Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

FH and I got to talking about pictures and who would be in them and where. Where are all of you having your wedding photos taken? At the reception hall or on the golf course, or in front of the building, etc.? Let me know your thoughts!

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Since FI is a crazy golfer, we are hoping to do pic's on the course before ceremony.
Since you girls are being so helpful, I have another question..... I've been working with Scott, and he never mentioned different packages. I checked my receipt, and apparently, we have the Royal package. Does anyone know what the differences are b/c I checked the website and couldn't find anything to help. This place just keeps getting better for me
Thanks in advance for your help yet again!!!

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

I have been to weddings at bcc a few times, and many functions held there... congrats, you have a great place

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Hi guys,

Decorating the chairs - the chair cover (linen)with sash...I am having a block on what it is called.
I am having pictures by the gazebo and then on the golf course (I think they have a certain spot where they set up). I personally do not think the front of the hall is pretty for pictures. You could always take pictures on the stairs when you first walk in too.

I have the Fantasy Package. This is a little more money, but it includes 3 extra dishes at cocktail hour, ice sculpture, cold seafood bar (clams, oyters, mussels and shrimp), the meat is upgraded to filet mignon, and some other extras.

Did any of you Brentwood brides go to the showcase this past November 2005?

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Thanks Nicole too, I appreciate it!!

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

FH and I are looking around to see where to register. Where are you girls going?

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

We registered for most things at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and Fortunoff. And since we couldn't find any nice glassware at either of those spots, we registered for them at Crate and Barrel. Have Fun!

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Have any of you used Macy's? Or have you heard from other brides good/bad things?

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

I am getting married there also 6/24/06 7-1am. I already picked out the invitations and they came within a few days, no problems thank goodness. I met with the DJ company yesturday from Xtreme Sounds DJ. I was unaware that they changed DJ's. This DJ told me that they started there in September. I was glad to hear this..... I went to two weddings last year befor the change and the DJ was horrible.

I am having a difficult time picking a cake though. I did not like any in the book they show. Does anyone has any suggestions where i can look? The BCC told me that i can bring a picture to the bakery and they will make me the cake within reason...

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Hey guys..
..just wanted to let you know last night went relatively painless...lol. No really, there were a lot of invitations and cakes to choose from (which can get a little overwhelming) but ask to see the cake in the blue photoalbum.. It was beautiful and we just changed it up a bit with purple flowers instead of white. We still have to call the vendors, so hopefully they'll be good as well. ( I am such a music person I hope the DJ is great. I know thats where I will so turn in to a Bridezilla lol!)
Remember though, it's YOUR wedding. My parents and sister wanted to come with us, and though I love them dearly, I found myself trying to make everyone happy.
Last, but not least, if you can afford it, the Fantasy package was about 2800 more, but had a few neat extras (ice scupture, raw fish bar during cocktail hour, vianese table,etc.) It's worth looking in to.

Goodluck!

I had the same problem, I didn't like anything they showed me. My FH and I went to the bakery on Saturday, and they were excellent. They could change the cake type, the frosting type and color. It is a little bit extra money, but they are willing to do whatever I want! And she offered to do the tasting right then, even though we had no appointment. Everything was delicious. We were very happy!
Now I hope the florist is as easy!!

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

I think the bakery is near in Brentwood on Suffolk Ave. I am not sure of the address or the name. Does any one else know?

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

any suggestions as to the cake, or what to avoid

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Hi Ladies....

I had my reception at the BCC last March and we chose to go with an outside DJ. and now the DJ we went with is the house DJ for the BCC so you will have no problems with them

I guess the workers at the BCC liked our DJ so much, they decided to have them as their house dj.

Good luck ladies...

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

I love this trail of emails...
Like Cheri said previously the upgraded package is definitely worth it and affordable.
I have an appt for March 4 to meet with the florist. Then, I am going to go to the bakery. I wanted to be sure of the colors that I was using in the bo-k's to match the cake. I think I am going to try to bring pictures..we'll see.
What invites did you guys use. I looked online and liked T3101, T3137 and T3388, but we'll see when I go there in person.
I am taking off this Monday and registering, definitely at Bed Bath and Beyond. I was going to register at Fortunoffs for their china, but the china i like is at Bed Bath and Beyond and my guests could use the 20% coupons. At least I could register there for now.
I like the DJ too when I met them at the Noc'05 showcase. Were any of you there for that one?
Talk to you soon....

Re: Brentwood Country Club BRIDES

Who was your DJ (if you had a choice)? Would you recommend them and why? I've only heard them via their web site and have not been to a show at BCC since Jan 05, so I only know the old DJ company. My FH and I are curious on this since music is an important part of how the party plays along during the day. TIA!

I think the old DJ was called DJ PRo's or something similar to that. When we went to a showcase and met with them, we weren't impressed with the representative and decided to go on our own with an outside DJ. 1 of my bridesmaids used X-treme sounds DJ for her wedding a year prior to mine and we were really impressed with them. It's family run, Very convenient and they were always willing to help with picking music. THey took their time helping us go thru our music list.
ON the day of our wedding, they showed up extra early to set up (because they NEVER played at the BCC before) verified all info prior to people arriving for the reception and kept the dance floor packed the entire night.
The MC did a great job at getting people out on the dance floor. At the end of our reception, numerous people asked them and us for either their business cards or phone #.
They must of left a lasting impression because the BCC called them after my wedding and now they are the house DJ so....

If you have any other specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask. All in all, I think you will have a great experience with them and the BCC all together.


good luck planning
