The quality is much better than shown in these proofs...I had to resize a lot! Enjoy!
THE WATERMILL: 10. Amazing. Everything was present and set up as per our contract. The bridal attendant and maitre'd were wonderful. As soon as we arrived they were ready for us with plates and all sorts of food and drink in our bridal suite. Everyone raved about the decor, the food, the service. No one has any worries. And the Black Forest wedding cake! I highly recommend. Funny story: my grandma, hungry the next night found it in the fridge at my parents' house and ate the top layer the WM had saved for us! Gotta love it. Really, though. It was my dream venue and wedding. We dealt mainly with Glenn Bezold, director of operations. Oh! I had the idea to put family wedding photos in antique frames on the fireplace mantle behind our sweetheart table. Everyone loved it and found it to be a really personal touch. WM Brides, utilize this mantle for special things! And the Martini bar was the BIGGEST hit of the night.
TIMEPIECE, FRANK WAYNE MUSIC. 9. The calls once again have not stopped while we were on our honeymoon. They got everyone up dancing. The 9 is because here's what only we noticed. I'd asked them to play my parents, his parents, and a set of grandparents' wedding songs for everyone to dance to and instead of just announcing it and letting everyone dance, they made these 3 dances 'spotlight' dances. Everyone actually loved seeing them dance alone. Still, Timepiece is hands down a class act party band that all our friends LOVED!
JAMES CRESS FLORIST: 10. Everything arrived perfect and on time. Gorgeous. My bouquet had huge white callas, stephanotis, and freesia.
YOU'RE INVITED, TOO: 10!!! Invites, menu cards, place cards, mini cocktail shaker favors, church programs. This vendor, Tara, is a friend of mine and she was amazing. We got our Encore Studios invites through her.
OKSANA AND JENN: If I could give them higher than 10, I would. Arrived on time and made us all look gorgeous. Oksana even hugged my mom when she got emotional while getting her makeup done. My house was tense and crazy and these ladies calmed us all down. Wonderful. My hair looked amazing!!! Makeup lasted, too.I paid a little extra to have Oksana with me a few more hours.
ADRIENNE'S BRIDAL SHOP. 5. GRRRRRRR. On the whole, it is a nice shop with gorgeous gowns but I urge you to deal with Sophia at the front desk and Cleo as a seamstress. Keep on them, ladies!
WHITE WINGS, NY: Dove Release. 10!!! Amazing. People raved about it. Macy was on time, sweet, and called me the day before to go over the plan.
ANDREAS RENTSCH, PHOTOGRAPHER: 10. Andreas is a photojournalist and arrived at my home with his wife who is his assistant photog. They were professional and he was snapping in color and BW all over the place.
ULTIMATE CLASS LIMO: Again, higher than 10. These limos were gorgeous. We had a regular limo, an X-type Jag, and '57 Bentley. The 'wedding coordinator' was the driver who did everything from help me into the car, hold my bouquet, fluff my gown, and keep Dad calm in the Bentley. The ride to the church was great.
S&S TUXEDO. 7 Okay but my dad's tux was wrong when he picked it up on Thursday. He had to go back to Hicksville. It was kinda his fault cause he ran out sans trying it on first.
ELEGANT EATING: 10. Elegant Eating is in Hauppauge and it's great. They catered my at-home shower and some snacks for between church and wedding.
105 HARBOR, Rehearsal Dinner: This is our favorite place in Cold Spring Harbor. Food, service, views are excellent.
WEATHER!!! 10! It was great out and we even got outside for some shots.

Lana! OMG lady!!!!! What can I say that you probably don't already know about your wedding!?! Your hair, makeup, dress, STUNNING. The pic of your dad getting all teary looking at you.......Ugghh. I love it! I can't believe you got sick a week before the wedding. That has been my fear since I'm a little girl. Honestly, everytime I have something big to do, I end up with a nasty virus, or bronchitis. I'm glad you were better by the day of the wedding. What was your 1st song?

Dawnie, our first song was 'I Could Not Ask For More' by Edwin McCain. What's yours?
Thanks so much for all the sweet compliments!!! Yeah, I was nasty sick, and as you can see, the dress was still slightly big in the boob area but there was only so much they could do the week before!
