Hi ladies...so I am trying to decide on a place for my Bridal Shower. I have seen The Melting Pot, Novita and The City Wine Cellar. Between the 3 I like Melting Pot and Novita the best. There are pros and cons about both so I thought maybe you guys could help me decide. (BTW - I am paying for it)
The Melting Pot: Pros: inexpensive ($18 or $22 per head), entire place to ourselves, great food Cons: party has to be done by 3:30, in order to hold 40-50 people, i would need two rooms and although they are big and very nice, they seem a bit seperate (manager states that on the day, no one notices)
Novita: Pros: great space, great menus/packages, discount when paying in cash, packages include alcohol ($33 or $41 pp) Cons: not fully private, at least $1k more in overall price
I really like the idea of the Melting Pot b/c it is very different. I would be opting for the salad, cheese and chocolate package. In your opinions, or for those of you who have been, is that enough food (cheese is heavy and filling)?? I would also have a select bar option (wine, beer, champaigne and mimosas).
In your honest opinions, would you think a party was cheap if all you're getting is salad, cheese and chocolate??
