My 7/17 ROYALTON REVIEW with Tess, Mi@, Stefans, Royalty..and more!!!!

My Review

Thanks to LIW.. without you guys I would not have known about so many vendors and have so many great ideas! Thank You!

Invitation, Menus, Programs, Namecards--Tessa-********—B+-Tess was amazing to work with! She got the design exactly how I wanted it, she was kind and sweet and a pleasure to work with. I still receive compliments on my invitations to this day! The reason she gets a B+ is because she missed her deadline for invitations with me twice. Her printer broke and she had to get a new one, it wasn’t entirely her fault but I was upset with the date creeping closer and I was anxious to get the invites out.

My Dress, bridesmaid dresses-Lillettes-C- Lillettes was great while ordering my dress. I got the Victoriana by Maggie Sottero. The fittings were..okay. It is so crammed down there and someone is always waiting that you feel a bit rushed. More so, I was losing weight and my last fitting was scheduled 10 days before the wedding. The dress was big on top and I was nervous about the fit. I got talked into the fact that it would be okay. The next few days I started to panic and went back to lillettes. They squeezed me in and had to alter the dress because it was literally falling down on top!! I wa so happy I went back! Also they lost my sister reciept and said she did not pay in full when in fact she did. My mom ended up paying 70.00 again because they wouldnt let her have the dress! In the end all the dresses were wonderful!

DJ- DJ Mouse- A+++++++- DJ Mouse rocked!! The dance floor was packed all night! EVERYONE was dancing, I had several people who 'dont dance' tearing up the dance floor!! He was so amazing, I HIGHLY recommend him, 2 of my friends who just got engaged already booked him!

Church-B- St. Catherine of Sienna-- You cant really rate a church but St. Catherine's was good, the only thing I felt waas the rehearsal was a bit rushed. Otherwise it was great!

Photography and Videography- Duet-A+-Duet was on time and amazing! They got so mny pictures, we have a disc of 2600!! They did a great job and were nonintrusive! Everyone loved them, they seemed to have a really good time doing what they do! We are still waiting on our video so that is not rated yet!

Limos- Royalty-A+-Excellent, the drivers were soooo sweet! I forgot my something blue and my driver gave me a blue candy and I put it down my dress! haha! He was so funny! The cars were great and they did a wonderful job. They also seemed to enjoy their job!

Flowers-Stefans- A-We worked with Josh and he was a lot of fun! He totally got my 'image' and was able to tell me what would look good. I was nervous about the $$ since the Royalton allows one of two florists, however they were pretty flexible and reasonable and I was happy. I wish my bo-k was a little larger but other than that, everything was great!

Makeup and Hair- Mi@-- A++++--She was sleeping in her car outside my hosue when I woke up at 530am!! She was on time and professional. She brought two assistants, who were also wonderful! They did 11 girls hair and makeup! Everything ran smoothly and I was super happy!! My hair fell during cocktail hour, but it was so hot and humid!

The Royalton-A+++++++++++++++-AMAZING! WOW!!! They all went above and beyond! I knew they were good, but they are GOOD!! anything we needed was there, and everyone said the food was EXCELLENT! Shots on the dance floor, air conditioner pumping, cocktail hour was packed with food, a farewell table! They did our cake and it was beyond words!!! OMG! LOVE THEM!

Ill post more pics soon!!! Hope it was helpful
