went to Thatched Cottage today for a tasting w/the rents and I/they loved the place. The food was excellent btw.
so i went after to Fox Hollow and absolutely fell in love with it. I don't care to much for the grounds b/c there aren't much of it, but the room for the ceremony, CH room and Winter Pavillion room are basically what i'm looking for.
i have no idea how to decide between the 2.
Thatched has an amazing outside ceremony site and CH plus the Reception room is bigger BUT read my description of Fox Hollow above. They're both around the same price too. Fox Hollow also doesn't have a tasting and I don't believe the restaurant food is the same
Help me please :D

Like Christine, I would have LOVED LOVED LOVED to get married at Flowerfields. I heard nothing but good things and saw beautiful pictures... but the price was out of my range... and since we're paying for it ourselves, there was no way to 'Make it work' (tm-Tim Gunn)
After we visited 5 other reception halls Fox Hollow had everything we were looking for and it was in our price range, and I love it more every time I go there.
We're taking friends of ours to dinner at Rose Hunt on Saturday -- and dropping off a deposit... I'm going to see if I can find out more about these other gardens.
Yeah I would have loved it. My parents said they would pay for it but the rest would be on us, so we would need like $20k and we don't have that. We are buying a house instead. Its whatever your priority is.

you are such a sweetheart Jess, thanks. If I could give you a 'real' hug i would but a virtual one has to do for now haha .
to be honest, i have a decent sized budget for the hall alone (my dad ) but i feel really bad spending that much. i can plan a WHOLE wedding for what he offered but he refuses to help me out with the dress, limo, photogs, etc, etc and just wants to use that $$ for the hall.
i did just look at Flowerfields pricing and for my night, it'd be 160 min at $150pp. lol
i am going to make an appt there AFTER I go to Fox Hollow to really compare the 2. And I figure I might not like it as much as I thought i did
However, i'm planning on inviting 125 and i'd say i won't go over $130 a person.
Anyone know what Oheka Castle's going for??
If you get married at Oheka Castle, I'm pulling an Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn and crashing that wedding. I LOVE that place, too.
