hello all - We were in S FLA over the holidays and got some big checks done! Venue - believe it or not the Acqualia. Our Kosher caterer does their Passover Seder, got us in, got us a GREAT price for exactly what we wanted.....a Sunday morning ceremony with brunch. Susan Wessholft has been wonderful thus far despite her very busy, overworked schedule. Caterer- Randy from Aromas. Amazing! Delicious, great to work with, wonderful. My gown - bought ! MOH and BM - bought Tallit for Jon - trip to Brooklyn and it was bought Guest list - done Sheva B'rachot - guest list for three locations done......need to find locations Ceremony - beginning to put the Jewish traditions, readings, participation/asking together. Now.......we are onto florist, hair/make up, invites, music, kippot, benchers..... I need a hair/make up artist who is GOOD via long distance AND willing to come out EARLY Sunday AM. They will just b doing me.....unless they are reasonable and have a team then they can do all...... I need a live musician who can play flute, harp, violin ......who plays traditional Jewish songs for ceremony AND isnt outrageous Florist - we need one who has huppah, listens, stays within a budget, can visualize, easy to work with long distance Suggestions - help - much appreciated!!! Eva & Jon

    Great checks! Congrats! I love sunny isles, worked for the city for a year and it is just beautiful, especially the aqualina!

    For flowers I am using creations by blanca.  She is great for working with budgets and getting creative to give you what you want for what you can afford.  She is one of my favorite vendors.  For hair I am using a girl recommended to me by my aunt - her name is alison and her number is (954) 856-4056, she does makeup too.  Invites I used magnet street.com, they have lots of coupons and I love the invites but was not 100% into the envelopes (only b/c they have no color on the underflap.  GL!

    Hey- Mazel Tov on the checks- curious as to where you decide to get benchers from. Definitely check out Creations by Blanca- we are meeting with her this weekend on our trip home and I've been told she has some nice chuppahs and is reasonably priced. We are meeting with few other florisits about chuppahs so can provide other input next week if you want (PM me). Not sure if you need a cake- but we've also been told that Ana Paz has the most amazing parve wedding cakes-tasting is pending!

    We haven't gotten the benchers done (or thought of) yet..... I am working on florist, make up artist, hair and yummakas this week.

    Benchers / invites will likely be towards the end of the month.

    I am going to PM you - some questions!

    Mazel tov! 

    As for music, we are using the Music Machine for our wedding.  We also considered Manhattan Music.  I believe they both have all the instruments you are looking for.  I have heard very good things about Drew T, as well, but he was out of our budget.
