Fall Weddings 2008

Of course, in New Jersey, anything after Labor Day is fall. Summer's over, not officially of course, but in our minds. So this fall we've been to some great venues and worked with some great vendors. That's one of the advantages of having a wedding planner. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. We will recommend the good, like photographer Jacqueline Pfeffer and videographer Edward Zilberman, Entemanns Florist in Secaucus and Gig Morris Florist in Belmar. The beautiful Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club on the ocean in Spring Lake, The Wilshire Grand in West Orange or trendy Studio 450 in Manhattan. The bad will go unnamed, like the band that drank all night and didn't know any of the songs on the bride's play list, or the florist who delivered half a flower order. By the way, we did not recommend that band, in fact, we tried to persuade the couple not to hire them. Some couples do not take the advice of their wedding planner. Some couples already have their vendors when they hire us. Sometimes you have to work with what you have. We've seen it all.
