Hi all-I hope these can be of some help to you in the planning phases. Good Luck!
Atlantic Beach Club, Middletown, RI A++++The ABC was awesome; Elaine was great from day one to the day of. We got everything we asked for and more. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent and the room could not have offered a better ocean view. Everything was organized and the reception flowed seamlessly. We would definitely recommend this reception venue.
Cappuccinos Bakery, Middletown, RI A Our Cake was excellent. We chose 2 types, chocolate with mocha fudge filling and yellow with strawberries and whipped cream. The cake tasted great and looked awesome.
Leisure Limo, Portsmouth, RI A+ These guys were great and had the best price we could find. Our driver, Bob, went above and beyond. He held my train numerous times, even when I wasn’t even getting into the limo. He was a gentleman and all around nice guy.
Ana’s Bridal, East Providence, RI D Ana’s was fine, until the weeks before and on our wedding, when we needed them most. We used them for both the bridesmaid’s dresses and the tuxes. First of all the tuxes, none were fitted properly, all had to be altered and switched out. They were promised early in the week of the wedding, until the week before, when we were told they wouldn’t be ready until the day before the wedding, which just created unnecessary drama. The worst was the dresses. When my BM put hers on before the wedding, we discovered they never sewed the alterations, it was only pinned, I called them in a panic and Ana herself argue with me that it was sewed…does she think I really would be calling if it fit on the morning of my wedding??!! Anyway, my mom sewed it and we made do, but it was awful customer service.
Party Dress Express, Fall River, MA A+++ My dress was purchased and altered here. Great service, great alterations. They even put the dress in our car for us when we picked it up. They were great to work from beginning to end, I would highly recommend them.
Clements Market (Florist), Portsmouth, RI B+ Terri pulled through in the end and her flowers were great, she was just hard to get a hold off throughout the process. I should have known going into it when she emailed my proposal to the “wrong bride.” Once I got her on the phone, things were always fine, but I always had to initiate communication, so I have to give an B+
DB Photography, Lincoln, RI A+++ Dave has been great from day one, including our engagement session. His prices are reasonable and he is very professional and easy going. He even settled my three year old nephew down to get pictures of him when none of us could! He was never noticed but always there…which is what we felt made the best photographer.
DJ Maxx, Gabe De La Cruz, DJ, Groton, CT A+ Gabe was great, people were dancing all night. We had to slow things down at one point as our meals were on the table, but everyone was ready to party and he made it work. He played everything we asked and played music that everyone enjoyed, a great variety.
