I'm back from my own wedding/honeymoon and ready to get this blog moving! My own planning had taken up so much of my time, but it's great to be back in the swing of things. We had a fabulous wedding on September 25, 2010 shared with family and friends that we'll never forget. Big thank you's to our vendors that made the day perfect-
DJ- Ben Cohen of Cool Cat DJ. http://www.coolcatdj.com/ or on facebook http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/DJ-Benco/121010667919506. Ben was a FANTASTIC DJ who really completed our party and kept the dance floor packed from the beginning to end of our day. We intially met with Ben with some ideas we thought were a little whacky and he incorporated all of them flawlessy and easily into our day. Our guests have raved that Ben was the best DJ they've experienced at a wedding.
Florist- Kris Ann Elario of Fleurtacious Designs http://www.fleurtaciousdesigns.com/. Kris Ann did an AMAZING job on the flowers for our wedding. I had stalked her work on the internet for a long time (hey, her husband is my favorite local photographer-blogger! hopefully that makes it less creepy...) and was so excited to have her as our florist. Kris Ann created my amazing bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, bout's, and centerpieces that were incredibly gorgeous. The room setup was amazing and so unique.
Photographer- Maria Celeste Barthold of Off the Beaten Path Photography http://www.mceleste.com/. Maria is truly a doll to work with and she takes some amazing photographs, while staying so low-key and calming. We were both very anxious about having so many photographs taken of us, and from our initial meeting with Maria, we were so happy with how relaxed she made us feel. I would highly recommend Maria and can't wait to see all our pictures from the wedding!
Venue- The Stockade Inn, Schenectady, N.Y. http://www.stockadeinn.com/ The Stockade Inn was my dream venue and made our day perfect. From day one, I had envisioned a venue that could accomodate a ceremony, reception, and guest rooms, with a classic, romantic feel. I found all of this in the Stockade Inn. Jeff McDonald and all of the staff made the day absolutely perfect and were very professional and organized to work with.
Hair/makeup- I am obsessed with my wedding hair/makeup artists. I'm not afraid to admit it. Hair was done by Christopher Feml and his assistant Kat Broadus of Townsend and Company Salon, and makeup by Vanessa Crewe Ntabona, also of Townsend and Company Salon. http://www.townsendhairsalon.com/ Their amazingly fun personalities combined with their amazing talents put the finishing touches (literally) on our day! The girls and I had so much fun getting ready with them in the suite before the day and looked and felt absolutely fabulous after their amazing jobs were complete. We received so many compliments on our looks for the day, and I could not have been happier. And shout-out to Kat for being our emergency seamstress as well!
That's it for my vendor reviews and recommendations! Thank you all again for helping with our day.
Next up: my first-hand wedding day do's and dont's.
