YEAAAAAA!!! It's so close now. Jen, how many boxes did you have for Nick?

We're doing our final payment on Thursday night.

We did the same as someone else...we had our 2 parents' tables on either side of us. Our bp table we split them up amongst the guests. We put our friends closer to the bar.

I had the famous Nick as my Banquet Manager and Maitre' D (I had it written in my contract)

We paid the $300 and then tipped.

I loved him - He was so awesome!

Re: Official Chateau La Mer '06 Thread!

Yes, kids under 6 are free and up to 10 are half price. Also, you do tip the Maitre 'd and bridal attendant on top of the $300. That $300 is split amongst the entire staff.
