New to the board - Just want to say Hi :) (LONG)
We just got engaged 7/28/07 (our first vacation) & we already have a date set 4/19/08
~ Our reception site is Chateau Briand!
I've never been to a wedding there before but heard that it's great. Anyone have any experience there?
I have the church, reception, dress (just ordered it on Wednesday), videographer & photographer, & I'm 99% sure about the Band but we are going to see them on 9/22
I ordered my save the date magnets (still waiting for them) :)
Since we're having a Spring wedding, I decided to have a Green-Pink theme --- I am looking for green dresses but can't find anything I like ~ HELP! Did anyone see any nice green dresses???
I also need limos & flowers & decide on a Honeymoon location....
We're debating between Greece~ Hawaii~ Bora Bora/Tahiti/Fiji~Aruba~ Turks&Caicos............ I Have nooo clue ~ they all look beautiful!
Any advice is helpful as I am the first one getting married out of all my family & friends

Re: New to the board - Just want to say Hi :) (LONG)
Who is the band you're thinking of?
Chateu Briand is really nice, I've been there and also the Scotto Bros., who own it, are great!
I'd recommend Aruba SO strongly - FH and I have traveled all over Mexico and the Caribbean and Aruba is our FAVORITE!

Re: New to the board - Just want to say Hi :) (LONG)
They're called Viva Band ~ it's a Polish-American Band ~ We're Polish & 95% of our guests are Polish as well... So I'm sure you haven't heard of it :)
Yes Scotto Brothers are great - From everything I heard!

If my budget could allow me to afford a band...I would have loved to have them...but i hafta cut down on costs so dj it is (not that I'm disappointed...I'm kinda indifferent...as long as theyre good and professional i don't care which i have)
happy planning!! if u need help w/ anything let me know

Re: New to the board - Just want to say Hi :) (LONG)
Hi Ilona -
We just got their CD last week and we like them plus 15 other people recommended them!
We are going to meet with them in 2 weeks so I will let you know. But I'm pretty sure we're going to use them.

I know i figured it out ~ LOL ~
I'm using these 2 polish guys:
the website is ok but his pictures in the albums are beautiful.
There are so many different photographers & videographers ~~ all different price ranges. Are you looking for a Polish Photographer??? I can give you other names if you want.
