Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

When I looked there, Lou told me it was 20$ pp. for vienese hour.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Don't listen to that. I went their for their new years party, and everything was great. One of their house djs were good, the ceaser salad was delicious. I would have booked there to but I didn't love the room (I'm having too many people for the downstairs dance floor or the upstairs room).

Oh well...

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

$20pp... sounds like a lot! I wonder how it compares to other places

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

FINALLY a thread dedicated to CLM brides I am so excited the place is fabolous and for the price you can't beat it. We recently booked like two weeks ago.

Lou told us that the all renovations would not be done until April 2005 so Kra5huburn please be aware of this for your Chapel I hope everything works out for you.

I went to the food tasting last week the food was delicious espically the Salmon and the Stuffed Shrimp I am a seafood lover and my Fiance isn't so he will have the Cheatu Briand.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Glad to see mostly good reviews so far.

I keep meaning to call Nick and see when the next tasting is...FH already went to one before we booked, but would love to bring our parents to one. Anyone know when it is?

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I have no idea when the next tasting is... I'd love to back to another with a few close friends, but then again, it would be nice for them to be surprised when the wedding comes!

Yay! Another CLM bride!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I believe we were told food tastings were every other Wednesday. But then again, we were told lots of things that haven't been true. I'm very, very, very upset with CLM. I'm going next week...I hope my next post is a better one.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I hope so too! I have to say so far I've been happy and I hope everything works out for you!!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I saw two more new CLM people on the BHB boards... yay! :)

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

The next food tasting is this Wednesday, July 7. FH and I are going, if anyone else is. We're easy to recognize....he's the guy on crutches!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Aw! LOL... I would love to go to another but at the same time I'd feel kinda funny :) If you've never been there before you will LOVE it! I want to say I remember you mentioning one of you had been there but not the other... am I wrong??

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

No, we both went and brought the parents before we booked. It just happened that I said we wanted to come in and speak with them on Wednesday and Nick said there was a food tasting, so why don't we come and have dinner. Sure, why not!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Good luck! I hope everything works out... let me know...

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

OK, so we went to CLM last night for the food tasting. All I can say is, delicious! I pray that the food is exactly the same quality on the wedding day because everything was great. They brought out a huge tray for just the two of us--we have leftovers for 2 weeks. This was not our first food tasting, but it was nice to experience again.
Now, the biggie--the chapel. A little history: when we booked in October, Nick and George would not put the new chapel into our contract because they did not have all the permits yet. The last 3 times I've gone to leave deposits, I've gotten a different story from Nick. The last story, was that everything would be done in June. Well it's not. George told us the new bridal suite and the chapel would be done by the end of the year. He readily agreed to add it to our contract and if it wasn't done, we'd get full Vieneese hour for free. They were very nice an amenable to the whole thing. The one thing that did tick me off a bit was Nick's continual denial that he ever told me that it would be done in June. But, my mind is now at at ease.

Extra Info if anyone needs:
CLM is now doing the chocolate fountain! $750 flat fee.
CLM only has white linens. If you would like something else, they recommend Chair Covers and Linens (out of state and ships to them) and The Finishing Touch.
If you need an officiant, they recommend Rev. Michael Callahan (a vendor on here)
For those that asked, Vieneese is $15pp (I don't know if the price is different seasonally-a winter wedding does make things cheaper sometimes).

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I'm glad that the tasting was so good! I'm also glad things seem to be working out with the chapel, and at least you have some kind of promise from them if for any reason it isnt done. The other rooms there are beutiful so it couldn't be TOO bad of a thing!

I'm SO glad to hear they have a chocolate fountain... Seriously may have to consider adding that! Vienese would be great but a little too much pp if you ask me :)

Thanks for sharing all the info! :)

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I saw a bunch of CLM people on the new reception thread... Where is everyone? Just a few of us ever chat here! Let's get this thread loooooooooong!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

We're going tomorrow to make a payment... gonna bring my camera again to get pix of the deck... also going to try to catch Nick, cuz we have a few questions for him.

Anyone want me to get any info?

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Good luck with everything I really don't have any questions for you to ask them right now I guess because I have so long to go until my wedding August '05. But I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow.

I have loner than you! LOL... I just think of things and I want to know the answers right away... figured I might as well ask as I hand them MORE money!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Oh wow your right your wedding is in November. Don't mind me it just seems like I have so much time to go before the actual day. And everybody's favorite line is 'It will fly by so fast.' But to me it still seems so far away.
