Hi Ladies!!! I'm back as a mrs and happier than ever! I can say that my day could not have gone smoother and more perfect, the ONLY complaint I have is that after specifying NO children on my invite my cousin's gf brought her bratty child who started screaming in the middle of the scripture reading grrrrr.
On to the vendor reviews, the highest score will be an A+ and the lowest an F. Hope these help.
Getting ready hotel- The Mutiny Coconut Grove- B
The rooms were very spacious and clean and the price was perfect. The service wasn't great and it's what kept me from giving them the A.
Church - St. Stephens Episcopal Chuch - B-
Beautiful Church and Great location. They get a B- because we had to pay an extra 250 for the custodian to get there early and turn on the AC and he didnt arrive until the guests arrived, needless to say it was extremely HOT in the church and uncomfortable.
Limo- Royal Limo - A+
The driver was there early and was SUPER nice. The car was very clean and well kept.
Reception Venue- Rusty Pelican- A
My relationship with the Rusty Pelican was bumpy at first but after some complaining I got what I wanted and eveything turned out great. We had a brunch and the food was absolutely delicious and there was an abundance of it. The mimosas were great and flowing all morning. My Fiance and I had an attendant assigned to us all day and he made sure we were comfortable and having fun.
DJ- David Verjano - A+
The dancefloor was packed the entire time and everyone had an amazing time!
My dress and Bridesmaids Dresses- Alfred Angelo Coral Gables - A+
I have nothing but great things to say about them. All the dresses arrived earlier than expected and their attention with me as the bride was impecable. I had to go back 3 times for alterations (my fault I gained weight and my dress didnt fit) and they did everything they could to make sure it fit right. The bridesmaids dresses were perfect and beautiful.
Veil and Headpiece - Daisy Tarsi- A+
My veil was custom and exactly what I was hoping for and the headpiece was super unique and one of a kind.
Make-up artist- Crystal Cadahia- A+
Crystal was one of my favorite people to work with. Her energy is great and totally what you need when you are stressing. She had me craking up the entire time. I gave her creative freedom and allowed to create whatever look she thought would work best for me and I was more than satisfied. Highly recommend her!
Hair Stylist- Hicham from Avant Garde Coral Gables- A+
He was GREAT! He was super early and super quick. i showed him a picture to give him and idea and he went with it and within 30 minutes he created the perfect hairstyle!
Tuxedos- Zayas - A+
the guys looked great and super sharp.
Florist- Gil Sosa- A+
I can't recommend him more!. He went above and beyond all of my expectations and he really captured my vision and turned it into a dream come true! Gil is amazing at what he does.
Linens- AB covers and designs- A
Don't have much to say but everything looked very put together and was exactly what we discussed.
Cake- Elegant Temptations- A+
The cake was not only beautiful but it was delcious and didn't last!
RIng Pillow- Etsy Vendor Darling Damask- F
Ladies Beware of this vendor. I order my ring pillow with over a month of time before the wedding. I emailed them with my wedding date and they assured me that the next day it would be in the mail.I gave it about 2 weeks and emailed them again. They assured me i'd have it by my wedding dat. To make a long story short I ended up having to go to Michaels the night before and buy a random one because it never came. They assured me I would get a full refund, well I've gotten no refund and no pillow. Don't use them!
Video- JC Productions- Pending on Results
Photography- 13:13 Photogrpahy- Tentative A+
Favors- Candy Station DIY
Bought half the candy at Costco and the rest at Candylandshop.com thier prices are very reasonable and I got the candy earlier than expected.
Photo/Sign in book- Shutterfly -A+
With the e-pics we took I created my own photo book and it was great! It also got to me super early.
I think I covered all the vendors. If I forgot any I will return and if you ladies need any contact info or further reviews let me know. I hope this helped!
