My 8/2 Wedding Review w/ Pics (Edited w/ review of Bellarino!)
For starters, I (we) had the MOST wonderful wedding anyone could ask for. It truly was the best day of my life. Here's the review:Flower Michele: 10
John did everything I asked for! From my bouquet to the girls' flowers to the boutonnieres to the centerpieces to the moms' corsages, everything was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The church looked lovely as well with the pew decorations with the hydrangeas and ribbon.
Paul Marino Photography: 9 (pending)
Of course I still need to see the proofs (they are already done, just havent gotten the chance to get over there!) and see the album, but working with Paul and his assistant was great. I just wish he would have shown up at my house a little earlier and taken more pictures inside my house versus all outside. But overall, very nice to work with!
Royalty Limos: 6
Yes, we did get everywhere on time and there were no MAJOR mishaps, but overall I was not pleased with the service. The driver did not seem to know the vehicle very well (escalade). They did not bring the runner for the church (and lied to me by saying they called the church and that's what they told them but my priest flat out said that was not true) (and i called earlier in the week to confirm they had the runner!). The AC took WAY too long to work after the ceremony and all 20 of us were DYING in the limo and the driver cared very little. Also, there was no champagne in the limo after the ceremony (as was included in the package)!! Just not an overall good experience!
Code Bleu Band of Skyline Orchestras: 10
Excellent excellent excellent!! They had my crowd on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. I remember wondering when they'd play a 'bad' song and they never did! That night two of our friends inquired about having them at their own wedding. Truly an exceptional band!
Bellarino Video: 10+
I dont know how I forgot to add Phill from Bellarino in my initial review. He is AWESOME!! Of course I haven't seen the final product yet, but he was by far one of the top vendors I have ever dealt with. So thorough and considerate and followed through on EVERYTHING he said he would do! ***Follow up review - my dvd is AMAZING!!
North Ritz Club: 10+
There is not one negative thing I can say about NRC. They truly went above and beyond all my expectations and made every last person at the wedding extremely pleased with their service. The maitre'd (george) and bridal attendant were extremely attentive and there was never a moment that we needed something that was not ready and waiting for us. Our guests RAVED about the food and service and many guests have stated that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to!
We went to Aruba for our honeymoon and I will post a full review of that very soon!
I have tons of pictures that I will post in a little while, but here's just one for now:
(ok, i added more, bottom of this page and page 2)
