Thanks!!!

What is provided and how much at the Vienesse hour?

---

That's in the book as well.

Fresh fruit, assorted pies,, french and italian cookies.. assorted cakes.. chocolate covered fruit and truffles. hagen daz ice cream sunday bar with all the fixins..

I may be missinga few things.. thats what I can remember

---

Is it alot tho? Should we be getting smaller cakes?

---

That's a good point.. but if it's supplied...for free.. Im going to get the one they supply...if we get a smaller cake and something is less expensive..then I'll do that... but I thought the cake was included....

---

The cake is included. But, I know that I'm going to end up paying for part of mine. If I can get a smaller version and get it for free that would be better. But, I wouldn't want ppl to be without cake either.
Is the cake handed out per person or put at the Vienesse table?

---

there is a ton of dessert besides the cake, off in the side room by the bar/CH area. the wedding cake is handed out to each person, but all the other dessert they would go and get themselves.

why would you pay for a part of your cake? Mine was all included, I got it through Black Forest, and it was seriously the most delicious thing ever. Pic in my album. I didn't pay extra.

Anyone know what cake is Included and what requires the 'upgrade' Is it a certain design..or icing???

---

not the design. Fondant is extra. there are some other - I think maybe carrot cake - that is considered an upgrade.

check my album, there is a picture of my cake. I had chocolate cake with one layer of choc mousse and one layer of raspberry mouse - it was seriously delicious, and i'm not big into wedding cake at all.

Your cake was beautiful! I'm afraid that the way I want it decorated will cost more.

hmm do you have a pic? if you are worried you can meet with them at the bakery; that's what I did. it didn't seem like any decorations would be extra, it was filling and icing. but i could be wrong

How are they with negotiating extras and stuff. Im dying for the chocolate fountain but it's $700

Did they throw in anything....are they negotiable.

i thought it would be too! but really they looked at me at the bakery like I had 10 heads, like 'of course we can decorate it like that'

i want to eat the rest of my cake NOW. scr$w the one year anniversary!

at the time we signed up, they threw in the choc fountain, the welcome cart (day wedding) and the espresso cart. I'm not sure, but I think it was because DH had his yankee hat and michele was a huge fan

but it doesn't hurt to ask!

They'll throw in tons of stuff. I was super calm when I was there and I think they appreciated it. I never called asking a million ?s or went bridezilla and they rewarded me nicely!

Did any past brides get to the hall early for pictures? Were you able to take pics in and out?

---

yes, I took pics before the ceremony. um I took most of them outside and some in the bridal suite upstairs.

Just wanted to thank you both so much for answering all of our questions. It's sometimes diffiuclt to get the answers about the Riviera,,not many brides book them.

Thanks again!!!

which is one of the things I loved about them; no one I know had ever been or even heard of it! hidden gem

we love answering questions about our weddings, I'm sure - we get to relive the day a little.
