Okay girls. I spoke to Maryann about the viennese hour. She said you don't get an extra hour. The viennese is set up in the cocktail hour room and people flow back and forth into there and the dining room. So my reception will be from 8-12.

Yes, I believe they DO leave the room as is. I don't think people will stay in there. Everytime I have gone to a viennese, people flow back and forth.

Yes you're right. The tables will be set up during the VH. But honestly no one really stays in there and if they do you wont even notice! Their VH is the most amazing thing ever. I've never seen more desserts and cakes in my life. Too bad I didnt get to eat any lol

Thanks for the tip on the Residence Inn. I will definately look into that one.
As far as the Viennese hour, leaving the table and the chairs in the room was a concern for me. I spoke with Nadine and she told me that they could take the chairs out, this way your guests didn't stay in there. Its an option.

I've checked them out online. Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with any of the hotels yet.
Oh sorry. No I haven't.

Hey girls!
Ok this may be a dumb question. Does NRC provide you with place cards or do I have to get them myself. I'm sorry, my head is spinning this morning.
Yes, they do provide the place cards. And with that mentioned, they also have coordinating menus as well.
That's what i thought. Thanks a lot!

Re: ~THE OFFICIAL 2009 NORTH RITZ CLUB THREAD~
Okay, I'm a little confused! We have the Viennese hour and our reception in total is 6 hours! A regular party is 5 hours, adding on the Viennese hour would make it 6! So, tell Maryann she is WAY off! Oh, and thanks for the note about the seating cards! So..I'm assuming they're plain white? And we can go there and pick them up and fill them out ourselves? I'm a litte slow, sorry!

I'm at the Melville Marriott! I was very happy with their customer service over the Hilton. I'm getting ready there, and we are having brunch the next day as well.

They aren't giving us an extra hour either. It's an extra $1000 to add an extra hour, and we have the Dessert Cafe!

I am not sure. I'll have to ask Nadine then.
As for the place cards, they are printed.

you keep calling it the viennese hour, but the north ritz calls is a dessert cafe, which is included in the regular reception. does your contract specifically say 'viennese hour', and how much per person are you paying for it?

Did you block a lot of rooms or did you book just for you and FH? Is this hotel far from NRC?

I believe the Melville Marriot is right off the LIE about 5 minutes from the Seaford/Oyster Bay.

They don't print the place cards for you, they do give you a stack of nice ones. I was going to print the names on them myself, but I think my Mom is just going to hand write them.

It's not far at all! I think we have 50 rooms blocked, plus a suite for me to get ready in and for the wedding night. We're providing shuttle service to and from the hotel to NRC.

Huh, if that's the case, I will probably get the frames and make my own.

Awesome! The hotel doesn't provide the shuttle? I am looking to block a few rooms near the NRC too. I'm just not sure which hotel yet. Thanks!

Normally that's what it should be 6 hours so i thought? Who did you book with? We wanted to have the Viennese hour 'dessert Cafe' as well but didn't add it on at contract and i was going to call this week and add it on. I'm a little upset that it's not an extra hour b/c i think it cuts into the partying. If you don't mind me asking how much did they charge you for the Viennese?
