[All the Details]


Church
Our ceremony was held at the Immaculate Conception Chapel at Seton Hall University. We had a traditional Roman Catholic Nuptial Mass. Click here to see some photos of the exterior and interior of the Chapel.



Reception
Our reception was held at the Somerset Hills Hotel in Warren, New Jersey. It is a gorgeous hotel with a great reputation for gourmet food. The banquet/catering manager, Steve Benyo, was phenomenal and tended to every detail, making sure everything was perfect for our special day.


Cake
Our wedding cake was provided by the Somerset Hills Hotel bakery. Click here to see a photo of our cake.


Florist
Our flowers were done by the Bedminster Florist in Bedminster, New Jersey. The flowers were gorgeous and looked beautiful at the ceremony and the reception. Click here to see photos of our flowers.


Photographer
Our photographer was Christopher Polacco of Picture Perfect Photography in High Bridge, New Jersey. We had our formal engagement sitting in early October 1999 at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club - out on the golf course at sunset. Click here to check out our engagement sitting proofs. Chris was amazing on our wedding day, and stuck it out despite a nasty flu bug that had just "bitten" him. His assistant Valerie was awesome too and kept us smiling for our formal poses. We received our formal proofs about three weeks after the wedding and had an agonizing time chosing which ones would go in our album. Chris's work is absolutely wonderful.

DJ
Our DJ was Mike Pantina from Total Sound Entertainment in Navesink, New Jersey. We cannot say enough good things about Mike! Thanks to Mike and his assistant Rosalie, our wedding was a blast. He was an incredible DJ. He was high energy and so much fun. He had our guests on the dance floor all night long. We let Mike chose all the music, except for the special selections, including "I Could Not Ask For More" by Edwin McCain for our first dance, "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle for Pam's dance with her Dad, "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler for Gabe's dance wth his Mom, and "I Turn to You" by Christina Aguilera for Gabe's dance with his sister. Thanks, Mike, for an amazing party!


Videographer
Our Videography was handled by Still Video Productions in Hazlet, New Jersey. Steve Susino, the owner, and his assistant captured all 10 hours of our amazing day. Our finished video includes a montage of baby pictures of the two of us, shots from the whole ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and flashback of the whole day. It came out great and is a wonderful way for us to relive our Wedding Day.


Dresses
Pam's bridal gown and the Bridesmaids' Dresses were purchased at Hollywood Bridals in Union, New Jersey. The shop owners (Josephine and Maria) are wonderful and our free alterations had our dresses fitting perfectly.


Invitations
We ordered our invitations from Truly Yours in Maplewood, New Jersey. Click here to see a scan of our invitations and other stationery items, such as personalized napkins and matchboxes. Truly Yours also did the calligraphy addressing for our invitations using their calligraphy machine.


Rings
Pam's Engagement Ring was purchased from Bentley Jewelers in Belle Mead, New Jersey. Kevin, the owner, worked with Gabe to custom design Pam's ring. We also bought our wedding bands at Bentley's. Click here to see photos of all the rings.


Tuxedos
We used Barry's Tuxedos in Passaic, New Jersey to rent our tuxedos. They delivered and picked up the tuxes from our house for the wedding.


Limousines
We booked our limousines with Limos Unlimited in Gilette, New Jersey. We had three white, ten passenger stretch Lincolns for ourselves, our bridal party and our parents. The cars were beautiful and stocked with water, sodas and, of course, champagne.


Favors
Our favors were personalized splits of wine from The Tomasello Winery based in Hammonton, New Jersey. We gave a choice of white "French Columbard" and a white zinfandel "Blush" to our guests. To see a scan of our custom designed labels, click here.
