sept 30th reviews!!!

Ok the wedding came and went....if there is one piece of advice I have for you girls with upcoming weddings here it is:  take 5 minutes out of your reception and sit down at your table with your husband and take it all in.  I wish someone told me that.  I dont even care that i didn't eat...I just wish I took 5 minutes out and just relaxed and looked at the room and everyone in it and absorbed it all! Ok no for the review!

venue: Grainhouse at the Olde Mill Inn- A
Tomas our maitre'd was awesome.  He went above and beyond.  The place was amazing and the food outstanding.  The service all around was wonderful..and Lindsay in sales was probably the nicest person I have ever dealt with.

flowers: KC Creations A+++++
Mitch was an incredible person to deal with.  I was a little nervous at first.  He seemed very confident right off the bat that he understood what I wanted so for some reason I questioned him.  What I dummy I am.  Literally when I saw my flowers I jumped up and down and screamed because they were awesome!  He did the outdoor area beautifully and the gazebo could not have looked better.  

photography: Jamie K A
I am sure she will be an A+ when I see the pictures!  Very easy to work with.  She stayed calm even after we ran about an hour late for her arrival time.  She was fun and a blast to be around.   She understood my style and did a great job getting the shots I wanted.  She layed on the floor...got on the ground in the mud..anything she had to do to get the shot!

Dj Gemini A-
We had Anthony.  We left the playlist up to him and he kept the party going all night. The only reason for the A- was because during cocktail hour the music stopped twice and we had to go find him setting up downstairs to fix it.  Minor detail..no one noticed but us.

makeup Gina Brozon 
I cannot rate this girl because the scale does not go high enough. everyone was in awe of how good all my girls looked.  Our makeup stayed all night.  I was on the dance floor all night but still looked good at the end of my reception.  I even surprised myself when I saw a few pictures and said wow is that really me!  It still looked like me but better.  And she is an absolute sweetheart.  She is my steady makeup artist now.  I had 4 trials before her and wasn't happy with anyone.  I am soooo picky with my makeup....she fit the bill!!  Give her a shot I promise you won't be disappointed!!

    Wow sounds like you had a great day!  I'm also an Olde Mill Inn bride, having the reception in the Washington Room.  Im so happy everyone was so great to work with.  We havent been assigned a maitre'd yet, but I've been working with Lindsey in sales and she really is the best.  I agree she is the nicest person I've ever met!

    The car was awesome!!  I've never seen that before!  Also the bartender carded me when I got my first drink then told me I had a baby face lol

    I just went to Gina Bronzon's website and she requres a minimum of three girls on the day of your wedding, booo.  I am not requiring my bridesmaids to get their make up done, so I doubt she'll be willing to do just my make up, but maybe she's still worth a phone call.

    Ask your bridemaids first if they plan on it.  I didnt require mine to but they wanted to anyway. So I wound up with 6 people total for her.

    Same here.. I didn't require it, but my mom and sister wanted theirs done anyway and then 1 BM decided to get hers done too..so I ended up having 4 people including myself.
