Camilo Rodriguez 9/10 - I think this will be my only rating under a 10. Here’s the scoop. Overall, Camilo did a kick a$$ job! I can’t begin to tell you the compliments that we got from our guest. They said all they remember is dancing & eating the whole night. So that’s a sign that he did an incredible job! He was great to work with the entire process. Very professional and easy to work with. He played from our must play & must not play. We didn’t give him too much restriction since we’ve seen him spin at 2 wedding & our feet were killing for days! The dancefloor was packed from the second he started to the end of the night. People told me they did not want the night to end. My poor grandmother in law has a bad hip & she was out there shaking her thing! Then she paid for it for a few days ! Bless her heart! My mom was out of control. She was tearing up the dancefloor! It was insane so tech wise & music wise he tore that roof off! We also had 2 huge plasma screens and people taking pictures & video on putting it on the plasmas. It was a party like no other. Everyone thought that was really cool!!! Ok – so, here’s the problem for the 9. From a guest perspective he was a perfect 10 but he messed up on something & I was PISSED!!! He was suppose to send to us the worksheet prior to our final meeting. Well, it never arrived so he said not to worry, we can do it together. He asked us the questions & we answered them – easy right! Well..here’s the problem. He messed up our 1st Dance. It was just suppose to be MH & I dancing. Well, he brought in our BP & our guest to dance. Now, everyone LOVED joining us b/c that floor was packed! When we look at the pictures we laugh b/c while we were PISSED like all HEL* everyone was LOVING IT & really enjoying it! I stormed off the dancefloor (during the song mind you) & let me tell you – I tore him apart!! He apologized & in all fairness…he made it up. I didn’t let it ruin the night & he did do a great job. Well, this is when Oh So Fab jumped in & gave me solutions. I left it up to MH to do what he felt was best. Well, about an hr or so into the night, the DJ calls us onto the dancefloor dedicates our wedding song to us & we danced it alone. So, in the end he did fix it & I did dance my wedding song twice & it was more special. At the end MH lifted me & spun me around. It was so beautiful. So…that’s the reason for the 9. Would I refer him YES but I would go through that worksheet with a fine toothcomb. Other then that, he was amazing & had the party going the whole entire night. We dance our booties off!! I’m afraid the podiatry bills will start coming in!

I can rate him a perfect 10 because he did a video montage for us. Ladies, there was not a dry eye in the house! We still watch it & I still cry!! My mom came over to us after the montage balling & just saying how much she loves us both and how proud of us she is. It was sooo touching! My mom could hardly speak she was stricken with emotion. Alex’s work just moved everyone! He is a hidden gem & I don’t know why. He was referred to me by Milton Gil so he came from a very reliable source! For the day of we had Steve as our shooter. He was excellent. Because the weather was a bit touch & go my hair was getting loose. He was like one of the girls, he told me that I needed to have it re-touched & also when I needed some lipstick. He was GREAT!! He was also dancing with our guest which we LOVED to see!! I have seen so much of Alex work & I can tell you that his work is just so amazing. He is #1 in NNJ for a reason. He’s work is so creative and customized for each couple. No 2 videos’ are alike. He puts so much passion into each video. He reminds me sometimes of those crazy painters who stay up all night long to make sure the art work is perfect. That is Alex. He is just crazy about his work & bust his tail to make it perfect for the couple. I am thrilled with the video montage. I can’t wait too see my actual video!

Seriously, where do I begin. I love this women! I have no words to express how thrilled we were with Alex, her ideas, work, passion & just love for her clients & making their day perfect! You can tell that from the bottom of her soul she truly enjoys doing this for brides. Ladies – my day of stationary was incredible! She has such a vision & taste that is beyond measure. Alex did EVERYTHING for us!!! Programs, Menu’s, Seating Cards, Bathroom Poems, Memorial Poem, Sandal Poems, Bubble Tags, Tags for the bubble basket, Notes that went inside the favor boxes, beautiful gold wax seals, Table Names, Tent cards for the tables for the dancers. Alex also became such an incredible friend. She helped me in more ways then just creating my beautiful stationary! She was my sounding board the last few weeks before the wedding. She helped keep me focus and reminded me everyday to enjoy the last few weeks because they go so quickly! Alex – I adore you & wish you so much love & happiness! You’re a beautiful women inside & out! Thank you for everything!

