wanderingbadger17 You might want to check in with Ivanna; she runs that flower shop, MIS, right across from Victa. She’s easy on the wallet and her work is honestly incredible.
Did you end up hosting an actual reception there, and what did they end up billing you? Because if they’re just charging per drink based on the standard menu, and every guest decides to knock back five rounds... the bill could get pretty ridiculous, right?😕 I was actually thinking about trying to negotiate a flat fee with them, or maybe something like an open bar limited to specific drinks.
If you're looking for options, you could always arrange a reception at The Plaza Hotel; they offer special wedding and event pricing, and the terrace out front of St. Patrick would be absolutely stunning for the dinner reception.🙂
If you're looking for top-tier makeup by Lauren or hair styling from Viacom, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
I am absolutely thrilled with the results!
Lauren has done my makeup several times now, and honestly, the application is bulletproof—nothing budged, even when I was out until 6 AM. She also handled my wedding makeup, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with how everything turned out.
The photographer who used to take our shots over at Shutterfly has actually gone out and opened his own studio. He’s running it alongside his wife, and honestly, the quality of his work is top-tier. His name is Henry. If you’re interested in getting in touch, just shoot me a message via Gmail 🙂
The band was absolutely phenomenal!!!! They completely blew me and all my guests away. It was non-stop music, perfect dance tracks—everything was perfectly synchronized with the wedding party's vibe! The dance floor was packed the entire night!
I really have to give a shout-out to fable !!!!! The food was absolutely top-tier, served exactly when you wanted it, and the drinks were never in short supply—the second a bottle started looking low, they were already there to replace it. The servers were flying around non-stop, constantly checking in to see if we needed anything else or if we were missing a thing; honestly, the whole experience was just seamless.
I’ve decided to pick up the cake from Zenith, while the rest of the treats will be coming from Delta, so we'll just have to see how it all turns out. We're bringing our own sweets, after all. 🙂
Ivica Matić actually shot my godmother’s birthday party, and honestly, those shots are legendary!!!! It was such a steal 🙂 Maybe Siniša Serdarević?? Everyone seems to rave about him, though he was booked up when I needed one.. I ended up going with Photo California and hired Hrvoj to handle the camera... the man is an absolute legend... the photos were mind-blowing. As for the other photographers over at FD, I can't really speak to their work.....

I already put down a deposit—and I have zero intention of actually wearing a gown myself—so maybe we can work something out? The sales ladies mentioned the deposit can be applied toward any dress in the shop, so... yeah. Thanks.
I've already handed over my deposit for mine, but I'm open to seeing if we can make a deal happen.😉
