Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Yea I will have to call and find out when the next one after that is.

Im so mad.. he is in the marines and is getting out in august and now I have to deal with business trips instead of deployments!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I believe they have tastings every other Wednesday or something like that.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I am getting very excited. I think it'll feel very real when we go on the 5th for the menu and we're sitting in the room eating. It'll be exactly one month before!!!

Well, unfortunately, it looks like the chapel will not be done for our wedding
It is very disappointing, but Nick and George have been great about everything and been very generous so far in compensation. I'm sure Nick can't wait for the wedding to be over...I call so much he says he knows it's me now without my even saying

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Luckily, being in the winter, there is no other party there that night and we can use the upstairs room as our chapel. Originally this wasn't a very good solution because of the stairs and we have some elderly people who can't do stairs, but I think we've worked it out and they've been very good about helping us get anyone upstairs that needs help.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Yeah, we get away witha lot of things, being in the winter. We only needed a 125 guarantee for the Atrium in February. As long as theirs no blizzard, it definitely has it's advantages. If only we get a weekend like this one where it's 50 degrees!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

That's so exciting. Yay! I'll pray for good weather.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Sorry to hear about the chapel Nicole but at least there is somewhere else beautiful to have your ceremony! How far finished are they? Didn't they say they'd throw in a vienese hour if it wasn't done? I am so excited our first 05 CLM bride will be getting married soon!!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Yes, they gave us Vienese for free if the chapel wasn't done in time. The last I heard, they had all the piping and electrical work done and the glass guy was coming to put all the windows looking out onto the water in. I think the staircase guy was coming too. I'll let you know after we go on Wednesday.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Good luck!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Hi girls,
Well, the staircase wasn't even in yet, so I have no idea how far along to chapel is, but they gave us Vienese hour and the chocolate fountain, so it's all good. We finalized our menu too. If you girls were thinking of doing menu cards, I suggest you save the time and money unless you are doing something that really goes with a theme. The menu cards at CLM are really nice and will have your names on the top and there all different fonts and colors to choose from. I also suggest, when thinking about your seating arrangements and number of centerpieces, that you do not put more than 10 at a table. They say you can put 12, but it would definitely be squished!!!! All the guys at CLM are great and everyone's weddings will be wonderful!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Are the menus included now because last time we were there Nick said they could do them for a fee....

Glad everything has worked out for you-- even though the chapel isn't finished.... Our first 05 CLM bride!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

UhhOhh I hope the chapel is done in time for my Wedding Day in August

I think I am going to set an appiontment with Lou to make a payment and to dicuss some details and changes being made and I will need to know an ETA and i was really looking forward to a bigger Bridal Suite too!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I had no idea that you normally had to pay for the menu's. I guess he through them in because of the troubles. I would suggest that you get something added to the contract about compensation if the chapel isn't done. I'd like to say that in 6-7 months it should be done, but who knows. It really stinks about the bridal suite too--the upstairs one is pretty small. But I guess we really shouldn't be in there that long anyway.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Hi girls! I am a new CLM bride! And it just took me about 30 minutes to get through your whole thread! Anyway, Its great to read about everything thats going on there, because I haven't even seen the place, except for the pics on the website, my father booked the place for me because I live in VA and couldn't make it up to NY, so please keep me posted on all of the work thats going on!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

hey, by the way are any of you using hotels for your guests??? If so, what hotels are near CLM??? I know not many! My FI definately need one, otherwise we will be spending our honeymoon night at my parents house UGH!!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Congratulations and welcome!!!

There is a Holiday Inn in Hicksville I believe. When your father booked, he should have gotten a packet which has all the vendors including the hotels.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Hi! Another CLM bride here.... been reading awhile but my account was having problems!

Our date is 7-9-05 ! We picked the place just by pictures and parents/advice since we are planning from VA....but we loved it when we saw it. Jean

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Wow, that's funny that you guys wrote the same things right after each other.

Nick recomended the Huntington Hilton and the Melville Marriott (about 10mi I think) as the two closest hotels. There is another one that's closer, a Best Western on Sunrise that's only 4mi away, but it's been in various stages of expansion over the last year. Just recently did the front start looking normal as they added a pool, offices and more suites. It's right next to Caio Baby there, if anyone knows the area.
