This thread will be for those of us who have spoken to the 'powers that be' at the Fox Hollow about ANY type of issue & what answer you were given.

Maybe this way we can help each other out instead of having to call 30 times just to get a quick question answered!

Just got my final number and final meeting date! I am going on Monday Oct 20 at 7PM! I will have a car load of stuff with me -- it's all in my living room right now and I cannot wait to get rid of it all!!!!

Katie, when are you going? Did you call yet? I called at 12:05

Wow you called early! I am actually going there tonight to make my final floral payment and while I'm there I'm just going to see if I can give them my final count. I e-mailed AnnMarie and she said that is fine. I'm thinking I want to go on thursday though since FH has off on thursday. I also have a bunch of stuff to bring!!!! So exciting!!!

For anyone who did a candy buffet...did the FH charge you for this? I am only asking b/c one of the ladies on the '09 board said her RH would do it for a couple of HUNDRED bucks. I don't know but that sounds a little crazy. So before i even begin buying things for the candy buffet, i just want to know if that's something i have to pay for.

If i DON'T have to pay for it then i'm definitely going to do it. With that said...where can i find really INEXPENSIVE jars for the candy? i've gone to Dollar Tree but everything is so small.

TIA

I had a candy buffet. It was a huge hit. I brought all of the candy in jars that I bought at Ikea. It was set up beautifully. They do not charge for this, but I'm convinced they will start charging for it as it becomes more popular. Make sure you get it in writing that you can do it.

Has anyone had Renee as their BA? I tried to request AnnMarie but was told that she no longer works on Sunday affairs. FM me if you feel more comfortable. Thanks

I actually went to see the hall when there was a cocktail hour going on in the WGP --The card table was right at the front of the room like when you walk in the door just walk straight ahead.

I would wait until 3 weeks or so before your wedding. They get a schedule I think 2x a week - i was told they get a schedule on the 16th (which is today) so I would imagine they get one on the 1st and one on the 16th. You have to get your request in before schedules are given out, and a request doesn't mean you're getting who you asked for.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

btw- just curious if anyone who is having an 11:30 ceremony was told that you couldn't be on the grounds before 9 am?? FH and I were told that he couldn't be there early by Denise b/c there would be no one there to greet him. I really wanted to get a move on the pics so we don't miss the CH at all

My ceremony is at 1130.. I was planning on starting pics at around 9. I was going to have the photographer come to me in the hotel , take a few in there and then go out onto the grounds.... Can we be on the grounds at 9am??

yes 9 am is the official 'start time'. The BA is expected to have set up the bridal suite by them, apparently she has a 'job' which does not only include attending to the BP during the wedding. I was just hoping to be able to start 15 min early
