RUSSOS ON THE BAY ENGAGEMENT PARTY, TIVOLI ROOM

I just wanted to have a small review on my engagement party

BALLOONS - MILANO'S (in Ridgewood, Queens)
She did a phenomenol job - and the balloons looked soo pretty! (her work is always different - she does a reg balloon inside of a big clear latex balloon)

RUSSO's ON THE BAY - A+++++++
Truly ROYALTY. Thats the best way I can describe it. I was in the Tivoli Room ... and from the minute I walked int, to the minute I left I was asked if i needed anything, wanted a drink, etc etc.
Cocktail hour - I greeted all the guests and took pictures. I didnt eat much but I have parties there all the time, and the food is AMAZINGLY delicious.
The service is also amazing. You dont get a chance to finish your drink becasue they bring you another one before you get a chance to realize that you are almost done. easy way to lose track of how much your drinking - but I dont think anyone complains that they have a new drink on their table - and the old one taken away.
What i liked the best was that if you are not at your seat when your food is served (whether it be pasta or main entree) they put a silver platter OVER your food to make sure it stays hot - and as soon as you sit down - they try to go there to remove the silver platter for you. My FH stepped away while eating his chicken abt three times, and all three times they placed and removed the platter for him. What service, right?
The cake was absolutely gorgeous!! I picked the one thats called 'Amore' (means love in italian) and it was 6 hearts stacked (the top the smallest -and got bigger and bigger) with pearls on them - very very pretty - and I picked strawberry shortcake flavor, and my freind loveddd it sooo much she ate 2 pieces!!!!

DJ - Satisfaction Guaranteed - A++++++++
I love them ... I've been using them since my sweet 16, and they are like family. They know when to change the music, and how to keep the crowd going. There was never a small crowd on the dancefloor - they really know how to entertain and please there guests.

FAVORS - The WEDDING COACH (Brooklyn, NY) A+
I ordered silver coasters, and changed the ribbon after I placed the order bc of the color of my dress. They were very nice and helpful. They ended up not having the ribbon after I went there for a second time, so they sent me a package at home with a letter explaining that the color i picked was discontinued. They wrapped up 3 empty boxes (with the wrapping paper I chose) and put three diff ribbons and told me to call them after I picked one. It was very nice of them to spend the extra time and money (to ship) me the package instead of having me go there again.

I hope this was helpful. I tried to make it as specific and helpful as possible. I hope I didnt leave anything out. Please feel free to FM me if you have any questions/comments.

and a special thanks to my '07 girls who helped me!!!

I PROMISE to include pictures soon!!

I had Jack Lasala from Satisfaction Guaranteed. His partner Anthony was there too.
He gave me a good price bc he is practically family .. so I dont know what their prices usually are.
