Wedding Vendor Reviews

 Here's to all of our vendors who made our day magical :)

Florist- Just for you by Jane

What an amazing florist. I could go on and on about Jane from (Just for you flowers) Middlefield, CT. Jane was one of my favorite vendors to work with she knew exactly what my visions  were, yes visionssssss lol because I changed my mind so many times.  But every time I came to her with a new idea she stuck by me and helped me envision it, so that I could get exactly what I wanted.  And that's what I got! :)

Photographer- Michelle Wade Photography

Michelle was such a blast to work with at both our engagement session and our wedding day.

Michelle photographed all of the little details and captured our special day beautiful. 

I could not be any happier with our photographs and the service we received! 

 

 

Reception-Cascade

Cascade did such an amazing job and worked with us every step of the way. Down to ordering every linen sample you could think of. The service we received from day one was great and the attention to detail on our wedding day was spectacular! They get a big A+ :)

 

 

DJ and Lighting- Correlation Productions

Rob and Crew did and great job adding to the beauty of the reception with there lighting and entertained our guess with great music!

 

Hair and Makeup- Dana Bartone & Company

Dana and staff where great to work, with they did an amazing job on my hair and makeup as well as the bridesmaid hair and makeup. 

 

Photobooth- (Geoffrey) Photobooth Planet

I am so glad that we decided to go with the photobooth... 3 days before our wedding. This was the hit of our wedding and everyone enjoyed it and  they got to take a small piece of our wedding back home with them! Geoffrey was amazing to work with! :)

Cake- Jcakes

Hope was a pleasure to work with from the beginning.

 It was an easy choice from the start and I trusted her completely!

iPad, iPad, iPad

My quest for an iPad is over! DH and I went to the Apple store at 3 am and we were pretty surprised to only find a few other cars in the parking lot... But then again it was 3am. So, it was in fact a very long night and DH and I have not slept at all. But, it was all well worth it. No Pain, No Gain!


 Anyways we were the second in line for an iPad ... by about 6 am the line starting wrapping  the side of the building. There was one line for those who pre-ordered  and another line for us hopefuls. Doors opened at 9am on the dot. Since DH and I were second in line, we were out the door and on our way home by 9:08am. Talk about organization! I would say the morning was a success, seeing that we were lucky enough to get one.  I will try and do a review on the product some time soon but now its time for me to catch up on my ZZzzzzzZZZ.

*Oh and BTW Apple treated their customers very well.. We were offered waters, Starbucks coffee and baked goods. This is why Apple customers are so loyal to the brand, they try there hardest to keep us happy!!!

P.S. Look who got into the Greenwich Times (3rd image in) :

My Quest For An Ipad...

I am so excited for tomorrows release of the iPad. Some may not get what it purpose is, is it a computer or is it just a big iPod Touch? Its neither, it falls into its own category of devices that I can not wait to get my hands on. Why would I need it if I have a laptop and a smart phone? Some may ask.  Just picture yourself  relaxing on a couch in the comfort of your own home with a device smaller then a laptop but bigger then a smart phone. You wont have the bulkiness of your laptop on your lap and you wont have to squint your eyes and hold your phone to your nose just to look at a picture.  You can just comfortably hold you iPad while searching the web, reading books or magazines, playing video games, shopping online, uploading your videos and pics or even just blogging! Why wouldn't you want this lovely sleek "tablet" that does almost everything... Okay Okay, I'm not trying to sell you on buying an iPad I just thought you just might like to hear why I can't wait to have one.

Okay, so now this is why it's become my quest. As an Apple fan I know that when Apple releases a new product ... people camp out to become a proud owner of the newest Apple product. So guess what I'll be going at 5AM or earlier on Saturday, April 3, 2010?  If you guessed CAMPING OUT! You're RIGHT! lol I know it may sound a little crazy but DH and I are so anxious to have an Ipad and if we are lucky enough to get our hands on one guess who will have the coolest gadget on our flight to Mexico? US! haha j/k but we will definitely be entertained. :) 

SO COME BACK TOMORROW TO FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET MY HANDS ON ONE!!!! IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT!

TO BE CONTINUED !
