back & married with reviews

Hi ladies!!!! im officially a Mrs!!!! Everyone told me the day goes by so quickly,be sure to take in ... blah, blah , blah.... OMG WERE THEY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!! It was SOOOOOOOOO fast!!!! so it is REALLY True!! Vendor reviews: reception: OCYC - A. They were wonderful. Accomodating, the food was great, the help was wonderful, the place was beautiful. we had to give a refundable deposit the was returned to us before we even got back from our honeymoon! photography: Intrigue (Jeff Anderson) A++ They came to our house nice and early to get pictures, i felt comfortable and at ease, he caputured all the images i requested and we had a blast!!! video: Kenneth Stillman A++ Also came nice and early got images from both of the houses we were getting ready at, allowed us to have alot of fun!! We had the BIG video and it was PHENOMENONAL!! check it out on his blog!!! transportation: AC Jitney F!!!!! They did not show up!!! Yes ladies you are readng this right!! After the ceremony a friend called to find out what was happening and they claimed to not have us on their "schedule"... Now we went in person to give our deposit, talked to them in detail 2 DAYS before, and sent specific instructions via email!!! they finally sent a guy down who didnt even know how to get to the reception!! I am still pissed so BEWARE music: Steve & Co. B The DJ was very kind and nice, but he did not have my playlist with him. I found this out AFTER he was playing some music i specifically did not want played.... I had to personally go talk to him and demand he get the list that i worked on for the past 9 months!!!! after he had the list, i had few complaints. photobooth: Go Festive A++ they were wonderful! the props were fun, the album was fun, i got a dvd with all the pics on it. perfe ct!! Bartenders: The Mixers B- Because OC is dry we had to bring in liquor and bartenders... Their service was quick but i had made 'drink signs and specials" to direct the drink consumption, and they didnt do so well with that!! Chair rental: Petrosh big top A+ they did their job!!! showed up on time and on the right part of the beach! they set everything up and did not break the chairs down until we were done with pictures on the beach. Flowers: Somers Point Florist A the flowers were beautiful. i took the chance of not having a trial bouquet and gave him free range to do what he pleased with my flowers- they were stunning. my only quirk was that my bouquet was identical to the bridesmaids and i wanted it to be a bit different. but it was not a big deal because they were so pretty! Dress: Adrian piece couture A+ i know they are closing but i had a great expeience, my dress came in on time and was what i asked for bridesmaids dresses: Davids Bridal A+ again all the dresses came in on time and no screw ups!!! Suits: Jos.A Bank A++ we had the groomsmen all purchase their own suits. They were very accomodating and allowed everyone to take their time to pay for them and they did all alterations too!! They were perfect and only cost the guys $100 a suit and they keep it!!!! Hair & Makeup: Jody Iacovelli & Sherri from Louis Christian Wayne Robert salon in Marlton A+++ i hired them to come to our shore house and do hair and makeup for bridal party and they were wonderful! I looked so great i didnt recognize myself! HAHA!! overall it was the best possible day!! Even the mishaps didnt get in the way of it being everything i ever wanted!!!

    Congratulations on your wedding!! I'm getting married at OCYC in June and have a few questions. I'm trying to decide if I want to have the ceremony at the yacht club or on the beach. Would you mind emailing me at megan.e.barth@gmail.com and let me know what your back up plan was in case it rained? Thanks so much!! :)

    Congrats!  I am getting married on the beach and would love the contact info for the people you used for your chairs and how did you manage to arrange to get the suits from Jos A Bank for so cheap? - Jen   email: timlin.j@gmail.com
