ANOTHER SPIN ON VENDOR

I would highly recommend the following:

My Catering hall - Flowerfield
Bridal Salon - Bridal Suite in Centereach (Debbie)
Videographer - Wild Rose. I havent seen the finished product, but they have been a pleasure to deal with.
Make up - Melanie from Chanel

I dont want to dwell on the negative, but we had problems with our photographer and band. Most of you know who they are!

I forgot my bridal salon!!

Bridal Suite of Bay Shore!! they were the nicest people...and while my BM had an attitude and they gave it back to her a little...I think she diserved it (she didn't bring her shoes - like I told her to - and they wouldn't fit her)

Most of my vendors.
My dj..Tommy's Tunes
video...JR video
photos..Patken
flowers..James Cress

And of course my hall...Villa Lombardi's

Jenn -
The reason I dont have my video yet is because we didnt give them the pictures for quite a while. I was waiting on my husband to get baby pictures and his mom just moved. Time was going by so we decided to just add pictures of me and him together. Thats why I dont have it yet.

I would recommend:
-Imagine for photo and video...right there with ya on that Shamma!
-Atlantica, my catering hall for their outstanding and accomodating service as well as their awesome food and beautiful location!
-Bayport Flower House for the outstanding job they did on helping me create my vision.
-Mary Brunetti at the Salon at Westhampton Bath and Tennis, for great hair and makeup, a loaner extension that matched perfectly, and constant touch ups throughout the night!
-Krompier entertainment as my DJ for insuring just about everyone at my wedding was on the dance floor for at least several intervals and having a great time throughout the night!

I would highly recommend . . .
- Imagine Studios for photography/video - I can't say enough great stuff about Lia and Nelson - I'm sure you've all heard it a million times -
- Lizard Designs (www.lizarddesigns.com) - My invitations were amazing - Custom-designed (no extra charge), unique and affordable. Liz was a pleasure to work with and does amazing work.
- Sans Souci of Sea Cliff (my hall) - They made the day unforgettable - Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, just perfect -
- Albert Lee Music (DJ) - Had everyone dancing all night, played nothing I didn't want to hear - And cheap!

I would recommend for sure:

Full House - our band. Claud stole my review! I would definielt call them again when we need a band. They were amazing.

The Meadow Club - our recpetion was wonderful and to this day we are still getting compliments.

The Royal Brass - trumpets and string quartet. They were great and a pleasure to work with. They even learned our recessional song for us without a hitch (since it was a family composed piece).

Jackie from I Make Up You - she was there ready and waiting for us when we got home from the salon. My make-up stayed all night long and I never felt like I had make-up on.

Giovanna from Giovanna's for hair - she was wonderful! She does my hair normally, and my hair for the wedding stayed all night long. It was in for at least 17 hours - veil and all - and nothing fell out and my veil never moved.

My best vendors were:

Old Field Club - NO problems at all - were wonderful to work with and didn't think I was neurotic at all
Sugar Magnolia's - my flowers and centerpieces were gorgeous, and Heidi was a sweetie to work with.

B rett M atthews Photography - John and his asst were amazing. We loved our pictures and the one minor issue I had recently was resolved professionally.

Spin Around Sound - Tom was great - many ppl commented on how great the music was at our wedding

Sterling Music Ensembles - String quartet played beautifully, and arrived on time :)

I would not recommend my bridal store or cake lady

I have to say I picked up my 16X20 from cassarinos today and wow!!!
it is gorgeous
its outside w/ all the pretty flowers on a walkway in color , full dress and flowers, full length shot, in the background there is even an american flag on a pole which is in front of the fox hollow in

it looks so portrait like
I am very pleased

Tammy I can't wait to see it!!! We just picked up our 20x24 last week from Grey and it came out great too - even if it was taken inside b/c of the rain

Forgot to comment on my limos!

All Star was awesome! We went back and forth with the times a lot, so it was confusing. They were always professional and on the day of the drivers were so sweet.
