so glad to hear that everything went well with the food tasting...When we did ours, we had so much food I don't even remember what I did & didn't taste! At least we all know we have nothing to worry about when it comes to portion size!!

Marianne is the best! I love dealing with her!

The bathrooms are no biggie for me! I don't mind the color scheme because honestly you aren't in there, you are in the ballroom! As long as they are clean (which I know they are) I am very happy!

Good Morning my fellow FT Brides Here is my dumb question for the day.....Does the FT call me to come in for the food Tasting or do I request an appointment? I am confused.....
thanks!

Denise, you never did one!! Call them & request one! We did our prior to booking...They will not call you to do the FT because they 'technically' don't do it! But if you request it, they won't say no!

Hi Anna!!!!!!

You must be getting so excited.....Marianne is the best and she has been extremely accommodating....there is noting she didnt give us...and we asked for alot

The bathrooms do not concern me at all,,they are clean and thats all I care about. I found a pix of the cake we are having on here and just showed it them and they said they can make it..I am sure if you find a pix on here or in a magazine, they can replicate it.

Re: Official Floral Terrace Thread!

So glad that the tasting went well. I took notes when we did ours because we want to change a couple of things. But we were so surprised about the things we loved. For example, the duck crepe or something...amazing. Another beef or lamb thing was great. The fish was fantastic. So it goes to show you that you need to keep an open mind about things.

So bathrooms are not done.... hmmmmm....

Do we all get menus done for us?

The cake is all FH's job - hope he picks a good one.

Did you know that FT got a real sno cone and cotton candy machine?? OK not sure about this but I believe that the cotton candy can be sambuca flavored for adults. Please don't quote me on it, but it's what my FH swears he heard Marianne say. If it's true it's a huge plus for us ITALIAN brides!

Re: Official Floral Terrace Thread!

We have our final meeting on September 20th....but it is more to drop off another pymt get the blue print of the tables and also just confirm the menu ... Since we got the enhancement menu along with the regular menu we didnt have to pick and choose,,,,,so that made it very easy...I just have to ask Marianne if we can have the seafood boat in the front of the CH room rather in the back...But other than that we are set!!!

ETA: Marianne was very negotiable, but when it came to adding the enhancement menu she wouldnt budge....that was extra but well worth it for all that we get

Re: Official Floral Terrace Thread!

I am so excited to see the snow cone & cotton candy machine! I haven't been in touch with FT for 2 months! I am so glad that we decided to do the full viennese hour!

We decided against the chair covers because they were not too important to us. Other then that though, I am getting super excited!

I can't believe bella you are going for your menu setup on the 20th! You must be super excited!

I think I remember the chairs being pretty, it will look beautiful without the chair covers...

Hi girls!

I know, I have been MIA. But, we just bought a house, and things have been hectic! Anyway, I think I am going to faint...I am getting married in like 8 weeks!!!

I believe I go for my final meeting the last week in September...that is what Arianthe said a few weeks ago when I dropped off a payment.

I am so glad to hear FT is getting all these new additions...I can't wait to see my V hour!

Does anyone know if FT will add certain things in more of an abundance over others? For example, because Fh is deathly allergic to seafood, we decided against the seafood boat for obvious reasons. However, we were hoping to add more calamari, shrimp, mussels, etc...which already is a part of the cocktail hour. Anyone have any experience with this?

I can't imagine how excited you guys are! I find myself so excited & it is still a little over 6 months away! FH had one request when planning the wedding & that was the V-hour, so we did it when we originally booked. Everytime I turn around, they are adding something new! I am so anxious to see it all play out! I went to a wedding when they didn't have the chair covers & they were very pretty.
