Soon2BMrsC09 – Nicole & Michael's Wedding Review – All photos up until this point at Non-Pro – I will update Pro-Picture shots as soon as they become available. Girls – the days up until your wedding day are very stressful and can be overwhelming, but enjoy it, try and relax and drink it all in. It is a fabulous time in your life, and before you know it, it is over, and married life for us, has been exactly what I have expected it to be. Exactly the same before we were married .

Long Island Weddings - Unbelievably Fantastic

How can you rate something so amazing? I stumbled onto this website the day after we got engaged and I have been utterly addicted since. We booked almost every single one of our vendors from this website. I thank you so much for making this website so user friendly and easy to navigate because without it I know that I would have gone absolutely nutty throughout our wedding planning process and would not have found such great vendors and ideas, tips, brides, that are so supportive and creative. They were such an important part of my planning process.

The Engagement

Michael and I had been best friends for over 2 years before we had gotten engaged. We would talk about marriage and we would joke around and he would ask me well what would you say if I asked you? I would always tell him unless it is a princess cut diamond on a yellow gold band then the answer would be no . I don’t ever ask for much – but to me that question was like cheating. How can you ask a question without asking the question? So he had gotten the point across and I was able to interject what I wanted without being pushy. Win win right? Well we had taken a drive one night after work (February 24th, 2008) to a place that we had gone and spent a lot of time at when we were dating. It is on the South Shore in Bay Shore by the docks off Montauk Highway. They have these precious little gazebos. We parked and we took a walk and he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. - And into the planning process we went

Engagement Pictures - LoveMorePhoto – A+
We had taken our epics 10/21/08 and it was really windy at Robert Moses Field 5. They were so amazing and accommodating, they got some really great shots. FM me for info.

Save The Dates – Weddinginvitations411.com – A+

I ordered our STD’s (this still makes me giggle) from this website not too long after we had secured our wedding date at the Venetian Yacht Club. I loved the idea that the bride had red hair – they came very quickly and were exactly what was described on the website.

Bridal Shower – Molly Malones – A+
Everyone did a great job surprising me. We had gotten an invitation for a ‘Christening’ for the end of November. What’s there to think about? I thought I had my shower figured out for January 17th, so it came as a complete surprise to me when we walked into Molly Malones and everyone was there yelling ‘surprise!’. They had a buffet set up for us, the food was delish as I was told, I didn’t eat much, but drank MANY MANY mimosa’s … probably close to 8 or 9. They were so yummy!

Rehearsal Dinner - Legal Seafoods – Huntington, NY – A+
DH's Brother is one of the Chef's at this location so it was an easy decision to have our RD there. They customized a menu for us based on our different tastes. They put us in a corner of the restaurant to give us as much privacy as possible. Everyone raved about how delicious the food and how great the atmosphere was.









Groomsmen’s Gifts - RayBan Sunglasses A+ - Overstock.com
We went back and forth a few times to try and figure out exactly what we wanted to get the guys for their 'gift' and it seems to have all been done before, we both liked the look for the guys to come into the reception wearing sunglasses so we went along with that idea and bought them sunglasses. As it turned out they wore them for the ceremony as well. It worked out very nicely.





Bridesmaid’s Gifts – A+
Lia Sophia – Fantasia Collection For Bridesmaids
Lia Sophia – Different Collection for MOH (Forget name though)
I wanted something that would sparkle in the photos that the girls could wear again. They were semi-expensive – but it was worth it to me to buy them something that they would love and it comes with a lifetime warranty. They got the necklace, earrings, and bracelet set.




The Weather – A+
The weather report about 10 days out called for rain, and I knew that there was nothing that I was going to do to change the weather, so I figured lets roll with the punches, its April, its expected. I went out and bought an adorable umbrella and rainboots, because I love those photos outside in the rain. It rained all day Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning we woke up and it was GORGEOUS. It was 65 and Sunny. We were even able to have our outside ceremony. Our Banquet Manager said to us, it must have been so nice out, since I spent all of that money on an umbrella and shoes, I must have swayed the weather the other way .




Monogram – Amazing!
I knew a girl that got married in 2008 and she referred me to another LIW bride that made me the most gorgeous monograms. I used one of them on our wedding invitation. I forwarded it to our invitation woman (Tessa) (you will read about her next), and she incorporated it into our design. I also have another monogram that she sent to us that I am planning on using with our thank you cards.



