Barby26's Reviews 08.01.09

Ceremony: St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church
They were amazing and so was my priest Father John.


Coral Gables Women’s Club A+++++
They accommodated us on very short notice.


Caterer (incl. floral, linens, & DJ): Elegant Party Production
I have to break this down.

Caterer-B!!!
as far as the food goes it taste great, I also liked that they provided top shelf liquor for us. The reason they got a B is because they seem to be a bit disorganized prior to our arrival and we they took longer than usual to serve dinner. I am not sure why this was. We also had a chocolate fountain provided by them but there were no plates for the fountain. They also provided chargers at no extra cost.

Linens A!!!!!
They also provided linens they had a large variety and my colors matched perfect.

Floral A+++++
Elegant provided the flowers and I have to say they were amazing I was extremely pleased with my flowers and the centerpieces.


Cake: Divine Delicacies F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not recommend this vendor. I did change my color scheme a few times on the cake but the day of the wedding the flowers that I paid extra for which were supposed to be hot pink were brought in a peach color no where near to any color pink. Aside from that the fondant was cracked and the cake on one side was sunk in. I was extremely disappointed since this was the vendor I was most excited about. Once the caterer and my coordinators saw the cake they contacted divine delicacies and they were supposed to come back to fix the cracked fondant and they never did. Once I called to complaint about the cake they never even returned my call. My coordinators and caterer saved the cake by adding hot pink flowers on top and having some flowers cascade down the cake where the cake was sunken and cracked.


Up Lighting: Liquid DJs A+++++!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lighting in the room was amazing they did such a good job they also had very good pricing.


My Oh My Events (Diana Louzado) www.myohmyevents.com A++++++++
I don't even know where to begin. They did such an amazing job. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. She was on top of everything with the cake the caterer she made sure everything I wanted was done. She also was great help during my wedding planning she assisted me with my unity candle, wedding ideas, and so much more. She also did such an amazing job on my sweetheart table, menu and on our place card. I also have to thank Marisol her assistant and her husband Orly for everything they did for us as well. My hubby left his phone in the limo and Orly bent over backwards for us and made sure the driver came back to give us our phone. We had some wedding crashers and Marisol and Diana very tastefully escorted them out of the room. I cannot say enough about what an amazing job My Oh My Events did and I know my wedding would not have been the same without them.


Photographer: Anthony W. Photography A!!!
So far I have only gotten some samples which I love. They look great.


Greynolds Florists, Inc. 305-893-7630 Flowers for Church A!!!!
They provided the flowers for the Church and did a good job.


Tuxes Zayas Fashions Inc. C!!!
The tuxes were all ok but the only issue I had with them was that both my ring bearers are small both are about 1 1/2 old they kept telling me the shoes would not be a problem. On the Thursday before my weeding the shoes were too big on them and they did not give us a discount for the shoes being big. We had to purchase shoes separately for the boys.


Padrino Limousine 305-871-6767 A!!!!
They did a great job. The driver even returned when we left our phone in the limo.


David’s Bridal (Coral Gables) -B+++
I have to say my dress was beautiful. The only complaint I have about the store is that they are super overcrowded and when I was going to have my dress fitted the lady was not picking up the back of my dress correctly so I ended up taking my dress to a private seamstress to get it picked up.

I also have to thank my Hubby for all of his great ideas & Carolina (my best friend) Designs by Carolina. Carolina provided the invitations for the wedding and bridal shower.


Anna Noriega-Makeup A+
She did an amazing job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Angelica—A+
My hair was beautiful and lasted the entire night.
