We stayed here on our wedding night. We choose the Marriott because we received an additional discount because someone in our family works there. Aside from the big favor it was great. The suite was stupendous! The hotel in general was very chic. Most of the time was spent relaxing so we didn’t get to enjoy all the goodies we had previously scheduled.

Using AOL travel was interesting because they always send me coupons, but I always ignored them. I finally logged on and they actually had pretty good deals. I was able to book a non-stop flight, hotel, transportation, and the honeymoon package at the same time (little did I know it would be cheaper to do that).

We had our rehearsal dinner at Maggiano's. Very elegant and quick service. You would have thought we were the only customers in the restaurant. The staff is very attentive and giving you things without you even thinking of asking. As an example our glasses were always full and food on the table. Whether we were waiting for an appetizer or the main course our waiters and waitresses were excellent. The meal/service was expensive but I would have paid double if I received the same service as I did that night- in the future.

Bobbi Browns Bridal kit came in handy for me. I was able to customize the exact look I wanted. All of the make-up came in a very nice white shiny case. There was enough room for me to add my own make-up as well. I still use it to this day. My girlfriend is a make-up artist so I just had her apply it for me on the big day.

My husband ordered his cufflinks online and they worked out perfectly. He was supposed to get them with his tux but something happened and there was miscommunication. My only concern was the selection QVC had. They are only selling about 2-3 cufflinks for a little over $100. If we had more time I would have done a little more searching.

Exquisite! I bought my bridal bouquet from this website recommended by my mother-in-law and it was a spectacular choice. They deliver well before the estimate delivery date and the flowers are fresh and ready to go. I even noticed they provide same day delivery for future notice. The customer service was impeccable and well appreciated. From you flowers deal with local florist so you won’t have to worry about shipping and dead flowers arriving or anything of the sort.

This was probably the easiest yet a very expensive order to place for my entire wedding. I was very hesitant on selecting a chocolate or candy of my choosing because of the many allergies out there. I just ordered a bunch of gift cards to Sees. My guests were able to buy popcorn, chocolate assortments, brittles, toffees, sugar free sweets, and many different candies. I would just suggest Sees' lower the gift card denomination to make it more affordable to others. Also, I got free shipping on my order.

I decided to go with a food company everyone was familiar with. Having Subway cater my bridal shower was very easy and cost effective. I thought it would be cool to have a giant sub because I always order the 6 inch for lunch. I ordered the one hundred foot long giant sub and actually had more then enough. My guests were able to take some of the left over’s home. The variety they offer was very convenient because not everyone likes the same thing. They also threw in a few dozen cookies for free.

I put a lot of time into searching for a stunning wedding gown. When I stumbled upon my sleeveless white satin, A-line gown with such graceful embroidery I just had to buy it. (I found it on Amazon from David's Bridal). It was such a good deal I didn’t care about the size. I got my seamstress to take it in on both sides so it fit perfectly. When you buy something on amazon they give you tips on other items that might go with your purchases. Of course I then bought a short veil to go with it.

I was very surprised by the entertainment. It wasn’t too raunchy but wasn’t too modest. Being my first time in a stripping establishment I didn’t feel weird or anything. The service was good and it wasn’t crowded. All and all it was a nice last time out with the girls being my last night out as single woman.
