No absolutely not, give them a call. Call a bunch and make as many appts as people have possible.

absolutely not -- some will tell you to probably come in without an appointment. Most have more than one banquet manager on duty. Have fun!!!!

Re: i need quick help

I just called places up and asked to speak to someone for planning a ceremony/reception. They will connect you to the banquet manager. I started by giving the following info :
-Date & approx time of day
-Planning a reception or ceremony
-Number of people
-Sit down or Buffet Affair

Then I asked for an idea of their prices per person and what is included in each package. For instance if your doing a ceremony you want to know if the runner, candlebra, alter etc. is included. What type of decorations is included such as centerpieces etc.

I would say that 80% of the places I called gave me prices over the phone and the rest I had to visit in person. Hope this helps.

Re: i need quick help

what places do you think i should take a look at? i think im either doing a brown and pink wedding or a safari/african/woodsy theme. so something not too bright.

Re: i need quick help

depends on how many guest you intend on having and what your looking to spend per person...

Re: i need quick help

I think that is your personal preference. You can make any theme/color scheme work in mostly all places. You need to go and get a feeling. I went to one place before selecting my location and I just got a bad vibe. They didn't want to help me recreate my dream wedding. It all depends on you. Its your day and you need to go see for yourself.
