Does Villa Lombardi offer your guests strawberries and champagne as they come in? I thought our banquet manager said that, not sure. Thanks.

That`s what I was told as well, and I think in the green folder we got, on the first page of the menu it says that a champagne toast is included along with a bunch of other things. :)

I'm not sure if it is upon arrival at the cocktail hour or not. I really need to ask because I think it makes it so much nicer for the guests as they arrive. If you find out before me please let me know. Thanks

I beleive I was told that when our guests enter the cocktail hour, they are greeted with champagne and strawberries. I am going there this weekend to pick up some direction cards. Maybe I can get an answer from them. I'll let you know.

I got married there, and I dont remeber. I will have to ask my parents, and some guests if they got it. I know during the toast, there are strawberries in the champagne. But when we got there, we did our pics right away so we could make our cocktail hour. That is one place you do NOT want to miss their cocktail hour.:) I was so excited they added sushi to the cocktail hour. Hubby and I LOVE it!!!

I attended two weddings there and both weddings we were offered strawberries/champagne as we walked into the gorgeous cocktail hour room.

Yes they did......

I just asked some of our guests, and parents, and they did do that, when you walk into the cocktail hour room. Sorry, i didnt remember, because as soon as we got there, we went right into pics in order to attend our cocktail hour, which I recommend you Villa brides to do.

Since you attended your cocktail hour, where did you sit in the cocktail room? Did you have a special table there? I will have only 125 people so they are not opening that additional front room.
