Just curious......what are you going to do if the weather is bad? Are you going to have the ceremony inside? I didnt like the inside room so we are going to get married in a church just to be safe.

They gave us a 'no rain' guaranty. I am seriously keeping my fingers crossed! If not, they decorate the DaVinci room really nice. We considered a church just to be safe, but I've had my heart set on an outdoor wedding since I was 16!

What is a 'no rain' guarantee? If it does rain and you get married in the DaVinci room, thats really nice though!

Re: Let's have an official Chateau Briand thread....

the no rain guaranty wasn't really a guaranty, the guy just said that, and swore up and down that it wouldn't rain - I guess I just have to keep my fingers crossed

Well thats nice of him but he cant control that - only mother nature can!

I will cross my fingers for you but the Davinci room will be beautiful too I am sure! You are lucky to have that option. Since my reception is in the Saturnia and cocktail outside or in the promenade, they didnt offer us the luxury of the Davinci for the ceremony!

You ladies have made one of the best choices yet if I do say so myself. If I had to do it over again today, I would still choose CB

Re: Let's have an official Chateau Briand thread....

The Scotto Bros are the way to go. I am having my reception at CB too. I am so happy with every1, even all my vendors. I have used most of their recommended. My favorite is Chris the florist. I am also using Alexis Limousine, they are Scotto Bro owned as well. Their office is located right inside CB. I was not thrilled with Royalty, very unhelpful. Every1 at Alexis was beyond helpful!! From what I understand Royalty is no longer one of their vendors.

Any1 going to the vendor shpwcase at CB at the end of the month? I think 1/28?

Louslover,

I just sent you an FM, but I was wrong about your wedding date when I wrote you.

Nevertheless, FM!

I do not have much pix here at work on my pc of cb, but I will post what I have.

Here is one of my girls and I, in one of the studios. A lot of our photos were done at Old Westbury Garden, so I don't have much of detail of CB pix.

Hubby and I coming up out of the floor, I loved this so much
