My 1st RH tonight girlies!!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time Hopefully I'll be as excited about the Swan Club after seeing it as I have been for the past month or so Wish us luck girs!!!

***UPDATE***

The staff is soo nice and not pushy whatsoever... not trying to sell their ****... Thats the last thing I wanted!

FH immediately was like I love the area its in... So we went inside and had Jordana take us around. The grounds really are pretty even without the tulips!!! They are trying to sell us on the Garden room as oppossed to the Camelot room because we're not exactly sure if we'd meet the minimum for Camelot (I put together a list of 150, but needs to be added to it)

For anyone who is interested:::
Camelot min = 165, max = 220
Garden min = 120, max = 165

The garden room's cocktail hour sets up in the ceremony area which I really dont care for too much (Room itself is pretty, but I dont want both in the same room).... Camelot rooms CH is beautiful!!!!

So on that note, FH is determined to meet that 165 LOL

They have 2 different menus: (Prices are for a Sunday afternoon in Aug)
1. Silver- $70 p/p (+tax & 18% serv chrg = $89.75)
2. Platinum- $90 p/p (+tax & serv chrg = $115.35)

Basically, the difference between the 2 is that the Platinum includes:
- CH: Seafood bar, Pasta station, & an Ice Sculpture
- RH: 4 entrees as oppossed to 3, Intermezzo, & Vienesse display

*Both packages have the same food choices* So its not like theres better food on the more expensive menu

I'm so happy you loved it... the place is gorgeous and they aren't pushy... If you are going for the 150 people or 165 you should also look into the Camelot room

Yes, once they said they had our date open, I really wasnt concerned about too much ese ya know? Sorry about that!!!

SoontobemrsP can chime in for may prices at the swan club (although I'm sure she's got similar prices since its considered summer either way)

Its def cheaper than most places (except for maybe Leonards)

We are not really the type to shop around... LoL I've done so much research online... We are happy with how they dealt with us and we loved the grounds and rooms, and def the price So yes I believe we are sold LOL

I got 'mad' at FH while we were there... He already like told them in such a way that we were sold before we got the quote and I wanted to kill him I'm like... They are sooo bumping up the price....

We are going to go eat lunch there this week to try the food (its on the house) and prob will sign the contract that same day

Of course!!! Its the most gorgeous one LoL FH was like umm if we're booking here... I want to go big dog and get the nicest CH & RH roooms He cracks me up!!

The Garden room wasnt set up... all tables and chairs were on the dance floor because they just cleaned the carpet so it was hard to envision that room... But I loved that it had its own bathroom right there...

Re: Swan Club Review UPDATE

Before you sign the contract tell mike that you dont want the garden room that you want the camelot room but, you only have 150 people, i think they might be able to bring the minimum done to 150 for you

I thought that was kinda high for a sun afternoon wedding... I was expectin them to say 150... I even asked Jordana... well what happens if you cant meet the minimum? would you work with us/throw something in, etc..? And they said they would soooo... I'm booking Camelot either way... I had planned on spending around 15k for the RH & meeting the 165 would be just under that amt so I have no prob with it

We're also going to see if they will throw something in for paying with cash... We asked if they would drop the tax, but we spoke to another guy that said they dont do things like that... they are honest... But hey, doesnt hurt to ask right!?!?!
