OK, finally my review, sorry it has taken so long. First of all, everything was really wonderful and it really was the best day in my life so far. It was everything I imagined it could be and, although I often questioned it through the year of planning, it really was worth all of the money and time spent.

Ceremony/Reception -- Sans Souci -- A+
I really can't say enough good things about this place. The food and the service are amazing. They took care of every detail, so we didn't have to think about anything, but having fun. They were incredible.

Video -- Duet -- A+
We used them for video and they have been incredible to work with. They were amazing to work with the day of the wedding and we can't wait to see the video!

Photographer -- Susan Francy -- A
Susan was great to work with. We really like her laid back style and are thrilled with our picutres, her website is www.susanfrancyphotographs.com

Florist -- Donald Hedgecock -- A+
Donald is Sans Souci's house florist and he is incredible -- his prices are so reasonable and his work is fabulous!

Band -- Hackensack Men and Trenton Horns -- B
This band is amazing as far as getting the crowd going. They are not a traditional wedding band, and specialize blues, jazz, and funk -- and they do an incredible job. However, they were a little bit difficult to work with before the wedding. They are slow about returning calls and the band leader was not the best communicator -- the end result was fabulous, but they did make me nervous early in the week before my wedding.

Limo -- AAA Topp -- A
I'm not sure I have the name right, they are Sans Souci's house limo company. Very polite driver, he came early and waited for us.

I'm going to try to post some pics!

ETA: Hair and Make-up -- Jennifer from Fairytail Makeovers -- A
I can't believe I forgot Jennifer, she did a great job. She and her assistant arrived early and did a fabulous job.

Here's the link to the pics
