it's been a while..

So, it's been a long while since I had time to update my blog.. and let's just say it's been busy..

starting off with a change of ceremony venue literally a month before the wedding date!  yes, insane, but was able to pull it all together in time..  So, my original ceremony venue was too good to be true..  The place, versailles, was beautiful as seen above.. However, the service and coordinator on the other hand was HORRIBLE!! 

HUGE lesson learned - for all the brides out there.. (not sure why I didn't even think of this).. when picking out a vendor, don't just think of location or how it looks, etc..  make sure you look up on yelp, theknot, projectwedding or any other sites and their reviews.. if it's a place where they have never done weddings before or the person you're working with has only organized parties and events and never done a wedding.. then you can most def scratch them off your list!! 

Let's just say it took the guy I originally worked with months to come up with a summary, not even a complete breakdown, not even a contract up till 3 weeks before the wedding..  Yet, I found 6 other places and they all responded with a breakdown to the T, within less then 24 hours!!