Invitations – Tessa Gonzalez – Even Star Paperie – A+
www.even star paperie.com
She was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with. I found her through LIW, a bunch of the 2008 and 2009 brides were planning on using her and all or her samples that we on her website were utterly gorgeous. Michael & I had priced out invitations at Party City and through a few websites. I had my heart set on pocket-fold invitations and our wallets set on plain jane invitations. We felt that the invitation was the first glimpse that the invitee has of your wedding, what are they going to think when they get this invitation?. I figured why not – let’s email Tessa and see what she can cook up for us. I figured out what our budget was for our invitations and sent her exactly what we could spend. She ended up making us gorgeous invitations (even nicer than those higher end invites at Party City) for a fraction of the price that I would have spent at Party City. She made personalized response cards, addressed our invitations, addressed our response cards, she was an absolute dream to work with. I would use her again if I had an occasion without a doubt! I would literally email her every day and she would get back to me, everyone raved at how gorgeous the invitations came out – which to me was very important, I wanted our guests to get a feel for how our wedding was going to be. She also did our stickers for our favor boxes and the stickers that were on the place card jars (the photos from these will be later in the review!).


Burton’s Bridals (My Gown, BM Dresses, MOB Dress) Carole – A+
My Dress was unbelievable. It was nothing that I had pictured myself wearing. It is Allure Bridals #8582, in Ivory. My MOH and Bridesmaids were in Bill Levkoff #550. My MOH was in Champagne with a Chocolate Brown Sash and my BMs were in Chocolate Brown with a Champagne Sash. I think that after many Bridesmaids dresses that we had gone through, this was the one that everyone agreed on. (It was definitely my favorite.) My BMs had no issue with getting an appointment for fittings, and they had even called me on my cell phone while I was at work to talk about the different kinds of bustles they could use for the girls dresses (there was a small train and the tails from the sash came down too long as well) – they emailed me pictures until we were happy with what the dresses would look like. ?



My Mother work Caterina #3000 (still sounds like a dishwasher to me ) in Sapphire. She put that dress on and just beamed happiness. It was just perfect for her. We went for her first fitting and it fit perfectly, they just had to do a hem and adjust the top slightly. She was still in love with it when it came in.

I ordered my dress with Carole back in March 2008. I had shopped around at a few different bridal salons and upon putting on my dress, I just had THE feeling. This was my dress. This was the dress that I was supposed to be married in. So I shopped around over the phone, probably every bridal salon across the Island for the best price that they could give me on my dress before I would even go into the store. Why drive all over Long Island if no one could do better? I touched base with Carole and she beat everyone’s prices by just over $500. That’s a big difference. That to me brought an unaffordable dress right into my budget. I was ecstatic and I went, ordered it, got fitted and sealed the deal. It was such a rush to get that accomplished. My dress came in and I had my first fitting on Feb 25th – The dress fit PERFECTLY – I needed NO alterations – JUST a BUSTLE! I fell in love my dress all over again!






The next horrifying thing would be to find bridesmaids dresses. I think that it isn’t terrible if you do not have a problem telling people what you think. I hated the first dress that they all agreed on, they waited too long to go and order it (which I wasn’t going to rush!) and I found out that they had discontinued it! (SCORE!). So we went back to the drawing board. I took my MOH out and we picked out the dress. I gave all of the information to Carole about what style number, what girl in what color combination and their names. All they had to do was show up with their deposit and she would take care of the rest. She made the process such a breeze. Dress shopping was probably one of the easiest tasks that we accomplished when it came to planning and it was all Carole!

Tuxedos – Rogers, Centereach – A+
We first booked our wedding through Mens Wearhouse (FM For details) – that didn't work out so beautifully, so we went with Rogers, with little time to work with, they spent literally 2 hours the first day with me picking out colors and putting what combinations for what person on cards so it was a quick process for everyone. The tuxedos looked utterly AMAZING, the guys all looked sharp. I wish I would have thought to go to Rogers first because not only were they a pleasure to work with, they were almost HALF the price as MW.


