Is this the one that costs $30 to attend?

$20 each to attend but it includes wine, champagne, appetizers. I really want to see the fashion show by Bridal Reflections with all of the new wedding gowns & BM dresses!

I would but I have to WORK! I hate Tuesday/Thursday nights

I'm going with my fiance. We went to the one in September and had such an awesome time. The food is sooooo good! We drank so much champagne and so many cosmos (all included in the price of admission) The appetizers and the desserts (including two chocolate fountains - one white and one milk) are amazing!

Also be sure to check out the crazy floral arrangements in the vendor room, and go upstairs to check out the hotel rooms. (Wow, I sound like I work there )

I think the bench beside the toilet is a bit odd





And what is even more amazing is the renovations. The place was in shambles in 1984 and it took 4 years just to fix the roof with slate purchased from the same quarry as the original slate roof tiles in like 1919.

And get this, the library is not made of wood at all. I was in the room and never realized that it's made of wood grain plaster!!!!! Apparently the owner/builder had a great fear of fire so he had the place built of as much plaster & steel as possible so it would not burn down.

Although it's way more expensive, the current owners decided to replicate the wood grain plaster instead of using wood paneling.
