Chez Vous caterers, the magicians behind events at Edgewater Hall and Shandelee Lake Inn receive thanks and praise on a regular basis.
Lenore & Joe shared there marriage vows at the Historical Edgewater Hall on Saturday. Lenores Dad married them and the reception followed on the first and second floor of the Edgewater Hall.
Edgewater Hall, with its colorful historic background and landmark status, is an exclusive location for Chez Vous clients. Built in 1876, Edgewater Hall is located at 691 Bay Street. It was built as the original location of Staten Island Savings Bank and was later used as a speakeasy frequented by the Vanderbilts and Barrymores during the prohibition era.
The main hall of the three story Victorian building is Historic ad Pristine. It features tin ceilings, exposed brick walls, authentic French doors and windows, a glass enclosed porch, and solid oak floors. The second and third floors are contemporary Manhattan style lofts with a comfortable yet unique feel and great views of the Verrazzano Bridge.
Here is one more satisfied customer who has experienced what Chez Vous provides:
Dearest Ettore,
Thank you for the most personal, fun, exciting, loving wedding ever. We were sure when we met you that we’d love having our wedding with you. At our first meeting you jumped right in being creative with and invigorated by our ideas. The resulting event, spectacular. Delicious to say our vows with that soft sun light streaming through those huge vintage windows. Then when we stepped into the reception area after being married it was a thrill to be enveloped into the elegant fun space. Actually, spaces, because its such a bonus to have a space to drink and chat, another to relax and get cozy, outdoor space to enjoy the view and of course the eating dancing party space. Something for everyone is not just a phrase with Chez Vous. Truly more than we could have ever dreamed possible. And we are really expert dreamers.
Our friends and family were as charmed as we were by the special, full of character, hidden gem that Edgewater Hall is. You’ve blended contemporary ease and sense of fun together with vintage elegance. Our pictures at your beautiful unique spot are the envy of many brides and grooms we’ve met.
All night the compliments kept coming; we kept hearing this is the best wedding food I’ve ever had. And what great use of an old bank building. They are still telling us how wonderful it all was. Your staff are accommodating beyond belief. You all made our guests feel as if they were special, important and well taken care of.
Bride speaking: Being a designer myself, I know that I can be exacting in my choices and desires.
And yet, each time we made a request you made us feel as if we were contributing to the well being of the whole Chez Vous family.We loved our wedding at Edgewater Hall. We and honored and humbled by the royal treatment we got from you all.
Ettore, you are a bride and groom’s dream!
With much gratitude,
Lenore and Joe Cilmi
