In Response to Chateau Le Mer & Coral house:
Any info/reviews/advice appreciated... went to see these 2 venues yesterday with my FH and my mom n dd. Fell completely in LOVE with Chateau. Has everyhting I want and MORE. We would get a boat/yacht arrival, have a beautiful room with all ocean views the outdoor area was aawesome and well decorated for an outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour. I was just in love rwith everything. The price was pretty good for everything you get until our add ons my FH needs (its all he's asking for) and they didn't give us any better rate on the spot but said he would talk to his boss. The Coral House had awesome customer service, they gave us a small tasting (without us even booking!) and the food was yummy! We would get an event planner who came over to meet us and started asking all sorts of fun questions about our wants and needs and gave us some great ideas! It was all very exciting. They were going to throw in so many extras and the way the price worked out, they said we could just do it on Saturday like we really want. HOWEVER, I am not in LOVE with the set up/shape/size of the room. But everything they are giving us is so amazing that I feel bad NOT loving it. ANy advice? Ideas? I'm so over-whelmed and confused now. I mena my heart is set on everything I SAW at Chateau but the price and value at COral is almost too amazing to pass up!

I feel Coral House ruined my wedding - was the most horrible ending to a beautiful day...I could have let it slide till the owner yelled at me :(
I would not recommend them to any bride that cares about them self. they were decent to my guests, some cold food, a few tables with bad service, rude matri'd to me and my bridal party, but to the bride...I felt they took my money and didnt care about me at all. I felt rushed out at the end...no one even had the respect to come up to me and say "hey we have another party, lets move this to the lounge and open a cash bar"...which is what Linda Hunt told me they do when parties run over and another is booked at my very first meeting.
the owner yelled at me for defending one of my vendors, i left in HYSTERICAL TEARS...I sat outside crying in my wedding dress.
I have cried for the past 2 days and the owner wont even return any of our phone calls or apologize for being so mean
I felt like they were ok to my guests, some guests had hair in their food, some had cold food, my bridesmaid was hit in the head with a chair by staff and no one apologized, they kicked me out of the bridal suite, i asked for water 6 times only to have the DJ bring it to me becasue he saw I was about to faint, wrong cake, they lost the top tier to my cake, the matri'd man handled one of our groomsmen, the matri'd was rude to me, wrong ceremony pieces, ugly (personal opinion) planters with either dead, or ungrown plants by the altar, they broke a ton of my stuff at the end by rushing us out and shoving it into boxes, they treated a few of my outside vendors very poorly in my opinion...it was just a really really terrible experience from the perspective of myself as a bride. (I repeat this is all my personal opinion, the owner threatened to sue me as I sat outside crying in my wedding dress, because I told him I was going to post this review)
I have never been more sad to have a dream crushed in my life. based on my personal experiences, if you care about being a bride at all, and not just about your guests, then stay far far far away from Coral house. again this is all based on my personal experience that I just had with the new owners this past weekend, and I am sure some brides had a great wedding, but I personally feel sick to my stomach that I just threw away my life savings to a place that could care less about me than the geese poop all over the ceremony space outdoors :(
Please message me if you have any more questions about my experience and I can go into more detail.
