Ladies, did you just get the letter in the mail re: sending cancelled checks, receipts, etc? B/c apparently they changed their accountant?

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I would be so not happy about that. They should have records of payments right???

Why should you go out of your way to search for things to send them? You did your part and paid them!

I would be upset because I an unorganized and what if I couldnt find a receipt??

YES!!! Why wouldn't they have all that stuff... even if they are switching accountants?! My mom thinks they had a big computer problem and could have lost information... which I hope isn't true. We don't have cancelled checks but if worse comes to worse we can print out our bank statements. It's just annoying...

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

I have the little receipts they handed me because I usually paid in person and sometimes they noted it right on my contract. But I didn't get any letters from them. Strange. They shouldn't ask us to do that. They should keep their own records.

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

We had paid all in cash so I just have the receipts they gave us...it does sound very strange, just wanted to be sure everyone got the letter.

My FH just said maybe all the contracts got junked during the floods that time. I think they did store the contracts downstairs.....something to consider.....

I just got the letter in the mail yesterday.
Does sound like something like that happened. They are asking for all records of payment without saying they lost all records of payment. Anyway, I don't have the cancelled checks, but I have the signed contract and receipts so I'll send that along.

Nick said they got a new accounting firm and they are asking for proof of everything to match up the customers records with CLM. He said its a formality and its no big deal, to call if you have any questions...

There was no flooding inside-- everything is as beautiful as ever!!

One more week!!!

Re: Chateau la Mer Thread

Ladies, I have to start calling hotels to block rooms for my OOT guests and for my wedding night for me and FH. Which hotel did you ladies go with? From my initial research, it looks like the closest hotels are the Holiday Inn Express in Hauppauge, Marriott Melville, Hilton in Huntington, and Best Western in Massapequa. Is there a hotel I'm missing? Any of these good or bad in your experience?

Hey Guys!!!

Hate to just barge in, but I just became part of this chat thing and think I have found the girls I am looking for! I am not booked yet, but I have looked and looked and I really love CLM. I fly into NY this Wednesday(I live in New Mexico) and am going to CLM's tasting that night If everything is fabulous, which I am sure it is, I'm a booking!!!

I am excited to see how your weddings turn out!!!

Best of luck to all of you, and hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you gals!

Thanks!!! Our photographer is The Velvet Studio. Bob will probably be there at the tasting (he was at ours) b/c he is a preferred vendor of CLM, so you can look through his work!

You're going to LOVE the food tasting!! That definitely sealed the deal for us, plus the fact that it's so beautiful there!
