The moment you've all been waiting for..well not everyone

After visiting 20 some places, the search has come to an end. That's not a typo, we have actually come to an decision as far as the reception location. We will likely go to contract tomorrow. L is really excited and nervous, and so am I.

While Cheatu Briand put up a good fight, ultimately we decided to go with...

Villa Lombardi

We felt that it's theme was more what we were looking for than CB's. However I think a wedding at CB would be really awesome as well. Certainly the 2 best we saw, out of a damn lot. :ha: We also liked the larger cocktail room VL had as well.

Since we are likely to contract tomorrow, I could use the help of future Villa Brides in negotiating. If you could FM me what you were able to argue for, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I would NEVER mention your name in discussions, I'm just wonder what kinda extra stuff I can get. They don't seem to want to budge on the PP price.

My sister's wedding in at Villa Lombardis March 26th. I think I may have told you this before but she didn't negotiate or get anything thrown in (when she wants something she will get it no matter what the cost!).

Re: The moment you've all been waiting for..well not everyone

I'm MrHostility's FW.......and I just wanted to say I'm soooooo happy!

I was really beginning to feel hopeless that we would ever find the right place for us. I'm so glad we did, and now I can start worrying about the rest of the planning!

I just wanted to thank everyone on here once again for all your suggestions and feedback. You guys are great!!!

Re: The moment you've all been waiting for..well not everyone

Congrats! I have been to 5 Villa Lombardi Weddings in the past 4 years and each one was great! They have the best cocktail hour. Everytime I go to a wedding there, I eat at the cocktail hour and bring my entree home

Your wedding is going to be great and people will talk about the food for years to come
