Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I am so glad you set this up!

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

Here's my blurb from my review of the Cottage.... its from a year and a half ago... but I still agree with everything I wrote!

Milleridge Inn- Cottage - couldn't of asked for anything better. Everyone raved about the food....even I got to sit and eat dinner which I was happy about. Our Maitre'd was Sam - who never let me or Jerry go 5 minutes without a drink or asking if we needed anything. They were very accomadating. and the dozen roses on the table looked beautiful. No complaints about anything.

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

That's great that you set this up. There never was one when I was planning. This website was such a great tool for me. Good luck to everyone!!

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

Were any of you at the showcase last month?
What did you think?

eogara Posted: May 05, 2004 08:38 AM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I was. I'm kind of nervous about the cocktail hour and it being way too crowded. I didn't really like the circular table in the middle of the room - there's no way to join the line then. What did you think?

lianemarie Posted: May 05, 2004 08:52 AM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I had the same thoughts about the circular table. My dad couldn't get into the line- nobody would let him in!

Is that how it will be set up for us?
I would rather all the stations be agains the windows.

How many guests are you having?
We are hoping to keep it around 200-220.

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

how fun! so glad there is finally a milleridge thread!
i was at the showcase (more for the free food...most of my stuff is already booked!), the circle in the middle was a mobscene, but i have been to weddings there set up like that and it seemed to work out okay!
has anyone done a tasting? when i called & asked about that, the woman who answered the phone was like 'oh, you want to do a tasting? ' like that was such an odd request!

eogara Posted: May 05, 2004 09:41 AM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I was wondering about the tasting too. What was the end result of yours - are you having one? I think they're slightly behind the times as far as the little things expected of a catering hall.

Who is your banquet manager? Are you guys guetting the 2 star or 3 star menu? Mine is Nadine (love her!) and we're doing the 2 star menu but we got them to throw in the dozen roses instead of half dozen.

kazee525 Posted: May 05, 2004 09:45 AM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

the official result was that i am supposed to call a month or 2 before the wedding, and i can schedule a tasting when i am ready to finalize the menu. we are doing the 2 star menu, and it wouldn't have mattered about the flowers b/c we totally changed the centerpieces when we met with the florist (Bob, he is SO awesome!). we are using nadine as well.

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

Eileen, thanks for postign this.
I was jsut thinking that I wanted to ask you ladies baout the 2 or 3 star menue.
I wnet with the 2 & now am worry it will look cheap or skimpy.
2 couples we are freinds with got married last year so I have this fear that both groups of our froiends are goign to be comparing everyting i do to those weddiongs.

Kristy is our banquet manager & is great.
I believe it is Nadine who has helped me when Kristy was not avaialable. She is great too.

We are not usuing the ceterpeices, we are using a different florist all togther, but Kristy said we can use the flowers elsewhere, I'm not exatly sure where though. maybe on the coctail tables, maybe on the cake.

there are a few more Milleridge reviews, I will try & find the links.

BTW- Kazee525, besides both booking the milleridge, we have the same dress.

Oh yeah, I was told we could do a tasting when did the menu-we could have done one before we booked, but I was kinda in a time crunch.

I should have gone to the showcase for the food, but its hard for me to get to LI on a weekday.

Here are a few more reviews I found:

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

Heather - thanks for posting those! I kept searching for franksbride's review but couldn't find it.

tourist Posted: May 05, 2004 11:46 AM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

No problem- Most of those weren't on the review board, so it took a little searching.

I can't wait to hear Cherylbooch's review. She posted a few ceremony pics, but none of the milleridge.

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I am trying to book the carriage house for a sunday afternoon wedding.
do you think that the 2 star menu would be too much for an afternoon wedding?

No, I think it's fine! And in answer to your question tourist, I think it's fine either way - night or day wedding. I don't think it looks cheap nor do I think it looks too extravagant. It's just right.

lianemarie Posted: May 05, 2004 08:03 PM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

We are doing the 2 star menu also, and we will possibly add a vienesse and an extra hour. It all depends on the final guest list - hopefully it wont go up too much!

My BM is Leslie - anyone else dealing with her? she is very nice.

mosh913 Posted: May 05, 2004 09:14 PM

Re: Official Milleridge Thread!

I have Leslie. She is very nice. I spoke to her last week to set up out tasting on May 15th. I'm very excited. I love the room, but I kind of hate that huge mural on the wall. Oh well. I'm nervous about the cocktail hour because I've been hearing there aren't enough seats.
