Bumping...JT brides..any updates??

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Hi there, I have wanted to reply the past few days but i have been sooo crazy, so this will be long!

i am so jealous some of you girls got the chair covers thrown in!!! I am wondering if i could call and ask for them to be added! we are giving them a lot of $$$, its worth a try ahahahah.
Jozie, the cigar price seems pretty good, what are u getting with the deal, and when will the guy be rolling the cigars???

so for us we are in the dome room, both our mothers wanted us to be in the penthouse room, the one next to the dome, for size reasons. the room is really pretty, but we just loved the ceiling. i was indifferent really, it was the huge cocktail hr room that sold JT to us, so I let fh pick which room he wanted lol.

I have never heard a 'bad" review of JT, I mean ofcourse i have done the searches and read the small things here and there, but overall anyone i have ever spoken to has raved about weddings there. I have heard the food is amazing so that is the most important part hahaha. I have saved a few things that i have heard that were negative and as it gets closer i plan on addressing them with my BM.

my BM is Anna, she was very sweet but a little out there lol. Slightly sales pitchy as well. FH and I went to see jt w/ his brother (bm), his girlfriend and fh's friend, they were talking as we were touring and she was like 'guys please be quiet I am losing track here." I am so far away so i really dont know anything about the planning process with them. We send a check in every month, thats about it haha.

do u guys know what the menus look like that they provide??is it one per person? were you able to change your menu at all? I know its a choice of 7, but i would love to change the chicken on it.

next I want to welcome Paulsbride!!! your day is almost here and i cant wait to hear your review!!!! and then josie and julestrd!!!!!

who are u guys using for vendors, what are you favors! ok thats it for now, talk to you soon!!!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Very pretty! That is a pretty room to have the reception!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Hi ladies! I am going to check out Jericho Terrace tomorrow, and I am very excited about it. They wouldn't quote me a price over the phone, though, so I was wondering if anyone who is getting married during the daytime there could help me with that (I actually FM'd JozieB already - if you see this, I wasn't sure if you check that). I need to mentally prepare myself and my FI! If you do FM me about this, please let me know if your price is before or after surcharges and taxes). Thank you so much!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

hi wintergirl!! We are getting married there on a Friday night, but at least it helps you get an idea..... its easier to just post the price here, i hope no one minds......
CH is 7-8 reception is 8-1, we did add the extra hour and the full viennese. we got it for 87pp (before tax and gratuity etc.) It comes out to about 112pp after everything, we are in the dome room with 200 person minimum. The price for JT was exactly what we were quoted for crest hollow, woodbury CC and fox hollow as well.
i would be interested in hearing what price the other JT girls got too!!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

That's really interesting...we went to Fox Hollow last night and really liked the menu there (so I know what they would charge me, at least), but I think Jericho Terrace looks so beautiful in the pics that have been posted. I know we'll pay a little less also because of the time of year too. Thanks!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

yeah youll definitely do better with day time and time of the year! November is actually starting to be one of the "high" months, figures lol. Our base price before any extras was 75pp, so they are very reasonable IMO. here is a link to some awesome pics that one of the wonderful brides on here took, I am sorry i cant remember who tookk them, but i saved them in my favorite places jericho terrace pictures
any more questions just let me know!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Wintergirl..I just fm'd you.

EDITED: I forgot to tell you that my price is including taxes and tip.

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Hi ladies..I'm soo glad your back. I was getting nervous for a sec.

Exotica...The menus are ok. The are long and narrow. The entrees are the only thing printed on them.

They read something like this:

Welcome to JT, please choose one of the following for your Dinner Entree. ....and than lists the 7 types of dinner.

I know they have two kinds. One with the steak + the other 6 choices and another with the filet Mignon and the other 6 choices. They have a gold and green print on them. I am making my own so that they match my theme...but, was very tempted to not do it, cause they are decent looking. I think they will accommodate you with the change of chicken option...but than I don't know if you can use their menus..but, that shouldn't really be a reason not to change the dish.

I have to get back to you on the cigar roller details. that's the ONE thing my FI took care of and I have no idea what he is getting for his money. Mike said that they will prob. set the roller guy outside of the penthoue room..off to the side near that fire place upstairs. A little after the VH, the band will announce if people want cigars to go help them selves and advise them where to go to get them. Mike said that they can smoke in the CT room. So, I am assuming either he or the band will announce where they should go to smoke.


PS..I am meeting with Mike on Thursday re: cake selection..I'll fill you in..when I get back..

