I am from Staten Island, and my fiance and I are currently living in Brooklyn. He grew up in Long Island and my family is scattered throughout the tri-state area. Originally we were planning a destination wedding for Sonoma, CA but decided to plan something closer. Only problem is that I am still unfamiliar with vendors, and not being from the area makes it even harder!
Does anyone have recommendations for the following vendors? (I basically need everything! So overwhlming-don't even know where to begin) I was planning on doing a lot of wedding stuff over the summer, since I am a teacher and I have time off)
-Hair & Makeup (for bride, bridal party, Mother of the Bride) -Flowers -DJ -Limousine (just to get to venue) -String duo or trio for ceremony/outdoor cocktail hour
When should I start contacting places and people? Is it too early a year in advance? Obviously I have never planned a wedding before and I kind of stink at planning any kind of event so thanks in advance for your help!

A year is definitely not too early. Some vendors book up faster than others. You should ask Danfords if they have any recommended vendors.

Oh and I don't think it's ever really too soon to book. I wouldn't wait though because you may loose a vendor you want.

I just drove to pt Jeff today to meet with lighthouse photography. I drove passed bay view florist. You should try them I've heard good things. Limos, try tran star executive, they are recommended by a lot of vendors, based in deer park, they will travel anywhere in ny. For hair and makeup, try www.cantstopmypretty.com she's amazing, and posts prices online.
