Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

So happy i booked my church...now hall

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

YAY!!! So you booked the hall!!! Thats a start! Better get on it with the hall... I heard good things about Verdis... I saw you asked that on the thread.. what happened with Leonards? And Riccardos?!

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

Im so happy!!!!! I visited Verdi's but they dont have a bridal suite and they give you alot of food. I didn't get visit Leonard's because they close at 5 and my cousins wife gets out of work late so we couldnt go. Im not sure of Riccardo's i dont know its just something .At least i have a set date

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

What kind of quote did you get from Verdis? Aside from no bridal suite any other issues? My RH didnt have a bridal suite either and all worked out fine. I dont think you always need one (perhaps if you are having ceremony there) or ?

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

Hola Princessa, Congrats to you and yours !

So far, to represent our culture, we are having a live Salsa band to represent my PR heritage and my FH is Argentine and we are doing the Waltz aka La Danca,, which is a waltz done to this song, I forget the name. I'll get back to you on that ! OH It's the the theme song from Space oddessey 2001, if that rings a bell. Anywho, it starts off with just him and I dancing, and as as the song progresses, people cut in, starting with the immediate family first, then everyone else. The point is to have both family and friends come together and exchange greetings and warmth in honor of new friends and family. How about you?

They offered me $60 pp before tax and gratuity. They offered alot of food. I was nervous about the no bridal suite, how did it work out for you? I am not getting maried there i would have the church take pics and then go to the rh. I've heard from other brides that it wasn't necessary, i went to a brand new rh its on 69th st by Queens blvd it's called the Elite Palace and it was really really nice but the banquet manager wasnt on site and i couldn't get a price but it had a real South Beach feel. It even had a groom suite.

They offered me $60 pp before tax and gratuity. They offered alot of food. I was nervous about the no bridal suite, how did it work out for you? I am not getting maried there i would have the church take pics and then go to the rh. I've heard from other brides that it wasn't necessary, i went to a brand new rh its on 69th st by Queens blvd it's called the Elite Palace and it was really really nice but the banquet manager wasnt on site and i couldn't get a price but it had a real South Beach feel.

Not bad!! ( 60pp ) I think the bridal suite can be worked out.. meaning it will still go smoothly without one.. my original RH didnt have one and I didnt even think twice... I heard good things about verdis.. Good Luck!

o ok

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

No having a bridla suite worked just fine for me, we arrieved 20 minutes prior to grand entrance and had to wait another 15 for my mother to arrieve, she got lost going to the hall, which by the way she'd been to 3 times before!!!

We waited at the banquet managers office, and a few of our guests saw us, but I wasnt one of those brides that felt the need to make a grand entrance and have no one see her....lol

Thank you so far that is my #1 choice but i am going to take a look at Leonard's because my cousin's wife knows ppl there so maybe i can get a deal .I figured that i will be taking pictures during the cocktail so i really wouldnt need the bridal suite anyway. They have a maitre'd to serve you.
