LIWEDDINGS: 10/10

Rehersal Dinner- Katie Dalys 10/10
The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful! They went out of there way to make it a special night! Great Irish and American Cuisine!

Weather: 7/10
The weather had me freaking out all morning, started raining early, but the sun came out just in time for pics!

Day of coordinator- Rosalie 10/10
What can I say about Rosalie... she is wonderul!! A week before the wedding she found me a florist for my ceremony, and the day before the wedding she helped my find a new flower girl dress! She loves her job and will go out of her way to make your day special! Every problem that occured she handled like a pro!! I am so glad that she was a part of my wedding!

Hair- Jenn the Hair Genie 10/10
Not only is Jenn one of the nicest people I have ever met, she is also one of the most talented! My bridal party and family loved their hair- each person had such a different style! I am still getting compliments on my updo!

Makeup- Oksana 10/10
Oksana is amazing.. she is such a talented makeup artist and one of the kindest people I have ever met! My makeup was flawless, and after hours of dancing and pics in the sun, it still looked fresh! My family and bridal party loved their makeup as well! Having Oksana, Jenn and Rosalie at the house was like being surrounded by old friends

Dress: Lilettes 10/10
Lilettes has such a great variety of wedding gowns, esp. Maggie Sottero's. The staff was great- very attentive! The alterations dept. did a wonderful job!

Bridesmaids Dresses: Davids Bridal 8/10
Davids has a great variety of bridesmaids dresses, but the staff could have been more helpful! They were very busy, but treated us well. Alterations were not done in the store

Tuxedos: After Hours Massapequa 10/10, Garden City 5/10
My husband had a great experience at the Massapequa store, the staff was very helpful and put together a great tux for him. The store in Garden City wasn't as great. The bridal party had to wait over an hour to be helped, and when the tuxes came in 3 of the 4 were completely wrong.

Shoes: Sandys 10/10
Great selection of bridal shoes! Great staff! I returned my shoes twice before the wedding and they were great about exchanging them.

Tiara and Veil: Barrons 10/10
I love that store! What a great selection, and the staff is wonderful. You can stand there for hours trying things on!

Flowers: Mormile Florist 10/10
I originally chose this florist from a bridal showcase, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. Bill was amazing at creating the look I dreamed about! I cant believe how beautiful my flowers came out, we are still getting compliments on them!

Ceremony Flowers: National Wholesale 10/10
Because of a mix up at my hall, I needed to find a florist one week before my wedding! Anna not only squeezed me in, but she did such an amazing job on my ceremony flowers! Very reasonablly priced too!

Photo/ Video: Duet 10/10
Although I havent seen my proofs yet, they did an amazing job on my wedding day! They took all the pics on my must take list, and had some great suggestions! Duet had my wedding party laughing all day! Cant wait to see my pics!

Limos: Royalty 10/10
We only used Royalty for a pick up and drop off, but we were very impressed with their service. Great drivers, clean cars and prompt service. My driver even helped get a stain out of my dress!

Ceremony musicians: Sterling Music Ensamble 10/10
Sterling did a great job at my ceremony and cocktail hour, everyone was really impressed! Great variety of music

Band: Alimarod and the Wonders 8/10
We had a persian band do the wedding, and I had some inital difficulties getting them to do half american music. But they came through at the wedding and provided a great mix of music. The american guests loved hearing different types of music- everyone danced the whole night!

Crest Hollow 8/10
Overall I loved Crest Hollow, but we did have a few problems throughout the night, that thank god Rosalie solved for us... first they insisted that my ceremony flowers did not belong to me, and wanted to use them for another wedding, then they didnt announce to the guests ( all in the lobby) that the ceremony was starting, and they wanted the bridal party to walk in to a completely empty room... other than that.. the food was amazing, and the venetian hour to die for. We did a persian cocktail hour that everyone loved! Service was great and the bartenders did a wonderful job. the grounds are amazing! I cant believe how beautiful everything is kept!

Hotel wedding night: Inn at fox hollow 10/10
What a beautiful hotel, the rooms are amazing! We wish we could have stayed longer! The breakfast was great, we ate out by the pool, staff was wonderful!

Jewelery: wingydesigns.com 10/10
what an amazing woman! Worked with me to design both my and the bridal partys jewelery! I loved everything, and plan to work with her again in the future!

Honeymoon: Costa Rica 10/10
My husband and I travel alot, and without a doubt this is the most beautiful place we have ever been. We spent time at the beach, the volcano and the cloud forest! It was truly amazing
