Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
Aww.. I met with Ron originally as well. I hope he is ok.
Btw, got the direction cards in the mail yesterday. My only concern is that they have basically an ad for the hotel on the back of them. I don't blame Fox Hollow for doing that, but it's tacky in my opinion. I specifically told our other hotel that I didn't want invitation inserts. I don't know if I should make new direction cards or just suck it up and deal with it. It's very clear that they come from the venue and that I had nothing to do with adding the hotel info... argh.. any thoughts??

Honestly - i s u c k e d it up and dealt with it. I put the other hotel card in with the invite and was very careful to put the Fox Hollow directional cards - DIRECTIONS up. There's a chance most people didn't even notice them. Also - most people won't use directional cards anyway - they have GPS' now or will use computer printed directions..

I used the direction cards. No one cared. I had the fox hollow inn as one of my hotels though but I don't think it matters.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
i was in the briar fox room as well.
I think I was told that 180 was the Max for that room.
We had over 150 and it was perfect but we used round tables.
1 think I will say about the Fox Hollow is that they will NOT do something that doesn't "work"
So if they tell you that your max is one thing, it will be comfortable even at the max. It will be more comfortable with less people, but honestly, you want people out on the dance floor most of the night anyway right?

Thank you for the info. How many people did you have at each table? They told me they could only fit 14 round tables. I didn't think more than 10 people per table would be comfortable. I hope I'm wrong.

Im not sure if its the same tables, but I had some tables of 12 at my wedding in the WGP and it was fine. of course the tables of 10 were better, but no one seemed concerned with a table of 12.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
Anyone know what the Fox Hollow will do / say if I have more guests than the amount allowed in a room??? I know that this is very unlikely. But I am inviting 170-172 and the room holds 156 plus Fh and I. (FH's parents added 25 people who "will not come but have to get an invite.") What will they do? Will another table fit? Will it break all sorts of fire codes? Will they tell me to tell some of my guests they cannot come? (I can always put that on FH's parents I guess - "You can invite them, but if they say yes, you will have to tell them they cannot come."  if they promise me they will not come and they DO, then it's on THEM to fix it, right?)
Anyone with info about room capacity please let me know - thanks!

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
FYI - Called Fox Hollow today to ask about vendor meals. A band I was looking into said they would just prefer pizza instead of some big meal. So they said I couldn't bring in outside food like pizza BUT I could tell them to just eat at the cocktail hour and there would be no charge. Otherwise its 1/3 off.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
OH my gosh JBooth! It's like you are totally reading my mind (or my guest list I should say!) I am in the same situation! Too many invites & no one is doing any leg work to find out who exactly is planning on coming! I have MANY OOT relatives and we are doing the day after Thanksgiving so flights are not going to be cheap! So I've been trying to nicely push people to decide if they are coming or not! I've been stress free so far, although now thanks to this thread - it's been a while since I checked it - I found out no longer have Ron & now need direction cards! Can I ask you girls - did they contact you for the 4 month decision making? Or am I going to try and track down my new Ron? I love that I am getting married, it's just I've been sorta stress free & don't want to start stressing! We'll see I guess I'm getting my first try on today! YIKES!

You will definitely get a letter in the mail. Don't worry about Ron not being there. The BMs are really just for bookings, as far as I can tell, and the day-of. You'll have a BM at your wedding, making sure everything is running smoothly (timeline, etc) - I think a lot of the time it's Eric, the operations manager. I met with him once when my mother and I had a payment and had questions to ask. Seemed ok. But don't worrry about that, no one really talks to the same BM for the whole process. Good luck with your try-on!

REALLY?? I wonder if I can get my band to eat during the cocktail hour only I think they are going to be setting up then though. Thanks for the tip. They should totally allow you to bring in a pizza though.

I think most RH's have a policy about 'outside' food. There's a reason for it, but it escapes me at the moment...

are you in WGP? We invited 170 as well. And freaked a little on the number. But we ended up with 142. feel like 1-2 more tables in that room would have been fine. Def 1 more table could have fit with noooo problem!!! I think there was 13 tables. 13x12 is 156 then there was our table- so I dont think they counted the two of us. And one more table of 12 would not have made the room too crowded in my opinion- if it HAD to be done.

You will get your letter at about the 4 month mark. You will be instructed to call to make an appointment to discuss menu, cake, etc... You will not see your BM again, after you book... The BM wasn't even at our wedding, but the 'final day prep' guy was....and we LOVED him (Frank).
ETA: "final day prep" guy is the person you make your final payment to, go over your last instructions with, etc....

I agree- dont worry about ron not being there. My BM left like 2 months after we booked. You can talk to any BM when u have questions and then like 3-4 months before the wedding you will meet with jenn or another person who will go over all the details with you and they become your contact. And if you still are not satisfied you can talk to Eric- the operations manager. He is very very helpful!!!!!!!!

Good to know - thanks Gina. Do you know, by any chance, what the Fox Hollow would do if you said you had 168 people??? (14 tables of 12) Would they allow it even?
I am really liking my idea of just having FH's parents deal with anyone who they invited who said was not going to come but RSVP yes (if we are over the limit).

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread
Thanks so much for that usefull information! AT least something is going right today. No dress for me to try on today! They mistakenly called me to tell me my dress arrived & booked me to come in to try it on, but couldn't find it. because it hasn't arrived yet! It was my Mom's dress! Soooooo disappointed! And mad because I took the day off from work for this! Add icing on to my cake, I just looked out at my car & it got a ticket! UGH!!!  my inspection sticker expired! Today is so not working out for me! Anyone have some Calgon I can use to take me away?
