Hello all. Just got home last night. Met with everyone I booked with. I am SO pleased thus far. Steve Lawson - amazing. Absolutely personable. I almost didn't go with him bc of cost; however I am glad we chose him. Creations by Blanca- loved her ideas. Came in under budget! Pleasant and business oriented, which is how I am. Perfect match. Gallery of Cakes - Toni and Yonnie area amazing. Tasting was DELISH. Lovely people. We knew the same circles of S.FLA Jewish geography. Jenny Bowen Berger - Trial hair and makeup was fab. There was confusion on cost. However when I showed her the correspondence she adjusted. Held to her word. Impressive. Loved the look she created. Acqualina- need I say more? Although Susan Westlehoff is hard to connect with via phone - she had everything ready to go - went over everything. And was amazing. Jennifer Johnson - DOC - got along great. I feel she truly understands what we want. Had great suggestions and we will implement some! Aroma Catering - Randy John was fabulous for tasting back in Dec and via phone/email. However this meeting he "dissed" one of the venues we initially looked --- to my mother which wasn't very cool. He basically called the Shane Center a dump. Now it is a REC center and can't compete with the Acqualina; however I thought it was very unprofessional for him to do that. We are from OOT and planning long distance and looked at everything online. So his comments were very much uncalled for and out of place. With this said - I will say that he did get us into the Acqualina for a Sunday brunch at the same price as the Shane Center. And the menu is spectacular. I have to approach Randy / Aroma and not sure how to. Down to 72 days. Invites are out. I think we are almost ready. Yeah!!!!! Eva & Jon
