Another startup website, WeddingWire, is offering a $5 gift card to Amazon.com for newlyweds and married folks who provide reviews of 5 wedding vendors. Thanks to reader Susie for the tip.
Although this may not be the most efficient use of time, I kind of like the idea of sharing feedback in this area. You’re usually talking about a large amount of money on a one-time event. Reviews would have definitely been welcome. In our case, we actually got food poisoning from one (rather expensive) hotel meal we had, we didn’t feel they handled it very well. On the flip side, our photographer was awesome and exceeded our expectations. Not a bad deal overall – One horrible night after the wedding, but a permanent set of beautiful pictures. 🙂
The Riviera is just so amazing. They do only one wedding at a time, in a day. So you can pick your start and end time. They are a great price, all very friendly and the best part of your party is that it will have a 2 hour cocktail! Can it get better than that? Its also located in brooklyn. If you book with them, you will not regret it!
Davids bridal has great prices but not worth it at all. They are very unorganized. The dresses are very cheap and uncomfortable. I could not get any one to help me. If you are lucky enough to find a dress for 599 taht you like, you have to pay for all the undergarmets (like 200 dollars or more) and all the fittings. By the time you are done paying, you might as well got a nice beautiful dress from a real bridal salon. I will never go back there.
The knot is very helpful when planning a wedding from start to finish. They have links to all kinds of vendors and different ideas. They have sites to help you organize yourself such as the guestlist or present manager, or even your favorite dresses. This is a great site to use if you dont know where to start.
Platinum D.J’s has a great showcase. They are pros. When they talk in the microphone, it sounds like they were born to do it. They get the crowd up and moving. They are very professional, very nice looking men and a pleasure to listen to. There phone number is 866- plat-wed or email is http://www.PlatinumEntDJs.com. They definitely out due ANY band!
