I would get on the photographer and DJ.

Look into Lighthouse Photography - Florio is a doll. And check out Phil at After Hours - he is beyond amazing.

Good luck!

I agree with Lighthouse.. we booked them and Florio was just great... We went with Absolute for our DJ and they are reasonable and great to work with.. We've used them for other family parties..

Good luck!
