Sand Castle Review

The Reception at the sand castle was more than what i expected. Everything was great, from the food to the decor to the staff anyone geting married there will leave there so happy. The maitre'd Adrian and his partner did a awesome job, anything i needed they were there within seconds. Very Helpful and attentive and truly mademe feel like a princess. Maria the bridal attendant was great to me as to my bridal party and family everyone loved the awareness of the staff. The food was more than enough and they offered seconds which my guests couldnt believe and loved. The drinks were great the whole atmosphere was just awesome! No worries there at all, if you are undecided the sand castle is the place to hold your reception it was beautiful and a very beautiful experience i give them an A+++++++++++++++++

I used pedestals florist and they did a beautiful job i give them A- because i paid alot for just three flowers that they put on the big cake i had, but other than that everything was beautiful, my bouquet was a gorgeous arrangement of calla lillies with a pendant i used for it beautiful!! And Gigi was great!

Proline Studios A+- They were on time very friendly and attentive the proofs came out very nice and they worked very well with others. They were never in your face never interrupted us to take pics and they mostly did what we wanted them to do when it came to takin the shots> Very content with them, just waiting for the albums to be done and the video to be done as well-

Lennys Clam Bar A-Rehearsal dinner was very intimate very nice and the food was great. It was by the water something i wanted to do. We presented the girls with coach and dooney wristlets and the guys with belts and money clip. We enjoyed the night and the staff were very nice thanks to our best man and matrion and my dad, everyone enjoyed a great meal!!! Love them all!!!

My invitations were from Bleu diamond events in Mineola- very beautiful all my guests called me as soon as they recieved them to complement on how beautiful they were. Although it was pricey i was very happy with the work. I worked with Gina who helped us a gret deal!

My Limos were special moments from Staten Island, they were on time very nice and helped us at all times especially My dad with his suit as well as me with my dress. The limos i chose were 1950 princess rolls oyce, the Cadallic Escalade and the Chrysler 300, all great cars! People said that maybe choosing the rolls royce wasnt a good idea in the summer due to the a/c and since it was an old car but my hubby and I were very comfortable and very cool so i was very happy about that since i had on a huge dress! I give them an A becasue they stock up on everything except liquor which i was happy about but not hubby but at least my bridal party didnt get drunk before the reception! But overall it was a very good experience no horror story with this company!!! and they were inexpensive also!

MAcys Bridal manhasset B- my dress was a demetrios gown beautiful silk and satin bousled corset dress from 06 collection i saw and tried on this dress and i immediately fell in love!! It was very comforable dress i dance in it all day and night and wasnt heavy at all very well made and again everyone was amazed they loved MY
DRESS! I also got my beautiful Tiara from macy bridal it was so beautifully done and it just sparkled so nicely i loved and paid 180 compare to 400. My bridesmaids dress from Eden bridal also purchased there was such a cute bubbly dress in brown which i also fell in love with for my girls, it was something i would wear and it was very nice but comfy for the date i chose for the wedding. I gave them a B- because there were afew things that upsetted me like price differences and the amount of money for alterations and they were always busy but at the same time they were nice and help me in makin sure i left there happy with the dress which i did, ThIs was my wedding and i wanted to look like a princess and i achieved it with the gown-Demetrios gowns are perfect!!!!! The girls shoes were from Tahiri and they match the dress perfectly and they were comfy and cute which was great!
My shoes i bought them on line from myglassslipper.com very beautiful shoe and very affordable and they were fast which was great i recommend this site to everyone. MY flower girls dresses were from pinkprincess.com very nice and affordable and they were shipped right away they all looked so adorable!

The groomsmen rented their tuxs from howard beach tuxedo on crossbay Blvd in queens and they were so nice and treated the guys very well and they all looked handsome, i also recommend them to anyone!! A++

My hair and nails and makeup were done by my regular stylist very nice and very afforadable and made sure we were out in time to get ready!!! Makeup was done by a friend my first time using her and she did a great job, she works for a dior counter in a dept store and she was great my make up was on all night long which was very important!!

Bravos sounds B- they were very well spoken and the presention was nice but they didnt play all the music i would of like but overall it was nice and their setup was so nice and they did it all at a very good price. I had plasma with our pictures as babies with great music playing in the background and everyone was sobbing it was very emotional but i was very happy of that turnout.

Salsa Band-A++ they were awesome affordable and so good! I love the music they played they on time and everything was very classy! Everyone danced to their music, it was so much fun

MY MOM and sister(MOH) looked amazing my sister dress was by bill levkoff and she looked stunning and my mom had a leopard dress especially made for her body it was pricey but she looked more like my sister thn my mommy she looked amazing and she was so happy that that was the best for me to see her happy and excited -love them!!!

My brother and friends paid for our honeymoon- Cruise to Florida,Mexico and Belize, very very nice and the weather was amazing! We scuba dive, swam with the dophins and went o a tour in MExico had so much fun! I went on Royal Carribbean-Enchancment of the seas and it was so great and we just had a ball!!

Our wedding was i would say the best i ever experienced! It showed me whose was really there for us and how happy we really really are together! I married my best friend my love my everything and i dont think i would ever and can ever forget that magical night.My Hubby always made me feel special but that night he made sure that i was and will always be his princess and for that i thank him and will never forget!!!!
