The moment you've all been waiting for..well not everyone
Original post by MrHostility
After visiting 20 some places, the search has come to an end. That's not a typo, we have actually come to an decision as far as the reception location. We will likely go to contract tomorrow. L is really excited and nervous, and so am I.
While Cheatu Briand put up a good fight, ultimately we decided to go with...
Villa Lombardi
We felt that it's theme was more what we were looking for than CB's. However I think a wedding at CB would be really awesome as well. Certainly the 2 best we saw, out of a damn lot. :ha: We also liked the larger cocktail room VL had as well.
Since we are likely to contract tomorrow, I could use the help of future Villa Brides in negotiating. If you could FM me what you were able to argue for, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I would NEVER mention your name in discussions, I'm just wonder what kinda extra stuff I can get. They don't seem to want to budge on the PP price.

We also did not negotiate anything. We just ciouldn't believe all that we were getting for the price. They took $5.00 of each person because I had said that I had heard wonderful things about them and a friend of a friend had their wedding their. As my day approaches I will let you know how everything goes. Make sure you get in for the Feb. 5 expo!

I did get an extra station, but that's all. Good enough for me. The most important thing is LovelyL loves the place, and I do as well. So all's well that ends well.

Yes, I have to say FH is very involved. I find it very cute and sweet. I'm glad to know that the day is as important to him as it is to me.

I can't believe I missed this thread! I wasn't online over th weekend
Congratulations MrHostility & Lovely L.
The hall was the easy part for me , but I was also in tears trying to find a church & untill you have those 2 things, it's like you don't really have a wedding, so I know where you are coming from.
