8/11, lands end, b rett matthews, burtons,

Weather: A+++
The day before poured and the day after was hot and humid, but my day was a nice 80 degrees with a light breeze. PERFECT!

Dress, veil, and headpiece, Renata's in Lindenhurst: A+++
I know they don't have a huge selection but I found the dress of my dreams. They were so helpful in helping me to pick out a veil and headpiece and the woman who did my alterations was just fabulous!

Bridesmaid dresses: David's Bridal: A+
I know they have mixed reviews but none of my girls had any problems with the store. I had a few bridesmaids from out of state and they were able to get their dresses in the store closest to them and it worked out great! I also love love love the color, it was the only store with the right shade of turquois.

Lands End: A+++++++++
They did a phenominal job. Everything they promised for our day was given to us and then some. They were organized and on top of every little detail of our wedding. Marriotta the matre'd was awesome, she brought us a plate of every entree', appetizer, and dessert so we wouldn't miss out on anything. Even the service got a ton of compliments from our guests.

Flowers by Burton: A+++
I know that some people have some issues with them but they gave us the most beautiful centerpieces and bouquets i ever saw. I got a ton of compliments about the flowers all night.

Rev. Devincenzo: A+
He was fantastic! Our ceremony was so unique, fun, funny, and romantic. I highly recommend him for everyone's ceremony.

Band, Code Bleu: A+++++++++++
They performed our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception. I probably got the most compliments the whole night about the band. They were AMAZING. My husband and I are both musicians so we were both really picky about who we picked. We couldn't be happier with our choice, everyone was dancing all night and they were just loud enough so you can still talk without yelling. They also let my husband sing with them at the end. This band was the best!

Photographer, B rett M atthews: A++
Chris was awesome and the lighting assistant and other photographer and videographer all worked together the whole day to take some amazing shots of us. They were also so funny and were making us laugh the whole day and night. Our pictures came out AMAZING!

Limo: New York Style Limo: A+
They were on time, and also provided a bus service for our guests from the hotel to the reception. We used them for my husbands bachelor party and a ride to our cruise ship the next day.

Honeymoon: Norwegian cruise from NY to the Bahamas: D-
I was not happy with this cruise line, I won't get into too much but if you are thinking about doing this even for a vacation and want to know why I rated them what I did FM me.
