Hi Ladies! I'm back as a married woman, and wanted to share my vendor experiences with you. Hope this helps!
Venue: Soceity Room, A+
The decor came out looking amazing! Staff was friendly and on point, and thanks to our attendant Michelle, we actually got to sit and eat.
Cake: Creative Cakes by Donna, A+
Cake was gorgeous and tasty, she even helped me pull a fast one on my groom and have his own cake waiting for him in te bridal suite. To say he was happy is putting it lightly. She was super friendly and cooperative the entire time prior so, yay!
Just for you floral Design, A+
Jane did an amazing job. My bouquet was lovely as were the bridesmaids and the reception flowers. My groomsmans bouts looked great but the boys killed most of the flowers by mid reception due to them being silly.
Photobooth: Snap Shotz, A
This was a big hit, even my grandmother was in there making silly faces. The guests are still talking about it. I'll be getting a CD in the mail soon with a copy of the pictures.
Groom's Tux: Daswani West Hartford, A+
My husband has uncommon measurements so he needed a custom suit. Manoj worked with us not only helped with the suit, but with the bow tie, shirt, suspenders, cuff links etc. My Raphie looked amazing and he was very comfortable. The FOG purchased his suit here and I also purchased my father's tie and cufflinks from here as well as. Great service and amazing quality.
Groomsman attire: Menswearhouse, A
Our guys were all over the eastern seaboard so this was a lifesaver. Everyone looked amazing and suits were on time and undamaged. My brother actually went skydiving in the suit and sent me the picture as a surprise
Photography: TimeFrozen, A+
Keith and his wife are amazing! We took pictures all day and night. I am really excited to see the preview later today, but the few i got a peek at made me happy
Videography: The Terrible Child, A
They were busy bees! I was dead set against video but Hubby insisted, this may have me sold:

She did an amazing job on everyone! We looked like movie stars and she was very helpful with the more uncertain girls in suggesting a look that would suit them best. Worth every penny.
Make-up: PaintedbyBrettnee, = A+
Ok so my bridesmaid who NEVER wears makeup summed this up best. If we could afford hire Brettnee to just follow us around every day we would. We looked flawless! No one looked overdone, she played to everyone's best features and it was glorious.
DJ: DJae Melee, B+
He was super friendly and attentive the day of, but getting a hold of him in the month leading up to the wedding was a royal pain. I think it was mostly to do with the new system he was trying to have come online. Otherwise the uplighting was beautiful and the guests were dancing until the party ended.
Hotel: Marriott Residennce Inn, A
They were extremely acommodating and friendly. They managed to situtuate the BP members who were staying at the hotel on the same floor sowe could all get ready easily.Rooms are huge two story lofts, which was great since there were close to 15 people cycling in and our of my room while we were getting ready.
Limo: Accent Limo, A+
Finding a 10 passnger limo was bit of a nightmare in CT. I found these guys through a Groupon deal in my home state of MA, money well spent! The staff is amazingly friendly and on point. The limo was new, clean and the glassware for our drinks was immaculate. Our driver, Scott, was patient and funny. He kept the bridesmaids smiling until I could come down and then while the WP took pictures asked the parents to sit and relax in the limo until we were done. He kept MOG laughing and brought her a tissue since she had gotten all teary earlier. He was great and I would highly reccomend them.
"All I want is for you to be happy And, take this woman and make you my family And, finally you have found someone perfect And, finally you have found Yourself."
