Hello! I got engaged before Thanksgiving but just began official wedding planning this week. I have read some topics on the site before as a bridesmaid helping my friends, but it is weird to be to actually be posting here - for MY wedding!
I am leaning toward a March 2008 wedding - quite possibly the 15th - and hoping to book a hall on the water. I think that to get the most out of a waterview in March I would prefer a daytime wedding, and then I would throw some sort of after party for our friends and anyone else interested in extending the celebration, but I keep getting negative comments from friends about daytime weddings and it is bringing me down.
So far I have been to see Lombardi's on the Sound, which I loved, and am going to see Huntington Harbor Club and Chateau la Mer. Any other hall recommendations or tips for a daytime wedding and/or dealing with negative comments would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats and Welcome. If you want a water view, you can also check out the Bridgeview Yacht Club. I love that place - hopefully I can do my wedding there - ask for Kathy.

Congrats and welcome! Check out Chateau La Mer. It's beautiful.
Congrats and welcome!!! This site has been so helpful with planning my wedding. I don't know where I would be without it. I hope it helps you too! As for wanting a day wedding...do what makes you happy. After all, it's your day and the people who really want to be there to celebrate with you will be there regardless of the time of day.
