So sorry to hear about all the trouble with your dress and with WOTL. But it really goes to show what a wedding is about - not the dress, or the photo ops, but the experience of marrying the person who's meant for you. It's so nice that despite all the mishaps you're so happy and still loved your day. It's really nice for a worrywart bride like me to hear!
Congrats!!!

What a beautiful bride! You looked stunning
Thanks for the review, I am sure you are glad the stress of the day is over. Make sure to write letters to all your vendors noting the good and bad service you received.
Congrats to you and hubby

All in all me, my DH and all our guest had a great time. It was a great day and even with all the slip ups and mistakes that I am writing about right now, that day they didn’t really bother me (its just that now I have time to think back on it all!) I married the greatest guy in the world, my best friend, and nothing could have ruined that!
I totally agree with this - there were things that went wrong on my day too but at the time, I barely noticed! Congratulations! You looked beautiful! I also used With All My Heart and ADA and thought they both did a great job as well.
And I have to tell you, I love this picture!!!

WOW....My wedding was a week earlier then yours and I had such a different experience with Windows. I couln't hav ebeen happier with everything there. I guess it just depends on the night. Our cocktail hour started at 7 and we started taking pics there at 5:30....and our bridal attendant was so attentive as well as Walter.
You looked beautiful!

wow and I almost picked that place. thank god we didn't. when I first went to check it out I was with one of my good friends, the guy came out and told us how cool it would be to do a lesbian wedding. than I had to explain my fiance was working, she was just a friend! sort of weird comment to make. no other place made a comment like that and we went to half the places on long island together. it all seemed great until a few days later when I went back with my fiance and found out during our ceremony cars could drive by as we got married! than not sure how many people you had but we're having like 150-200 and they said that would fit comfortably in their room.
i'm sorry but if you count the chairs there, unless you shove people in that back corner there is not enough room. we weren't about to shove people in the back room where they can't even see us, and would be behind a wall. how horrible is that? in the end we went with Jericho terrace, thank god though after reading this review. I know the guy your talking about too. they should have thrown something in for the inconvience, that's just wrong.

We THOUGHT we were going to have 160 people at our wedding and thank goodness we didn't because the cocktail room would NOT have even fit that many! It was even a tight squeeze with almost 130 people....the tables are just soo close together! You will be totally happy with Jericho Terrace...I hear it's amazing!

It is just so weird how we had two totally different experiences! And trust me I am not a picky person, I considerd myself to be one of most laid back brides that ever lived, and when things went wrong I would just brush it off.....but WOTL was just plain horrible to us no matter how you look at it!
Who was your bridal attendant? Ours was Emily and like I said, we saw her for a combined 15-20 minutes throughout the whole cocktail hour AND reception!
I am really glad you had such a great experience! You looked so happy in all your pics! Congrats to you!

Your reviews for all the vendors were great! Very honest and helpful! I'm so sorry you had to deal with those things on your wedding day but you look beautiful in all the pictures and it sounds like you and your husband are happy which is the only thing that truly matters in the end. Congratulations and best wishes in the future:)