Wedding Bands – Littman Jewelers – A+
Michael knows one of the women who works at the South Shore Mall in Bay Shore. He had purchased all of my jewelry from them over the years so it was a given that we were going to them for our wedding bands. We both weren’t sure what exactly we wanted in our wedding bands, but I knew I wanted yellow gold. I put on a few different bands with my engagement ring and I just couldn’t place what the problem was … it just didn’t look right. Well as it turns out I have a ‘knife edge setting’. Once she took out a band with a knife edge setting and put it with my engagement ring – that was it. I was sold. Michael had wanted something similar to what I picked out, she was a very big help with helping him pick out the right band for him. They spent probably close to another hour with him just looking at bands and trying on different styles. But I do think that it was easier for her to know my taste, after all the years of knowing exactly what was sitting in my jewelry box. - No pics yet

Day of Jewelry – Lia Sophia (A+), Swarovski (A+), Burtons for my Tiara (A+), Classic-Earrings.com (A+)

I bought my DOJ bracelets and my BMs DOJ from Lia Sophia. My mother had a party one night and I figured since I hadn’t really jumped into looking that much at DOJ for them – it would be the perfect opportunity. I immediately fell in love with the Fantastia Collection. It had the necklace, earrings, and bracelet. The bracelet was so pretty that I purchased one for myself, along with two other bracelets (hehe!), Michael had surprised me at my shower with a gift from my step daughter – it was a gorgeous bracelet from Swarovski. How could I not have worn it? ?

My tiara I got from Burton’s – I had ordered my gown from them and while I waited to be measured I found myself eyeing up a tiara. I noticed that is had a tag on it that said it was on sale since it was a ‘sample’ – on sale for $99. I tossed the idea around and I really thought that was unreasonable. Boy was I wrong. I looked at the price tag a little further – if I had ordered it and it wasn’t a ‘sample’ it was $259! I thought I would kick it around that night and see how I felt about it in the morning. I googled probably close to 10-20 different websites and I kept comparing it to the tiara that I had seen at Burton’s. That sealed the deal for me. If I was comparing all of these other tiaras (that were WAY more than the $99 one at Burton’s) than it was meant to be. I rushed back the next day to see if they still had it as a floor sample (it has always been my luck that whatever I want is never still available) – well they still had it – I took it home right away. I had it ready for my hair trial. I still haven’t found anything else that would have been more perfect for me than that tiara. I would check out their selection. They had close to 10-12 different tiaras and probably the same amount of combs on display that all had ‘sample’ prices. You have to imagine that they MAYBE go in someone’s hair for 10-15 minutes at most. It wasn’t that big of a deal to me that someone else may have tried it on, and to me I couldn’t have seen myself spending $259 for one that no one else had tried on.

My earrings. I saw an 08er’s review and I became driven to find the earrings that she had worn or something very similar. As it turns out she had gotten them from a booth at Tri-County. I scoured that booth from top to bottom and there was nothing that came close to what she had. I was a little disappointed and I asked for help from the girls on the boards. Turns out they were able to find something very similar to what I had seen on classic-earrings.com. They came very quickly, were very high quality, without a doubt I would recommend this website to anyone.

My Veil – an 08 LIWer – A+
I checked the boards for deal all of the time especially at the beginning stages of planning. I had seen a few different veils at a few bridal salons and nothing really did it for me. I couldn’t see myself getting married with those veils. My dress has a lot of detail and I didn’t want to feel like it was just too much. I wanted a very plain jane veil. I found an 08er who was selling her veil, because it was the wrong color for her dress. As it turned out she ordered it in Diamond White. My dress was Diamond White. SCORE! So I made a date and time to meet up with her and I purchased her veil!! Was very easy and it only cost me $30! I would say check her out but I doubt she has any others left over. My step mother has been sewing and customizing things forever, in a trip up to see them I brought my veil and she ordered tiny rhinestones to attach to the veil and a mannequin head to make sure everything laid out perfectly.

Flower Girl Dress – Renate’s – Lindenhurst – A+
I grew up in Lindenhurst, Renate’s was right at the end of our block that I had spent 15 years of my life. In my quest to find the right look for our flower girl dress, that afternoon – myself, my mom, and my mother’s friend went to four different bridal salons to look for a pattern that we had liked. My mother’s friend was going to make the flower girl dress for us. I didn’t find anything that jumped out at me. I just wanted something ‘different’ – I knew that I wanted her to match my dress and the bridesmaids – I just didn’t have a vision of exactly what I wanted. So after spending the better part of the afternoon in bridal salons, we drove back to my mom’s house and she mentioned to stop at Renate’s – why not – its on the way. Well we went inside and they were very helpful there. I explained very vaguely what I had wanted and they had shown me to the section of flower girl dresses. My mother’s friend wandered around and found a ‘discontinued’ rack. I was a little hesitant to go and look through the dresses, what if I had found something that I loved and it was the wrong size. Well that would have just sent me into a tizzy. She found a dress and was showing me how gorgeous it was. It was ivory for the top and champagne on the bottom and it was a size 6!!! What are the chances? My flowergirl was going to be 6 in 2 months after the wedding. I bought it (and it was 50% off!) and had her try it on the next day. It still had room for her to grow into it – it was perfect!




