    I am using alfonso from photography by alfonso. He takes beautiful pics and is extremely friendly. He also has a videography package.

    I do not know what GIHC is but my hair salon is doing my hair for me. I have heard great things about JK Flashy for make up or color makeup studio.

    CONGRATS!

    Congrats!  Glen Island is a great place.  All our guests raved about the beautiful location and the food.

    Sachiko Yanese for hair & make-up - she was very nice and did a great job
    Digital-Weddings for photo & video - loved the photos, video was good, but not great
    DJ - Next Generation NY - good - only some of the guests were into dancing
    Limo - Club International - great price and service
    Florist - Arcadia - good; only got personal flowers and altar pieces dealt with Sammy the owner

    My friend used Ulyesses photos and she was very pleased.
    DJ/Lighting:  We used the DJ Company - worked with Ryan. He did a great job
    Make-Up. Christine from Color Makeup Studio.  She is so talented and reasonably priced www.colormakeupstudio.com
    Limo: Silver Star.  Ask for Mario Jr.  They were perfect

    For Video, we used Artistic Images Videography http://www.artisticiv.com/ It came out GREAT! Super nice Husband & Wife team. We also got our wedding video on Blue Ray (and DVD for the parents). When we compared the DVD and Blue Ray versions, the Blue Ray was SO clear! DH is into his technology and HAD to have Blue Ray- they offered us a package at an affordable price. I am glad we got it.


    My other vendors I was happy with:
    Hair: Stratos
    Photography: Catherine Leonard
    DJ: Jimmy Dee

    You poor thing! Westchester is tough, but here are some tips. Hope to help.

    Photography -- Melissa Lynn, http://beimaged.com

    Videography -- Melissa Lynn has really afforadable video options as well. If you have the budget to spread, I would go NYC for video but I was a less traditional bride -- here is an amazing company that we couldn't afford: http://www.nyfilmworks.com/Site/Home.html

    Hair and Makeup -- Meridith Hayman -- http://www.meredithhayman.com/

    DJs -- don't know, because we had a band but gigmasters.com is a great way to look up DJs in the area

    Photo & Video - Majestic Studios

    DJ - DJ Bri Swatek

    Limo -  Settembre Limo

    I am also a Glen Island bride. The photographer I'm using is  Rob White. I will probably be using Arcadia as well. Colleenlew, did you not use Arcadia for your centerpieces?
