Hi Girls! I just have a question for you...FH and I have looked at a bunch of places. We are seriously considering Chateau Briand however we were told that we would have to have our CH start at 8:30pm. I am a little worried that it is too late however it is a Friday. It is just that if the CH is from 8:30-9:30 then the reception is from 9:30-1:30 people won't be eating until soooo late and it is just very late for people. What do you think is 8:30 to late?
i think its a little late as well our CH starts at 730 on a Saturday and i thought that was a little late
i think it's too late... it's fine to have the wedding extend past midnight, but most ppl expect to eat much earlier than that.
i do think its on the late side but its fine i wouldnt worry too much about it
I think it is because we are having it on a Friday. I don't know. I spoke with Susan today and she was like maybe we can move it to 6ish and sounded pretty confident about it. But she called her boss and called me back and unfortunately she can not. Honestly, even it the party started at 8pm I feel it is a little better than 8:30 lol My mom said though that 8:30 on a friday night in the summer is really not that late and some people might leave early but others will party until the lights come on. I'm going to call tomorrow and beg even if it is just a little earlier to 8.
My cocktail hour starts at 830 as well... we were told that this is the startt time for our room bc the room we r having is the ceremony room as well and i guess they dont want it tied up who knowss.. i was stressed about the time but we r doing a friday night n i figure ppl will just have extra time to get home from work and most r off on saturday..
ya late..i know at weddings my parents have gone to, they would leave early if it was dragging on too long...dinner being served at 10 pm,,that wouldnt fly with a lot of people..even if they arent going home until 12 am-1 am.

IMO, unless its a thursday or sunday wedding... i dont really get why thats too late
The good news is that I spoke with Susan, one of the BM at CB, and explained that 8:30pm was just really late for us. Honestly, in the summer people might not be so so opposed but for our grandparents and older guests its a little late. Susan really has been great she called me on 2 seperate occasions to let me know what she can do for me. I know its her job but I really feel she is trying to work with me and make me happy. Lol soooo the good news is I can have the party from 7-12 in the Normandy room if I just guarantee a couple more people. So FH and I are going to go through our lists, our parents lists and hopefully I will be a CB bride for 8/5/2011! Lol thanks girls for everyone's insight and opinions!
Good luck!! I'm sure it will all work out for you!
