So yesterday I met with Jennifer because my nerves are off the charts. I am the first bride having my reception in the Somerley and its a few weeks away! When I went, all i saw was a huge tractor, cement and thats it!!!! My father keeps telling me that its not going to be ready and from the looks of it, it does not look like anything is really done BUT Jennifer assured me that the hard part is over and that it will be ready by the end of March. I am almost thinking of changing my room to the Garden Terrence. I don't know if i want to be the first bride ( i have written too many posts ). Should i change my room or just wait and wait as usual and hope what was promised happens? Any advice would help. I want to be able to walk in the room and come up with ideas and feel the energy. Its so hard to do that with the mock video. Am I being too paranoid? I mean my wedding is nine weeks away! Did you hear anything?

Hey brides!
Aw, thanks for thinking of me. Yes, there is some news! They are 85% done. My wedding is in eight days but they have already done most of the work. All they have to do is put down the floors and work on the garden area. They are also working on the bridal suite. My compensation is lots of extra food (lobsters etc). You know at this point we are ok with that, as long as everything runs smoothly. I will share what i see on Saturday! Thanks for asking!! I am still extremely nervous.
so happy for you! i hope everything works out

Re: Somerley Brides at Fox Hollow
Hey!!!
My wedding is on Saturday and i just wanted to share to you all, that Fox Hollow has kept their word and more. They were still working on it last weekend but i am so confident that it will be ready. They spoiled us with food and extra attention when we visited. We asked to see the room so many times and they were so patient. I admit i am going to miss some of the employees there because they have been working with us, especially after we freaked. Mike Tinelli has bent over backwards for us. He is passionate about what he does and has worked really hard to make us feel rewarded after the self induced stress. When we visited, i actually got choked up a few times and Anthony and I shed some tears on our car ride back home because it is feeling oh so real and Fox Hollow hit us with a bang. Two weeks ago we were still nervous and not too pleased and just this Sunday, they really shocked us. Thank you FOX HOLLOW. Thanks ladies for all your comments and support. Somerley brides you will be happy. I didn't take pictures because i want you to see the finish product with photos after it is done. I promise to post photos of the room ASAP. I will probably just post a few photos of ours right before i go on my honeymoon, so you all can see it right away. I am so nervous and so excited!!! The Somerley is finally ready! Its a big day Saturday for Anthony and I and Fox Hollow! I am excited to see what they have done in the last couple of days. I am trembling! hahaha I am sorry for spilling so much on this site. I feel like i am writing in my diary.

Re: Somerley Brides at Fox Hollow
Oh my goodness ladies. we just got back from our honeymoon and i want my review about The Somerley room to be nearly perfect with photos of ours and stories of the whole process written in great detail. Since we just got home from the airport, i am so sleepy and unfort, have to wake up early in the morning for work :.( I wish i can rewind and be back in my dress with my bridesmaids helping me to prepare, prepare to marry the love of my life but tomorrow its back to my office.
Fox Hollow accomplished what they promised and more. First of all, the room is more than beautiful and ready! It has that rustic, vintage, charm that i have always wanted to have in my wedding plans. It feels bigger than all the other rooms. This is the MASTER room. My photographers took amazing shots of the room too and i would love to post them for the Somerley brides. They photographed the rooms with the tables and centerpieces, all in detail. They also photographed cocktail hour in the Somerley. The entire Fox Hollow FAMILY, i mean every worker there had made themselves known to us. We felt like we were leaving a family and i cried like you wouldn't believe when we had to check out from the hotel. We grew to love them so much, its insane. I want to write a nearly perfect review that can come close to showing future Fox Brides that your day will be taken care of...because Fox Hollow will keep their promises. Why? Because they are passionate about what they do and these guys love one another. Its all about team work in addition to loving what you do.
ONE ADVICE i have to give you before i re-continue is that you must live in the moment. I know you are nervous and thats ok BUT do not take anxiety drugs or drink too much, Step back, breathe and notice the faces around you or your day will FLY FAST. This is not a review. I will type up a better one this week and will explain why i say this.
Here is a link from our wedding with some of Fox Hollow's family members. Please ignore our exhaustion. We jumped around the entire night! In this link below, Fox Hollow awarded my husband and I with hard hats designed for us because we were the first to marry there...you all know the story anyway. Thanks again girls! check out the link or go to Fox Hollow's website, under weddings, and then click letters of appreciation. We are the top video on there that mentions the Somerley. Hope you all are having a good time but please enjoy every moment of it because it flies by and you won't remember a lot but to ease your mind, you will remember the most important memories , no matter what.
I am so so so happy for you! Congratulations! I wish you and your husband a lifetime full of happiness.
