Jeanine was wonderful and very sweet. She had no problem with showing up at 5am on my wedding day and was wide awake! Everything went so smoothly with time to spare. She did exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She also did everyone’s hair in the bridal party and my mother’s. Everyone was gorgeous. I didn’t have to worry about the hair because it stayed up and pinned all day long! She was a joy to work with.

I loved my flowers! Joe was great and did exactly what I wanted. I originally wanted a yellow bouquet. After meeting with about 3 other florists, Joe and his partner were the only people to tell me that yellow might not look right with my dress. People probably think that since you’re the customer, they should give you what you want. But I truly appreciated the fact that they were open and honest with me. After I met with them, I finally decided on the color scheme of pink, green, and white and I could not have been happier. I feel awful that I cannot remember the other man there who worked with me but him and Joe are great! The flowers came out amazing and really helped make the day picture perfect.

I purchased my wedding dress here along with the bridesmaid dresses. I absolutely love the staff and the selection at this store! Gary and Elise are fantastic! They’re honest, helpful, and make you feel at home. I felt as if they would never steer you in the wrong direction. The last thing you want when you’re planning your wedding is someone who just wants you to buy something. I feel as if they really care about their customers and want you to look your best on your wedding day. My cousin also bought her wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses from them and again, nothing but fabulous service. The prices are also insanely reasonable. Best bridal store – hands down!

The Primavera is absolutely fantastic! I think it is absolutely the best place to get married at in New Jersey. The food is out of this world; cocktail hour and the Viennese presentation were immaculate! There is such an abundance of food and it’s nothing but extraordinary. Our maitre’d Steve did a fantastic job of making sure we were nothing but satisfied all day long. The entire staff did a great job of taking care of our guests; they were nothing but amazing. The site itself is beautiful. I’m jealous that it wasn’t a warmer day out on our wedding to have an outdoor ceremony. However, having the ceremony inside was just as beautiful. We really felt as if the entire staff at the Primavera went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and it truly was.

Awesome photographer! Bill is fantastic and his prices were so reasonable. After having problems with my previously booked photographer, Bill made us feel very comfortable and we felt like we were in good hands. The pictures came out absolutely wonderful! There has been such great feedback from our families/friends on the pictures. He took traditional posed pictures before the ceremony and near the end of the reception. During the reception, he completely did his own thing which we loved. He was not in our faces the whole time - I didn’t even know where he was for the most part! What’s great about that is that he captured so many moments we missed during the reception that we now can look at and appreciate. Bill was also willing to take non-traditional pictures, which I was all for. He spent time with us after the reception to take more pictures. We actually visited the local downtown area and a supermarket near our reception site which was great! The people were had such a positive reaction to us. It’s not everyday you see a bride and groom when you’re food shopping. Overall, we loved picking Bill to capture our special day.
