Thank you so much for all the information. Car repair dubai

Hi all! I’ve just been reading all the great stuff on this topic. Very helpful! Wanted to see how the whole beach bonfire rehearsal idea was coming for you guys. That’s the definite route I want to take as well but I’m not getting married until 2010, specifically Sept. 18, 2010 @ Montauk Yacht Club. So excited! However, we are trying to find less expensive lodging as well as a great rehearsal dinner venue & a Catholic Church nearby. Any ideas? Also, who are you using for flowers & are they reasonable?

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura,

Love that you’re planning early.
– St Therese is the Catholic Church in town.. its beautiful!
– A lot of my friends are staying at the Royal Atlantic. Its right on the beach near Nick’s.. seemed pretty reasonable. If your wedding is at the Yacht Club you should look at the Harborside Motel. Its across the street.
– I’m using Strawberry Fields for flowers. Her name is Mary. Good prices too.
– We are having our rehearsal dinner at the Old Harbor House. Its near the train station. The other place we were looking at was Manucci’s.
– We are doing a bonfire thing after the rehearsal dinner w/ everyone. Its a real hassle getting a permit and as long as the fire is 2’x2′(i think?) you should be fine. And as long as its not too close to the dunes.. common sense stuff. You can even have more than one 2’x2′ fire.

Have fun planning.

Thanks so much I will definitely look into those ideas! I’m trying to get started early so we know how to budget for everything & we can still have time to save for the splurges we can’t be without haha. When is your wedding exactly & where are you doing the reception? Good luck, hope everything is going smoothly for you!

9/19/09! Coming up fast!
The ceremony is at the Lighthouse and the reception is at the Second House Tavern.

Wow…exactly a year minus a day from mine. You’ll have to let me know how it all turned out! Are you going on your honeymoon straight after?

Yes.
We’re going to Spain and Portugal!

Congrats! That sounds fabulous! I hope you post how everything turns out though I’m sure it will be beautiful!

I am getting married at Gurneys October 10th 2009. When is your date? Were are still trying to decide where to have the rehearsal dinner and it’s already the middle of May. Did you come up with anything yet?

I am getting married in September and want to do the beach rehearsal dinner but I am very nervous about weather… it’s kind of a gamble. Also, does anyone know good + reasonable hair and make-up people? Thanks!

I agree on the weather issue. We just have to pray about it. If the dinner cannot be on the beach or outside, I would like something with an oceanview for sure. I just can’t decide if I should have it at Gurney’s where the wedding is or some place else. Let me know if you hear of anything and I’ll do the same.

Jenny

P.S. – Haven’t gotten that far with hair & make-up people yet. We are just starting to get prices for DJ’s, photographers and flowers. I guess we’re running behind. 🙁

Thanks!

yes, that is funny..we are doing the ipod as well for the rehearsal dinner!

i love that you are a musician ..i will check out the link!

I am actually bringing mine from NYC from “something sweet”
i was looking for a makeup artist out east that is reasonable if you girls know of one

thanks! i will keep my ears open for a bakery!

I am getting married at Gurneys and the cake is included but you can also try Montauk Bake Shoppe. I believe they do wedding cakes.

Hi Jennifer-

For our rehearsal dinner we are just going to use an ipod with a portable speaker system, but for our ceremony and reception we are having the jazz guitarist Bill Wurtzel (http://www.billwurtzel.com/contact/) and his partner guitarist- I am so thrilled they were able to come out to montauk. i am a musician so music was the most important part to me.

Did you hire a band yet?

One thing I am having trouble finding is a great bakery in the area. The only one I have found is Gurney’s- Do you know of any in East Hampton that are great? Have you decided on a bakery yet?

Hi Jacqueline,

Thanks so much for your reply! Congrats on your wedding!!
I hope the clambake idea turns out…quite high actually for a rehearsal dinner. Did you hire a band yet?

Let me know if you missed anything as I have done research on every subject! 🙂

Hi Jennifer-

We are doing ours right in front of our hotel (the ocean surf resort). But there are a few companies out there who can do it anywhere on the beach-

Gurney’s also does bonfire dinners. It is a gamble and you would have to come up a rain plan- our company said they would not charge us for the bonfire or tiki torches and we would just move the food into our hotel…but i crossing my fingers that will not happen

hi..i love your bonfire dinner idea…where do they actually do it?
also, what provisions do you have if it rains? I am getting married on 7/25

Hi-

I just spoke with Linda who is in charge of permits for Montauk (631-324-3187). Turns out we won’t need a permit for our bonfire dinner because our party is under 50 people. She also said- no amplified music on the beach, no tents, no glass, and we have to follow the town parking regulations.
