917/05 Review finally-Pelligrini Vineyard, Sir Oliver, Sweetwater, Father and Son Foods and more

It has taken me 9 months but here goes...Everything was perfect!!! Being that my husband is the catering business and has done a million of other peoples wedding, we pretty much used all of his vendors, so my planning was great, there really was none.

Sacred Hearts Church
The ceremony was in Southampton at Sacred Hearts, what a beautiful church. It was a typical ceremony the only thing we did do was hire a flutist. She was GREAT! Everything went very smoothly besides me burning my arm on the hot wax from the unity candle because someone left the wrapper on so the wax pooled. So needless to say I had wax all over my dress for the rest of the day. It sure is funny to watch on the video.

Sir Oliver Limo
Highly recommended they were on time, friendly and perfect. We also got the choice of a free ride after the reception or a free ride to the airport. We choose the ride back to the hotel at the end of the night. A stretch hummer showed up to bring to the hotel it was a riot and so much fun!!!

Pelligrini Vineyard
We wanted something different and different we got. We are still hearing about what a beautiful venue. Being that DH is in the catering business we didn’t want a typical catering hall. We are also huge wine fans so it was perfect. Although we went through I think three different event coordinators since the day we booked, everything did end up beautiful.

F&S Foods
We decided to do away with the traditional sit down dinner and went for action food stations instead. It was perfect being that there were chefs cooking fresh food right in front of you no one felt they had to sit down, so the party never stopped for one minute.
www.fandSfood.com they also took care of our beautiful and delicious cake and the chocolate fondue fountain.

GFS Photo
Gerry was great!!! I am not a big fan of posed pictures or pictures in general. So he was prefect! He got some great shots. When I first saw some of the proofs, I couldn’t believe that he got pictures of me stuffing my face with chocolate or smoking a cigar. But one of my friends said, 'that is how you know you had a good photographer, because he got pictures of you being you, and you didn’t even know it'

Sweetwater
Words can NOT express how happy I was with this band. They are amazing!!!!! I honestly don’t even know what to say because they were so perfect! They were a HUGE hit!!!

Flowers by Rori
I walked into Flowers by Rori and said I want fun, bright and simple. Ryan was fabulous to work with and everything turned out perfect. He even remembered that my favorite flower was Sunflowers and put together a huge vase of sunflowers for the entrance table.

Lavender B
Lavender did our video. The end product turned out very nice. But it was a slight process to get what we wanted. But final video turned out very nice, the end montage they did is amazing!

RK Bridal/Kleinfelds
My girls decided to do the no frills program at RK Bridal and it worked out GREAT, all they all looked beautiful and they saved some money doing the no frills. IF anyone is having a hard time finding bridesmaids dress check out RK Bridal there are so many choose from and they were a HUGE help! My dress was from Kleinfelds and I loved it. My one complaint would be that although my dress turned out great, it was almost like once they got my money I was only a number and not a face.

Patchogue Floral
Everyone here was great; I ended up getting my invites here as well as thank you scrolls for the tables. Everything came was affordable and came out great. This is also were I got my head piece.

I am not very good at all of the details, but hopefully you get the picture. I would highly recommend any of the vendors that I used.
