Original post by OctoberPrincess2006
Hello, I just saw a Leonard's of Greatneck Thread but it has a lot of older posts on it (not that I mind, I love to read any post on Leonard's ) I know someone else had a more recent post with up to date posted wedding dates but I can't seem to find it, so.... I decided to start a new one. I will start it off

Do you know if every person got their own menu or was it 1 per table or 1 for every 2 people? Oh and it really ***** that the MD didn't help you out. Did you still have to give them a tip?

This is about the cake, can you find out what fillings they offer and find out if everyone gets one menu. Thanks!

Can someone please tell me how many people do they sit per table? I can't remember if it was 8 or 10??
Also...I did a search on the review board for leonards and there were some pics of the cakes on a few of them. I can post them tomorrow, if you want.
P.S. Congrats!! You looked great! cant wait to read your review.

To answer a few of your questions:
I meet with Ian (The 'closer' ) last week.
As for cakes: There are 2 free ones to choose. They are very basic white layered cakes. You have a bunch of fillings you can choose from. We decided to go with chocolate mouse. We really didn't care about the cake because we are having the full Venetian hour so we dont think people will really care too much about the cake.
There are other cakes you can choose from.. actually a whole book full. I think those are lke $2-3 extra pp. I dont think its worth spending the extra money if you are going to have the Venetian Hour. The free cakes they offer are decent.. believe me. Just have your florist decorate it with the colors from your centerpieces and it will be beautiful.
As fot eh number they sit per table.. I am having my reception in the Starlight Venetian room. I dont know if it is the same with all the rooms, but as far as I know, each table holds 8-12 people. Almost 2 months away for me. I cant wait. Wooo HooOO!!!!!!!!!!! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Okay girls it is my turn to go meet with the infamous IAN tonight. I am going to Leonard's at 7pm tonight.
Anything inparticular that I should ask?
Also, I am so upset that the chocolate fountain is so small. That is one question I will be inquiring about tonight.

Well it went okay. I have to say that I thought he was going to be a real jerk from what I have heard from other people's experiences but In my experience and opinion I thought he was very nice and extremely helpful.
What you do is go through everything from start to finish. The entire menu, and how your party will be run. We only have one issue to deal with and I am confident that this will be taken care of on Monday.
As far as the cakes go I must say I did not like either of them. Very boring, plain, and out dated. They were just plain buttercream cakes with your choice of fillings and a three tier cake. I chose to have the chocolate mousse filling. I just asked to use the cake and to keep it 3 tiers without the swans and without putting the stand between the last tier. (I hope that makes sense to you). I didnt want to upgrade my cake because of my v-hour.
I just hope my one issue is cleared by Monday otherwise I will not be a happy person.
