Hello ladies!!!
I just got married this past Friday!!!
The wedding lived up to all of my expectations - it was perfect.
Venue: Anthony's Ocean View in New Haven - A++
These guys rock. The food was incredible (my guests won't stop talking about it). The place is gorgeous. The staff are just amazing. They made the whole experience VERY stress-free.
DJ: Mike Merlin - A+
He. Is. Awesome. Seriously - he kept everyone dancing all night. He was super accomodating and helped me work in all of the details I wanted. Because of him, everyone had a great time.
Photos: Colleen (Mike Merlin's wife) - A+
She was wonderful!!! She's very easy-going and managed some rather unconventional shots. She was unobtrusive. She worked with Mike very well to help keep everything flowing smoothly.
Tailor: Valentino's in Hamden - A+
Enzo and his wife Alicia were incredible. Price wasn't outrageous. They were prompt, and very professional. My bustle did break a couple times, but I was also probably more active than the average bride - running around the beach, people picking me up all the time, etc. I think it would have broken no matter where I got it done.
Bakery: Petonito's Pastry Shop in East Haven - A+
VERY reasonably priced, For 120 cheesecake cupcakes with individual decorations, I paid about $200. Including delivery and set-up. Tasted WONDERFUL. Looked beautiful (individual calla lilies on every single cupcake).
Rings: Kay Jewelers - A
No problems here. We sent our rings to be sized, they came back when they were expected.
I did flowers myself (with help from friends), as well as decorations.
Thank you to all who helped
