Has anyone had the chance to pick out their linens yet? I was wondering if they have other colors or is it just the floral white fabric I always see?

---

There are two linens. One is a little thinner I think. They gave me the nicer ones for free though. Im not sure how much it would have cost though.

---

Why would you have to pay for linens? They should be included in the price, no??

---

you have to pay extra??? thats insane!!! my contract states linens i think.. i remember I had him write it in there..

im going! We should all meet up!!!

---

who are you planning on going with?
I'm going with my FH & one of my BMs

---

I am also going on Saturday. I'm taking my MOH, grandmother, and FMIL.

---

something came up and I was unable to make it that day

how was it?

---

The food was really good. They had the room (Holiday and Perisian) set up like a normal cocktail hour. We sampled the cocktail hour food. I liked 95% of the things I tasted. The next day I met with Ian for my final run through and asked about the tasting for the main dishes. He informed me that Leonards doesn't do tasting of main dishes. And I asked about the cake and the free cake is either choice 12 or 13 from the cake book.

---

Hmm, that's interesting, I never knew that! Do they give you a cake tasting? Are there a variety of flavors to choose from?

when I first met with maurizio he included linens but he didn't write it in the contract and then when I met with patrick he said there would be a cleaning fee of $3 per linen but I told him that maurizio threw them in for free and everything was straightened out and they wrote that on the contract, so they're included in my price...as they should be, i'm having a big wedding there, the least they could do is give me free linens I think

I saw pictures of two different linens from past brides on here, I saw one pic where the linens kind of look like satin, and another pic that had designs on it, i'll post pics in a sec

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

Okay, so here's a pic of the linens that I usually see:



And here's a pic of the linens that look like satin:



Both look pretty nice to me!

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

Any update on this? Do I need to be worried that I will have to pay $3 per linen??????????????

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

I think the second pic with the strechy linen is what cost extra. I got the linens from the first pic.

I called in about this and he said the basic linens are free!

he said 'be careful on what you hear online because if you want different linens of course we need to charge.. basic linens are free'

he also said that they do tax service charges (grad).. there is nothing he can do about that

I also asked about rehearsal and he said rehearsals are not need for a 30min ceremony.. if you really want to have one you will have to have it on a weekday for a fee... he said there is no time before your wedding to rehearse or even look at the ceremony room..


I asked more questions but i dont remember what they were.. i will update tonight

Thanks for calling and sharing the info!

Re: ***Official Leonards of Great Neck Thread***

I have a meeting with Ian on Saturday. My contract states free linen, but they have basic colors for sashes-black, pink, blue, etc. My color is Tiffany blue, and it's driving me crazy!!!! So,I have to pay extra money for sashes and napkins.

Please post questions to ask when I meet him-
-cake
-linens
-food
-etc.
