Here is my review:

I have to say that Liwedding has been wonderful- So many good ideas that I have gotten from here and all you ladies have been so great in giving advice and thoughts on stuff. It was so nice thank you all!!

As for where to start- wow this is going to be really hard-

My wonderful DH has been so great though this whole thing and I just have to thank him for putting up with me sometimes-

Our vendors were all so great.

Coral House-- A+++++
From day one Linda and the staff have been nothing but helpful! We walked in and was giving a tour with no appointment and a tasting that was out of this world- we even got a doggie bag to take home that day. Needless to say we booked with them. After a while I was double thinking myself about the choice but in the end it was just perfect!! We had our ceremony at the RH and it was just so beautiful!! They supplied the minister for the service and he was great!! Tina our Attendant was perfect. She was there at every turn- making sure everything was in place and running smoothly. I have to say it was a great choice and I had no worries that day!!! The food was out of this world- we got so many complements on how much there was and how delicious it was. A few guest thought he cocktail hour was the reception. There mouths dropped when we were called in for dinner. I did have a bridezilla moment when I went to pay the final payment and drop off all our stuff they had the Christmas trees up!! When I booked it I was told that they don’t put them up until after thanksgiving. Oh well I got a few good pics of my children in front of the tree so I have Christmas photos to mail out !!! Saved me a trip to target!!


Devito Studios---A++++++++++++
I have to say we did use all house vendors and got a discount from each of them- Our Photographer was great he knew just what we wanted and as soon as I get my proofs I will post them with the review. He met us at the hall instead of at a house. I was just not ready for photos that early in the morning we had a 11:30 AM wedding so we were getting ready at 6 am- Just way to sleeping to smile that early-- LOL-- The only thing that I was upset about is we did not get any of the two of us with the rolls Royce. We lost track of time after first seeing each other in the hall and the driver left. But I did get a few with me and my dad getting out. I cant wait to see my proofs.--got my proof back and am more than happy with them. They are awesome!!!



Wicks Florist--A++++
Also a house vendor and wow the colors were just what I wanted!! My flowers and the girls flowers were so beautiful. They lasted all day with no problems. My CP were more then I could ask for. The hall gave us our CP of twelve roses but I wanted more and boy did I get it. The up grade was no that much per table and I had the amber glass and candles they put in the middle- at the end of the night people were fighting to take one home with them. So big thumbs up to wicks and there staff!!!! And prices were out of this world. For brides looking to keep costs down I would say give them a call.



DJ Joey
A+++
We had a DJ and an MC both men were great! The music was everything we requested they also did the music for our ceremony and it all worked out. Every one we hear from loved the way the music was done. I had asked them to start out playing most of the slow music to start the day with seeing it was an early morning wedding and then as the day wore on they stepped it up. Perfect!!! Instead of a light show and set up because it was a day wedding we got the give away package instead- it was a hit with the adults and the kids.



All Star Limo
A+++
They showed up on time and my driver was a doll- very nice and took very good care to get me to the hall on time , we had a rolls Royce and my dh had an 8 pass stretch limo for him and the groomsman. His drive was awesome also my brother forgot his black studs for the tux at the hotel and the drive gave him 2 from his tux to save him the trip back to Massapequa. We were picked up after the reception and taken to our hotel and again that driver was great. He waited what had to be over an half hour ( I had to make sure everything was packed to go home) and took us to our hotel in no time. Again I am still a little upset that I have no pics of us with the cars but it is the only thing that I can say was wrong in the whole day.


Tara from EAP--A+++++
- wow is all that I can say about her- If I needed anything or had a question she was there!!! If you are only thinking of a DOC just do it. It will make your day a dream. Hats off to Tara and she helped me get through it. She is a doll.

Blackforest Bakery
A+++
They to are a house vendor for Coral House and the cake was out of this world!!! We only did a butter cream frosting and roses but it was unreal!! I wish we would have taken some with us to the hotel for an snack.





For the modern bride
A++++++ Our card box was more than I could ask for. I was going to make my own but I did not like how it came out so I went a little extra and did it and I am so glad I did!!! We are keeping all our cards in it along with a couple other things from the wedding .



NY Jets Garter- I am not sure of what vendor it was but it was off EBAY and they had fast shipping and it was just want I wanted. DH was shocked when he saw it- totally love it!!






Invitations by dawn- online- very simple to order and very fast in the getting them to us. They were just what we wanted to go with our fall theme wedding. We also got our cake cutter and toasting flutes from there. No problems with anything.


?


David’s Bridals- Westbury
Brides dress
I went dress shopping by myself and went to two places (one that I won’t name) the ladies there were rude and very demeaning to me. Then I went to David’s’ I had heard mixed reviews about them and I was very worried about doing my alterations there but all in all I think they were pretty great. I had a wonderful lady help me with finding the dress and I had seen it on line and really did not care for it. But when I tried it on I knew that was the one. Everything went well with all the alterations and it was ready to go on time.
We also got my bride maid and mothers dress there too- no problems with that either. I also got my head piece and veil at David’s also. They were a little more in price than I wanted to spend but I could not find anything else I really like at other places.




Flower Girl Dress-

www.flowergirldresses4u.com

The dress was just what I wanted and it went with they whole color. Quick ship and easy to work with. It did not need any alterations just pressed it and she was ready to go.

Her shoes(she would not wear them- she wore her old sneakers- I pick my battles with her) lol-- and socks we got at tri county-not sure the name of the booth but it was in the middle of the tri county.


COCO Belle-Hair and makeup
A++++++++
They were awesome - Jennie & Alex, I went for a trial way back in April and was so happy with the outcome. They came to my SIL house the morning of and did me, my mother and my MOH. I was so very happy with how I looked- I think I stood in front of the mirror for 10 minutes just looking at myself- WOW!!! Thanks to both of them.

Gennaro Jewelers- Bellmore Village
A++
The day before our wedding Scott and I went out for a drive and he took me to Gennaro to find something for me to wear with my dress. WOW- They were very helpful in looking and then the lady who helped up suggested that I wear pearls. She showed us a beautiful 20” ivory strand with matching 8mm earrings. That was it they were perfect with my dress. That ending up being my gift from my DH.



Littman Jewelers-Massapequa Mall
A+++

We purchased our wedding rings there service was good and the price was right.

Plainview Sheraton-A+++++
We spent our wedding nite there- it was great- room was ready when we got there -rose peddles on the bed, a bottle of champagne and some chocolates on the bed- comfy bed and all the rest- two thumbs up for them!!!!


Best Western Bar Harbor Massapequa- A+++++

We used them for our friends and family to stay in before the wedding and we stayed there for 3 days before the wedding- the room was great we got a suite very nice, in the main building. they had breakfast there each morning not a lot but enough to get you through the morning.
We never got a chance to use the indoor pool but it really looked good- (our daughter was sick so we would not let her go in). The rest of our family and friends stayed in the outside rooms and they were just as happy- and the prices were very good.

Town and County Tux (Wantagh store) A++++
We were very happy with them. We went and picked out the colors and style and everyones tux came it and they all fit!!! All of our groomsmen looked great and the fathers I was very happy in getting them the silver vest and ties they looked great with the mothers.

Sandys Shoes Massapequa- A

I never got to wear my shoes- i twisted my ankle and could not stand in the heels- ened up wearing my flip flops ( no one even noticed)


Thank you for reading my review I there is anything or anyone I missed I will try and fix it asap.
