BCC is a great deal!!
The credits if you do not use the package vendors are:
$1,000 photo

$500 flowers - CP's and BP flowers
$500 limos (2 white stretch for 3 hours)

I have not found ANYONE offering the same pricing as in the BCC package for all of the sevices. And the bartender that worked the tasting event makes a great long island iced tea per FI. LOL

We liked Brentwood but its far out - Suffolk and we live in BK. The flowers I like are $30 - $45 per table extra (15+ tables).
$30 per table for 1 1/2 dozen roses.
$45 per table for 2 dozen roses.
1 dozen roses is $15 extra.
The package includes mums.
The flowers on display were all silk but the actual wedding flowers will be real.
The limo's we want would be an extra $480 for a Rolls to take us to the Brooklyn Bridge for pics after the reception and an extra $100 or so to take the bridal party back to the hotel in a 12 passenger.
The package includes 2 six passanger limos which can take us to the hall. We would get married at the hall so no church waiting time involved.
We liked the food alot. FI went back for seconds of the seafood scampi. He did not like the pepperoni though - one of his favorite snacks. I guess it was a different brand?
I really liked the short ribs and pasta stations. The skirt steak (carving) was pretty good too. I did not try the turkey carving station though.
The DJ, Lou, did not play very long....under 20 minutes really. We did not have a party crowd at all so lots of people were sitting. Even we sat during the set since we were 30 minutes late and trying to sample the food.
The invite book is HUGE - great selection. They had samples of a lot of invites we have ordered. However, FI said he would like to get something made up if possible - just to be different. Not sure how that will go over though since I'm sure custom invites are expensive.
The set up was very nice - 10 tables with 10 guests at each. It was the package set up for 100 guests.
I thought the gazebo was very pretty. The flowers are beautiful even in this cold weather.
The carpets need a lot of work, probably replacement. FI is really into that stuff. They have at least 5 weddings on Fri - Sunday so the place gets tons of traffic so I can see why the carpets look worn.
