Dbleplay17 review: CLM, Velvet Studios, FlowerBarn, Dancejock, Sir Oliver, Inkspun,, dancejock pics p2, Video highlight clip Link *Update 10/3/07 ALBUM LAYOUTS pg 3
**UPDATE PG 3 ALBUM LAYOUTS FROM VELVET
I am very happy
I really don’t have a bad review on vendors. I was very happy with everything! My vendors def went above and beyond for my day!
Weather C then an A+
It poured the day before our wedding. I was besides myself! But I realized there is nothing you can do but make the best of it. So I ran out to the store and bought my BMs all matching umbrellas and I got me and the DH a big black umbrella. Well we didn’t need it! Before church it was cloudy and was raining a little bit. When we were in church we saw the sun starting to shine in….we got so happy! DH whispered to me look the sun is coming out. We got our pictures at the beach! We used the umbrellas for the BMs in the picture it looked so cute and pretty. So by the wedding the weather was an A+ I gave it a C for stressing me out!
St Rose of Lima C then A
This was the most confusing thing for the wedding. Our paperwork got messed up we wound up taking precana first then the FOCCUS test. They had dates wrong. Didn’t call me back on things! It was a nightmare. When we booked they neglected to tell us the bazaar was in the parking lot. I found out a few weeks before my wedding! But as far as the day of everything was perfect. Just the process was unorganized
Father Tom Tuite A++++++
I love Father Tom. He is absolutely the best! He was at St Rose when we were younger. We tracked him down at Our Lady of Mercy in Hicksville and he came to St Rose for us! He makes everything so easy! Love him!
Rehearsal Dinner Il Classico in Massapequa A++++
Superior food and service! Everything was so nice! And the food was DELISH!!!
Dortoni Bakery Groom’s Cake A++++ LIW VENDOR
They were awesome. I went in looking for a beach theme cake that had waves and surfboards. They made a gorgeous cake and it was sooooo tasty! Amazing work and decently priced!!
Velvet Studio Photography Day of A+++++++++++++++++++++ As far as the day of Bob and his family were the Best to work with! They all made us feel comfortable. They are an awesome family team. Bob is the main photographer. His wife is the photojournalistic, his son the videographer and his daughter is the lighting assistant. They were fun and funny. I added the Proofs from Velvet at the bottom
Proofs A+++++++++++++ Love them!
Sir Oliver Limos A+++++++++++++++++++++ LIW VENDOR
They were great. On time and so professional. We had a 1940 caddy and the new escalade. Joe was our driver and he was awesome! He used the wedding horns that were so loud and awesome! He was so sweet when we were taking pics on the beach he came down and held water for us. We left all the umbrellas in the car cause it was nice but we wanted it or a pic he ran back to the car to get them! So sweet. He also picked us up afterwards and was even the driver in the morning to the airport! I liked that we had the same driver all the time for all trips. He was AWESOME! The cars were completely clean and gorgeous!
DanceJock Productions Scott the owner MC A++++++++++++++++++ LIW VENDOR
OMG they rocked CLM! The floor was always packed! We had the package with 3 plasmas and the Maximus lighting! Def worth every penny! Scott was awesome. He has that classic MC voice I loved it! He is so energetic! Everyone was talking about how great the DJ was weeks after the wedding. I know someone that wants to hire them for his daughter’s wedding from seeing them at our wedding! They def rocked! The DJ also offered to sell you the shots they took during the wedding. We got them b/c we kept hearing guest saying how great they looked on the screens. I just got the CD and DVD of it in the mail and there are 263 pics! It is of al of guests and us. It is great b/c th photographers focused mostly on us and our close family. It was a great addition to our pictures.
FlowerBarn Mike A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LIW VENDOR
Mike was so sweet! He knew totally what I wanted when I explained it to him. Other florists had no clue! He was right on! The Bo-Ks were gorgeous. We agreed on clear crystals in the stephanotis and the day of he said he had some blue crystals he threw in (Blue was my color!) OMG it was gorgeous! The flowers at the reception were beautiful! He did such a great job and listened to what I wanted and made it amazing! After the wedding and our honeymoon he even FM’ed me to ask how my honeymoon was! He is truly so sweet! If you are trying to find a florist he is amazing and cares what you have to say!!!
