11/6 Bourne Mansion/ HM in South Pacific

This will be very brief, extended to follow:

Mother Nature: A+++, perfect one of the most beautiful Saturdays in Nov.

M & V Limos: A+++, I heard lots of negative stuff on this website about them, but I had no issues with them. Prompt, considerate and professional service.

Make-up by Evie - A++++, make-up came out perfect. Everyone was so happy and looked amazing

Hair by Jennifer - B - My hair was perfect, the girls and my mother were not as happy with theirs. My mother had even done a trial.

Dresses by Burtons - D only because I got a great price on my dress and the girls dresses, but their service is horrible. You really need to push them and have the attitude that 'I know what's' best for me' , don't listen to them.

Flowers by Burton - A++++, Everything was perfect, I had absolutely no issues with them. My flowers were exactly what I wanted, my girls flowers were exactly what I wanted and very full. We had tall candelabra white centerpieces and they were perfect, full not a lot of fillers, all flowers. My guests were floored. In the mansion we decorated perfectly, flowers everywhere and it totally added to the ambiance of the place.

Bourne Mansion: A++++, Perfect, exceeded my expectations and my guest were gushing. The food was amazing, per my guests and family opinions, the service was professional, Steve the maitr'd was great! Everyone is still talking about the wedding and the place. We had the martini bar, impressed everyone to the top and the chocolate fountain was also amazing.

Visual Concepts - A++++, my pictures are beautiful amazing.

Claire's Confections - A, favors were choc. truffles in brick red boxes with brown ribbons to offset the white centerpieces and table cloths, They were perfect, but they were just thrown in the box, no tissue or anything.

LI Wedding Planners - B- Part of M & V limos, for invites and other stationary, Had some issues with addressing envelopes and ordered stuff in wrong amount and stuck me for the bill. FM if you want to here more

HM in Bora Bora and Moorea, A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Worth every single penny we spent, best place we have ever been in our lives, worth every second on the planes there and back
We stayed at the Pearls on both Islands, A++++++++++++++, we paid for top notch service and that is what we received, nightly turn down, flowers on the bed, champagne, food amazing, people great, the experience of a lifetime, what to hear more FM me. I would go back right now if I had the money. We are going back in 5 years.

I will go further into detail if anyone wants any other information. Make sure to express to your vendors exactly what you want. Express concern about some of the negative stuff you may have heard about them, it seems to make they actually work for you.

Most of all, I remember every moment of my wedding, from when I woke up to the time I put my head on my pillow. Look at your husband having the time of his life. Make sure to see everything you paid for and take it all in.

And don't forget to consummate your marriage on your wedding night, it was one of the most unbelievable experiences of our life, our first moment as husband and wife. Share the moment together, that's what marriage is all about, showing and loving as one.
