Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Ladies-

I am freaking out….my job is killing me!!! I am too busy to even remember that I am getting married and traveling so much that I can’t get anything done. Why is this happening now when I want to be able to focus on my wedding? Why am I being challenged this way? I havent cried yet...but the tears are well on the way.


Anyway, after not sleeping all night I realized that I have a questions that are doing just that, keeping me up at night. They are not that big, I guess, but with everything else going on I …… I don’t know. I guess I will just ask my questions:

Here is some background: I am getting married at 7p on a Friday in July. The cocktail hour is in the 7:30 Winter Pavilion and reception in the 8:30 Briar Fox. I will have about 150 attending

1. What are your thoughts on the room selections? I keep flip flopping. I love the Winter Pavilion but am not sure how it would be for a reception….what do you guys think of my room selections.
2. If I changed my mind will it be much of an issue to change? Ken is my BM.
3. I do not want my FH to see be before the ceremony which starts at 7p. Will pictures be an issue? Do you guys think that I will be able to have a receiving line?
4. If I wanted to change the wedding start time from 7 to 6, do you think that will be an issue?
5. Is anyone having their rehearsal dinner at the Fox Hollow? Is that even possible. Some of you have mentioned that there is a brief rehearsal before the ceremony but again, I don’t want him to see me…..
6. DOC – is it really worth it?
7. Honeymoon night – we have booked the honeymoon suite at the FH Inn. I am guessing that will be ok….right?
8. Champagne choice – will we be able to select a champagne of our choice? We are not too fancy just regular folks but I am not sure what they will wan to serve.
9. Back to the reception, do you think they will move the pictures in the Briar Fox because I hate them. How about the curtains?
10. Bravo DJ’s – anyone using them?
11. Dresses – been to Klienfelds (hated it!) and found a great dress, Saks where they didn’t have many dresses to choose from…where should I be looking? I am trying to pick my dress in the next too weeks.
12. Travel agents - We want to goto Turks and Caicos....does anyone know any great travel agents?

Ok, I think that’s it. I will post more if I have more….today is my wedding focus day so I am going to be all over the place.

Ladies, I appreciate your help and support. We are all going to be amazing brides and wives! Now, I am going to have a glass of wine…it is 5p somewhere in the world…right?

I can help with some of this... as I now have Ken as my BM.

1. 150 might be a little tight for WGP. and if you have your CH hour there, you would need to move it to the Lantern Gallery. The max for WGP is 156 -- but I wouldn't recommend that many people in that room.

2. The change might not be an issue -- it just depends on what other events are going on that day.

3. Pictures won't be an issue, but you might have to miss some of your cocktail hour.

4. I tried to change my start time from 8 to 7, and was told no... since at that time they'll be breaking down the afternoon wedding and getting ready for yours. As it gets closer I'm going to try again... but they run a pretty tight schedule.

5. Yes, they do the RD at the restaurant in the Fox Hollow... It's a little on the $$$ side, and personally, I don't want too many of my guests to see the Fox Hollow before my wedding.

6. I got a DOC though Perfect Wedding Planners. Best decision I made since I tend to worry a lot about stupid things. I don't want my family or guests to be 'working' at my wedding.

7. The night at the Inn will be great. From what I hear Fox Hollow Inn does a great job!

I don't know about the rest of the questions, but I would check with Ken... if they move the pictures you might see a difference in the paint on the walls... you're probably better off leaving them IMO. HTH.

I dont think they will use the BF as your CH since thats the room they use for The Garden Terrace CH. You can try though. Good luck!

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Q for ladies already married:

For the Alphabetical Guest List, do they want to know the names of EVERYONE coming to the wedding? Or can I just put Mr. & Mrs. Smith Table 13 or Smith Family Table 13?
Because I have to admit that I don't know the names of everyone coming to the wedding. Especially on FH's side.

10. Bravo DJ’s – anyone using them?
11. Dresses – been to Klienfelds (hated it!) and found a great dress, Saks where they didn’t have many dresses to choose from…where should I be looking? I am trying to pick my dress in the next too weeks.
12. Travel agents - We want to goto Turks and Caicos....does anyone know any great travel agents?

Ok, I think that’s it. I will post more if I have more….today is my wedding focus day so I am going to be all over the place.

Ladies, I appreciate your help and support. We are all going to be amazing brides and wives! Now, I am going to have a glass of wine…it is 5p somewhere in the world…right?



I can help with some of this... as I now have Ken as my BM.

1. 150 might be a little tight for WGP. and if you have your CH hour there, you would need to move it to the Lantern Gallery. The max for WGP is 156 -- but I wouldn't recommend that many people in that room.

2. The change might not be an issue -- it just depends on what other events are going on that day.

3. Pictures won't be an issue, but you might have to miss some of your cocktail hour.

4. I tried to change my start time from 8 to 7, and was told no... since at that time they'll be breaking down the afternoon wedding and getting ready for yours. As it gets closer I'm going to try again... but they run a pretty tight schedule.

5. Yes, they do the RD at the restaurant in the Fox Hollow... It's a little on the $$$ side, and personally, I don't want too many of my guests to see the Fox Hollow before my wedding.

6. I got a DOC though Perfect Wedding Planners. Best decision I made since I tend to worry a lot about stupid things. I don't want my family or guests to be 'working' at my wedding.

7. The night at the Inn will be great. From what I hear Fox Hollow Inn does a great job!

I don't know about the rest of the questions, but I would check with Ken... if they move the pictures you might see a difference in the paint on the walls... you're probably better off leaving them IMO. HTH.




Thanks. I left a message for Ken, lets see how it goes. I think I have decided to make WGP my reception site and the BF the CH.

I dont think they will use the BF as your CH since thats the room they use for The Garden Terrace CH. You can try though. Good luck!




Yeah, be prepared for them to say no on that, they have a set system of which room goes with which and at what time - it can never hurt to ask, but they really are not flexible. Just heads up for ya...
