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 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



ME TOOO, I want it allll, alot of brides do. I have the Viennese etc etc and everything else, and now all I need is the the fish boat to complete it all and it will make me a happy bride No bridezillas here

I added it.. Both my family and FH;s family LOOOOOOOOVE fish. So it all depends on what you think your guest will like.


I upgraded to EVERYTHING Villa's had to offer. Plus he threw in A LOT for free. So I am having a monster of a wedding.

I was considering doing this. It would be another $10 a person for us. but it comes in a boat with ice sculptors. I dont want ice sculptors as I think they aer kinda silly. So money and sillyness combined, I think we are going to not do it- mostly due to the money. But, I think if it were there, it would be a big hit as far as people enjoying eating those. We actually tried really hard to get it thrown in when we first booked but they wouldn't budge as they said they wont do this for anyone... which isn't true as I see they have done this for other people- ohhh well.

I love the way it looks when it is displayed, but I feel like it's a waste because not everyone likes lobster, clams, etc.

We are going to do the raw bar minus the lobster for $10 pp as opposed to $20. Maybe you can work a deal that way...It will only be shrimp, clams and oysters, but it comes with an ice sculpture

I love the idea of having the Sushi added on as a passed item...GREAT idea!!! I might be able to talk FH into that.

WOW...most catering halls charge $20 - $22 for the seafood bar??? Flowerfield only charges $16pp for the 'Jewel of the Seas'...aka...seafood bar. I feel like a got a deal Well...Irishsweetheart got it thrown in...I'm a little jealous and that boat is super cute!

I love when people share their good ideas. I am going to ask my RH to just have shrimp, oysters, clams and crab, I can do without the lobster and that will cut the price. But I went to my friends wedding though and she had lobster and that was the first thing people went for, but they had to clean it which got a little messy. Or maybe I can say add in the lobster and shrimp but nothing else.

We added ours at the last minute. Although it was very pricey, looking back I'm so glad we went through with it because it was such a hit! Everyone was talking about how wonderful the seafood station was.
