Re: "CHATEAUBRIAND BRIDES"
Posted by gisellav
Ok im reading that many brides got free things thrown in and i didnt.. i went to my BM and Frank said that he gave me the best deal and cant do anything.. Then i called him again when i heard that winter brides get a free room in the inn and he said its only sundays and again he cant do anytihing.. do you think i should talk to the manager.. ?
I dont think i got great deal. Im paying 72 pp a friday night in march.. the prestige menu . We are in the Normandy room and we gaurenteed 160.. what do you guys think?
I think the price is kind of high of a friday night in march, but guarantee 160 is good !!

Re: "CHATEAUBRIAND BRIDES"
Ok so I stopped by CB today to check out the new outside and it is partially done. The chapel area has been redone and new chairs have been added with cushions. They also added an arch down the aisle which is almost finished. There were a bunch of white chairs all around and some guys were still working on the pond and lighting. There was a waterfall which im not sure if that is done just yet either. There is also a new outside bar and a huge BBQ area.
I really hope we have a gorgeous day since we have a steel drum band and it will go perfectly with the new decor. OMG I cannot wait for our wedding!!

I love Cb but I really wasnt all that happy with the tasting. They gave us a cold anti for the app- and I really didnt feel like that gave me an idea of the ch or the appetizers. We are not even having cold cuts at the wedding. We didnt taste any pasta, and the entrees- they gave us food that again I wasnt all that thrilled with. I was thinking about going to back there closer to the wedding to have another tasting

Re: "CHATEAUBRIAND BRIDES"
Hey Girls-- I'm getting married at CB 9/27 -- sooo excited about this thread!!!
I'm having an outdoor cocktail hour (hopefully the weather will be OK)...and they're saying the gardens will be good to go by then.
We're getting married in the DaVinci room with a guarantee of 230ppl.
Someone is making my wedding cake for me (a good friend)...so I asked them if they could throw in something in place of that and Dawn, by BM said they don't do that.
Is this true? I heard something about a mini vienneise hour.
Does anyone know about that?
Good luck!! we all picked a great place!

I had the mini which you can see in the pics. Also they took off 1.50 pp for not using their cake (I applied this credit to an extra hour to the reception)

The day we went to see it was the day after New Years and they had a New Years party in there for 310 people...I don't see how that is possible...Jeff our BM said that he wouldn't do more than 300 I still think that's pushing it...I would say more like 250ish..too bad my guest list is at 317 huh..

Wow..I love that extra hour..did you know that you weren't going with their cake from the beginning or was that something you decided after you realized u weren't going with their cake.

I made all those changes about 2 months before the big day (I booked two yrs in advance).
