The wait is over, after 12 yrs, I'm his Mrs. !!!!
Hi girls, wow can't believe we are officially married. Everything went great and the phone has not stopped ringing all day. We had an amazing time with family and friends and could not have done it without our fantastic vendors who went well above and beyond anything we could have done for ourselves. There are not enough words to simply express our gratitude and heartfelt love we felt for all of their help. It was simply not a business transaction, these people became our family over the last few months and they will never be forgotten . I will post more in my review but here are quick notes of the major players.
Ryan from Above and Beyond- simply amazing. she was there all day with us and made sure we were good on time. Even when the bus crashed into a car getting the girls to the picture location (oh boy, but everyone was okay) she had everything under control. Best money we ever spent!
Bravura- Paul is simply a class act. He was such a hit of the party and everyone wanted to know where we got him from. He sang so many songs for us last night and even during the ceremony that brought me to tears. He is truly an asset and if u need a great Italian singer Paul is your man.
Duet- Alberto Frank, & Dave. They made our day. They were not intrusive at all and made sure we took all if not most of the pics we wanted. At no fault of their own we just didn't have enough time and we had forgotten about them until the end of the night. We gave them free reign and from what we saw everything was great. They even stayed an extra hour for us and took some great shots and video of the last dance. Truly worth the extension. Fabulous group of guys! We are so excited to see it all come together
Flower Michele- John and Alex simply the best, the girls bouquets came out beautiful and the centerpieces were so vibrant in color. The color scheme was outstanding, They even had a fresh bridal bouquet delivered to me before the ceremony bc the other one wilted while talking pictures earlier. John executed everything i discussed and made our wedding so beautiful.
and last but certainly not least.
Westbury Manor
as i write this i am brought to tears b/c they gave me the wedding i never knew I wanted. From day one Felicia has been a constant support and friend. Later we met with Maureen for our final drop off and she was awesome too. The day -of went off without a hitch and
Pam and Naomi (maitre'd& bridal att) were so awesome I didn't need anything. We became fast friends and chatted until we left. I was completely amazed by the level of service and huge welcome we received from the staff. Never in my life have I felt so at home. In the future Westbury Manor will always be my first choice!
And to all those who said a Thursday night wouldn't be fun and people would leave early, we had 207 of our 208 guests show up and no one left until at least 11:15pm (over at 11:30) No one knew it was even a Thursday night. Everyone was on the dance floor and enjoying the night as if it were a weekend.... Girls have fun, enjoy, and do what u want. If you can save some money and have the wedding of your dreams, Westbury Manor is very flexible in making that happen.
Truly a night to remember. i'll post pics soon,
love melissa
