Fox Hollow Menu Meeting!

Fox Hollow Menu Meeting!

Yay I'm so excited! I finally got in touch with someone from Fox Hollow about why I hadn't gotten any info about my menu and seating, etc…turns out they had my phone number totally wrong and never input my email. OH WELL I spoke with an incredibly nice woman and I'm going next Tuesday.

Aside from menu options and I think linen choices, what should I be prepared to decide? FH won't be with me because it's hard enough for me to get out to LI, let alone FH with so many grad classes.

Are there any questions or things you think are important to cover in the month before the wedding that couldn't be taken care of later? Anything else to make sure we have in writing?

I'm so excited :D

- Vegan and GF options
- Info on what's provided for candy buffet
- what time we're allowed on grounds, etc for pics

Yes they do! That's part of our favor, along with a We Love Photobooths open air booth. But I don't remember if we have to bring our containers or they have them….last time I asked was almost two years ago haha. I know that they will NOT serve any candy that has been opened in any way!

I wouldn't mind the piggies either, so I'll definitely let you know!! We went to a wedding of our friends' and they had pigs in a blanket, mini burgers, mini hot dogs and mini reuben sandwiches and FH was obsessed with them - so if we can swing it, I'd love to do something similar!

When I had talked to my BM at the Fox he told me that I was not allowed to bring in any candy for a candy bar for liability reason... interesting

Well they better not change their story now because it's my favor. All I was told was packages can't be opened beforehand.

When I asked about it this is what I was told.... ' Hi Bri,

We have a great retro candy cart for $500 +,+. We also have a great compliment to that, an old fashioned Ice cream soda fountain bar where we make Shakes, egg-creams etc... That is also $500 +,+.

We do not allow candy to be brought in by the client. Liability.

Hope this helps. If you want to add to your affair, contact Jen Nazarian, the Menu Finalist at 516-921-1415 ext: 2740.

That's crazy because when I spoke to Bruce a few months ago at an expo about the candy bar he said as long as I provide the containers, candy, etc. I can have a candy bar. Their ice cream soda fountain bar is awesome.....the ice cream station they provide is so disappointing lol

Wow now I am confused. I don't know if I should say something and/or re ask about it.

That's exactly my thought. I wanted it as just a little something extra. Not to spend 500 plus tax and gratuity.

I can't believe they are like that about candy! Wow....when we booked the Fox Hollow (with Ken), I told them part of our cocktail hour plan was to have some of my mom/grandma's homemade perogies served - along, of course, with the usual cocktail hour fare that the venue does. I'm half polish and really wanted that side of my heritage represented, food wise - the Fox Hollow already does a good amount of italian food. I had to practically beg for the ok!! The only way we got the go-ahead is if my mom signs a waiver that if anyone gets sick, the Fox Hollow is not liable. Good Lord

Just spoke to them - we can bring in our own candy and stuff but it's a $200 charge for the set up. Now I don't even know if it's worth it :/

That's a great question! I'm not sure…I think they'll probably find a way to still charge for it, so it's best to call I think.
