Thats a lot of appointments to go to in one weekend. Make sure they are near each other because driving all over can be exhausting! If you let us know who you are meeting with we may be able to give recommendations to cut the list down. Congrats and Good Luck!



exactly... maybe we can cut the list down from what we've heard

yeah,, that does kind of limit the time to meet vendors.

I havent heard much about the vendors you listed above. Trying doing a search and checking brides reviews

It's certainly not easy. I am only in CT and it's still difficult.

Good luck!

kudos to you on planning a wedding so far away!

just an FYI--i'd steer clear of adrienne's in islip. if you do a search on them i'm sure you'll find a lot of horror stories on their customer service, ordering, and alterations!

if you are going to be in that area, bridal suite of bay shore, a few miles west on main st. had good customer service.
