Went to a Wedding at the Crescent Beach Club & Timepiece

Went to a Wedding at the Crescent Beach Club & Timepiece

Just thought I would post for any future brides--
the church was at St Raphael (east Meadow) and we stayed at the East Norwich Inn --
The Crescent Beach Club-- let me start off with I have always heard good things about the place so went in with positive thougths/feelings--
the cocktail was on the beach/patio and the weather was perfect for it-- the food was good for the cocktail hour but not much of a variety-- 4 hot dishes, carving, and then some cold antipasto/cheese table-- and that was really it
they had frozen drinks which was nice for the beach theme--
reception--they used Time Piece which I had also heard great things about-- I was not overly impressed with them--they did some songs FABULOUS and then others you were completely shocked at how it sounded (not positive at all) as for the band itself they did a lot of add in noises--like clips from tv shows, noises etc--just not my taste --- other than that they were good-- there seemed to be a relationship going on with 2 of the members and their sexual advances to each oteher were pretty gross to watch--
also the band is set up on a stage--so the singers are on the floor and numerous times they set at the edge of the stage while on break--not professional in my mind at all--
as for the rest of the night--dinner was ok and they had a dessert tray on each table (Cookies)
overall it was a great day-- oh yeah there was a lot (LOT) of silence from the band and there breaks were exceptionally long--
I hope this helps anyone --and again this was just my view from a past bride (4 months) who feels like a professional bridesmaid/guest-- been to 8 weddings since my own in April!!!!

Some more...

Laura,
I am using Timepiece so Im a bit worried. Would you mind giving more detail (so I can make sure I discuss this with band beforehand)?

For example:
Do you remember which songs they did poorly? well?
What they did that lead you to believe there was a relationship?
What types of breaks? (there should not have been any silence!)
Anything else you can remember?

Thanks!!

Where was your reception and did you have a band or DJ? Thanks!

?? for Laura about the East Norwich Inn

My wedding next year is in the Sea Cliff/Glen Cove area and I have not been able to find a hotel for my guests that is nice and not too far from there. We live in East Norwich and I was wondering about the EN Inn for my guests. Can you tel me your thoughts on it and whether it seemed expensive or not?

I booked Timepiece too....

I am horrified to hear that about Timepiece. Please, Laura, tell me more about what went wrong. I only sent them one deposit, so more info would be most appreciated!

For chmlengr....Roslyn Claremont is very nice hotel! *NM*

?? for Laura about the East Norwich Inn

My wedding is at the Crescent and I blocked rooms out for my guests. The prices are $235 for a suite and $118 for a regular room. That is for next September.

Milleridge Cottage--band- Full HOuse *NM*

Timepiece/East Norwich

I am a little crazy right now but am hoping that some of this might help keep my mind off of this tragedy
timepiece--sorry if i caused concern--they were fine--just some concerns i had-- the lead singer(blond male) and the female singer-- just to give you an idea-- he was on the stage she was on floor--during song he went over towards her and leaned over and she leaned up(tip toes) and the tongued each other in the air--not exactly a sight i would want to see--
as for the silence-- the beginnning of the night they played quite a few songs BEFORE the bridal party was even announced--whcih was odd-- then they said dinner was being served - which hadnt started yet and put on instrumental music--during the night we did a group college pic(and there wer about 30 of us) so it took some time to assemble--well instead of just having music play there was total silence--nothing---
i cant remember specific songs-- but they were very much performing--with little dance routines--but that is what some people like as well--just my opinion
again i dont think they were the worst but def not one of the best i have seen--even in the past 4 months
sorry if i worried anyone--but i know how helfpul some posts were for me so i was trying to do the same
Laura
any more questions feel free to ask

Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I hope everyone you know and love is safe.

Don't worry about disturbing anyone with your review - your input is appreciated.

To those who booked Timepiece - I don't remember a blonde male singer?? Just dark haired guys.

Thanks.

he def had lighter hair than the rest-- skinny white guy--maybe light brown hair
;-)

Thats what I was thinking unless it was the guitar player who does sing some lead. I am sure it will work out.

To Sonicstef

he is a guitar player--all the way on the left(not sure if that helps) he was also that guy that did most of the intros/cake cutting/etc