Wedding Cake Collette Foley Specialty Baking
This was my Favorite thing at my wedding!
A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This was one thing I HAD TO HAVE! I did not take the cake from CLM because I wanted only her to do my cake. She did a cake for my friends wedding and I fell in love with her work! The cake was the most delicious cake I had ever had. I gave her a picture of what I wanted and she made it BETTER than the picture. She did a phenomenal job! My mom had got my bridal shower cake through her and people were asking me at the wedding if it was the same baker cause they cannot wait to have it again!
Collette Foley Specialty Baking
She came and gave us mini cakes for a tasting to see what combo we wanted. We talked over the phone of the fillings we were considering. She showed up at our apartment with this
This was the picture I had given her for our wedding cake
Here is our wedding cake! It was so tall it was surreal!
Lillette’s Pat Fiore A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What can I say I am biased! Pat is my MIL. She is just the best! I am not lying other girls had been helped by her! Love her!
Here is me in my dress 
Sal’s Tuxedos B
They were good. We really did not shop around for this though. They were helpful and there were no problems day of.
Makeup Paula Young A+
I loved my makeup! She did an amazing Job. But my BM’s didn’t like how she did their makeup. Some opted not to use her. So def get a trial but I loved my make up!
Shoes Pamela’s Shoe Emporium in Merrick A+++++++++
I am so hard to find shoes for. I have a size 10 foot and very narrow. My dad called me thumper! We the girls there were so patient and new the shoes that would work best for me! We all got our shoes dyed there and they were excellent!
Placecards Ying Lee A+++
Ying did my moonshell placecards. She did an amazing job and I know it was a pain to write on them. But her writing is so pretty! She is so sweet and nice to talk to also!
Creative Party Works A+++++++++++++++++++++++++ LIW VENDOR
Nicole Davidson was so nice! She had the best price for my invitation I wanted. She made the invitation process easy! Def check her out if you can! She is very personable and professional.
They look blue when I took this pic but they are actually white
InkSpun A+
Now I know others have had problems but it went smoothly for me. I sent the envelopes out and spoke to them over the phone and I had my invites back within a few days and I had no mistakes.
Franklin Wayne Music Piano Player A+
I had won a piano player from a bridal show. I did not get to hear the player during the cocktail hour but I was told he was good. I am not sure the name of the player but I can say all my communication with Franklin Wayne was very pleasant. I mean they were nice and I was having their services for free!
Kimba Jewelry Locust Valley Bridesmaid jewelry A++++++++++++++
They were the best! You can design what type of necklace/earrings you want. It is all Sworovski crystals and sterling silver. They were awesome they had blues that match my BM color! They did things in a timely manner. She even made the earrings when I picked up the necklaces for my girls! I watch her make them it was so cool!
Here is there website KIMBA
DIY Projects Well duh I give myself A+ infinity!
I busted my booty and did some DIY. It was def worth it if you have the time! Def saved a TON of money!
And now the best for last! Chateau La Mer Lou and Nick A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ladies if you booked CLM you have nothing to fear! The food is superior as well as the service! We dealt with Lou as far as the first meeting and the contract. The day of Nick was THE MAN! He did great and was on top of everything! Our guests are still talking about CLM and how gorgeous it was. The boat arrival was a big hit with everyone. We had the downstairs room and it was perfect! This is the one vendor I booked without and concerns on how the day would go! I am so happy we went with CLM it was the 1st place we looked at and I knew it was it. We looked at other places but NOTHING compared…price, food, location…it is a winning combination!
The following are pictures taken by Velet Studios. If you use any of them please give them the recognition!
                                              
ETA: The video from velvet was AMAZING! It got everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!! I cannot stop watching it!

Well, I don't have to say..."It looks like you had a blast", because I know first hand that you did. Actually everyone did. It was such a special day and I'm so glad I was a part of it. Everything was gorgeous and not one detail was overlooked!
