Okay-so there aren't too many of us, but still we seem to be gaining some ground. I know when I first got on here there were almost no other Atlantica brides and it was a little discouraging. So-I thought we should give this a try.

I have my tasting this weekend! My wedding is not until April but they are closing for renovations until sometime late Feb/early March so we have to do it now.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone else heard yet; they are planning an 'open house' event for all couples booked for '06. The event is supposed to take place in March and we'll get to taste everything again. They are sending out a mailing soon.

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

I am seriously considering Atlantica. I spoke to Kristie and she was very sweet but my catering a manager would be Lisa. She seems easygoing too - has anyone worked with her?

I've been working with Lisa. She has been great so far!

We had our tasting 2 weeks ago and it was so much fun. You girls will love it. We had leftovers for days and were so stuffed. The appetizers were such a difficult decision.

Kristy is so helpful and so nice.

What are your thoughts on the viennese and choc fountain? worth it? not necessary?

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

I am doing Viennese but am skipping the chocolate fountain. I did want to have dessert but I don't want to the party/band to stop for it. Everyone will get in sleep mode very quickly!

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

So, I booked Atlantica - so excited! Now I am dealing with hotels. I am doing the Best Western in Riverhead because it's a less expensive option, but am not sure what to go with in westhampton area. I may block either the Inn at Quogue or the Dune Deck hotel. Neither have transportation for guests though. Any feedback on what others are doing would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

I researched this a lot and did not find too many great options. We ended up booking some rooms on-site (WH Bath & Tennis), a few at the Best Western but most at the new Holiday Inn in Riverhead. It is close to the Best Western but nicer and newer. You might want to take a look. One other thing...the Westhampton Bath and Tennis does not block rooms. your guests will have to call very early if they want to stay here. Hope that helps.

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

Thank you, that does help. Did you provide transportation? The Best Western has a shuttle but they only provide for half the people so we would have to pay for the other half. I know it's not a requirement to provide transportation for guests anyway, but I want to look into it since it would make it easy for everyone. Also, do you know the rates for the holiday inn? I have a quote for $189 for the best western.

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

I also blocked rooms at the Holiday Inn Express and my quote was cheaper than $189. I would definitely go there. It's newer and nicer IMO.
I don't live in the Hamptons so I am going to provide transportation for my guests along with the one shuttle that the hotel provides.
FM if you need more info.

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

My quote for the Holiday Inn on a Sat in Sept was $189 also. I would contact them asap if you are interested as they block fast. They have the same shuttle policy as the Best Western I believe. They will provide a 14 passenger van. We got transportation in addition for our guests (North Fork Trolley). Hope that helps but feel free to let me know if I can help with anything else.

Re: Official Atlantica Thread

Hi Atlantica Brides...Just wondering what everyone is doing for reception music. I am undecided between a band or a dj. Does anyone know of any good band/dj combos?
