YAI!!! Another Southampton bride!! I am so outnumbered with these Estate girls (but I still love you girls!! )!!! Congrats!!!

Hi Ladies!! Two Questions:

1- Are any of you taking pics nearby? If so, where?

2- For girls who are having their ceremony at the Estate, what are you doing for an indoor alternative? My mom called and they don't provide you with an indoor arbor, so hw do you plan to decorate? I am concerned, because if I am planning on having the ceremoy outdoors, then I will not have ordered flowers, etc...

I did not reserve rooms at the inn for my wedding day b/c I felt they were too expensive and did not want to hold the rooms on my credit card just in case! Now people are saying that they wanted to stay at the inn and all the rooms are booked for my day already!! Crazy! So girls, block out your rooms early!! Good thing I blocked rooms at the Best western and the Hampton inn!

we booked rooms for my parents and his parents and grandparents and we werent going to block rooms cause we thought they were too $$$ too but then people were saying they wanted to stay there...sOOOOO my mom blocked the rooms and we are up to 11 so far...we also blocked at best western! I couldnt believe that months ago i went to book the ambassador suite and it was booked...oh well!

how much time do you have in between ceremony and reception

My church will be over by 4..and my CH is @ 7

My photographer said we have more than enough time..esp since we pass all these places along the way!!!!

We'll probably get back to east wind around 6-630 for the final pics...

sounds good, i would like to be able to do the same

church begins at 245 in smithtown it is a mass
and then cocktail hour begins at 7pm
but it is 4th of july weekend so we may hit some traffic i dont think we will have as much time... i dont know! but i would like to do the same and i dont want to miss cocktail hour either hmmmm

SPeak to your photographer...

Mine told me that you really dont spend as long as one would think at the photo site... if everyone cooperates it goes pretty quickly....

How long do you think the mass will be...an hour?????

Plus you can skip the pumpkin patch...they're isnt going to be any pumpkins in july...hehe

Thanks! I just called to block rooms, but was transferred into someone's voicemail. What's the deal with booking a block? We have to leave a 50% deposit, but do we get it back? I mean, no offense to my guests, but I wasn't planning on paying for half of their room!
Plus, if we only block 10 rooms, but need more, then what? And if we book more rooms (let's say 13), but only have a need for 10 rooms in the end, will we get the $ back?
