Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me....

I got engaged on 2/14/06 and I want to plan a wedding for 9/06 or 11/06.

The date that I really want is 9/5/06...this is a tuesday...the day after Labor Day. My parents aren't to pleased with this date and it's driving me crazy!!

Can anyone just give me a clear vision! Please list some pros and cons of having a wedding on this day......I would really appreciate it

Thanks,
Q

Well,

Yesterday...I went to Westbury Manor, Sand Castle and Swan Club.....they gave me really good prices for the Tuesday after Labor Day. The range was from $55-$65...those prices were fine....At westbury manor when I inquired about Nov 11...which is a saturday the cost was $120.00 pp.... and that is for the same menu that they would have given on a tuesday.....

What to do?

We have Fox Hollow for $89 including tax/grat for a Sunday Night in April.

The reason the price doubled at WM was b/c it's a Saturday.

I would honestly steer clear of a Tuesday.

Thanks for the honesty....

I will definitely look into April...but maybe I should stay clear from the Easter holiday.....that may hike up the cost pp...

Q

Easter weekend, particularly good friday is cheaper... obvious there are religious observances but if that doesn't hinder you, it may be an affordable option.

Re: Hey guys....I really need some help

That is a good idea....thanks

I definitely have to look into that.......

What about Easter Sunday?

EVERYONE will be working that day coming off a 3 day weekend. Really bad day to have a wedding. JMHO

You may be better off with a winter Friday night...even late Feb or early March.

Yes..very easy to get to also...
Their prices are good, depending on what you get...

Re: Hey guys....I really need some help

how was your friend able to get 70 pp including tax and gratituties.....most places told me a set price let's say 60.00 then an additional 18% gratituity and 8.62 or 8.25 for the sales tax......

Am I being robbed?

Check out Coral House.

Stick to an off month and a weekend date. You want your guests to be able to come - don't do a weeknight or a holiday, like Easter....
