Ron from Ultra Sound was fantastic and although M & F hasn't gotten many positive reviews here, we used them and were more than pleased...ask for Maggie the owner to help you.

FLOWER MICHELE - John is the greatest!!! Luv Him

Ditto!!

I also went to Flowers By Brian. His estimate was a few hundred dollars less. The flowers were beautiful, but it felt like a factory - they do about 25-30 weddings a weekend. I also did not care for Brian at all - I thought he was awful.

I really liked the personalized service at Flower Michele. One of my BM's used FBB and loved him, so it's a matter of personal preference.

I would highly recommend them both!

We booked Starlight Express and are extremely happy with our choice. Every person and vendor I mention them to only has great things to say about them.

Florists -- We are using Queens Florist Center. they are great and create the most beautiful presentations.

Re: can anyone recommend dj or florist?

Vinny- high Voltage... you cannot beat his prices and he is good!

Trina from Expressions... quality flowers, lower price brcause she works out of her home (she comes to you) and real one-on-one attention... she's not a factory.

Re: can anyone recommend dj or florist?

We are using Tommy's Tunes for a DJ, and Trina from Expressions Floral for the florist. Both were great to meet with. The flower samples were amazing, and Frank with Tommy's Tunes were beyond nice!!!

With respect to Pedestals, my cousin is using them for her wedding which is in 6 weeks, and raves about them too. Her mother ordered centerpieces from them for my cousin's shower, which was two weeks ago and they were AMAZING.

Vinny did an awesome job at my wedding and my friends!

I used Strawberry Fields for flowers but they are located in Montauk.

I'm using National - love them, sample CP is gorgeous, and can't beat the price!

I'm using Vinny from High Voltage Sounds - excellent, highly recm'd, and very reasonably priced.

Re: can anyone recommend dj or florist?

I had a band so can't recommend a DJ but I used Dalsimers for my flowers. I LOVED working with them and my flowers were exactly what I wanted. I had a dream about my flowers the night before we went to look. When I walked in to the store, I literally saw the centerpiece of my dreams!
