anna (don't know either name.) Everyone was happy with them....
