njamanda's reviews

We ordered part of our favors from LillianVernon.com and used a coupon code online. The favors were beautiful, extremely reasonable in pricing and arrived very quickly.

Jen of Jar of Ideas Design is really wonderful to work with. The quality of her invitations are amazing and she really takes the time to understand your wedding style.

We ordered my fiance's wedding band from iweddingband.com on a Friday and the band which was engraved came on the following Tuesday. Pricing is extremely competitive, great return service (we had to return the first one - wrong size, and it was engraved too and they did not charge us for it). I ended up ordering a matching plain white gold band from there for myself as well.

My fiance and I picked out my engagement ring together at Victorious Antiques in Cape May, NJ. The service was excellent, they let us take our time and try several different rings and provided appraisal papers for the one we decided on. The pricing for antique rings is incredible - I put in the cut, color, clarity and carat for my ring into BlueNile.com and it priced my diamond at $200 MORE than we paid for the WHOLE ring (platinum setting and small side diamonds).

We went to a rehearsal dinner in April at Costa del Sol in Union, NJ. The food and service were both very good, the Celestial Room was beautiful, their pricing (online) is extremely reasonable. They are a strong contender for our rehearsal dinner.

Kim at South Mountain Travel (in Millburn and West Orange, but most communication through email) and her boss Tom have been absolutely fantastic in helping me plan our honeymoon to South America. I would highly recommend both of them - communication is great, they will work to the best of their ability with their budget, and provide you with tons of information.

We went to the Famished Frog in Morristown, NJ for my friend's bachelorette party. We had dinner with a large group of girls (like 20) then drinks afterwards. Service and pricing were great, the DJ was pretty good too.

Hollywood Bridal is in Union, NJ and is a rather small shop, but their pricing is very good and alterations are included in the price of the dress. I had my bridesmaids order dresses from their and I also ordered a bridesmaid dress for myself from there for my friend's wedding. Customer service is good, though they are not always the warmest staff, they are never rude.

They have an excellent selection of dresses and will let you try on and take pictures, which is great, but their pricing is a little on the high side. They will give discounts for parties of 5 or more, but you still have to pay for alterations. We went there to pick our dresses but will order them from a shop with better pricing AND alterations included.

I booked Neil of One Perfect Moment to do my wedding photography after I worked with him for boudoir pictures. He is extremely professional, creative and talented. He is truly able to capture emotions and moments that could be easily missed and is such a pleasure to work with. I love that his day-of package is unlimited (about 10 hours) but he does not charge by the hour or for overtime and his pricing is definitely reasonable. We are having our engagement pictures done with him next week and I can't wait!
