Success!

Last night's showcase was great!  We want to thank Tom from Stuart Thomas Manor for allowing us to be part of it.  We met some great couples and very excited young ladies who will be celebrating their Sweet 16's soon.  We also met some great new vendors to build up new relationships with.  Here's a pic of our table!





Now we prepare for a VERY busy weekend!  We've got back to back weddings and are super excited for both of them!

Half-Way There!

We said October was a busy month for us and we weren't joking!  Wedding number two of the month was more than successful last night!  Our wonderful DIY bride Michelle was beautiful as ever with her handsome husband Anthony.  From setting up pew bows, altar pieces, and escort cards to decorating their hotel room and bustling her dress, Laura and Shauna now know the layout of the East Wind Estate like their own homes!  

It began by Laura picking up an excited and anxious father of the bride and taking him to see his little girl getting ready.  From then it was go-time.  The bridal party's bags were loaded into the car, instructions were given, flowers were delivered.  Then we head over to church to set up the two gorgeous altar pieces and 20 pew bows all created by lovely the mother of the bride!  Anthony and his groomsmen arrived and it was time to pin their boutonnières on, and just in time before Michelle and her bridesmaids arrived.






It was a beautiful mass, and all the while, Shauna was at the East Wind Estate checking Michelle, Anthony, and their families into their hotel rooms.  Then it was time to set up the escort cards, cardbox, and all of the details to make Michelle and Anthony's wedding theirs.  As the bridal party arrived at the East Wind, their luggage was brought in, and they began their long afternoon of picture taking.  All the while, the pew bows and altar pieces from church were being brought in and set up around the mansion to bring that extra little something over.







Michelle and Anthony were floored when they saw what their cocktail hour are and ballroom looked like.  They couldn't have been more grateful to have AMDA with them last night, and we couldn't have had more fun working with them.  We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon and wish you both nothing but the best!







So now we begin preparing for our Halloween weekend weddings!  But first, don't forget to come see us at the Stuart Thomas Manor in Farmingdale on October 26th for their Party Showcase!  We've got a great deal going on for people who book at the show.  In addition, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, AMDA is donating 10% of the TOTAL contract cost of any October bookings to Breast Cancer Research. Contact us today to set up your free no obligation meeting. We can all work together to make a difference.

What a Wonderful Evening!

We had such a wonderful time working with Barbara and Tony and the staff at the North Ritz Club last night.  The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the food outrageous, and the staff was so accommodating.  From the minute we walked into their hotel rooms at the Residence Inn, Barbara and Tony were nothing but wonderful to us.  Such an easygoing couple to work with, they made our job a breeze last night.  When we got to the North Ritz Club, George and Monica were there awaiting our arrival.  They even remembered Laura, who got married there just four months ago, which made working with them so much more fun.  They gave us full reign of the hall and we all worked as such a great team together, making Barbara and Tony's day flawless.
Thank you again Barbara and Tony for letting us be part of your big day!








Now we move onto wedding number 2 in October, our DIY bride Michelle and her soon-to-be-hubby, Anthony!  We're also continuing to prepare for our exhibit at the Stuart Thomas Manor on 10/26......and remember, BIG NEWS coming real soon!

Getting Ready for a Busy Month!

Our busiest month this year is finally upon us.  This October, AMDA is honored to be the official day-of coordinators for four amazing couples.  We start out with Barbara and Tony on 10/10 who have been two of our biggest supporters from day one.  It's going to be great to be back at the North Ritz Club, and maybe this time, Laura will actually get to eat the food there!  The following week, we get to work with one of our most creative DIY brides, Michelle, and her soon-to-be-hubby, Anthony, on 10/16 at the East Wind Caterers.  Then we rest for a week and prepare for our two Halloween weekend couples, Rebecca and Stephen on 10/30 at the Venetian Yacht Club, and Selena and Jin on Halloween day at the Crest Hollow Country Club.  We're looking forward to see what surprises these two couples have in store!

Of course, in the midst of it all, we'll also be presenting at our very first showcase at the Stuart Thomas Manor in Farmingdale on October 26th!  We've got our brochures, magnets, and banner all ready to go and are so excited to make our debut.  If you're free, come on down and say hi!
