anyone have a photo booth at their reception? FH really wants on, but I am not sure where it will fit

---

I think it would really depend upon what room you were in and how many people you were having. We were in the Garden Terrace with 230 people and I couldn't even think of putting another thing in there. Had I had 175...i think it would have been great. What room are you in?

---

We are in the WGP, planning on around 100 people

---

IMHO, I think you would be fine if you were having 100 ppl. I wasn't in that room so I don't honestly know...perhaps someone who was in there could give you a better opinion. Jess? GinaZ? Anyone??

---

I think u will be fine!

Did any of you WGP girls think at one point you'd have too many? I'm planning on 120, because we're after the holiday & am strong arming my mom & FMIL to find out what the deal is with out of towners because they will put us up to 170 invited! I need to pray for 'NO'S' Never in my life have I wanted to be rejected! LOL

---

we invited 170 also. And ended up with 140. And I think we easily coul haev fit another table and had enough room. When u look at pics of our set up, it looks like a large space was left for another table. And we used the max number of tables. And I thought we had plenty of space on the dance floor. You can kind of see what I mean in this pic.

Gina, is that a step ladder in the middle of your floor, in front of your table???

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Hi ladies,

I have a meeting with Richard on July 5 to discuss flowers, any questions I should bring up or tips you could give me?

TIA

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Thanks for the welcome.
I am kind of jealous that some of you have your reception in the winter garden, we have our cocktail hour there and the reception in the briar fox. We also have our ceremony in the little garden next to the driveway. Dave took us around and we were told we couldn't have our reception in the winter garden, and to the idea of an outside cocktail hour we were told 'we don't do that'. He also never mentioned or showed us the other gardens or larger room. I assume I would have needed a larger guest list for the bigger room to get the outside cocktail hour. Oh well, the place still looks gorgeous and the food, from what I was told, is supposed to be delicious!

By the way, how do you reply to a post and have the message you replied to show with your comment? Sorry, I'm new at this stuff.

Oh my God!!!!! I LOVE that blue lighting!!! Was that something that your DJ did for you? My color is cobalt blue, the exact color of that light. Since we're getting married in very early November, I'm figuring that we have the best of both worlds with daylight streaming through the Winter Garden glass ceiling, and then dusk to nightfall since it should be getting darker earlier. Would love to have my DJ light the room like that!

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful photo!!!

No way. The room maxs at 180. Dave told me 170 comfortable though. So 150-160 is perfect.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

A question or concern for those of you who had Ron as their BM.......

I called Fox Hollow this afternoon to speak with Ron, and was told that 'he no longer works here.' Not that he's on a leave of absence, medical or family leave, or that he's coming back in the future, but that he isn't there anymore at all.

I was told to speak with Dave, head director of sales (who's off on Thurs/Fri, and won't be in until Saturday), or Jenn and Annmarie. Has anyone here worked with them? Any advice?

We were very comfortable working with Ron, and he literally promised us a few very important things, and said 'don't worry, of course we'll do this' and reassured us on several occasions that everything will be taken care of, just call him when we're coming out to Fox Hollow and he'll take care of it all. I asked for it to be written in the contract, which of course, it wasn't, but Ron did assure us a bunch of times, both in person and on the phone, both before and after we booked.

So, what happens now? Will Fox Hollow honor our verbal agreement with Ron? I'm going to try calling Dave on Saturday to see where to go from here. But yes, I'm worried now!

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

thanksss, i feel better!

WHAT!!>!>!>!>! RON LEFT???? he was our Banquet Manager, we adored him.

I would talk to one of the other managers ASAP. I know some places wont honor oral contracts which is why I had everything written on, but they may work with you.

I have Dave as mine, I've only worked with him for a short time, but he has so far been very willing to work with me and has 'thrown in' a few items that he put in writing with out me asking so I would assume he may be able to work with you if you talk to him. From what I understand he's also the main sales guy so he seems to want to make everyone happy(well within reason)

Good luck

My bm Arthur had also left before my wedding. We used AnnMarie for our final meeting and she was also my bridal attendant. she was great! I also had correspondance with Jenn who was extremely helpful also. I never needed a BM again after I booked!

I was absolutely dead set on getting the WGP; until we went in the room. I got scared immediately that it wouldn't be big enough. So, to avoid any problems later on, we're having CH there instead and the reception in Briar Fox.

I too booked with Arthur who has since gone to work for Scotto Corporate and he promised us certain things that of course are not in writing. I am hoping that when we schedule the final meeting(I still have to do that) we can work it all out. I guess we shall see

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

I booked with Dave. He was great. We went back like five times before booking. He was so patient and great with my parents. I really liked him.
