So in the cutest moment today my FH and I took a ten minute detour home today and stopped by the NRC. There was no one there. We got out of the car and walked around the outdoor area (Id never seen the outdoor area in bloom - horrible winter night when I 1st went). It was so beautiful and we got to steal some sweet kisses while daydreaming of our wedding :) Well anyways we peeked through the glass doors into the CH room and they changed the carpets to match the dining room. It took me off guard and I have to admit Im a bit so-so about it. I liked the old carpet -- it was a soft blue if I recall. Either way I felt it kept the room open and airy which I liked for the CH and then the more formal carpet gave a more formal feeling when its time for the dinner reception. Dont get me wrong the NRC is beautiful and the changes they con't to make have brought the place to a new level. I'm just a bit disappointed. I had a picture in my mind how it would all be. I think i'm going to try and stop by this week and check it out from the inside. Now I'm getting petty (FH thinks I am already for complaining about the carpet - maybe I am???) but all these changes as I mentioned above are amazing BUT the NRC never mentioned any thing and I did question them when I was there 2x. Im being silly I know but you book a place thinking it looks one way and month by month changes are occuring (better or worse) it changes what i was sold on and no one from NRC mentions a thing about it. AHHH!!!

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
OK maybe i was blind the day i was there or distracted by the fact that the NRC was giving me 'that feeling' which took me way off guard! I was in tears b/c so much became real that day. ANYWAY - I just came across a post from like a yr ago about the carpets!!! I'm out of my mind - Ive been sick all week and on antibiotics - not an excuse but my mind is trippin!!! Sorry to freak anyone out.

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
the carpet in both rooms & the stair case was changed prior to my wedding in november
i was honestly, not a fan of the new carpet in the ballroom though
but as everyone i know pointed out to me before my wedding, if your guests are noticing (and remembering) the carpets ... there's a lot of other things that went wrong before that!
most guests will remember how much you 2 are in love, the food, the entertainment, the service loooong before they remember the carpets.

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
I think the updates the NRC made are great!! They've added details that make the place look very elegant, even more-so then before. Is the carpet really a huge deal? To be honest, I don't think I even noticed what it looked like! lol No one will even notice and on the day of, I don't think you'll be thinking about the carpets either! I do agree with you that they should have let everyone know of their plans, but the changes they made weren't that major.

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
Please, no one notices the carpets.
As Jess mentioned, if your guests notice, then something else is seriously lacking, and at NRC, that will definitely NOT happen.

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
Hey ladies!!! I'm so sorry again for causing so much mishap! The carpets are the deep red/maroon - gold carpets in both rooms. Like I said my head has not been right being sick and on meds. Beyond the wedding many family matters have consumed my brain. Sunday's excursion to the NRC was partly b/cI felt all the distractions in recent months have made me lose touch with the wedding almost all together. Hope you understand and i'm sorry again!!! I LOVE NRC AND CAN NOT WAIT FOR JULY 11, 2009!!!

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
they DID change the front entrance (much much nicer!!!) and added some beautiful crown moulding inside the skylight area -- both look beautiful
they also patched the torn carpet area on the bride/groom table's platform
i'll check for any other new changes tonight

Re: New Carpet CH North Ritz Club
OK Im completely confused. I was there last week and didn't see anything different, or maybe I don't notice these things.. I know the front entrance is new, which I love! But the carpet??? So which one is it???

The OLD carpet in the CH room was blue.
The CURRENT carpet in the CH room is burgundy/gold, and was updated last FALL. Its not a recent change.
