Question past FH brides - Any idea how early FH lets u in before your reception starts??? My church starts at 3 and my CH doesnt start till 7:30, therefore I am trying to save on limos and not get charged overtime.

---

I was told about 90 minutes prior... I asked my BM when we booked, but for photographs on the grounds you can schedule a time.... but your vendors can arrive about 60-90 minutes beforehand.

I asked my BM when we booked... I'm re-meeting with her to look at other dates on Saturday... I can check for you.

HTH

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Spoke to my BM last night and he said the latest he wants me there is 6, this way we have plenty of time for pictures

Question for current/past Fox Hollo Brides....


I'm trying to get the Sunday night before Labor Day 2010, but they want $95/pp which I an't afford... I don't think I can afford more than $80.

Unfortunately a wedding Mon - Thurs isn't an option for me.

Did you bargain them down for a lower price? If so about how much did they go?
Or can you give tips on how to bargain... I'm not very good at it

I have the same problem so I brought my mom with me to talk them down because I know she's a go getter and knows how to bargain. I'm obviously not in the same time of year as you so I was able to get a lower quote, but I would suggest that you take someone with you who's strong minded and who isn't afraid to say what they feel (mom, dad, FH?) and have them deal with it for you. Let that person say, 'Listen, I'm the one paying for this and this is what I can afford, is there anything you can do?' They were willing to work with us and it's worth a shot because think about it, if they say no- you're not losing anything... if they say yes- great! HTH!

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

We're also going to re-negotiate some things on Saturday too. Our price is pretty reasonable, but the whole contract thing was so overwhelming I want to go over a couple of things.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

it's all about the MONTH, not day of the week.

January/February & March.

November/December - I BELIEVE these are all 'off months'....go for them for the best price.

I'm going to go back and find out the prices for the off months... maybe I can work something out.

I didn't want a winter wedding but maybe because of financial reasons it's out of my hands. I don't think I'll mind too much... just I HATE cold weather :(

March is a no go for me, it's Lent and I want a Friday wedding... I don't want my guests have to worry about whether or not they can eat meat.

We are, in fact, going to check the November and January prices. My only issue is I have a couple of guests in wheelchairs (like 6 or so) and I don't want bad weather to get in the way.

I know it's silly to worry about weather in 2008 for a 2010 wedding, but it's more specific than that... I don't want the threat of bad weather because I want all my guests to be able to enjoy my day.

Additionally, I want to lower my minimum so I think FH will be more receptive to that during an off month.

there's no way to predict the weather in january - but the past few have been VERY mild. Yes - it was COLD on our day (and we were VERY happy about that)....but i think if you checked the averages, February and March have been much more harsh weather wise...

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

That's true. I was quoted 65pp for March and they threw some things in. I wanted a summer wedding but ended up doing March because of the big price difference but regardless of when your wedding is, it's going to be beautiful! Don't stress about it- if you're willing to sway a little- you'll get an awesome deal.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

If you are willing to compromise on the date you can get a great rate in the winter. My wedding is in January and we got a great price for a Saturday night. We are in the Garden Terrace room though, so I don't know if they give you more of a break if you have a higher minimum? FM me if you want details.

nothing changes in the winter - it's just colder outside!!!! it's all still the same - just without flowers - but the bare branches are just as pretty honestly.. i have some outside pics in my pro album i think...if not - i'll add them!

I've been looking at lots of photography websites for about three weeks now... to be honest they all looked the same to me.

Then I saw the pics in your LIW album... and I'm going to be booking an appointment with 12th Night in a hot minute. Those are beautiful. I love the outside shots most of all.

You have all but sold me on a January wedding! Cross your fingers for me
