Gary was a wonderful addition to our wedding day.  The music was phenomenal, his ensemble was authentic, and everyone really enjoyed having the Scottish bagpipes played at our ceremony...including us!

I began my coordination with Gary by emailing him to find out his price and to see if he was available to play at our wedding on November 1st.  Gary responded in a very timely manner and was extremely patient while he waited for our final decision.  We were so happy he was still available when we were absolutely sure we wanted to added this element to our special day!

The arrangement was such that he would arrive about a 1/2 hour before the ceremony official started and would play a selection of music while the guests arrived at the church.  He would also come into the church and get us from up at the altar after we the ceremony was over and would escort us down the aisle, while playing "Murdo's Wedding".  And lastly, he would play another selection of songs while we greeted our guests in the receiving line.

Gary was fantastic!  We were absolutely thrilled and our guests loved the special touch just as much as we did!  Thanks Gary!  

Wedding Vendor Review #1 - Newtown Floral Company

   
I would start off my blog with reviews of the vendors I used for my wedding on November 1, 2008! This is the first in a series of....hmmm, we'll just have to see how many I guess.

About a month before my wedding, I decided to visit the Newtown Floral Companyin Newtown, Pennsylvania to see what services and products they had to offer. They are located at at in a small shopping center made up of little offices.

When I entered the establishment, I was promptly greeted by the owner of the company who did a fantastic job of asking me just what I was looking for, what the occasion was, what date I would need the flowers by, etc. It was a very pleasant conversation and she seemed very knowledgeable in her profession.

I finally settled on a combination of white, red and orange roses for my bouquet - red and orange roses for my mother (who was the Matron of Honor in my wedding), red roses for my future mother-in-law, a white rose for my fiancee and red roses for my father, stepfather, and future father-in-law (who was my fiance's Best Man).

The customer service was wonderful, the flowers were absolutely beautiful and the price was right! I would highly recommend the Newtown Floral Company for all of your floral needs. I know I will be going back again!
