Hi ladies! I figured I would post my vendor reviews since this board really helped me with wedding planning. My wedding was the best day of my life and I had some really wonderful vendors that made the day perfect.
Glen Island Harbour Club- A+: Everything was perfect. The cocktail hour was the best I’ve ever seen and the Viennese was well worth it. The wedding was almost a month ago and I’m still getting calls from people raving about how amazing the food was- especially dessert. I’m really glad we didn’t cut corners with the food. It is a lot of food but the most important thing is that my guests enjoyed themselves. Jack was great to work with and I highly recommend this wedding venue 100%.
ETA Music- A+ We did a 7 person band and it was literally half the price of some other bands we priced- but didn't sound like it! Rocco listened to everything we wanted- we were worried about music being too loud but the volume was perfect. Their playlist is huge, and they will learn up to 2 new songs for you so you don't need to worry about them not knowing your perfect first dance song. They also play often in bars/restaurants in Nyack and Hartsdale if you want to ever check them out.
Silverstar Limo A- Everything was on time and clean. Only knocked off the score a little because we were told there would be beer, water, and champagne and I don’t think there was any beer.
Jose Reyes Photography A- Love him! He did our engagement shoot and we love how the pictures came out and can’t wait to see the wedding pictures. He shot my brother’s wedding this past fall and his pictures are awesome. He’s really upbeat and makes you feel comfortable. He was very attentive to me and made sure my veil and dress didn’t get damaged while we trudged around taking pictures. I only gave him an A- because his prices are a little higher than many, but I felt he was well worth it. His assistant Alex was great too.
Videoccasions- B+ Had some communication issues and difficulty with returning our calls however the day of everything went smoothly.
Diana Gould Floral- B+ Loved the centerpieces – we did manzanita branches with cymbidium orchids and I got so many compliments on them- even a couple of people taking pictures to keep in mind for their own weddings! They did mess up on my bouquet- I wasn’t supposed to have medium pink peonies in mine (only in the bridesmaids’) but I ended up liking it a lot so luckily it worked out.They did say if I wasn't happy they would have brought over another one in time. The peonie bouquets held up really well and all of the blooms were completely open which is sometimes not the case with peonies.
Wedding Paper Divas- A+ Ordered menu cards and escort cards from them. They came in a week early and were perfect. I even had a designer call me up to discuss my colors and my vision.
The Lemon Tree- Invitations- C+ My invitations came in almost a month late which meant we needed to address them and mail them within a day of receiving them so that guests would have enough time to RSVP. The invitations were GORGEOUS and I got tons of compliments on them but getting them that late was unacceptable and really stressful.
