My 11-3-07 GCM wedding, Lovin Oven Florist, FM Entertainment, Spelman Studios

Hi Ladies
I?ve definitely lurked more than I?ve posted, but with as much help as you have all given me it was only fair for me to post a review.

FM Entertainment ? A+ - Frank was amazing, the music flowed perfectly, he kept up with the our on the fly changes. (My bridesmaid was in the hospital until midnight the night before and surprised me by making it to the ceremony).
Spelman Studios ? A ? Christine did an amazing job with the 1100 pictures in our online album. She was everywhere she needed to be to get the job done. I am looking forward to putting together my album.
Ballroom Dance LI ? A+ - John was able to spend 5 lessons with my husband and I and teach us enough to get through the first dance with no problems (except the not practicing in my dress and getting stepped on because we were laughing so hard as I was feeding him the next dance steps)
Lovin Oven Floral Design ? A+++ AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME. My flowers were EXACTLY what I wanted. I?m not sure I can say more about Keyth and his staff, they did an AMAZING job.
Sweet Karma ? A+ Brian did a perfect cake for us. The only thing better than the way it looked was the way it tasted. Each layer was a different flavor and then we had two ½ sheet cakes in the back for the mansion to serve. Chocolate Indulgence, even if its not for your wedding cake, go there and get one. It is the BEST.
Happily Ever After ? A+ Carmella arrived at 5:30 am, and with her assistant got through all nine of us on time for pictures. Our hair stayed perfected all night, even my daughters curls held perfectly.
Glen Cove Mansion - Preparation D/Day of the Wedding A. The prep for the wedding was an absolute nightmare. It got to the point where my husband was not allowed to go with me because he would get so stressed by the end of the visit. FM me for more information if you are planning on getting married there. What I can say is because of their coordinator Shaniqua and a WONDERFUL operations staff the day was GREAT. The Viennese Tables were the most amazing, the space was set up perfectly and the hotel was okay (again after everyone was able to get rooms).
Bayshore Bridal Suites ? A+ - Maryellen and the seamstress created the most perfect gown. My gown was a Maggie Sottero (Rosemary Leigh), they took the illusion sleeves and made cap sleeves for the dress. It was PERFECT.
Shoe Elegance ? Lynbrook ? A+ All my girls and my mom got our shoes here. Great service, easy to deal with and they will dye the shoes black after the wedding.
Bridal Reflections ? Bridesmaids and Flowergirl- Dress A/Service D If it weren?t for finding the perfect dresses here, I would have preferred not to deal with them. They are not the most friendly, helpful, or customer service oriented bunch of people. They also give a ?month? your dresses will be in. We did not get any alterations done there.
Totally You ? MOB and MOG ? Both my mother and mother in law got their dresses here, nice for mother of the bride/groom. (I can?t rate them as I didn?t deal with them personally)
Rings ? 14K Gold ? Plainedge ? A+ Alan does an amazing job, we?ve been using him for jewelry for YEARS. Honest, fair, a great selection and a great guy.
Strings ? Alexandra (Family Friend) ? I wanted strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour, if you?re thinking of doing this I would say GO FOR IT. It was exactly the atmosphere I wanted for that part of the wedding.
Makeup ? Danielle (Someone my family has been using for years) A+
Lia Sofia - A - One of the moms at my daughters school sells lia sophia, and they had jewelry that matched Perfectly for the dresses. If you are looking for nice jewelry, with a great deal I would highly recommend them.
