It's been alright......I feel like they're very strict on their packages....if you want to change anything, there's an additional cost. And definitely important to have EVERYTHING written in your contract...even if they say you don't have to....make sure they do.

We recently found out that there's an additional charge for the baker to create a cake that's not in their book (their book has all of 5 cakes in it)...even if it is very similar to one they have....and when we first signed, the bm told us it shouldn't be a problem.

We also recently found out that a few alcohol brands we thought would be considered top shelf, actually isn't for them.

But, FH has been to a few weddings there and says it's always great....the food's amazing, so I'm not worried at all.

Re: Villa Lombardi's brides

The rates range from 79.95 for M-Th to 139.95 for sat evenings during popular seasons. You can get discounts depending on the amount of people guarenteed as well.
Personally I am paying 79.95++ because I am getting married the night before Thanksgiving which is a wednesday night. I do have their list price at home, if I think of it I'll look, these days I have a hard time remembering anything!

You are having 700 people and they still aren't working with you? The day I booked it must have been your wedding they were telling me about. Not personal details, but how they had a wedding coming up for 700 people and how they opened the rooms and stuff like that.
