Carlyle Brides

what hotel did you stay at for your wedding night and for your oot guest?

i know they rec. huntington hilton and melville marriott but i also know that the inn at fox hollow is so close- right off of 135... i was also thinking of garden city hotel...

just curious!

Re: Carlyle Brides

We blocked rooms at the Huntington Hilton, because someone told us the bar stays open later than the Marriott (see where our priorities are). It's reasonable, I guess, $139 per night, Marriott was a little less (maybe $129. I'm considering staying somewhere else with my FH on the wedding night since I really wasn't impressed with the Suites.
Hope that helps!

Re: Carlyle Brides

anyone else?

Re: Carlyle Brides

have been calling hotels all day. The weekend of our wedding--and yours 2005 Bride--there is a soccer tournament. You might be ok because they will be checking out on the Sunday. Anway--the Marriott is holding some rooms for us and I'm waiting to hear back from the Hilton.

The Inn at Plainview--which will be the 4 Points Sheraton also has rooms and are 5 minutes away. They don't have a shuttle but might have one by then--they are being taken over by Sheraton now. Michael there was very helpful and he is a vendor on this site.

I was going to check the Inn at Fox Hollow too. Only other one we thought of was Holiday Inn at Plainview--they were reasonable but again don't have a shuttle

Re: Carlyle Brides

Also---Carlyle is having a showcase on Thursday the 14th from 6pm on. not sure if you knew about that.

Re: Carlyle Brides

i know-- i can't wait to go to the showcase... i disappointed b/c Carlyle didnt send me anything about it.... i found out from the boards

what is it going to be like? vendors and food?

also- where is the soccer tournament?

Re: Carlyle Brides

hey i didn't know about the showcase..of course i have school and can't make it..why don't they have these things on saturday..anyway we are hoping (although i'm sure like everything else it won't work out) to stay at the hilton so that our guests can party with us after the wedding being that's its an afternoon.

Re: Carlyle Brides

i was a little annoyed they didn't call us either. My father heard it on the radio and i called to follow up on it.

i think vendors will be there. Sue-my banquet manager-said there is no charge but they will have passed food and it will be a cash bar.

I'm guessing all of the vendors they suggest will be there. It will be good to see who's there and what they have. And try the food!!

the tournament is all over Long Island--every hotel i've called has mentioned it to me. Maybe more so because i'm the Friday night.
But the Hilton had some rooms for us so I'm glad about that.

Re: Carlyle Brides

I'm going to try and reserve rooms within the next two weeks.... prob. either Melville Mariott or Inn at Fox Hollow....

Thanks for the advice re: soccer tournament.....

Re: Carlyle Brides

so i've never gotten an answer regarding the cake..i want this cake but with mostly white and a ribbon of the colors as i'm doing pastels for the wedding..do you think they are going to do it? i've heard that they show you what cake you can order but i was told by them to bring in a picture and they'll do what i ask..i hate getting different info..i hope they'll do it..

Re: Carlyle Brides

I stayed at the Marriott Mellvile- it was nice enough- we had a suite- they gave us champagne and chocolates- very cute...

we left early in the morning though so basically we 'did the deed' and passed out!!!

Re: Carlyle Brides

they told me they have a lot of pictures of the cakes but to bring in things that you want and as long as it's not a lot of additional work they can do it without charge.

the event they are having next week might be able to help answer that question.

too bad i can't go.

Re: Carlyle Brides

We stayed at the Huntington Hilton and to be completely honest, I am a bit disappointed with them. We were promised complimentary champagne and continental breakfast and did not get it.

There are new hotel(s) going up on the south service road at Round Swamp Road - I don't know when their dates of completion will be or even what hotels they will become; but it might be a consideration.

As far as the cake, I was told they will make anything, but will not do sugar flowers.

Re: Carlyle Brides

the new one is the inn at plainview that will be the four points sheraton. Michael was my contact there--very nice--and he's a newlywed!

Re: Carlyle Brides

We chose the Fairfield inn in syosset (very close and cheap) and a rRamada inn in Queens because most of our guests wanted to be closer the city and still ahev soemthing on the cheap side.
