hey there ladies-

I only booked the crescent a few weeks ago and my wedding is in 4 months! I have band and photographer/videographer and nothing else yet. I've done alot of research now just have to make some quick decisions.

one question for all of you...

how much do you like or dislike the tulle in the ballroom ? I personally think that with all the renovations they did, the tulle is a little dated, does anyone agree?

i dont really mind the tulle....looks nice....

And I'm at the opposite end, I guaranteed 125 and I think I will be having 150. You should talk to her - it's worth a shot. Do you by any chance know what colors the tablecloths come in? My colors are burgundy and lime green, but I wasn't sure if they had burgundy, random question, I know

Re: crescent ladies?...

I haven't heard anything about a tasting before the wedding there, but I have had the food a lot, and it's delicious... Also been to a few weddings there and it's always been good!

Re: crescent ladies?...

If you go to dinner at the Pine Island Grill the same night they're having a wedding, they will bring up some of the CH food. My FH and I went there for my b-day on a Saturday night in December, but that night's wedding was cancelled, so we still didn't get a chance to taste anything. I've heard NOTHING but good things, but I definitely want to go again when there is a wedding being held so I can taste some of the specific wedding appetizers. I will say... their coconut shrimp is AWESOME!

Also.. what are you girls doing for the cocktail hour tables?

Re: crescent ladies?...

We didn't have a tasting. You honestly don't need one there b/c all of the food is so amazing. You can't go wrong with any of their choices.

Re: crescent ladies?...

I want to say I heard that too, but I honestly can't remember. I'm almost positive though. I don't mind I guess, the place is perfect, so the guests will have to deal!

Re: crescent ladies?...

I like it because sometimes people feel the need to get away from the music. Plus, the fireplace it out there. I really love EVERYTHING about the Crescent.
