I'm having a bit of trouble finding a reasonably priced venue for a guest list of about 75 folks. I don't know that many people and I'm still trying to pay off student loans.

Please help!!!! 

Any help would be much appreciated!

I am looking to get married at the Rockleigh in NJ and I believe my church will be in nanuet about 15 minutes away. We will have a lot of people coming from NYC and westchester. I would love to get a hotel that has a lively bar in it that stays open late or even better a pub in walking distance to the hotel... does anyone have a hotel suggestion that would be on the path from nanuent to rockleigh close to the tappan zee with a bar close enough to walk to??? THanks!

Thanks! 

Can you help me get a better idea of how you coordinate your limo services for the day with a church ceremony and reception hall?

Do you have to let people coming in the limo know to get a ride after? do you book the limo long enough to get everyone to church, reception and back to starting point?

What about the parents? do we need to coordinate car service to bring them home? 

most people will be drinking...

how many hours do we book for?

as you can tell, lots of questiosn hoping some other brides can answer before we reach out to companies. thanks!

Any help would be much appreciated!

TIA

I wanted to let anyone who may have bought a Pronovias gown through Sassy Chic in Red Bank, NJ that you should be on your toes about getting your dress in on time, if at all.

I ordered my gown through them in October of 2013. They told me it typically takes 6 months to come in, given the Chinese New Year holidays at the beginning of the year. So in January I called again to ask if they had a general time line of when it would come in. They told me they would have their September brides' gowns in between March and April. I said great - I'm going to have my grandmother come in from out of town around the end of April so that would be perfect for a first fitting.

I kept in contact, popped by in mid-March for the wedding walk. They still said end of April would be no problem. Well. I didn't hear from them at all so began checking up: 2 weeks before my appointment they told me they were waiting on Pronovias to get back to them with the shipping confirmation (apparently my gown had been in the Pronovias warehouse on Long Island). Then the week before - nothing. No phone call, no communication. I followed up multiple times and always was told they'd have an answer soon. Well, the day of my appointment comes and goes and no dress, not even a phone call. I waited another 2 weeks where they didn't contact me ONCE with an explanation. Finally I called Pronovias to see if I could get some insight.

Turns out there is some serious legal issues between the store and Pronovias, and Pronovias was withholding ALL OF THE GOWNS THAT SASSY CHIC ORDERED and refused to release them. I essentially told Sassy Chic that they had 24 hours to either give me a definitive date of arrival of my dress or I wanted my deposit back. I just got the deposit back today and they released the order back to Pronovias - now I have to order the dress all over again through another store and hope that there's been no damage in the warehouse.

If you ordered a Pronovias gown through Sassy Chic, make sure you're in constant communication with them. Getting info from them was like pulling teeth and they obviously have some issues they need to resolve - but it shouldn't be at the expense of their brides' gowns.

Phew! Glad I got that off my chest!!

My fiance and I are considering booking our wedding the first week in May. Our ceremony would be held outdoors, but the reception inside. Is the weather too cold in North Jersey this early in May? I'd love to weigh in on your thoughts...

Where do you go for a good blow out in North Jersey?

Does anyone know of an affordable day of/month of coordinator?

Thanks!