Sandframes – A+
I knew that I had wanted a sand ceremony and once I stumbled upon these and just HAD to have it. We placed the order and it came in about 10 days later. Very easy and quick.



Huntington Hilton – Room Blocks – Jana – B
The entire process was plain and simple in the beginning, but once we were at the hotel, I wasn't as pleased. The room was great, but they knew that we were getting up at 4am to start hair and make up and it was left out to me that the kitchen for room service (coffee, tea, breakfast) didn't open until 7am?!?, they don't have safes in the room, which I was very unhappy about with having our wedding rings just lying around, and there was no mini-fridge for me to put my flower girls flower crown in- I had to call down for them to deliver a mini fridge, and I was in the best suite in the hotel. One of my bridesmaids called down for breakfast at 7am and there was such a miscommunication, they wanted to charge us $112 for one breakfast for room service, she ended up going hungry until we got to the hall at 10am. If you are booking their suite, just make sure you make these requests prior to arriving the night before the wedding.

The Cheesecake Lady – Cathy Smith – A+
I had used her for cheesecakes and I just knew once Barbara (BarbieGrl) had used her for her engagement party and they went over so well, that I just had to have them for our wedding favors. I love the idea of edible favors, it went very well. I met with her a few weeks before the wedding and gave her all of the boxes, stuffing, stickers, and bows and she delivered them the morning of the wedding. Just delish!



Estelle’s – Ceremony Shoes – B+
The shoes are fantastic, the customer service there – not so much. I was absolutely disappointed in the level of service that I was given as a customer. I felt like I was an annoyance to the woman in the shoe department. Maybe it is because the place is always packed wall to wall and they are understaffed? I saw two women running back and forth and there were probably about 8 of us waiting for shoes. But the other women were not my primary concern. DH is approx 5 inches taller than me. I wanted to be shorter than him in the pictures where I am wearing my heels. So I limited the heel height to anything less than 3 inches. I thought I was being reasonable. I went to the dyables section, so I wouldn’t have to worry about the heel height AND the color. I asked the woman for a shoe that was in my size that had a 2 ½ inch heel or less. She came back 5 minutes later with a plastic ruler in her hand for me to measure the heel height. That didn’t sit too well with me. I had her bring me the “Dutchess” pair and it was love at first wear. They fit comfortably (I got one size larger – I didn’t want them to be the perfect size for fear that I wouldn’t break them in enough and I didn’t want to worry about my feet hurting during the ceremony). I would check them out again because their selection is huge, just don’t go in expecting to be #1.


CosmoNY (Hair) Roseanna Amador – A+
Roseanna was a dream the whole planning process, she was one of the first vendors that I knew I just had to have! We had 3 trials before the wedding, always hair down, loose curls, and she just knew what I wanted to do. Her and her assistant did all of our hair that morning, that morning I also decided to have my hair up, she perfected my hair and everyone looked absolutely stunning!





PrettyMe (MakeUp) Jacqueline Nicole – A+
She showed up bright and early with her assistant, everyone looked gorgeous, she was a dream to work with. Made everyone look so natural and gorgeous!

Officiant – Izzy (Close family friend) Priceless
How could we rate him? He customized so much of the ceremony to us since he has known us for so many years



DOC – Jennifer Sloan-Tocci – Fantabulous Planning – A+
She was amazing! She met us at the hotel and took the ride to the RH to make sure DH was locked into one of the bridal suites so I could sneak into my bridal suite and get dressed, she was on top of everything before there was any problems. She was one of the best investments we made for the wedding.

DJ – Spin Around Sound – Tom White – A+
DJ – Rio, MC - Tom
Tom had told us when we first booked him that Sunday weddings take a little bit of time to get everyone jumpin on the dance floor and I think it was a mix of our age group of people that were are the wedding, we didn't have too much of a younger crowd. Everyone that was younger was on the dance floor all day and the older people got on the dance floor after dinner. He was on point, knows his music, and knows what he is doing to get the party started.

