The US Merchant Marine Academy-Melville Hall Thread
Original post by bluesashbride
Hello Melville Bridal Chicas!
Let's huddle together and share, share, share!! We're all brides of Richard, Great Neck area, USMMA fans so we should team up to exchange the joy in planning our weddings. I love seeing all the pictures of brides who have been married there and/or just had there reception there and can't wait to see and share more on LIW!
I'm looking forward to talking individually and through this thread with everyone, and viewing everyone's questions. All of the USMMA brides I've 'met' so far have been helpful especially since I am an OOT bride. So here's to us!
Cheers!!

Re: The US Merchant Marine Academy-Melville Hall Thread
Hi! I think I'm the newest USMMA bride, I'm the only 06'er so far. FH graduated from there in 2000.
I'm looking forward to officially setting my date with both the chapel and melville hall.
Any advice for a total newbie like me? Thanks

Did you send your letter of intent with the dates you want to marry? Its first come, first serve. After that, just sit tight until about 8 months before to meet with Richard. He can be a little abrasive but I think in the end he will do a great job.
BTW- Congrats

I am a new 06'er too! Sept 16th is booked for us at USMMA. I don't even know where to begin with photographer and DJ, any ideas?

If you've contacted Mr. Stancati he'll help guide you. There are also checklists on the USMMA website. I would suggest booking vendors that are popular early, like hair and photographers.
