PLANNING: Christina was my lifesaver. She kept me organized and accommodated my every need, including all of my crazy requests. I felt completely confident in her recommendations and suggestions. As a long-distance bride, you need to work with someone you trust. Christina was all that and more; I'm so grateful I worked with her!

SERVICE: Wow. I was so impressed. Our glasses never went empty, the food was delivered promptly and according to schedule, the cake was cut and distributed quickly. We couldn't ask for anything more.

FOOD: De-li-cious. The appetizers we had were so tasty! The seafood buffet our guests had was awesome and my dad was thrilled with the giant shrimp and crab claws. For dinner, we had caesar salad, a dual-entree of steak and salmon, veggies and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. Everything was perfectly cooked, most notably the steak which was so tender that guests could cut it with a butter knife. Our very picky NY crowd was raving! Quite simply, this was the best food of any wedding/black-tie/semi-formal event out of the dozens we've attended. I'm so happy I got to eat my full meal!

LOCATION: The ceremony went perfectly on the terrace, and we had our cocktail hour in the foyer. Since we were the only wedding, we spread out and everyone relaxed and got their drink on. The view from the Biscayne Room can't be beat, and we had plenty of room for all of our tables, the photobooth, and dessert stations. Later on, we had a cigar bar on the terrace that was a total hit. Our friends were lounging outside with cigars and cocktails, chatting and having the best time. I swear, I almost cried. Total bliss.

I cannot express in words how much I love Andy, Oscar, and Jennifer. Seriously. Andy completely GOT US, from our e-pic session to the very last minute of the wedding. He was quick to reply to email/phone calls, was always on top of scheduling, and always had the best personality. He and Oscar were great in capturing sneaky candids without us noticing, and accommodating all the craziness that occurred. They even dealt with my rude extended family with a smile on their face (sorry guys!)

Their work? Speaks for itself. I can't believe that's really us in the photos. I told him I wanted a bunch of detail pics, and certain specific shots -- they got them all and then some. The teasers were AMAZING! We were on our honeymoon when we saw them and they were just incredible. Our parents burst into tears when they saw them.

We received teasers, our full online gallery, and album designs before some friends even received their teasers. Our album design is incredible and will be a fabulous reminder of such a special day with the people we loved.

Choosing Lux ensures that your big day -- or any important event! -- will be captured flawlessly and completely. Our pictures were full of emotion, fun, and love. I will always be grateful that we worked with them. Thanks Andy & team!

Meeting Lily first was one of the best decisions of this wedding. I wanted square, simple, elegant. She went above and beyond. She made some design suggestions that were incredible -- the cake was my dream come true and beyond! Everyone stopped and stared when they saw it. And then their jaws dropped at the groom's cake! I wanted a black t-shirt with his favorite band's logo on it, and it was EXACTLY the same as the picture I sent her. (He absolutely flipped out when he saw it!) I'm so glad Lily was setting it up in person because we just HAD to hug her!

Our wedding cake was vanilla rum with dulce de leche filling and chocolate kahlua with hazelnut filling. It was so ridiculously to die for, people were stealing pieces off of other tables! The groom's cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling and he was in cake heaven. Her fondant was delish. Neither of us ate any other desserts - nothing but cake. When we came back from the honeymoon, we were still eating vanilla rum cake and it was just as good as the day we cut it. Awww.

I will gladly order all my special events cakes from her from now on. She made a birthday cake for my dad that was just as incredible! She puts so much care and offers such wonderful customer service... Edible Creations is by far the top cake vendor in Florida.

I'm in love with Marty and Kenya. They're the sweetest people in the world. My husband has worked in film production, so he did all the research here. Marty was so professional and impressed him, which is hard to do. There were no other choices in videography; they were the only ones we spoke to and we booked them without meeting them in person.

Reinhardt did a great job of filming our wedding in its entirity. They were with us the ENTIRE day - from the first fluff of hair to the very last dance. We appreciated that there was no time limit and we didn't feel rushed with them. They worked beautifully with our photographers so they could both record the wedding without getting in each others' shots. And they did not disturb people who were partying and celebrating, and did a fabulous job getting interviews without any awkwardness. Everyone loved being around them, because of their friendly personalities and professional ease.

We received the completed DVD within 2 months of the wedding. Aaaand... it's awesome. They captured everything beautifully, the sound quality was perfect, and they really "got" what we were all about. There wasn't a single moment missed. They got every dance, every bite of dessert, all of our friends lounging on the terrace. Watching it makes me feel like I'm reliving the events. We are so happy to have our memories captured so well, and at such a fantastic price.

Thank you so much for everything!!

Prompt, professional, perfect. They were so flawless, they made everything run smoothly. We rented two limos to get there, one on the way back. We asked for one Excursion and one regular, but the second limo was upgraded to an Excursion as well. The ride flew by! Our driver Bartolo was the coolest. Our dads loved him!