Florist – Verbena Designs – Jenn McKeon – A+
I switched my flowers with Jen literally about 5 times. I think everytime that I called her she had a pang of anxiety that I was going to switch everything all over again. But each and every time I spoke with her, she was very accomodating, you could tell that she was smiling on the other end of the phone, you could just hear it in her voice. DH and I were going the day before the wedding to pick up the flower crown for the flower girl, and literally I think I screeched when I saw the flowers. They were more beautiful and full than I could have ever imagined. We had gotten letters to monogram around my bouquet, and each bridesmaid bouquet – they looked stunning. Also we had these huge green leaves that wrapped around the bouquets that just made them 'pop'. I had ivory vandella roses and ivory tulips with loops of brown bear grass, my MOH had pink lorena roses, ivory roses, pink and white tulips, and my bridesmaids had pink lorena roses and pink tulips. They all complemented each other beautifully. The CP's were absolutely stunning, our tall CP's were cherry blossoms and our low CP's were roses and tulips (approx 50 per CP) – our ceremony décor was simple, we had rented a podium from her where we had flowers adoring the front of it, we had hydrangea on the ends of the rows of seats, and we had a bunch of rose petals that Jen had put out to make a heart that we stood in the middle of during the ceremony. Our hallways to VYC were lined with flower petals, we wanted a super romantic feel.





Bridal Bouquet Jewelry – An 07 LIWer – A+
I originally was looking at the yard sale pages on LIW and I found this ‘cake jewelry’ being sold. I just HAD to have it. I can get very impulsive and when I am set on getting something, I HAVE to have it. So I figured that the cake is gorgeous with the cake jewelry on it – I hadn’t sen anything like this – so why not. I FMed her and I bought the jewelry. I totally blew off the part where I should have done my research with the bakery to see exactly how much this fondant cake was going to cost us. Well it was just over $600 for the frosting. That was definitely out of the budget for cake. We moved onto plan B. Unfortunately we did not know what plan B was in the beginning. I already had the cake jewelry – and I wasn’t just going to let it go to waste. I contacted our florist to see if there was a way that she would be able to work it into our bouquets. I had a bunch of pieces and she was able to work one piece into each bridesmaids bouquet as well. It gave it that 'bling' factor. (In a picture above)

ETSY.com – Table Numers – Seller: StaceysDaisyDesign – A+
I saw her work one day and I just knew that it would put the perfect touch on our wedding. I wanted something different that would work well with our theme – these were it. We emailed back and forth a few times until we nailed down exactly what would fit. She was so easy to work with and custom tailored our colors to match. She used Chocolate Brown font and Champagne colored ribbon. I would absolutely recommend using her for anything. She was so fantastic to work with. (In a picture above)


Photographer/Videographer – Golden Moments (Dan/Pat) – TBD
They arrived at VYC before I did and they greeted me coming from the limo as soon as I got there, I must say, they were fabulous and at some points I didn't even realize that they were there. We haven't gotten any of the final product back yet, So I will grade them onceit comes in.

Audrey’s Bakery – A+
We worked with Nancy at Audrey's – brought her a bunch of photos of cakes that we were looking at, and we were very confident that no matter what cake we decided on they would make it gorgeous AND delicious – and they did just that. We had two different types of cake one was vanilla cake with cannoli filling and the other type of cake was chocolate cake with chocolate pudding. We didn't get to eat any of it, but heard rave reviews about it! I also surprised DH with a grooms cake for our RD. AMAZING!




Morgan’s Bay Confections – Jeanne – A+
We booked Jeanne the moment we met her at our first appointment, when we walked into their studio and they had bowls full of chocolate truffles for us to have our 'tasting' – from then on we were a full on design team between certain boxes, ribbons, and stickers. Jeanne and her team was one of my ultimate favor vendors to work with. I would use her for any other types of holidays, those truffles were delicious and they looked so beautiful in all different types of designs and flavors.




Cake Topper – A+
I cant remember the website that we had gotten it from. But it came quickly and looked exactly like the website said it would. (It was from Foundations – Don't have a great picture of it yet)


Venetian Yacht Club A++++
BM – Giulio Cavalli, Maitre’D - George, Bridal Attendant – Sully
I must say, Giulio was a dream come true, he was our 'go to' person for almost everything, he listened, got back to me almost immediately whenever I had a question and he knew what our expectations were. George was our Maitre'D and we only met him the day of the wedding. He almost reminded me of Andy Garcia, he just had a way about him that made you just stop and listen, not in a bad way, definitely a good way, and he knew what needed to be done and in what time frame. I requested Sully probably like 8 months before our wedding, and we lucked out that she was available for our day. She was utterly amazing – she was at my side all day, took care of everything that I needed to get done, even helped my bridesmaids bustle my dress. I don't think the day would have gone as smoothly if I would have had anyone else. DEF request them!

