Our Wedding Review!! Sept.16,2007 Chateau La Mer, LA Blossom, Oksana, Jen Hair Genie, Unlimited Entertainment, Royalty Limos

I have to say...I have NOTHING to complain about! NOTHING went wrong. Sorry Pics in album because too big and can't resize

Weather: A++ It was sunny and 69 degrees. Gorgeous day all day

Invitations & Favors: A Your invited to Celebrate, Mineola
I worked with Paula and the girls were very patient with me and not being able to make a decicion. My invites were gorgeous and came in pretty quickly. They worked with me on price also. Favors were dfficult to choose from but they helped me make a decision and keep them within my budget.

Dress: A Wedding Plaza, Floral Park
I searched high and low for an off the shoulder dress with a detachable cathedral train. Finally I found it here. They matched the price of another store and housed the dress for 1 1/2 years. Christine the sales associate was amazing! She kept me calm and worked with me with everything including MOH dress, grandmother dress, and MOB dress. My alterations were perfect and my dress did not move all night! I suggest detachable train because when it came off, it made the dress soo much lighter.

Bridesmaids dresses: B David's Bridal
Ordering the dresses was the easy part. They dyed the girls shoes but gave each of them a difficult time. As you know their customer service is not that great. I have to say after all the BS the dresses were perfect.

Tuxedos: A+ Men's Warehouse
Most of the GM live in different states so it was the best place for everyone since they are national. All the tuxes were on time and everything fit. No parts were missing and their customer service was great.

Makeup A+ Oksana
She is amazing and talented. I had 2 trials with her which made the day of easier to decide what I wanted. She she friendly, calming, and funny. My makeup was light and lasted all night

Hair: A+ Jen Hair Genie
I also had 2 trials with Jen. She is also very talented and my hair stayed all night even after dancing. She did 2 of my girls and my mother and they both loved their hairs

Flowers: A+++ LA Blossom
What can I say...Laurie did an AMAZING job! I teared up when I saw the reception room. There were flowers we wanted but could not squeeze into our budget but she did them for us anyway. Every table was different giving it character and Laurie is soo creative I gave her all freedom to do what she wanted. The BM flowers were beautiful and my BoK was Beautiful!! She worked with us on budget and she was easy to meet with.

Limos: A+ Royalty Limos
We used them for both the bachelorette party and the wedding. The drivers went above and beyond. They were early, the cars were clean, fully stocked, and the AC worked. We had an excalibur and an escalade. Our driver was so helpful. He carried my train, fixed my train before my walk down the aisle and played the horn because DH wanted to hear it.

Jeweler: A++ Mr. Diamond NYC
DH had my engagement ring custom band along with my wedding band. I decided I wanted 2 bands to wear so the week of the weddign we called the jeweler and they made me another one and personally delivered it to us.

Photo/Video: A Timeless Creations
Phil did my SIL wedding 10 years ago and her pictures were beautiful. Our engagement pictures were amazing taken down at Jones Beach. Our wedding pics are beautiful and there are so many to choose from for our album. The only thing I am unhappy about was I wanted more pictures with the BP but the BP wouldn't stay together, we didn't have a lot of time in between chuch and the reception and he was not aggressive enough to keep everyone in line. He got all the important shots so that's what matters

DJ: A+ Unlimited Entertainment Eddie
He was amazing!! Meeting with him was easy. He was accomidating even when we were late with our song choices and did just about all of our requests. We played Pink Floyd during dinner and chose a song for the gater which he edited for us. The dance floor was NEVER empty and eevryone still talks about how great the music was and how much fun they had. To me music was one of the most important if not the most since I LOVE to dace. I don't think I sat once!

Reception Hall: A++++++++ Chateau La Mer
I walked into this place 2 years ago and knew that was where I was going to get married!! DH and I went to 10 halls and compared all of them to here. We met with Lou and signed. He allowed us 2 taste testing because my mom was out of town for the first one. Everyone we dealt with went above and beyond to make our wedding flawless. Our MD Monica was on top of everything and if you asked her for something, within 1 min. you had it. Our bridal sweet always had food. I said I was hungry and within 5 mins I had 5 plates of food. The food was like nothing I have ever had. They allowed the guests to have seconds and the cocktail hour was never empty. I could not wrap my head around my head count and Lou sat with me calmed me down and worked with me to come to a conclusion. I can not rave about this place enough. Future brides you have nothing to worry about!! My man NICK!! He was fantastic. Everything I asked for over the past 2 years I got. Our yacht arrival was flawless and the water was calm.
DH and I went to a wedding at CLM 3 weeks after ours and everyone remembered us and treated us like it was our wedding all over again. I want to get married again just to throw a party here.

Honeymoon: Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora
This honeymoon needs its own review. We had a blast and all the hotels were great. The food was fantastic and the tours we did were a lot of fun.
