Niki simply did an amazing job! I recommend airbrush makeup to any bride. It wore very well on me.

Niki is responsive, timely and really knows her craft! Because she has worked on television, she knows how to make you look your BEST in the most natural and flattering way!

And the best thing is she's such a nice person to work with.

I just saw the clip of our wedding...WONDERFUL! He caught moments, I totally forgot about. I didn't remember how beautiful our ceremony was until I saw the film.

Chris is an EASE to work with! I know there are some brides who are panicked by a multitude of many things going on with the planning of their wedding. If you choose eMotions -- you will absolutely have nothing to worry about. Chris is UPFRONT, FAIR, HONEST AND offers EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY!

When I went to his site, I loved the clips. When I saw that he had the pricing actually listed on his site -- even better. I hate to haggle. He was so nice, very personable, I hated keeping him from his family on a Saturday night.

Right now my clip is on Facebook, my FB friends love the wedding! Even after 15 hours after the posting, I'm getting all sorts of great comments.

I worked with Kathy Fallon for our cocktail hour/reception at Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers. Working with her was like working with a friend in the business. She gave me so many tips and pointers on how to negotiate items outside of our food!

Our menu was TERRIFIC. Guests loved our mix of comfort, exotic and fun foods. People are still talking about the mashed potatoes!

The person I worked with was great, Sarah. She was very responsive and very nice.

The cake we received for our wedding tasted great! All the guests loved the cake and I caught many taking an extra piece and having it wrapped.

BUT, my cake was NOT what I expected. Like the other poster be very specific. I am not just complaining to complain either. I re-read my original quote; a purple ribbon was requested for the base of each cake - the "ribbon" (a layer of frosting) was WHITE. It made my cake look blah.

The site also indicates that they make "one of a kind" and just because you bring a picture, they will not duplicate another designer. MY CAKE WAS EXACTLY LIKE A GUEST'S WEDDING CAKE! The only difference, I requested our initials. I sent Sarah a monogram. My monogram was very classy which was my theme, done in calligraphy with a little cake bling. The monogram I received was our initials on a white chocolate circle and the way the initials were done it looked like someone frosted the cake, said "whoops" and just hand wrote our initals out on the chocolate. I am sssoooo pissed. No, I did not call or complain. Why bother the cake was eaten at the wedding.

My guests think my cake was nice, I did not. It was NOT the vision! And to think I sent so many pictures of what I wanted, including my wedding dress. I wish I could attach the pictures of what I was expecting and what I received. And sadly, I cannot get over it. People dream of their wedding from top to bottom and that cake wasn't part of the dream.

I will continue to buy baked goods from Lulu's their confections are absolutely WONDERFUL. They are nice people but, if you have to stand over them and watch your cake being decorated do it!

Our photographer was Peter (Peter the Great). From our first meeting I was very confident in his work. Peter is thorough, honest and very well organized – I love that.

My wedding took place during one of the hottest days in July. The heat was intolerable I didn’t think I had the energy to go through with the shoot. Peter was very patient and accommodating. He encouraged me and the results…the results were amazing.

We received “The Story of the Day,” we were absolutely stunned! We simply could not stop looking at our pictures while on our honeymoon! The pictures and the slideshow concept, right down to the music was superb!

Immediately, we sent the link to our guests and those unable to attend. The response was resoundingly positive! People loved the photos. They evoked emotion, style, sophistication; some felt these photos should be in a magazine! Some of those comments came from people who have entertainment or advertising industry experience. We were flattered and Peter should be as well!

To anyone considering VESA; you will be MORE than satisfied and the best part about their service – the memories are forever!

I don't think I have enough words to say how wonderful Patrick has been to work with!! Responsive, attentive and creative! I simply love it. Patrick and Josh have made the planning fun and stress free. They are producing my entire decor (florals, lights, ceremony, gobos -- just everything).

They listened, they advised and didn't over sell me (I don't like strong sales people). They worked with me and understood I am a bride on a budget. The result they produced an absolutely glamorous mock up! (They even understood when we were an hour late). I think it will be featured. Brides realize this is a sample the real one will be bigger!!!

Once that was out of the way, we talked. My groom and I were so comfortable. So much that I had another appointment, I just cancelled it. They offered me so many great ideas, value-adds and Patrick is a stylist! Show him your dress and he can show you how to be the MOST_________ (glamourous, unique, beautiful, etc.) bride you can be.

CITYIRIS is well worth your time!

I can't say enough. Brides/Grooms - CALL CITYIRIS.NET! My wedding was beautiful! Patrick and Josh did a fabulous job. They were everything a person should expect in a vendor. They can work with you on a small budget to something absolutely grand!

The delivery was on time, they offered me so many choices and when my budget was exhausted they helped me to find alternatives, they were caring and made me feel VERY SPECIAL. During dinner my husband commented on how nice my bouquet smelled.

My guests raved about how beautiful the centerpieces were and they loved taking them home. My guests who took home flowers said they felt like they were IN the wedding because the flowers so well done.

Let me emphasize, it was not just flowers. They did my invitations, table numbers, lighting, they designed the look of the room for the evening! It was just so nice. I just wish it hadn't ended so quickly.

I went there a few days ago.

Yes, it is a warehouse type of STORE. It is a store people, it just has tons and tons of dresses. So if you get overwhelmed easily, like me, just breathe and take your time. It was just too many dresses for me.

I had a Kleinfeld's appointment, I might still keep it, but I don't think it will be worthwhile. RK has a great selection, the owner was nice. Aisha -- wonderful.

If you want to feel really special, go before 2:00 p.m. and go during the week. I went both times between 12-2 and NO ONE WAS there. I had almost all the consultants to myself. I was treated beautifully. Now, I just placed my order, so I have sometime before the dress gets here, but they were great.