DIY Projects (All from AC Moore) – A+
AC Moore always has sales once a month on a Sunday night from 6-9pm. Your entire order is 25% off. All of which can really add up. I had scoured their sales every month and I got everything that I had needed to put a personal touch on it all. I am the first one on my side of the family out of all of my cousins and my parent’s cousins kids to get married. It was kind of a big deal to do it, do it right, and do it differently than what they had expected from wedding that they had been to previously. I wanted something different that people would look back on and comment on the little thoughts that went into making this day special. AC Moore really gave me the capability to do it my way.
* Wish Bowls, Thank you letters, Card box, Bathroom baskets, Slipper Baskets*

Slippers – Intertrademart.com – C-
I had ordered them from this website they were a dozen for $18 plus tax and shipping and handling which definitely was more expensive than what I would have paid in China town ($1 each) but I didn’t have the time to make a trip into the city in hopes of finding exactly what I needed size wise and color wise in the slippers. I figured the easiest way was to just order them off of the internet and call it a day. They came very quickly. Unfortunately they were ‘multi’ color when I had picked out exclusively black, white, pink and gold. I called the company and they do not communicate well since there is a language barrier. We were finally able to come to an agreement and I shipped back the slippers and once they received them, it took about a week for them to ‘find’ them in the warehouse. But Lee was very helpful after that and packaged my pink, white, and black Chinese slippers and mailed them back to me within two days of finding my package. I am very happy with how they worked out, but it ended up being a little bit of a headache to call Maryland and get back to the post office and spend over $20 in shipping to get those slippers in the right colors. If you are to order them, I would place the order over the phone or be happy with multi colors. I must say, after the headache, it was money well spent, by the time DH and I got introduced into the reception, there were maybe 5 or 6 pairs of slippers left in the basket and everyone had them on!

Favor Tags – Vista Print – A+
How can you beat vistaprint? It was $6 for shipping and I got 250 business cards that doubled as favor tags. I also used the tags for our organza bags that the valets would place in the cars with Hershey’s Kisses in. They were left there for the ride home. There is nothing better than a surprise that you know that the bride and groom were thinking of your drive home. I use vista print a lot and I would definitely check it out if you want an inexpensive way to enhance your wedding.

Favor Boxes –Uline.Com – A+
The boxes came as a 3x3x3 plain jane white box. They came in a bulk package of 200 for the discounted price, which worked for us, we bought bows, stuffed them with tissue paper and attached a bow. I figured why were we going to splurge on the packaging of this favor when everyone was just going to eat it and throw the packaging in the garbage. I must say with staying within budget for this favor, it looked absolutely gorgeous! (In picture above for Cheesecake Favor)

Bows – Nashville Wraps.Com – A+
Again this came in a bulk package of 200 for under $20. They matched the pink theme that we had throughout the wedding, and they were a peel and stick type of thing. The type of bows that you would use for Christmas presents. At the end of the day, it was exactly what we needed to do at the last minute, saved us lots of time from having to make an actual bow and tie it around the box. It came quickly – probably 2-3 days after we ordered from that website. (In picture above for Cheesecake Favor)


Candy Kiss Stickers – Ebay Seller: Personallizedyourway - A+
When I order something – I can become a little bit of a pain in the tush – that’s just my nature. A lot of my vendors probably kicked themselves after they began dealing with me. If you would answer my email – I would send another one back with a question and get somewhat frustrated if my question went unanswered all day. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this vendor. She was very prompt in answering all of my questions and personalized a theme for us that matched our theme. They came in the allotted time that was listed on her website and they were in the exact color shade. Check her out.

Travel Agent – Empress Travel – Cathy – 631-226-0606– A+
We had used Cathy from Empress a few times prior to booking our honeymoon and honestly we did not have a clue as to where we wanted to go. We told her we wanted an all inclusive and she came up with Excellence Playa Mujeres. I must say I had been obsessing about going there since the day that we booked it. Cathy, Lorraine, and Claudia were absolutely amazing the whole process, when the price of the resort went on a ‘special’ that we qualified for, I just called them and they readjusted the pricing. We booked at full price, and by the time we went to pick up our tickets, the pricing went DOWN 30%! We had them paid off since day 1, which was nice, since they had to give US money, it definitely helped with last minute expenses. I will absolutely use them for ANY other trips that we need to book in the future.
