Went to Sandcastle....

for a wedding and HOLY CRAP!!! IT WAS AMAZINNGNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honestly, this was one of the first times ive walked out of a wedding completely satisfied 100% with food and service!!! fsil is getting married there in april so i know ill be walking out stuffed again lol

where to begin??!! oh! just 1 minor hiccup i want to call attantion to future sc brides.... ch started at 6 pm, me and fh got there at about 5:40 and there was like a mob outside from the previous event, we had no idea where valet was, it was a littl chaotic because there were about 75 people all waiting outside for their cars! thankfully someone left a spot on the street that was right out side so we just park it ourselves right there.

so we walk in and go into the hospitlaity room (ch wasnt open yet), they had champagne going around which was nice. gorgeous room. ( ihavent been there since me and fh went to check it out for our wedding and it looks SO MUCH NICER!!!

so then we go upstairs to ch which is an AMAZING room, they really made it look awesome, those renovations paid off 100%. the cocktail hour was one of the best ive been too (dont worry russos brides, ive never eaten at russos lol so i cant compare hahah). they had a pianist play in the little nook thing while everyone was eating. But can i just say what was a little annoying was that the lights in the room change according to the music tempo so we were getting a little dizzy with the lights changing colors so fast in the room lol cuz we were right in front of the boat where the light are. Anyway, moving on, i think my stepdad glued himself to that seafood boat, the couple went all out and even had lobsters YUM! Basically everything was great during ch! top notch! oh and they had a few butlered hor deurvs that were sooo good!

then we went downstairs into the recpetion (smaller room), everything was beautiful! dinner was like 6 choices me and fh both had filet mignon which was excellent! we had an awesome time... the only thing is you have to go back upstairs for the bathroom which got a little annoying but cant do anything about that.

i have pics on fh's camera... ill try to upload them asap!!

but SANDCASTLE GIRLS.... TH EPLACE WAS AMAZINGGGGGGG I LEFT THERE SO IMPRESSED!

That sounds so amazing!! I wanna go to a wedding there again! I kinda wish we chose Sand Castle instead of Floral Terrace because they are doing SO MANY amazing upgrades/updates to the Sand Castle.

thanks joanna, i was waiting for this!!

good info about the lighting. i think i am going to ask for a steady color. i think it looks better too

one of the things i dont like about SC is the location of the bathroom!! thankfully for older (or drunken) people, there is an elevator

and as for when people get out....aahahhhhh....i just found out there is an afternoon wedding :( o well. hopefully it all works out.

thanks! and i cant wait to see pics!!

p.s. when is your fsil getting married???

i wish we would have looked there, FH's cousin was married there about 10 years ago and I don't like to 'copy' and we were told the food at the wedding was icky (looooong time ago).

But Now I see pictures and I know someone getting married there this memorial day... and I'm jealous!

too bad its too late to change RH!

Re: Went to Sandcastle....

yeah i think you should do a steady color, the lights were actually really starting to bother her ( like physically lol) so i would say thats a good idea

there is an elevator so at least thats good, i mean it wasnt that big of a deal just a little annoying, cant have it all lol

fsil is getting married the day after you! lol omg i just noticed that!

i didnt go outside but i saw outside from the cocktail room, they did have heater and tables sett up in case anyone did but it was just too cold

yuuup they did! it was reallllllly good!, i have pics of it cuz i knew my liw girls would ask , it comes together in pieces like theyre are these little carts which ultimately become stations and the waiter coming wheeling them out as they introduce the vhour.... they come to form like a diamond shape on the dance floor and then ahave another station closer to the band where the fondue is set up along with liquers at anohter station across from it

they had apple pie which was soooooo good!! and loukoumades!! which are a greek dessert thing, theyre basically warm zeppoles with honey, omg i died!!

when i went to look at SC, they told me it was only one event all day so that we'd be able to get in anytime. i guess they have since changed that.

yeah i guess they do close the dance floor then, which does make people feel like its the end of the party.

i didnt see a martini bar.. dont think they added that. champagne march? the waiters just came in and filled in all the champagne glasses and then we toasted. lol i dont think that was a mrch right?

Haha just had to check! Yeah, I'll definitely be enjoying that night- I'll need a night of good food and good drinks 3 weeks before the wedding.