Let me start this part off preferencing, MH is a graphic designer. He was still going through school or he would have tried to work on our stationary. But – he was extremely picky about our stationary since it’s his passion. We looked high & low for invitations & NOTHING compared to Robin K Designs! Robin did our STD, Invites & created our monogram. This woman is so talented! Our stationary was so beautiful! Several of our guests have kept them which is a huge compliment to Robins’ work! She really captured our vision & worked with what I wanted & showed me where we can save money & where to put more money into. Totally worked with our budget. When people received our invites they called & said they were the most beautiful invites they ever received. They were not sure if they could afford to attend the wedding. Even asked if it was black tie - which it was not. If she is in your budget it’s a no brainer. She will totally set the tone of your wedding. I’m so thrilled with our STD & Invites. They were perfect! Classy, trendy, elegant! Just PERFECT!! Robin lived far from me but she works very well via email. She was very responsive & she never once missed a deadline! Also, this women has the patience of a saint! It took us MONTHS to figure out our monogram but once we did – it was perfect! She showed us so many options & really helped us sort through our thoughts. She is no pressure. Why should she be? She is so high in demand she does not need to pressure people. Robin is just an all around great person with creativity and talent. LOVED her!

God, where do I begin. I LOVE THIS WOMEN!! It was because of them that I can honestly say we were able to eat and enjoy every single minute of our wedding. They were the best investment we made on our wedding day. They took care of all the stress and problems that happened that day. MH & I started thinking of getting a day of coordinator a few months prior to our wedding day for a number a reasons. But things got crazy and the idea just fell through. It was always in the back of my mind but we didn’t have the time to interview coordinators. We were so lucky that my SIL (jerseybride2006) was married 2 months before us. She used Tina and we got to see 1st hand her work. We were SOLD! We booked Tina immediately! We had both Tina & Tara. Ladies – if you can swing it, hire Oh So Fab! Every bride should be as fortunate as us to hire them! Tina’s ideas, passion, attention to detail just surpassed all my expectations. Not only did she keep me calm when the priest was 1 hr late she & Tara took charge of the situation and handled it with class and professionalism! We had also a few snags w/the DJ & they were all over it. They came up to me & said, “OK, this is fixable, here are your options what do you want to do” They are amazing! I don’t have enough words to express how happy we were w/their service. Oh, another thing, I was afraid my mom was going to give me a hard time on spending money on a coordinator. After the wedding she asked me how much they were. When I told her, she looked at me dead in the eye & said, “They were worth every single penny. They need to raise their prices for all the work they do”. I can go on & on about them! By far, one of theeee best decisions we made! We LOVED them!!

In one word – AMAZING! Just PERFECT! This place by far exceeded my expectations. We only got 1 complaint from our guest– too much food!! Never thought that would be a problem. We had Steve as our Matre’D & this man took care of us w/kit gloves. Everything he did was done w/a genuine smile. He did things that I didn’t even have time to ask for. For example, at one point I was looking around for my veil but didn’t say anything to anyone. In less then 1 min. later Steve walks over with my veil in his hand. Its like the man read my mind. My mom is so difficult. She was not happy when I 1st booked PR but it’s what MH & I wanted. Anyway, the day of the wedding my mom said that Steve & the staff were all over her & our families that they felt like the bride & groom. The food & service were to die for. This place is a hidden gem. It was so beautiful & they did such a kick a$$ job. I could not be happier with the place we choose. Let me put it to you this way, you know you had an awesome wedding when you wish you were guest at your own wedding. Does that tell you what an incredible job they did!

