I just like this shot as it shows the back of the dress and the skirt quite nicely

Getting in and out of a hammock in a wedding dress is quite tricky...

Coming soon: Vendor reviews!
 
Natalie, your pictures are gorgeous!! Of course I've said that on FB several times, but I just wanted to say it again! :cutie:

...and you're DP food is making me hungry!!!
 


Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting so many of them. I can't wait to read the vendor reviews, as we are using quite a few of the same vendors that you used.
 
What lovely pictures, thanks for sharing. It looks like you had an amazing day :)
 


Natalie,

I know I have commented on facebook on your photos, but had to say again that they are lovely! Everything was perfect.
 
Wow! Everything looks so lovely! Your wedding turned out so nice. I love the picture of Micky and Minnie cutting the cake with you. That was so sweet! I am jealous and wish I could remarry my sweetie all over again'

I love e picture in the hammock with I dos on your shoes! So cute. Totally worth the effort to get in it!
 
Natalie! I just caught up on your whole PJ. :surfweb: Michelle actually sent me your way, PJ wise! She & I were talking a little while back, and she told me your PJ would be a great one to read, since it has some similarities to what I'm thinking about for a wedding. And, I've seen you post on the facebook group as well, so I'm really glad to put a PJ to a person! :)

Your pictures are beautiful! Your day looked absolutely amazing! Can't wait to hear more about the trip, as well as your vendor reviews.

Talk to you soon!!! :goodvibes

Thank you! I promise to post some vendor reviews! I'm a bad bride for not keeping with my TR!! If you have any questions about vendors just give me a shout! :)

What lovely pictures, thanks for sharing. It looks like you had an amazing day :)
Thank you Jillian!!

Beautiful pictures!! You both look so happy! :lovestruc
Thank you! We really were happy, I don't think I've smiled as much as I did that day! :)

Oh thanks so much! I'd be happy to help in any way in you have any questions. That's really nice of Michelle too :) I will get on with the vendor reviews ASAP
 
Hey everyone. Today is our 5 month anniversay!!! :lovestruc And I'm finally getting round to those vendor reviews I promised months ago! Sorry it's taken me so long :worship:

Ok, first up.................

Meri L Hurst - Planner : 10/10
I really liked Meri and found her really good at responding to my emails. She was planning her own wedding at the time but this didn't cause any problems. She was super nice when we spoke on the phone and lovely in person too. Everything went to plan on the day so full marks to Meri :)

Elizabeth Sutton : Floral Planner : 10/10
Elizabeth was lovely when we spoke on the phone and understood exactly what we wanted for the day. To be honest we didn't spend a huge amount on floral (I think the WP is really beautiful as is) but what we did have was really lovely. I sent swatches of fabric which was matched to our cakes, my bouquet etc. Our blue chair back ties were the only thing that didn't match exactly but I can't say it bothered me as they still looked lovely. She was super quick at responding to emails too!

Jason Angelini - Photographer : 9/10
I reeeeaaaalllly wanted to give Jason a 10 out of 10 but something held me back slightly. Don't get me wrong, Jason is a fab guy, great photographer and I would recommend him in a heart beat...there was just a few shots I feel we missed out on. Perhaps that was partly our fault and should have spoke up but to be honest the day just whizzed by and it was only after that I realized we had missed them. It was just little things like a shot of me on the staircase in the GF, a pic with our officiant etc, on the beach with WP in the background. Also we have very few pics of the DP (infact there isn't one of me or Phil there). As I said, I still recommend Jason and wouldn't want this review to put people off as he really is great, it's just me being truly honest.

Trinity Wedding Video : Videographer : 10/10
If I could give 20 out of 10 I would. Seriously. These guys were wonderful. David and Kristina are a married couple and are really friendly and great to work with. Some times we didn't even notice them (in a good way!). They were so unintrusive (is that a word?! lol) and we got our sneak peek the very next day, which blew us away. We should be getting our final full length video this next week and we can't wait to see it! Worth every single penny. Book them today!!

Tropical Trio: Music : 10/10
Created such a wonderful atmosphere for our reception. They don't sing but that doesn't matter, the music alone is just lovely and perfectly suited our party. Highly recommend!

