Welcome!!! Are you new to planning? Have you gone to any of the showcases yet? I recommend them as a starting point to determine what you like/don't like in vendor work. We ultimately so far have gone with vendors NOT on their list, but the head start we got at the showcase was invaluable!

Thanks.. yes, I did start planning. All of my main vendors are booked. I did attend one of their bridal showcases, as well as others at different venues.

I booked Royalty for my Limos...Cassarino for my Photo/Video...Body Rock for the DJ... and just booked Pedestals for the florist...

We're seeing Pedestals next week! I can't wait! I was thrilled when they were added to the vendor list!

OMG!! you HAVE to let us know everything!! all the details!! =)

Hello all!!!!

I'm a watermill bride as well!
April 23, 2010
Vanderbilt room

Can't believe Bruce left...he was my BM too.
I agree..a phone cal or email would've been nice.
Sooo aggravated.

We just booked the Watermill for September 4, 2010 in the Vanderbilt Suite and are really excited about it, except for one thing.

Initially we met with Frank, and got a few quotes on paper, but when FH and my dad went to drop a deposit, they met with Brian, who was less than accommodating.

Brian basically told us that the prices that we were quoted were incorrect and that we would need to pay over 15 dollars MORE per person. Needless to say that we were NOT happy about it.

After much discussion and a semi freakout on my part, we were able to get our original price.

Hopefully from here on out everything will go well, but it was a terrible first impression and worries me a little about the actual wedding day.

Hi Girls!!

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I was dealing with Bruce, who I learned is no longer with the Watermill.

Well, I have to go to the Watermill to give another payment, and when I called to set up an appointment, the women told me that I didn't need an appointment to do so. I than explained to her that I was dealing with Bruce, and since he is no longer there, I would like to come in and speak with someone to go over my contract and other questions I have. Once I said that, she transferred me to Brian, the other Banquet Manager.

I spoke with Brian, who was VERY nice!! I am only able to go there Friday after work, and Brian is not there, but he told me that he would give me an appointment with Bob. Brian also told me that if there was anything that I needed or had any questions, that I can contact him and he will be sure to help me.

This put me very much at ease with the whole situation and now I just hope that when I go on Friday, that everything is in order!

I will keep you girls posted!! Hope all is well with everyone and their planning.. KIT!

Hi...

Just wanted to let you know that we met with Brian yesterday Although we loved Bruce, he was really great too. We are happy to be working with him.

We also met Sean...he was a really nice guy too. You can't go wrong with either of them.


Good luck with your planning!

Hi...
We called up the Watermill and told them that we would like to meet with Brian since Bruce is not there any more (FYI: Brian is the Director of Sales). They connected me to him. He said that even though Bruce is gone...everything will still be in place. We asked to meet with him regardless and he was very understanding.

Both BM's we met that day were really great! We are very happy to be working with them. They made me feel much better about everything.

My BM is Brian and he is awesome!!!! So sweet, understanding and very accomadating. I love him and don't think you have anything to worry about with him!! He's great

Hello ladies. This is my first post and I have already booked the Watermill for March 6, 2010. Most of you seem satisfied with them, which is very reassuring, putting my mind at ease, because I'm totally stressing out.

Keep it coming, good things or bad!

Hi...Welcome....

What room are you in?

Posted by daniellek730

I'm in the Astor. I was at the open house to show my father and FIL's. It looked tiny with all of the people! I'm a little nervous that it's going to be too crowded.

---

nooooooooo don't be!!! thats my room too!!!

u have to realize the entire dance floor was PACKED w/tables and food an ppl standing room cuz theres over 200 ppl that go to that showcase remember....when the rooms capacity is 200....

and every inch of room where tables normally go is filled w/vendors and displays.....

the way the room looks at the showcase is a HORRIBLE representation for what it will look like as the reception room for ur wedding...

take them on a day when ur just dropping in, look in the astor suite...the dance floor alonee being open makes the room have so much more room!

your wedding wont have tons of vendors and 2x as many ppl as the room can contain....it will have your guests, b/w 150 and 200, that will either be at their tables, or on the dnace floor...its plenty of room!!

DO NOT WORRY!

I'm the biggest worry wort. My list keeps growing and growing.

I'm hoping for only 125 people. I guess I have to wait and see.

Welcome!
I am also a Watermill Bride 10/2010 finally started my countdown.
I booked the Astor suite. This was the first place I looked and I reserved that day!
