Yes, they're prices for may and june were the same.

I met with both Nick and Lou on separate occasions...First time we went to look for the wedding and met with Nick, he was sooo friendly, helpful and great, but we didn't pick CLM. Its a great place it was nothing against it, but we had to rule it out right away because their maximum is 300 and we needed a bigger room.

Then when looking for a location for our e-party, well after months of looking for a different type of location other than a catering hall and nothing good coming out of that, we said why not try CLM...That time we met with Lou, and he is also so nice and helpful...They're both great guys and great to work with

So, made 8 appointments this weekend to look at RH!! I'm excited, any advice from anyone on crucial things I should ask or look for, so scared of missing some major detail... Also went o RK bridal and found my dress and bridesmaids dress without any problem, I recommend if you can tune out the noise and the crowd...

You probably know all of the regular questions to ask like how many waiters, pricing, etc...but one thing that was really important to me in searching for a RH was timing. I asked every reception hall how much time it took from when the 1st plate is served to when the last plate is served at the reception for dinner. I have been to too many weddings where some peoples plates were just about to be cleared while others hadn't even been served yet. It looks really bad when that happens, so get a good idea as to how long it takes.
