Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
jozieb0925, as it gets closer and closer I find more and more things I have to do! It seems a never ending list....at the same time we're trying to move into a new apartment and sell my car all at the same time. It just gets so overwhelming sometimes! Are you feeling this way?? Our dates are so close, I'm sure you are going through some of the same things as I am right now. Luckily, JT is so great about everything, that is about the only thing I don't stress about these days

Hi guys.. I am so excited to see that we have a thread going on.. I am really getting tempted to get those chair covers put on the chairs.. I am in the Dome Room as well.. I think the chair covers would look beautiful.. did anyone find out a price? Also about the cakes.. they get them from Dortonis? That bakery is wonderful! I can't wait..

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
HI ladiesI had my semi final arrangements yesterday with Anna. Apparently my former BM Frank is no longer with them and so she will be taking care of us. She is a little pushy, and deadset on what it says in your contract is what you are getting and nothing else.
I asked her about if I don't make my minimum will they throw in extras, she gave me a flat out NO! The chair covers cost approx $2-4 depending on if you want the bow or not per chair. I opted to not go with them, because they chairs look nice, but my budget just won't accomadate for those type of extras.
As far as the cake goes, unless you want to pay extra you get what they give you. If you want your florist to decorate it they can, but you are taking the chance that the florist could mess it up. I may see what my florist can do before I make any final arrangements on that.
If your guests want to show up a little early there is a cash bar available on the bottom floor. Once again she threw in my face that it costs a lot of money for these extras, blah blah blah.
If you have any questions that I haven't covered so far about this place let me know.

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
Hi Guys,I had a few minutes, so I decided to go to LIW's.
Yes. I am totally stressing.. We just moved into a new place as well...actually that's where I am right now. Between that, the wedding, and both my FI and I are fininshing up our masters..I'm about to go CRAZY!!! The big day is really close and I just keep trying to do things day by day and not look ahead...It's the little things that are driving me crazy though..
Welcome Belle. I'm glad you found us. fill us in on any info you have re JT.
Julestrd..the same thing happened to me. I was working with this really great guy in the beginning and later found out he left. No one told me, nothing..so I spoke to some relatives that have had MANY functions at JT and they advised me to talk to Mike. If you are unhappy with Anna..Try working with Mike. I have to say..he is pretty accommodating.
I can't wait to check out the cake selections...I hope I like them..these days i feel like I can't STOP spending money..I just keep saying..'I only get married once!!'...bad attitude!!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
A friend at work went to a wedding at Jericho Terrace this weekend - she is out of the office today but promised to tell me all about it tomorrow. She said she even took pics for me!!
I will post anything she can give me. It was her boyfriend's twin brother who got married. She could only talk a sec on the phone, but she said in short it was amazing.
As soon as she gets me details, I'll send them your way!!
I agree, if you are not happy with your new BM ask to talk to someone else!! As I posted before, I work with Mike T. and he has been nothing but accomodating. Our guest list exploded and he ended up giving us the Penthouse at no extra cost per person! He is so helpful and is patient - no one else I have dealt with at JT has been patient with me. One inparticular I spoke to once when Mike was not available was flat out rude to me. Give it a try - you never know what another BM will be willing to do for you.
Good luck!
BTW - our apartment complex is brand new and they called on Friday to tell us that it is not ready and they have to push back our move in date! We are now moving in Sept 12th and our wedding is the 19th!! Stressful...

I can't wait to here what she has to say...
I agree with some of the employees there..it's hit or miss...there was a few times I called and spoke to random people (this is b4 I spoke to mike) and there was some rude people who answered. The other person I hear really good things about and actually met and thought she was sooo nice and seemed pleasing to work with is Linda...I forget her last name, but i think she's the only linda there. She is going to be my matr'd the night of the wedding.
I hope everything works out with your place..that's awesome it's brand new!!!

Thanks exotica!! Good luck with dress shopping. That stage was really tough. I know what you mean when it comes to the cost. On top of that, there are sooo many dresses to choose from.
Can't wait to pick out my cake tomorrow..

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
Ok Ladies! I have spoken to my friend at work who went to the wedding at JT last weekend.She said it was great. The waiters were very attentive. The bridal attendants were very helpful. The food was really good.
A couple of tips that she pointed out.
1. The bride and groom set the tone of the wedding - she said they were not dancing or getting into the party so no one else was really dancing either. They had a band who kept taking breaks all the time (she did not know the name of the band) which did not help the situation
2. She said she felt the Vieanese (sp??) hour killed the wedding -they brought it out, told the band to stop playing and brought up the lights. Everyone started to leave.
3. She said the groom's brother kept slipping the waiters who were taking care of the bridal party table extra tip so they would be extra attentive and make sure they were well taken care of. I said I thought we paid them enough already...but just an idea.
They had the cocktail room in the room that looks like an outside garden at the back - the reception was in the Penthouse. She said she had been to many other weddings on Long Island and this one was most impressive.
BTW - Work had a shower/bachelorette party for me today! It was great. We went to Mangi y Bevi's for lunch as a surprise and they bought me some naughty gifts
Slightly awkward with your male boss sitting next to you
but it was fun!! They had me up dancing on a chair. Just had to share. Happy Friday tomorrow - keep us updated!

Re: Going to Jericho terrace today, UPDATED w/Pics
Thanks Paulsbride.Those tips are good to know. Sounds like the issues weren't really JT, but the band. Maybe by the time VH came, the guests got bored or tired.
I def. feel like I am paying enough as well, but if tipping the waiters is the trick, than that is what I am doing..
I am going to Mangi e Beve for my BP also. How was it? That's so nice your work did that. I take it you work in the city..I do too!
Well I'm off to JT and to pick out my cake. I will fill you guys in later this evening or tomorrow am.
