So my mom and I were talking about my shower today. I think we decided on a place and weekend! The only thing is, there are many menus listed on their website and differing prices.
There is a bereavement menu, which is a salad, pasta, choice of 3 entrees and dessert for $24 per person. Then, there is a bridal shower menu and the only different is there is a choice of 5 entrees for $40 per person. We are going in to talk to them because I think 3 entree choices are enough for a luncheon and really what is the difference. The guests will still have salad, pasta, entree and dessert!

what places are u looking into on si? i need to start looking for a place for mine. i was thinking of real madrid on forest cuz we just had my mothers 50th there and it was nice for $25 a person.
We had my e-party at Da Noi on Fingerboard, so that is an option. We are looking at the Lake Cafe next week. I was at a few showers the past 2 weeks. One was at Ruddy and Dean's right by the SI Yankees ballpark and it was great. I went to one at the Marina Grand in Great Kills Harbor last week and that was good too. I also like Bocelli's and Cafe Luna.
we had my sisters sweet 16 at marina grand it was nice except for the flat soda lol. its a nice area too...i didnt know ruddy and deans had a party room ive never been in there so yea i guess i shouldnt lol
It's upstairs and there is an outside deck. We had a brunch and there were about 75 people there.
wow that sounds nice ive heard alot of good things about that place. ive heard arianas is nice. i went there for a sweet16 a looong time ago but my coworker works there as a 2nd job and she says the food is amazing.

One of my friends had her 30th in the loft room at Ariana's. The food was great and it was gorgeous. The bar area looked great. I was actually thinking I would love a Friday night shower. One of my cousins had one and we had so much fun. We partied and went out after.

I want a tea party theme, but we will see. I was thinking of long tables with all different tea pots down the middle.
