I scheduled a hair trial with Mandy about 9 months before my wedding and when I met her she was sweet and awesome. She asked questions on how I wanted to wear my hair. What look I was going for. I showed her photos of my headpiece and gown. She was smart and Knowledgeable and really knew a lot about wedding hair. We tried a style and I booked her immediately. Within those 9 months I wanted to do a few more trials with different hair styles just to make sure I was doing the right style for my wedding day. I must of went on 3 trials before my wedding and every time I went she always welcomed me and was extremely patient and said what do you want to try this time? After the 2nd time it was kinda of a joke ..like here I am.. im back for another trial.LOL She always said we will keep trying hairstyles till you are 150% sure this is what you want on your wedding day. I want you to be happy. Mandy also did a trials for my MOH and 2 of my bridesmaids. She was very accommodating. They were beyond happy with their hair. They were thrilled. It really did look fabulous and that was only their trial. The day of my wedding came and Mandy and her assistant Kristen(AWESOME) were prompt and on time and they started working immediately. I def. recommend the blow out prep she does. I didn’t have to blow dry my own hair before they started styling it. They do it all!!! She did my hair along with my MOH/ Mother/ Bridesmaids/Flower Girl. Her assistant Kristen prepared all the girls hair and Mandy did all the hairstyles. We all looked absolutely stunning. I had 2 headpieces and she even came back 15 min before my cocktail hour ended and changed my headpiece for me. Now that is great service!! I would 150% recommend Mandy and her crew. Mandy is one of the most talented hair stylists I have ever met and for wedding hair you want the best and the best is what you will get. She is an artist and wonderful to work with.

Our wedding day on 6/25/2011 was PERFECT! We had the perfect day. We loved everything The Palace had to offer. We were extremely pleased with how everything turned out. The Food: If you're a foodie and your all about food presentations this is the place you want your wedding to be held. We were able to really customize our wedding menu. There was so much food to pick from. A nice varity from the cocktail stations to the elaborate cocktails stations to the butler passed Hors D 'Oeuvres that were passed around. Our Sit down menu for the reception was so delicious. We did a choice of Steak- Grouper-Rack of Lamb. The Palace Viennese Display was beautifully laid out. I loved the boardwalk station. Made me feel like I was a kid again walking down the shore on the boardwalk. It smelled yummy and tasted delicious. Everyone is still raving about the food. We had our wedding outside on the upper west terrace and it was perfect. The perfect backdrop for when we said our vows - calm and serene. Inside/outside Cocktail hour -laid back and wonderful. All our guests were comfortable in the space and as big as the west side is: it still felt very intimate. We had our wedding in the west Ballroom and it is so beautiful. When our guests walked into our ballroom it took their breath away. It looked amazing. I loved the details in the west ballroom and the colors- cream - deep aubergine and lush purples set the tone for the colors I was going to do for our wedding. It was Spectacular! The room is one of a kind. You can't get a reception room like that in any other hall in New Jersey. The Palace is just so grand and gorgeous that you will fall in love with it when you see it. If you're getting married in a warmer months you need to get the fireworks. What bride & Groom gets fireworks at their wedding? You do if you get married at The Palace. Our guests were so blown away by having their own firework show. They were better than Macys! They were SICK! The day of our wedding went off without any issues and if there was one our Maître D' Rich probably took care of it. He was very professional and on point. He kept the wedding moving along. He was very attentive to our needs and just wonderful to deal with. Maya his bridal attendant was beyond amazing. See with The Palace you also get a 3room bridal suite. My bridesmaids and myself were able to get ready there all day. They were waiting for us to arrive at 11am. Maya was there helping me out with everything that I needed. I was a very calm bride. Maya was there throughout our pictures and I had 2 different shoe changes and she was there with both pairs exactly when I needed them. she held my flowers during my pictures. I had a slight rip in my gown at the bottom. I didn’t know till I was told weeks later she bent down and pinned my gown so perfectly that I had no idea it even happened. My husband and I were never without a drink - food or anything else that we needed throughout the whole night. Our wedding was amazing. If we could do it all over again we would and we would not change a single thing. From the first step we took into The Palace to the last step we took out they always made us feel like a King & Queen and that our wedding was the most important. From the sales managers to the event planner(Alex-Amazing) to the Chef (Amazing) to the menu and the people who work there. I applaud you for being the BEST at what you do!!

I am in the process of planning my wedding with Laura and Kara from My Bellissima and i can't express how unbelievable they are, besides them being the sweetest 2 girls i have ever met! The service they offer is top notch. They def. are keeping me in budget and they move my numbers around so i can have every single thing on my wedding wish list. My Fiance and I fight about who loves them more!! Coming from a guy prospective he can't thank them enough for keeping me sane through the whole weddig process, cause we all know how stressful it can be. They have some of the best connections in the wedding indusrty and they hooked us up with some amazing vendors that understand our style and can really execute what we want on our big day! 5 stars is not enough for these 2 amazing women! They deserve alot more! Call them, book them. They can def. give you the service and attention every bride wants!
You will be a guest at your own wedding is there motto and it's def. true!! LOVE THEM!
