I had the pleasure of working with the Beda Place as a photographer (Aquarian Photography) for Natasha & Tony's wedding on October 1st, 2011. I had a very pleasant experience working with Aparna Jaituni (the wedding coordinator) who was on top of times and keeping things going in the order that they should have. They have beautiful grounds with gorgeous photo opportunities as well as a brides studio (almost the size of my house lol) complete with about 3 full length, two 1/2 length and two wall mirrors, salon chair in front of a trifold mirror, and great windows around which allowed for natural light to pour in beautifully, but only on one half, so that the other half can be out of the sunlight . I met Andy as well, and had great conversation with him as well as witnessed him while he seamlessly worked through an ""issue"" with the father of the bride, when one of the sides that were ordered, didn't make it. He got the vendor to agree to throw in the appetizers for free, which were going to cost extra and everything worked out great. The bride and groom were so easy going and they just seemed to have the time of their lives. They were very happy with the venue and seemed quite impressed by the bridal suite as well. I do believe that this venue is a little small for the reception hall for a party of 150 or more, but I think with this last group that we had (about 90 to 100) it worked well, and the staff made sure that when everyone was done eating that they cleared out a lot of tables so that they guests could get onto dancing with a little more room. All in all, I think that the staff did an amazing job of making this day about the bride and groom and making sure that everything ran smoothly without any pressure on the bride and groom knowing that it was their day.
