3/18/05 @ The Inn @ East Wind ETA Honeymoon

More pics to come!!

Burtons Flowers B+- I ordered 19 alternating high and low centerpieces White roses, white and sage hydrangeas and stephanotas. They were great but 2 days b4 when i went to see my sample they said the sag hydrangeas werent in yet...they must never have come because they were obviously white ones dyed sage!! The same went for my girls flowers. The centerpieces were also not as full as i specified.

Sir Oliver Limos A++++
We had the 1940's Caddilac and the 2005 Excursion. They did an amazing job!! They had fully stocked and spotless cars. Richie who was driving the girls had them all pumped up flashing the strobes and the disco lite....he even put fog on!! My dad and i rode in the caddy. Once @ the church they organized everyone and even went into the church sarching for wipes since my son had an accident!! They continued to be accomodating and fun all the way to the East Wind!!

Adriennes Bridal B+
My dress was amazing and so were all the alterations. They also gave a $50 discount per bm dress since i bought 10 from there. But everyone of my girls said their dresses were cut too small and needed to go back up to 5x for more alterations, inluding my cousin who lives in the city. The day of many straps were unclipping and my moh's clip above her zipper in the back broke

Follow Your Heart Favors A
Kathy was great to work with and did a beautiful job on my wine bottles I'll post a pic when i get one. She put personalized labels on them wrapped in tulle with personalized ribbons...good prices also

Sarah, Bridget & Jillian @Gorgeous Faces A+++++
What can i say they are all amazing.

Jillian came first and we were not even close to ready for makeup but she was totally cool with it sat down with my dad and watched Ellen. When she did do aour makeup she made me as well as our bridal party look amazing. The makeup and fake eyelashes stayed on until the next day!!

Sarah & Bridget came since I had so many girls. They each followed the pics the girls brought to the tee!! They were all thrilled! I didnt have a pic I said I wanted 1/2 up 1/2 down something antiquated. What they did was breathtaking!! So many people asked who did my hair and makeup. Im so happy I picked them.

Patken Photo and Video Nick & Andy
They were both soooo nice and fun! Nick was really patient and I think took great pics. Ill let you ladies decide when the proofs come back!!

East Wind North Hampton Ballroom A-

The room was stunning! The food was amazing. The fire place and candles I requested were lit all over the room. The ambiance was impeccable. They lit all the extra candles I had left over from my votive place cards in the bathroom and my cake table. I also had 6 votives per table from the florist. My Maitre D Paul was great as was Mary Lou my Bridal attendant. The only thing i wish they would have done was show me my cordial bar. I heard it was delish...even had chocolate shot glasses. They did however, show me the Chocolate Fountain and that display was gorgeous and tasty!!

So why an A-?
#1 The flowers on my cake were supposed to be sage and instead were such a dark green they looked black!! MORBID!!
#2 I asked for the shrimp which was pretty good and theveal chop. They ran OUT of it and instead gave me Veal Sorrentino! That was fine for me but I hope that my guest didnt have to have a substitute!!
#3 There wasnt much of a variety maybe 2-3 things in the bridal suite to eat!! My whole bp went into the ch and i didnt want to so ....not much food for me!! although some did bring me in some stuff.

The Inn @ East Wind (hotel) C-
The rooms were amazing and b4 the wedding the service was great!! They take $900 deposit to block the rooms. I explained that I wanted to use that to pay for my dad and my sisters room. They said not a problem and put a note in the computer. Well, that day while im taking pcs and they are trying to check-in the manager has to come and get me. She said the money had already been refunded to my card but my card was coming up declined!! Well, if the money was put back in it wouldnt. She asked if i had another card 'yea in my bustle!!' of course not im trying to take pics!! Well, she said they cant checkin with out it!! There goes part of my gift to dad and sis!! In the end the money hadnt been refunded and wasnt until 5 days later!! So they had no idea what they were doing. On top of that my sis gets a charge a few days later of $250 for smoking in the room. She doesnt even smoke!!

Desmonds Pub @ The East Wind A+
The morning after I set up a breakfast for the people who had stayed @ the hotel (about 30) Typically they end breakfast @ 11am but They lest the buffet open until 1 for us!! The food was great and they set the tables up very nicely as well!! They charged $13pp, not bad.

Overall my day was magical!! I never ever
stopped smiling!!

Honeymoon Review @ Secrets Excellence in Mexico A++++++

This place was absolutely stunning. Typically Im not a huge fan of all inclusive and wasnt expecting much in the food dept....boy was I wrong!! This place was impeccable from food to service to architecture. Every room has two jacuzzis, theres 7 restaruants, 5 pools a spa to die for. Theres nightly entertainment in more than one area. There are hammoks everywhere in and out of the water...tiki beds around the pools....the beach is great. We even made so many friends. Mind you I have this great review even though we were stuck during hurricane Emily in July ...evacuated and all. We are so excited that our friends are getting married there this June and we get to go back!!!!
