Is anyone going to the showcase on 3/31?

My FH and I will be there





Grrr They never let me know of upcoming showcases. Im getting really aggravated. They never fail to let me know when I have a payment due but when it comes to other stuff Im not in the loop.

Who'd you book?

I'm thinking of calling my BM and telling her that it is really annoying that we are never told of the showcases...

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

Does CH ever have food at their showcases or anything? I hear they dont do tastings so I need someway to find out what the food is like. Word of mouth says its good but I want to know first hand. I have to see if I can get one of my friends to come with me to Tuesdays showcase. Ugh I also have my 3rd payment due on Wednesday.

Hi all,
I'm new to this site. Congrats to all the CHCC brides to be!!
I recently booked Crest Hollow for May 14,2010 in the Plaza room with an outdoor CH and me and my FH couldn't be happier.

As for the showcases at CHCC they are having smaller ones I think without food because too many people were coming just for free food and drinks and not booking anything. The most recent showcase I asked my BM about and he told me not to bother because he didn't recommend any of the vendors highly. I appreciated his honesty.

I saw a lot of people booked Patken photography and I was wondering if anyone looked at (Fine) (Art)FA because they are one of the house vendors?

We are still shopping around for music. Is anyone getting a band? We can't decide between a band and a DJ.

For the poolside cocktail hours loud music is not allowed. We were very disappointed. You can only have instrumental...like violin or something along those lines. I personally wanted a live steel pan band =(

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

They don't allow the dj for the cocktail hour outside. I'm having a violin and guitar for the ceremony and I don't know if this is even allowed for the cocktail hour.

I believe you can have a guitar, just not electric guitar.

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

you can have music as long as it is not ampliphied. so you can not have the dj play but you can have an instrumental piece playing

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

what about music for ceremony outside??

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

We hired a Keyboardist to play for our ceremony outside! But as far as cocktail hour, they said you wont be able to hear the violinist over the waterfall? Could that be true? lol

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

I believe the reasoning was for the residents as well. Hard to picture when they have a lot of grounds but drums apmpliphied must be loud. We are having carribean drums and they said that would be fine. I am guessing they have their reasons.

Caribbean Drums? do you mean steel pan?

Are you having this for the outdoor cocktail hour or outdoor ceremony?

Re: Crest Hollow Brides

The thing is I don't want to spend more money for a small flute band if we can't hear them. I just cant imagine people at the cocktail and their be no music? I don't know lol
