Re: I'm thinking about a wedding on the beach

I am having a beach wedding; however, I am not getting married on the actual beach. We picked Chateau La Mer because it is gorgeous and located on the Great South Bay. That gives me the opportunity to wear a really fancy dress and the option of having the wedding inside in case of bad weather.

My favorite place for a beach wedding is Atlantica, but they do not let you get married during the summer months as they cater more to rich tourists. Gurneys might be good. (Not sure if I spelled that right.)

I liked the Venetian Yacht Club, but felt the gold decor was overkill. I also liked Crescent Beach Club, but when you go there and see how close the neighbors' houses are, you kind of cringe. The neighbor's dog ran right through there when we went to visit. I do not want someone's dog on my wedding gown!! Also, it was a little too modern looking for us. We wanted something with more of a gold coast feel.

We are doing a beach theme even though we will not really be on the sand. Afterall, Long Island is an island.

Good luck!
