Jeanine Mangan (A++++++++)
WOW is all I can say! Jeanine is an absolute doll and an artist! She did me, 3 of my bridesmaids and both moms and everyone looked amazingly beautiful. Jeanine does the makeup of the anchors on MSNBC and is very experienced in makeup. Mine stayed on all night and all that had to be reapplied was my lipstick. Even through all the crying, my eye makeup stayed put. My mom who never wears makeup was stunning and my MIL also looked great! Jeanine has an amazing personality and she makes you laugh every time you are around her. You just have to love her!!!

The Allwood Florist (A++++)
My flowers were absolutely spectacular. I was so pleased with the flowers and service we got. This florist is a small florist in Clifton that my mom has been working with for years and the owner, Kathy, is so nice. I had requested heather in my bouquet and she said that it was very hard to find in October but she would try. Well, 3 days before the wedding, she called and said she was able to get it! I was so happy! The girls bouquets were just gorgeous and my mom had a small nosegay that was also beautiful. I made my own centerpieces, but they supplied the rose petals to go around the hurricane lamps. When Kathy got to Perona to drop of the flowers, she noticed that the centerpieces weren’t put together, so she helped to put them together along with putting the votives in the holders, even though she did not supply them! Highly recommended!

The Wedding Store (A+)
I got my dress here and it was the most AMAZING experience! I felt like such a princess when I was there. Everyone doted on me! They were just so fabulous to work with and so nice. I also bought my veil and jewelry from them! When I went to pick up my dress and veil, they gave me a beautiful Christmas ornament with our names and wedding date on it! I thought that was so nice!

An Affair to Remember (A+++++)
Vita is an incredible person. As a friend and a business woman, she is just awesome inside and out. She has the most amazing personality and if you are looking for a wedding planner, Vita is your woman! I loved working with her and she just always knows the right things to say and do and her ideas are amazing!

Josh Lynn (A++++)
Josh is my favorite vendor. He is such a great guy and he just makes you feel so comfortable from the moment you meet with him. All along the process, he would call or e-mail just to check in to see how everything was. The day of, he arrived at the hotel to take pictures of us getting ready and he just relaxed me completely! Everyone said how great he was and you didn’t even know he was there. I don’t really like the traditional posed pictures, but I knew I had to do some of them and he made them seem so natural! At the reception, Josh set up his laptop with a photo montage of the pictures he had taken of Scott and I getting ready and of our ceremony. It was a wonderful touch that we did not expect. Another thing we did not expect is that he put a mini album of pictures in our card box as a gift to us! It was amazing. His work is just INCREDIBLE.

Perona Farms (A+)
Ruth was our maitre d’ and she catered to our every whim. Although our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors, they did an outstanding job of making the indoor ceremony room perfect. The food was outstanding (so I hear!!!). The cocktail hour was wonderful. They had fabulous food that you don’t normally find at a wedding, like banana spring rolls, shrimp scampi in filo, oysters, and their specialty smoked salmon display. People are still raving about the food and the impeccable service. They waited on everyone hand and foot. When we got home from our honeymoon there was a lovely note from our banquet manager thanking us for having our wedding there. I just thought it was a really nice touch.