Mickey & Minnie : 1000/10!! :laughing:
Seriously. Worth every single penny. We kept them a secret and the reaction they got from our guests was fabulous. The four children at the wedding were over the moon (Phil's niece ADORES Minnie Mouse!). We weren't sure if anyone would dance being as there was only 19 of us but Mickey & Minnie soon sorted that out. They literally got everyone on their feet dancing. You get them for 30 mins but it felt like they were with us for much longer and they spent time with everyone for photos. So much fun!!!!!!!

Major Domo: 10/10
We didn't actually use Major Domo in our ceremony as we had a best man and a ring bearer and didn't want them to feel redundant. Instead we had him as MC at our reception. He was one of the things my mom said she was so glad we had as he made everything flow really easy and no one had to worry about annoucing things like dinner being served etc. Great fun.

Ted - Caricaturist - 9/10
The ONLY reason I'm not giving Ted 10 out of 10 is simply because everyone didn't manage to get the picture drawn and these were going to be our favours (my parents didn't get one in time and were sooooo disappointed). Everyone who got one though loved them and he was a really nice guy, just restricted on time. Very talented guy :)

Landau Coach - 10/10
I felt like Kate Middleton in the coach! LOL! We had to have the roof up on the coach (which I was a tad sad about as it looks so pretty with it down). It was a really sunny day and it was noon so I think it would have been really hot with it down, plus it was quite breezy, so I can see why it needed to be up. I still felt like a Princess regardless :goodvibes

Pastor Kirk Bane - 9/10
My friend (a past Dis Bride) recommended Pastor Kirk as he had to step in for her wedding when her officiant fell ill the day before :scared1: He's a lovely guy, infact we are friends on Facebook now! The only reason I'm not giving full marks is he was sometimes a little hard to get hold of and disappeared super quick after the ceremony! Still recommend him as he is super nice.

Fireworks Cruise: 10/10
Just amazing. The perfect end to our day. Our guests still talk about it now.

Staff at the GF: 10/10
Super nice and helpful, nothing was too much for them.

Food and Drink :10/10
Delicious!!!!!!!! Loved the cheese pototo gratin, so yummy! Everything was fabulous, there was just sooooooo much of it.

Cake : 10/10
Exactly what we asked for, so couldn't have asked for more.

Wedding Pavilion : 10/10
Beautiful and just perfect. The construction boards I fretted about so much in the run up to the wedding?.........I didn't even notice them on the day!

Whitehall Room & Patio :10/10
Picturesque, peaceful...perfect :) The patio was ideal for our reception and it was lovely seeing the castle

Sago Cay: DP :10/10
Again, just lovely. Loved the fact that we could see the castle from all of our locations :lovestruc

So there you have it! Finally! As you can see I was pretty much thrilled with everything from our wedding day. I seriously believe we couldn't have asked for more. My life long dream as a little girl literally came true that day, the sun beamed down, everyone had a fabulous time, we were all so happy and I married my best friend in the whole world surrounded by the people I love the most....it doesn't really get better than that does it?

If anyone has any other questions please just let me know. Will hopefully get round to more of the whole trip. Thanks for reading,
Nat xxxx
 
Natalie,

Looks like you had some awesome vendors. I know from the pictures and video that you had a fabulous day.

Sorry about Jason and that you didn't get all the photos that you wanted. That stinks. Are you doing an anniversary shoot when you go this fall?

Happy 5th month anniversary!! :cool1:

Thanks Beth! Can't believe it's 5 months already.

We're thinking of doing an anniversary shoot with Regina and we also have our MK shoot :) It's ok about Jason, I don't want to put people off him, I still think he did a great job and is a great photographer, I'm just a bit sad we missed a few shots. Like i said, maybe we should have listed things. We still got some really great ones from the day, I just get a teeny bit bummed out when I see some gorgeous shots around the WP etc that we didn't get.
 
Great reviews :thumbsup2. By the way, who does Ted work for? Did u hire him thru Disney or outside vendors?

Thank you! We booked Ted direct through Disney :) I just emailed my planner about a caricaturist and she arranged it for us. Those of us who got pics loved them, he really captured everyone's personalities well :thumbsup2
 
I just read your whole PJ!! :laughing: BEAUTIFUL pics! :love: another question :rolleyes1 did u rent the yacht that holds 18 guests or separate boats??

Awwww thanks! :goodvibes I soooooo wanted the Grand 1 but there was too many of us, so we rented three pontoon boats instead and it was great. We got engaged after Wishes, so it was the perfect end to the day :lovestruc
