We chose Perfect Photo Video based on their website. We wanted a more photo-journalistic approach, which their website displayed. The price was also very good. The staff were very professional and nice people. Our photographer was a real sweetheart and took a ton of pictures. I was happy with the posed shots, but didn't get as many photo-journalistic (candid) shots as I would have hoped. I'm not sure if this is really the photographer's fault, things got rushed at some points, so it wasn't always easy to get those shots. Plus we had our reception in a restaurant, so it may have been a little lacking in ambiance. We got the $999 package which, if I remember correctly, got us 6 hours of shooting and three photo albums, the kind where the pictures are actually printed on the pages, which look very professional. After the wedding they sent me a disk (about three months later) and templates for the albums, so I could choose the photos and design the layout. Honestly, after the wedding was over, I just didn't want to get involved in the big project of designing the albums, so I opted to just get the prints (and a partial refund) and I figure one day when I have the time and energy, I'll design the albums. Overall, they did a good job, and for the price, were worth it. I just didn't think my pictures compared to those on the website, at least in style.
Macy's Bridal Salon by Demetrios NY, New York 10001
I got my wedding gown at Macy's Bridal in Manhasset. I love my dress! It is very unique and I have it tailored to make it even more unique. The salon by Demetrios has coture dresses that really make you feel special. The staff was nice and the tailor did and excellent job. I also got my veil and a barette for my hair and they gave me a discount to buy all three together. The only stressful thing was that I tried on a size 16 in the store, but I am a size zero, so I didn't really know how my dress would fit until about a week or two before the wedding. But when it came in, all was well and I looked great!
We used David as our DJ and he did a great job! My husband and I have very different taste in music and so do our families. He was able to please everyone! We got a mix of alternative, rock, a little hip hop and even salsa and merengue. I told him I'm not one for the spotlight and don't like to dance, and he was very respectful of that and didn't force me to dance or draw extra unwanted attention to me. I can't say enough good things!
Roberta is a warm, caring, and kind person. She really got to know each of us and our personalities and tastes so she could help us to design our ceremony. We are both non-traditional when it comes to religion, and she helped us to create a ceremony that was meaningful to each of us. My husband has children from a previous relationship and we wanted to make them a part of the ceremony, as well. Roberta had some really great ideas on how to include them and celebrate not only our new marriage, but also our new family. She really listened to us and put a lot of thought into the ceremony. We even had a stone ceremony where every guest was given a stone and made a wish for us, which we collected at the end and still have in our house to remind us of the day and how important each guest is to us. It is a wonderful keepsake, and one that we'll love to display long after the wedding is over. So if your looking for real personal attention and something more to your tastes than the standard ceremony, I highly recommend Roberta Koepfer. Thanks Roberta!