Thank you for the welcome, exotica776

I'm offically under one month!! I can't believe it - everything goes so fast! I'm ready for it to be over though...I'm ready to be married already!

I will definitely put up posts and continue to let you know how things are going. Our final appointment is Sept 9th, so I'll definitely post after that.

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

wintergirl06, I am sending FM now

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Paulsbride... I'm feeling the same way you are. I can't wait for the big day..

I can't wait to hear your review and see pics.

Have a great weekend girls!!!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

jozieb0925, as it gets closer and closer I find more and more things I have to do! It seems a never ending list....at the same time we're trying to move into a new apartment and sell my car all at the same time. It just gets so overwhelming sometimes! Are you feeling this way?? Our dates are so close, I'm sure you are going through some of the same things as I am right now. Luckily, JT is so great about everything, that is about the only thing I don't stress about these days

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

I am so happy we have found each other!!!!! I cant wait to hear everything you guys have to say as it gets closer!!!! I can only imagine how stressed u guys must be, just remember though we are all here for you!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Hi guys.. I am so excited to see that we have a thread going on.. I am really getting tempted to get those chair covers put on the chairs.. I am in the Dome Room as well.. I think the chair covers would look beautiful.. did anyone find out a price? Also about the cakes.. they get them from Dortonis? That bakery is wonderful! I can't wait..

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

hi belle!! I know isnt this site great!!! i am so happy to see another 05 jericho bride, i am so jealous of these girls, their day is almost here!!! I am with you on the chair covers, i reallyyyyyy want them!!! do u know how much they would be? Maybe if someone comes in under their minimum they will throw it in, but unfortunately that wont be me. i have never heard of dortonis, they are good?? that is exciting!!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

HI ladies
I had my semi final arrangements yesterday with Anna. Apparently my former BM Frank is no longer with them and so she will be taking care of us. She is a little pushy, and deadset on what it says in your contract is what you are getting and nothing else.

I asked her about if I don't make my minimum will they throw in extras, she gave me a flat out NO! The chair covers cost approx $2-4 depending on if you want the bow or not per chair. I opted to not go with them, because they chairs look nice, but my budget just won't accomadate for those type of extras.

As far as the cake goes, unless you want to pay extra you get what they give you. If you want your florist to decorate it they can, but you are taking the chance that the florist could mess it up. I may see what my florist can do before I make any final arrangements on that.

If your guests want to show up a little early there is a cash bar available on the bottom floor. Once again she threw in my face that it costs a lot of money for these extras, blah blah blah.

If you have any questions that I haven't covered so far about this place let me know.

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

Hi Guys,

I had a few minutes, so I decided to go to LIW's.

Yes. I am totally stressing.. We just moved into a new place as well...actually that's where I am right now. Between that, the wedding, and both my FI and I are fininshing up our masters..I'm about to go CRAZY!!! The big day is really close and I just keep trying to do things day by day and not look ahead...It's the little things that are driving me crazy though..

Welcome Belle. I'm glad you found us. fill us in on any info you have re JT.

Julestrd..the same thing happened to me. I was working with this really great guy in the beginning and later found out he left. No one told me, nothing..so I spoke to some relatives that have had MANY functions at JT and they advised me to talk to Mike. If you are unhappy with Anna..Try working with Mike. I have to say..he is pretty accommodating.

I can't wait to check out the cake selections...I hope I like them..these days i feel like I can't STOP spending money..I just keep saying.."I only get married once!!"...bad attitude!!

Thanks...

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics

A friend at work went to a wedding at Jericho Terrace this weekend - she is out of the office today but promised to tell me all about it tomorrow. She said she even took pics for me!! I will post anything she can give me. It was her boyfriend's twin brother who got married. She could only talk a sec on the phone, but she said in short it was amazing.

As soon as she gets me details, I'll send them your way!!

I agree, if you are not happy with your new BM ask to talk to someone else!! As I posted before, I work with Mike T. and he has been nothing but accomodating. Our guest list exploded and he ended up giving us the Penthouse at no extra cost per person! He is so helpful and is patient - no one else I have dealt with at JT has been patient with me. One inparticular I spoke to once when Mike was not available was flat out rude to me. Give it a try - you never know what another BM will be willing to do for you.

Good luck!

BTW - our apartment complex is brand new and they called on Friday to tell us that it is not ready and they have to push back our move in date! We are now moving in Sept 12th and our wedding is the 19th!! Stressful...
