We met w/ Joe the Banquet Manager at The Swan Club. We were there for nearly 2 hours going over everything! We chose our menu (our entrees will be filet mignon medallions, chicken francaise, salmon, and duck, with a veggie dish available on request) and our cake (marble w/ raspberry filling) and our table linens and all. Joe was a doll to work with! He said he's going to email me descriptions of all our entrees so I can put them on my DIY menus. He gave me the seating chart and the placecards so I can start working on those once the replies start coming in. It all feels so real now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am meeting with Joe today!!!!!!
Any ?'s I should ask?

He really is a sweet guy! I had a TON of questions for him. What room are you guys in? We're in the Camelot room and the only thing I don't LOVE is the way the room is set up. We spent alot of time discussing possibly rearranging the tables and stuff. I'm not thrilled w/ their cake options - they can't even do each tier a different flavor/filling - but we decided on a marble cake w/ raspberry filling. As for the shape/style, we chose the square 'crooked' style b/c it is very different looking :) He's gonna have the baker decorate it with fall-colored flowers, so it should be pretty! Have fun today when you meet with him!

He was a great guy. Really took his time and went trhough everything.
We are also in the Camelot room...so pretty. The only thing is we have about 200 people so we were trying to see the best way to put the tables....hope it works out!!!!!
