Carlyle on the Green pics
Carlyle on the Green pics
We went to Carlyle by 11:06 a.m. after leaving North Ritz Club at 10:59 a.m. (I speed LOL LOL)
Carlyle was set up for a party - Gatsby style with sofas and lots of tables (different sizes).
I LOVED the ballroom but FI hated the floors (wood with no varnish). I do not like the cocktail set up - in the corridor and also inside one room. There is only the one bar for cocktail hour & the reception.
Carlyle can close off the ballroom while guests go outside (breezeway) so it's more of a grand entrance once they do enter the ballroom. I think this works better if you are not getting married at the hall though.
Oh, and the place is not wheelchair accessible. I was told that the waitstaff would carry wheelchair bound guests down to the Lenox room (or outside) for the ceremony early (before the 30 minute hospitality ends) and then lift them back out for cocktail. Not sure how that would work but there is not portable ramp.
FI also did not like the Lenox room - totally empty today and the floors could use some polish. I could picture it all decorated though (having seen the web site pics).
FI did not like the place since they seem to cater to the golfers instead of the brides. Not sure if this is true but we were told that we could not take pics in certain places and there were golfers roaming around today (which could happen during a wedding I guess).
Valets are $125 each, 1 per 100 guests.
10 hot/cold hors doeuvres
3 cocktail statons per 100 guests
September/October 2005 quotes
150 minimum
Thurs night $110 pp plus 20% service & tax
Sat/Sun afternoon $125pp++
ETA - one thing I found odd was that I cannot have my votive place cards on the credenza. I was told the guests would have to carry them around so I should put them on the tables and do paper place cards in addition to the votives.
