#BREAKWATERS REVIEW FULL#

All types of breakwaters are involved, such as gravity-type breakwaters, pile-type breakwaters, floating breakwaters, and so on. In particular, this Issue deals with breakwater design and reinforcement methods to efficiently respond to the increase in design wave height due to climate change. **I will add photos once we get them back from our photographer.This Special Issue focuses on breakwater design. We loved this venue and will definitely be heading to Beachwood at the Dunes for dinner & drinks next time we’re down the shore. The night would have been perfect if the air was working, but I imagine this was a freak thing that doesn’t usually happen. We still had a great time and loved the food and décor. People had to keep leaving and going to the lobby to cool down, and it was a very hot night. The only complaint I have about the entire night is that the AC wasn’t working properly in the reception area.

Now that Sarah is on board and Patrick has some help, I really recommend this venue. They even added cute chalkboards with our cocktails written on them for guests to see when ordering drinks. We wanted to have signature cocktails (his and hers) and Breakwaters did a great job of creating cocktails for us based on our tastes.

The bartenders kept everyone’s glasses full and got drinks out quickly. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the chef created the most amazing Caribbean-inspired salad with mango that everyone loved. My husband is Haitian-American and we wanted the Jamaican jerk salad that was on the original menu, but were told later that we couldn’t get that salad anymore. The first woman we worked with told us that we could choose any of the options on the wedding menu at the time we signed the contract, even if it wasn’t on the seasonal wedding menu when we got married. And we got A TON of compliments on the Caribbean-inspired salad with mango. A couple of other people said their meat was the best cut of meat they’d ever had. We had several people tell us it was the best wedding entrée they’ve ever had. We are still getting compliments on our wedding food, especially the salad and the entrees. My husband actually sought Sarah out after our reception ended and told her what a great job she did with the whole night. Breakwaters worked with our DJ and photographer to make sure everything ran smoothly. The timeline of the night was coordinated, as well. The centerpieces were placed beautifully. They are really experts at making things look beautiful and put together. The way they displayed all of the cookies my mom, aunts, and cousins made was unreal. The day of the wedding, all of the décor looked absolutely perfect and how we’d imagined it to. We’re very detail-oriented people and had questions about every little thing, but Sarah was on top of everything. I’m sure my mom and I drove her crazy with all of our questions, but she was always pleasant. I don’t think this will be an issue going forward because that woman isn’t there anymore and they were going through a transition period.Ī couple of months later, Sarah was hired and she was exactly what we needed-super helpful and responsive, with great ideas. Patrick did his best to accommodate our requests or provide quality alternatives. We ran into some issues with inconsistencies (a lot of what the first woman had told us before we signed the contract didn’t turn out to be the case). However, he was very overworked and needed some help. She wasn’t responsive and after a few months we finally got in touch with Patrick, who is so nice and knowledgeable of the venue. We were working with a woman who is no longer there, and it always seemed like we were majorly inconveniencing her when asking basic questions (like when we could set up a tasting or when we could see the space). To be perfectly honest, it started out very rocky after we signed the contract. Since we knew we wanted this venue, we booked way in advance (over a year before the wedding). The adjoining condos that you can book with the venue were perfect for our group. The color scheme is really pretty and perfect for a beach-inspired wedding.

It’s absolutely beautiful with the tasteful beach décor that isn’t over the top. As soon as we walked in, we knew that we weren’t going to look anywhere else.
