Buying the premium option of the wedding lens was defiantly worth the $30. Our guests were able to upload the photos they took in a size that we can now download and print. Some of our guests got great shots that we will defiantly be using in our wedding album and it was a really good way to see a recap of the day through our guests eyes.
Father Anderson was amazing. He was willing to work with us at the Garden and helps you create your ceremony so it is exactly what you want. He kept the mood romantic and touching but also put in a few laughs.
Arlene is wonderful and her cakes are even better! She has beautiful cakes on display and I thought there was no way something so pretty could taste good. I was wrong! She has so many great options of flavors there is really something for everyone. The best part is her prices are not over the top and she will work with your budget so you get what you want and what you can afford. When we went in for the tasting we were not sure exactly what we were looking for but by the time we left we had a sketch in hand of exactly what our cake would look like.
The cake was a hit at the reception and even the other vendors were asking about it. Could not have asked for better!
Jeff from Pyramid DJ was great. He was one of the most important parts of making sure our guests were enjoying themselves. He kept things on schedule and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. We used him for both the ceremony and reception. I would absolutely recommend him!
USED FOR REHEARSAL DINNER- SEE SAN SEBASTION WINERY FOR MORE RD REVIEWS...
The food from A1A was great. Everyone loved it and the prices were VERY reasonable.
Because I wanted Stargazer Lilies (and they have a VERY strong smell) we used minimal flowers. The only real ones were my bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids flower, and the groom and groomsmen boutonnieres (which were a different flower). My bridal bouquet turned out perfect and was exactly what I wanted but the girls flowers were not what I paid for. They were each supposed to get 2-3 stems and they only had one. I was also supposed to get a toss bouquet and she sent over one unwrapped stem. Overall I was very dissatisfied!
Leah is a wonderful photographer. She was willing to do what it took to get any and every shot. She does a great job with the formals and keeping them organized but she is really great at getting the natural, unposed shots.
Olivia at the Zebra Room was wonderful. We took about 10 lessons with her and she was so patient. When we started, my husband could barely do the basic box step and when we left we he was able to lead me around the dance floor.
We booked Le Blanc through CheapCarribbean.com and got a great deal with lots of upgrades. We had a honeymoon suite with a two person tub in the room overlooking the ocean. Everyone at Le Blanc was very accommodating and the food and drinks were great (hard to find at in all-inclusive). We put our upgrades to good use and used our spa credit (which was wonderful!) and we also did the dolphin experience and the jungle cruise (also both included and lots of fun!) For anyone who is travailing to Cancun for the first time... Make sure you book transportation in advance (we used Olimpus which we bought through Cheap Caribbean) and make sure when you get to the airport you go directly outside to your transportation. People inside stopped us and we thought they were being nice and helping but really it was a scam and they were trying to sell us a timeshare. He wasn't pushy about it but we thought we were waiting for our transportation to arrive but he had nothing to do with Olimpus.
Sacino's has a deal where if you rent your tux through them they will give you free wedding invites. We used the Sacino's in Sanford near our house but they have other locations. The invites I REALLY wanted were not included in the promo but the person helping says, "every girl should have the invites they really want, it sets the tone for what the rest of the event will be like" so she made it work. Our invites were not free but she took $200 off the price and they turned out great.
