We have an ....

appointment with our first hall this Sunday - East Wind Caterers...I'm so excited...I know I sound corny over an appointment but its the first appointment we have and its making it so much more a reality...lol

Any tips for when we go? Should we speak to someone in particular? Is there anything we should inquire about?

Thanks

Congrats that is exciting!!
I didn't see that venue but be sure to ask them anything that pops into your mind. You may think it's a dumb question but you'll potentially be giving these people a lot of money and they should be polite and answer all your questions.

I'd say ist down and think about what is important to you...lay out of room? menu choices? only wedding? bridal suite? number of waiters per table (we wanted at least one)? number of cocktail hour stations? number of bars at cocktail hour? drink service at table--or do your guests have to line up at bar? if mnore htan one wedding on your day, but at different times, how much time between weddings? on site ceremony? area of hall for pictures? ceremony? if more lhtan one wedding at a time, are movements timed so guests don't end up with 'toher' guests? do brides pass each other on staircase, in halls? (I wouldn't like that) minimum # of guests? maximum number? (you don't want to be crowded)food tasting? butler service at cocktail hour? look at bathrooms clean? large enough? entry way...room for guests to arrive, coat check? place cards? welcoming place? will be first impression for your guests. valet parking? tips included? hidden costs like 'service charge' in addition to mandatory gratities...additonal for maitre de? meall cost for band, etc? will there be a bridal atendant? cancellation policy? what if you don't meet minimum? menu choices--number of choices? do they provide menus for tables? will person you book with be there on your day to see to arrangements you've agreed upon?

I'm sure there are more questions...these are some i remember...most of all relax! enjoy the experience! take notes...and don't be afraid to call a place back if you think of another question. Hope this helps! Good luck!
