Seafood/Raw Bar Anyone....

Original post by AS

Is anyone adding or got the raw bar for the CH. I dont know if I should get it. A waste of money? It looks so nice decorated in a Nautical display. I am getting a variety of different seafood dishes at the CH anyways but not oysters, lobster nothing raw. Is it worth it? Maybe when I give in my second to last payment they will add it in for me at half price.

I honestly have no idea cause when I asked how much extra that would be he said he would include it at no extra charge.

They didn't give us an add-ons menu either



yeah bc the seafood bar is about $22 per person at most places, thats a HUGE save



At my RH its $25 pp. Thats like $5500 extra.



Tell me about it, and i have $350-400 guests



WOW!!!! and I thought having 250 people is alot. If I leave it up to my parents and the inlaws to add people then my list would prob be somewhere around 350.. I'll have every mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, niece, nephew, 10th cousin etc etc

I love the seafood boat - it's such a nice touch!! I wish my hall had that... we get the ice sculpture instead...

Great idea about the passed sushi - we asked my RH to pass California rolls and they said yes but I want to add another roll. You think they'll do it after we've already signed the contract?

Re: Seafood/Raw Bar Anyone....

Re: Seafood/Raw Bar Anyone....

not sure really. We kinda just heard 'I'll throw it in for free' and got psyched! I know he listed everything for us but that was almost a full year ago and I don't remember now

I know it has the basics, shrimp, clams, scallops, oysters and I'm pretty sure it has crabs and lobster too.

for the price they're charging though I'm sure JT's is bigger

No bc your place probably charges the same...from what i found most charge $22 and some higher

Yes they will pob add in whatever you want after you signed the contract. Well at least my RH, because when I was meeting with my BM and signing the contract, I asked if them if I wanted to add the raw bar later on, is that possible and they said I can add whatever I want along the way.

Re: Seafood/Raw Bar Anyone....

I want to do a seafood bar, but I also want to do a viennese, I don't think I can do both so I think I'll go with the Viennese.
I seriously want every single add-on that my hall offers, although I know that the standard package will be more than enough. I'm just a greedy bride
