congrats! you are added to the official list!
the bostonian is very intimate. if we had less people i'd consider it.
FH and i went to a seminar already. it's a nice excuse for tasting their hors d'ouveres and vegetable crudite. samantha is a very nice lady and she is the one at the seminar, but i found the prices for things she offered to be a teeny bit high. but it was fun anyway!

Also, do not put 200 in the Astor if you can help it. I had 164 people and I'd say that was full enough. We had 13 at one table and I won't lie, they were a little tight. I have no idea why they tell you 200....I know people do it, but that's really too much. So if you can help it...really keep it at 180 max, for your comfort and for your guests!
Thanks, that's what I kept telling my parents but they kept inviting and inviting. Now as each response card comes I pray we have more no's.
Have my menu meeting on Thursday, wish me luck!

I'm getting married at the hall, too. For those of you with an indoor ceremony, do you know if we're allowed to have petals (or anything else) thrown?

For those marrying in the hall are you girls taking pictures in another location or planning to arrive at the watermill early to take pics?

We're arriving at the Watermill early and taking our pictures there before the ceremony - we're not going anyplace else.

you've been added to the official list!!

last showcase i went to, i won a free light show from tommy tunes i think. but i didn't use them for my DJ...so it kind of went to waste. so if i win something like that tonite again, i'll be glad to pass it along to another watermillie!
