Venue Ocean Place Resort A
I know that OP has gotten some bad reviews on TK in the past but it didn't stop us from looking and eventually booking there. I think since they changed owners and Mgt, things took a turn for the better. I worked with Stephanie there and she was excellent. The day of I was running late and she and her staff helped get us move along. Service and staff was great.
DJDash of ClassVitoA
My MIL used to work alot of banquets so she knew Vito from work and he did SIL wedding so he was our first pick. DH and I were very particular with the music we did/didn't want played and he knocked it out of the park, our dance floor was not empty the whole night.
FloristAW Flowers C
This was my biggest disappointment. So many ppl recommend Adam here but unfortunately I cannot. I specifically asked for a manzanita tree, I wanted tea lights hanging from them brought a pic and got a vase with curly willow branches with no lights. He also told me there would be starfish in my centerpieces and in my ceremonial arch and there were not. The bouquets he showed me at my mock up were also much larger than what I got day of and flowers were wilting before I walked down the aisle. There were also a few other minor things that were to be done but never were. Everything I mentioned is in writing in my contract, when I mentioned to Adam all of the above he seemed uninterested and denied everything in my contract.

Favors Kara's KonfectionsA
We did iced sugar cookies in the shape of a seashell. Her cookies are delicious and her prices can't be beat. She's located in Toms River
Photobooth Scott Roth EventsA
This was my biggest surprise of the night. They did an excellent job. We decided to have a PB 2 wks before our wedding and got an awesome deal. All our guests had a great time in the booth. I can't say enough great things about them and would use again for another event.

I didn't give a rating because I don't have pics yet. I used Gerda for engagement pics and I love her energy. Her photos aren't traditional at all and that's what we were looking for.
Tux rental/ Bridesmaids dresses A
We used Russell's in Linden for the guys. DH is 6'6" and 280lbs and the rest of his family is tall as well. It's very difficult to find clothes to fit in the first place but at Russells they had a nice selection for him to choose from. We used Hollywood Bridals in Kenilworth for BM dresses, great place the staff is very kind.
Hair Rosi from Xchanges in Kenilworth
A
I can't say enough how great Rosi is. She is extremely talented and so creative. My hair lasted all night and looked great. She did the rest of my party and everyone looked great.
Makeup Evelyn Abanto A
I wanted a little more of a dramatic look and she nailed it without me looking like a clown. : ...will use her again. She did the rest of my party and everyone's makeup lasted throughout the night.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this board. I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts and comments. Even the snarky ones, haha.. The information shared on this board is so helpful !
