The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread ( I have noticed some more recent brides!)

Anyone interested?

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

I am kind of disappointed about not being able to use my own menus . . . I wonder why?

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

Me me me.... lol. They are the land of NO. But I guess it is because they would be losing money if people were making their own.

Edited because my fingers have dyslexia.

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

I'm not a VL bride but am a PJCC bride, so I'm sure the same rule applies, I had not heard this, what is there reasoning? Do they provide menus??? With seven entree choices, I would hope for what we are paying each guest gets a menu???? I am so disappointed to hear this!!!!

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

Jen- are you paying for them to do your menus? If so can you FM me if and what they are charging you? Whay else have they said no to?

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

They charge you a certain amount for menus if you want your wedding name and date on them.... Hence we will be the no frills menu.

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

I am going to have to talk to my banquet manager about this . . .

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's Thread

I remember shelzyp had mentioned the price a while ago, just before she got married. You also can't use certain rose petals for the outdoor ceremony. They also have to be a certain color I think.

I found ithttp://www.liweddings.com/chat/topic.aspx?ID=71337

$2.50 per menu!

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

I am getting married at the church, but I think that sounds SO absurd . . . I wonder why . . .

However I still LOVE VILLA LOMBARDI's

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

$2.50 per menu!!!!! THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ETA: but I still LOVE where I am getting married as well

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

Me too!!! Are they having any more expos??? I went to one this year but I am always up for more!

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

That is ridiculous . . . I am definitely going to have to speak up- I LOVE my menus!!!!!

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

You know, come to think of it, I think I saw you there, Jen, although I don't remember the date that I went . . . There is one on April 15th that I am thinking of going to.

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

I was at not the last one but the one before that. Neesiepie was there and I went up and said hello to her! You should have stopped by and said hello!!! My huge bangs give me away. lol.


And you are right about the 15th..... Hmmmmm... I would like to get in one last tasting....

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

PJCC bride stepping in here.
I am getting married there so I definitely have to find out about rose petals. I hope I can have some.

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

Does anyone know do they have tastings prior to your wedding or do you have to go to one of the showcases, we never even asked and I jsut thought of it (we have no doubt about the food, as we've been there, but just curious!) We would love to bring our parents prior to the wedding. I wonder if they'll have something for PJCC Brides when it opens?

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

I am 99% sure they don't have tastings. Just the showcases... I hope they have some showcases as PJCC. Can't wait to see it!!!

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

Just showcases.

Re: The Official Villa Lombardi's and PJCC Thread

What else don't they allow? The menu thing alone, and the comment 'it's a NO place' makes me pretty peeved. If you heard something else not allowed, please let me know.
