RH: The Inn at New Hyde Park - Booked with Janine who is fabulous.

Church : St. Ignatius Loyola

STDs: Zazzle.com - Ehh they're alright - they came out smaller than I expected - this of course is partly my fault for not reading the dimensions.

PHOTO/ VIDEO: Patken - I had gotten soo many recommendations for Patken I couldn't even think about using anyone else. E-pics are in May so I guess I'll know better then.

Flowers : Flowers by Brian (Cindy) - Cindy and FBB are amazing! I hate flowers so I did not want any floral arrangements. They made me a sample of a CPs before I even put a deposit down to make sure they understood what I wanted!

DJ: FM Entertainment (MC Frank) - FH and I looked at a couple other DJs before FM and we hateddd them. They were so corny and in your face obnoxious. We fell in love with Frank from FM as soon as we saw his showcase. He is so professional but will still be able to get everyone onto the dance floor. We just felt that when we saw FM we were watching a showcase for a wedding rather than a showcase for a sweet sixteen which is how we felt at the others.

Cake : Provided by RH - Buttercooky Bakery in Floral Park

Wedding gown & BMs gowns: The Wedding Plaza

Hair: Salon Entourage - have been going to them for years - LOVE

Favors: Making a charitable donation to the American Cancer Society <3 - I will probably make cards myself to place on each place setting tell guests that we made a donation in lieu of favors.

Don't have limos, invites or linens yet, but, I'll probably be using Camelot for limos.
