Overstock.com A
Groomsmen gifts
Jesse wanted to get all the guys watches so he found a fossil watch on overstock.com, we ordered them and received them on time. My only complaint was that the tins the watches came in were all different and some were very girly. We could not and would give a man a watch that came in a tin with a stiletto heals on it. I called overstock.com and spoke to a wonderful sales rep named Ryan, he shipped us matching tins which
Were very ”Manly”. Lol

One of my FAVORITE vendors. My Flowers were BEAUTIFUL!! I could not be happier. My guests are still raving about how gorgeous the flowers were.

Timeless Treasures (Ray) A+ for day of- waiting on video. Ray was there early and got right to work. Sometimes I didn’t even notice he was there. He is such a sweet heart and I know my video is going to be just amazing! I cannot wait to see it!

Always Perfect Studios-Pending.. still waiting on pics..
Okay this vendor is located in David’s bridal. I booked them a while back and had some doubts but decided to stick with them. My Photographer Peter was a bit old fashion. I felt as if we had to direct him and he was very stubborn. Thank god he brought someone else with him who had vision because I would have just fainted. I am trying so hard not to worry or judge him until I see my pictures.

They kept the dance floor packed all night! They were wonderful! Played all the music I requested and kept the party going! I highly recommend them as well . Another one of my favorite vendors!

Food and service was great! Highly recommended!

Janet King
Harpist A+
She was great! The harp is just such a beautiful instrument. It put such an elegant feel to my ceremony and CH.

Crest Hollow Country Club
Ceremony and Reception A+++++++++++
I am so glad we pick the CHCC. Sharon my banquet manager was great! I am so glad I had an outdoor ceremony because it was so beautiful! It was like a fairytale! The cocktail hour was to die for! It was outside poolside and looked absolutely amazing! Our Matire’d Lawrence was right on top of things! He knew how much my FI loved shrimp cocktail and he had a tray following us the entire day and a huge one on our table during the Reception. It was really a dream come true. Everyone keeps raving about the food.





Liberty Travel- A
Levittown
I left the honeymoon up my hubby and he priced out all different packages in St Lucia. We brought the least expensive one to Liberty travel they matched the price and threw in a free candlelight dinner for 2 on the beach. We were sold!







My Honeymoon Review

I first want to start by saying that my Honeymoon was AMAZING. Jesse and I had such a wonderful time. Here ya go....

We went to Sandals Grande St. Lucia we booked with Christine at Liberty Travel in Levittown; she was great and even threw in a Candle Light dinner on the Beach.

May 27 2007: We took a 645am flight from JFK to Puerto Rico with American Airlines than we took American Eagle to the small airport in St. Lucia which was about 20 minutes from the Resort. We arrived at the resort around 2:45pm. We were brought directly to the Concierge to check in. We were brought to our Honeymoon Beach front Concierge room.











We went Jet skiing then back to our room to order room service and relax.





Day 2- We got massages on the Pier which was so relaxing, after we went snorkeling than went to the beach bbq hosted by sandals. We had tons of fun!








Day 3-We took a tour of the Island. Some places we saw were the Volcano, The waterfall, and banana plantations. The island is just so beautiful……









That evening we had our candle light dinner on the beach. The food was so yummy! After we signed up to play the newlywed game and got picked it was hilarious!









Day 4- We went horseback riding and had a beach bbq. This was my first time going horseback riding I have to admit I was a little nervous but it turned out to be tons of fun! The food at the bbq was great too! We even got to bring the horses in the Ocean! That evening we went to Barefoot for dinner! The food and service was great! This was one of my favorite restaurants especially for day time snacks!



Day 5- Water sports on the resort. Wakeboarding, waterskiing, windsurfing etc. In evening we went to La Toc the French restaurant at the Regency. We enjoyed the food and the service was great.



Day 6- Scuba!! I do not have any pictures because yet but this was lots of fun! This was a first for both of us and we really enjoyed it!

For dinner that night we went to Toscannis (Italian restaurant). Food was good, service as usual was amazing!

Day 7- Rainforest Canopy! This was so much fun! Pictures describe it all!







Day 8- More water sports! We went parasailing! This was cool. I don’t have pictures yet they are on other camera! We took out a hobie (a mini sail boat thing lol), this was fun too. We went to the London pub for dinner, great place for burgers and bar snacks!






Yeah this is me doing all those water sports! HA!

Day 9-(our last day) this was a day of shopping then relaxation! We went to the market and duty free for some shopping in the morning! That afternoon we hung by the beach! For dinner we went to Barefoot.

As for the food, we enjoyed all of the food we ate. I have to say I have heard some complaints about the food on here but it really was good. The portions are smaller. The one thing I learned was not to experiment I stuck with food I knew I would like! Overall this was the best vacation ever we cannot wait to go back. We are thinking about having our 5 year vow renewal there! If you have any questions let me know!
