	About our wedding:   Review of my 12/12 Wedding Reception/Ceremony Site: Greentree Country Club New Rochelle, NY A++++ (www.greentreeclub.com) From begining to end this was a terrific experience. Christine (our day of coordinator) made sure that everything was set and ready for the day of the wedding. When we got to the hall she took me and my bridesmaids to the bridal suite which had our bouquets in them already. They kept checking on us making sure that we had everything that we needed. The night before we dropped off everything and I didn't worry about anything one bit. The food was terrific and they even prepared extra meals for people who didn't like what they had first ordered. Then Carlos (the maitre'd) came up and asked Kevin and I if we would like to try one of the other meal choices...so we got 3 dinners!! I can't say enough good things about the Greentree. They made the whole experience so great. The only thing that was a little annoying was that we were having the wedding outside in an enclosed patio/balcony and they didn't turn on all the heaters, but as soon as it was brought to their attention they turned them on and fixed everything and wouldn't let people in till it was warmed up enough. The cake was more beautiful than the picture and tasted so good we had more the next night for dessert! Please, please use these people or tell someone you know to use them. They were terrfic! Photographer: Melanie Wesslock A+++++ (www.melaniewesslock.com) I cannot say enough good things about Melanie as well. I feel as if I will not only have great pictures, but I made a great friend in the process. She was there early! on Friday and was able to calm me down and just chat with me and make sure that everything was ok. She even brought her own bridal emergency kit with her. The best thing was that I didn't even notice her the whole night. I turned around at one point and she was there, but other than that I would've never known that there was someone taking pictures. Again nothing bad to say and I can't wait to show pictures. Flowers: My friend's aunt If you can find someone who has an eye for flowers or anything artisitic I say use them. The woman who did my flowers followed my directions and everything looked so so good. I can't even begin to describe how great everything looked. A+ in my book. DJ: Joe Shane/Mobile Music DJ's A (www.joeshane.com) Joe was terrific. He did our ceremony music and reception and people could not stop commenting on how good it all was. We gave him a list of do not plays and if someone asked he let us know and asked us what we wanted to do. He was also very out of the way. He did not use the microphone at all and just let the music play. He was so good. He got everyone up and dancing and just really did a great job. People had reservations about a DJ, but they left with nothing but good things to say. He also played every song that we wanted to hear and was able to gage what the people wanted to hear and dance to. Bridal Gown: Fontana's C I'm not even going to be as mean as I should be about Fontana's. I felt very pressured every time I walked in there and they always rushed me. The staff was also very rude...except for the younger girls there who were genuinly excited about my wedding. They also did not reinforce my bustle and the button popped off the night before the wedding when we were trying to figure out the bustle. So the morning of the wedding I had to go and buy crazy glue to fix the problem and wound up just safety pinning my bustle for the rest of the night. I would not recommend them. Grooms Attire: Zeller Tuxedos A I was hands off on Kevin's attire, but he says that they were terrific and very attentive to his ideas. They also persuaded him not to get the more expensive tux that he wanted and go for the look-a-like that was a lot cheaper. He says that he recommends them, so that's good enough for me. That's about it for right now. We had a very bare bones wedding, but it was beautiful. Good luck to everyone!
