I LOVE Lou. I'm from Brooklyn, and he grew up here and we clicked instantly. And then, he and my grandma sat back and talked about the glory days of Brooklyn for a half hour

my probelm with lou was this when i went to book i asked several times if there was more than on wedding going on at a time and he told me no thats not possible since they only have on cocktail room ... i know there would be one in the afternoon and i was fine with that ... well after i made the depsoit i found out that they have 2 wedding at a time but there an hour and half apart and i was not happy about that because i wanted a place that had only one wedding there at a time ... so i dealt with Nick about this whole thing cause i was debating about canelling there ... but i didnt and now i deal with nick ... but i hear lou is great too ...

Wow, that *****! Maybe no one will book on your day, or maybe they will book a different kind of party and not a wedding. That is what I am hoping for

Re: CLM brides- Maitre'd tipping

my hall and date twin is an LIW bride and i am pretty sure her cocktail hour starts at 7:30 ...maybe its 7..............

No, I think they can be going on at the same time, but the start times are scattered so you have the cocktail room to yourself

no i mean 2 at the same time your starts at 1:30 then the other one will probably start at 12 they staggered them by an hour and half i was told ... so my wedding starts at 6:30 in the downstarids room ... then there could be anotther party upstaris that started at 5:00 .. though i am not sure how this will work if there is a party going on in the afternoon the maybe there will only be one party that night ... i am not sure exactly but all i know is that 2 weddign can be happening at the same time ...

Re: CLM brides- Maitre'd tipping
