I always knew I wanted CLM...was gonna look at Fox Hollow but they never returned my calls. I'm VERY happy I had my wedding at CLM.

4 - honestly, one of the reasons I picked Giorgio's is the service was much more personalized. Other places I visited I felt just like a number...like I was one of the many brides they'd talked to that week, but Giorgio's followed up with a nice letter and a phone call. It wasn't so much a sales pitch as a thank you for meeting with them. In the end it was the right decision - their service (and food) definitely lived up to our expectations.

I knew I wanted to get married at Russo's - just wasn't sure at the time that it would be financially possible.

But it was and I was so happy !

21.

Booked the 20th one we saw...I fell in love with it, and was glad I didn't settle for any of the ones I'd seen before it.

Re: How many halls did you look at before you booked 'the one?'

we only looked at 3 the rest we ruled out prior to going since we were budgeted. DH loved our hall and pushed to book it, but i wanted to keep looking. After doing the tasting we didn't look any further.
