milleridge cottage brides

I'd love to see them! my email address is ktelegadis@usa.net

Good luck, Mark

I confronted my mother-in-law to be...confronted my fiance and said "small" or nothing....after much bickering and arguing...we're having a fairly small brunch at the Three Village Inn..they do almost everything for you....honestly if they didn't...I'd just elope...if you all let this five hour event make you sick...you won't have the strength to survive the first battle over whose house you are going to spend the holidays at.....Take your vitamins......and good luck...JessicaE

Gina-- I would love to see the pictures- we are still in search of a photographer- we have an appointment with Cassarino on Thursday so we'll see how that goes ;-) Laura

I'm sure we have all had problems with e-mail. Aside from getting a thought into words, there are many elements missing from an e-mail that a telephone call or personal conversation have, such as, a persons tone of voice, body and facial expressions etc.

Your suggested tip sheet is a great idea. There is no discussion between you and the client, just something for them to think about and use at their own discretion.

I'm using the Carriage House on 3/25/2000. Have you seen it? I think its beautiful - very quaint and cozy. The fireplace & oriental rug will work well in March....warm weather weddings can have their cocktail hour outside.

3 things to be aware of - first, they say the room seats 130 but thats a high number for that room. comfortably, I wouldn't put more than 9 people at at table (they're small).

second, both times i visited the handicap bathroom was dirty and substandard to the other facilities downstairs. they told me they'd clean it and i asked for flowers in that bath room (its not standard but they're throwing it in). i'm also bringing a bath rug and some nice soap to warm it up a little. we have some elderly folks attending so it will be used a great deal.

They have several options for menus. Brunch or dinner. The prices start at $42/person for a weekday in the carriage house (the smaller location, I don't know if the cottage is more expensive) and then go up.

Kate, Don't worry I will be with you guys until the end!! I am about to loose my mind!! And at the same time I am having the time of my life! I have only 26 days left and everything is going as well as can be expected. We did the finals at the hall over the weekend, and tomorrow we go over the final arrangements with the DJ, Video, and Florist! This weekend I have my hair trial, and another fitting. Seating has been a PIP to say the least, why do people believe that they do NOT have to send in their RSVP's by the date indicated??? I was so organized and did not believe that I would be running around like this at the last minute!! But I also have a little advise, leave yourself plenty of free time at the end you will need it! Also I do not know if they all do this but my hall provides the cake topper, toasting glasses and cake cutters. Good thing I waited till the last minute on this one, I am not having a cake topper because it does not really go with my cake, and I think that I have enough keepsakes from the wedding so I will use their toasting glasses and cake cutter, besides it saves a few bucks.

I'm at work, but when I get home I'll send you the info they gave me. I'm in the carriage house, which holds 75-120 ppl., and I'm soing a sunday brunch, but it'll give you an idea...

I'm paying $72.90 pp for a 2 star in the Carriage House for a Sat night in March. This includes a 10% discount for the month. There is a 10% discount in Feb and 20% in January as well.

I don't know what everyone is doing as far as entertainment but the cottage has a beautiful baby grand(you know that thing they put the seating cards on). I thought it was a shame not to have it played for our cocktail hour. So one of the guys from my band spent an hour playing Christmas songs etc on it. I thought it was a lovely touch and gave the cocktail hour very graceful backround music........Gina

Same 2 crews shooting the group shots and those of rob & I together.

with tax and gratuity, that 72.90 is really $93 per head. The Milleridge is Nassau tax + 17% gratuity.

We are having a sat nite as well-- but we added to the 2 star menu( I couldnt do without viennese I am very italian-- or the shrimp/seafood-- so we ended up at $101 a person which with tax and tip is $127 so the Milleridge is def up there ;-)

As far as favors are concerned we do alot of great favors for bridal showers....just some of them are dress shaped trinket boxes, candles, mugs filled with candy, potpourri miniature bride sachets that look like little brides, all types of chocolates, frames, and more. We also do a towel cake centerpiece that is a nice touch as well.

Hope this helps! Stephanie, Classic Favors and Invitations