this place is so beautiful. We worked with Mary Clare who you keep it all together. We were very lucky that our date was open considering they only do one weddings on Friday. The beginning process is a pain but once you get the necessary paperwork in they really do such a beautiful job. They do such a nice job at getting their couples ready for this big commitment. I know people complain about their rules but IMHO, it didn’t bother me. I didn’t think it was bad at all. The church is so beautiful & the few things they ask of you are to keep the church looking beautiful. We used the priest from my husband’s church. This was I think the biggest problem we had on the wedding day. MH priest is a DOLL. Just the sweetest man you could ever meet & he was thrilled when MH asked him to marry us. MH was his alter boy growing up so it was very special to both of them. Well, the day of the wedding, unfortunately the priest got the time confused. He thought it was at 6pm & the ceremony was at 4pm. We started about 1 hr late. He felt terrible. In the end, it didn’t marry. We were married & it was beautiful!!

Ah, what can I say about Milton. He is just amazing! We had no worries with him! We booked him 2 yrs before our wedding and during the course of the planning we became very close to him & many of his photographers. If you meet this man you will instantly be stricken by his laughter, love and amazing talent. When we 1st met Milton we were instantly BLOWN away by his work. We were so lucky to have Milton for our wedding day but regardless, everyone in his studio is just as talented. For our day we had Milton, Liz and Neil. Talk about the A team. I felt like a celebrity with all these amazing photographers snapping away! Also, we has a 2nd engagement shoot w/Liz and this women is the female version of Milton. She is incredible. She just makes you feel so comfortable with the camera. At the reception they set up their laptop with pictures that were taken during the day. I had my friends running up to me on the dancefloor saying, “Those are the most amazing wedding pictures we have ever seen. Where did you find them?!?!”. I also had people ask me if I spent $10,000 on my pictures because they are that good! We got our proofs back & everyone that I show them to, they all tell me that I should submit them to a magz. Its so flattering! If you hired Milton Gil photography you will have theee best pictures! You will NOT be disappointed! If you are considering it, seriously – what are you waiting for…RUN & BOOK THEM!!! I am thrilled with the proofs!! I can’t stop looking at our pictures. They are just breathtaking amazing!!

MH really took the lead with the limo. We searched high & low and in the end, he felt the most comfortable with Rich from Santos. He was just a great guy. I had an issue with one of his drivers at another wedding a few months before my wedding. I shared my disappointment and I hoped that it would not happen again. The good thing is that he had already let that driver go even before I spoke to him. In the spirit of making it up, Rich himself was my driver. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing he was! This guy is just a class act. The limo ride was one of my highlights as crazy as it sounds. MH & I hooked up the stretches w/booze..lots of booze! Our BP was having a great time! Almost ½ of the BP was wasted BEFORE cocktail hr! I laughed! MH said it’s a sign of a great party! One of the GM could not even walk in for the intro & we lost another 2 more around dinner time. Personally – I got a kick out of it. But..back to the limo, the ride is so much fun. Nobody talks about the limo ride. Can I just tell you – going to the church & after the church its like the road opened up for us. People were driving by waiving, hocking, giving us thumbs up. It was a blast. Going to the church, I was with my brother & mother – both were giving me away! We saw my brother waving back & doing the Pope wave. It was hysterical! Rich just laughed & totally blended in w/my crazy family. Then on the way to Lamberts Castle the people were yelling out the windows to MH & I wishing us well, beeping & blowing kisses. It was theeee best ride of my life! Rich said its like that for every wedding. We had a blast. Also, I gotta tell you, since our priest ran late Rich was all over it. The man kept me calm the entire time. When nobody was giving me answers he went & got me the answers. He kept fixing my train & just a great guy! Also, at Lamberts’ Castle when we arrived he asked if it was ok if he goes like 5 min down the road to fill up the rolls w/gas. I thought that was great customer svc. The biggest thing of all – even though we ran late w/the church the man got us to cocktail hour ON TIME! That was huge. He told us not to worry. He kept tabs on the traffic for us & got us there & didn’t miss a beat! HIGHLY recommend them!!
