I looove desserts but is the Viennese hour worth the cost for brides who have done it at Jericho Terrace? If I have say 175 guests (not sure final headcount yet), $15 per person with 18% gratuity is over $3,000. I know it's usually done after cake cutting at the end, and then a lot of people might have already left too. I have heard some halls allow a lower anticipated number of people for Viennese hour, but JT doesn't allow it.
They suggest that I move up cake cutting to shortly after dinner, and then Viennese hour shortly after that so that guests are still primarily there.
I know it's a personal choice as to whether it's 'worth it' but it would help to get feedback from JT brides who have done it as to your thoughts on worth/value. Wedding extras tend to add up, as I'm sure you guys know all too well!!
Thanks!

Re: Jericho Terrace Viennese hour - worth it?
VH was worth it. we got the price down a few dollars when we did our contract & they even threw in for free the cotton candy station i wanted they surprised me that night. all the guest's loved it. jericho terrace does such an amazing job with everthing. my cake top got misplaced that night so they ordered me a new one :)

Hmm JT just told me it adds an extra hour...wonder if their policy changed?
hmmm i guess it does but i realized now that we added the extra hour bc we felt it was just short period. THey include the 4 hours with CH. So for example our CH was 7:30-8:30pm, then the reception itself was 8:30-11:30 which is 3 hours and VH would've started at 11:30. I felt it was just real short and although ch and VH are included in those hours, those are hours not spent dancing. Plus with 3 hours for just reception, if you add the speeches, dancing, cake cutting, garter toss, bok toss and all that it cuts down on time. So thats why i added an extra hour on top of the VH.
