Went to the Westbury Manor last night to do our menu!

WOW, I had such an anxiety attack when we were there...it HIT me how quickly it is all happening.

We had a really hard time deciding on the food for the CH and also the dessert choice..we didn't realize we could choose one in addition to the cake!
We also had a tough time choosing the linens, chair sashes, etc...we are such indecisive people, lol!

Congrats!! That's exciting, you're getting so close!!!!

So, what did you decide on?

Leah....you evil little thing...what did you choose...

I'm relying on you to find out if I have to make any last minute changes!

no evil intentions whatsoever!

For the CH we chose:
eggplant rollatini
chicken francese
fried calamari
sausage & peppers
paella
pierogies (FH and I are SO excited about this!!)
carving table: marinated sirloin steak
rigatoni ala vodka
Oriental Wok (shrimp srit-fry with pea pods, baby corn, etc. displayed with chinese food containers and fortune cookies..FH was really into the fortune cookies!)

We decided to go with a combo appetizer (as oposed to salad & appetizer): citrus vinagrette, which is sweet oranges, fresh berries and sliced tomatoes on a crown of mesclun greens, champagne vinaigrette

dinner- guests have 7 choices

dessert is Heart of Sorrento..which I believe is vanilla ice-cream in a white chocolate heart ..and I forget what else but it sounded YUMMY!

chococlate fountain: got this free from that panel discussion I went to

cake: marble with canolli and chocolate mousse filling.

By this point I was really overwhelmed and the cake was FHs choice..I'm not sure what I think about it! But we can change it soon if we want.

it goes to show just how much there is to choose from there...

we only chose 2 of the same dishes! (fried calamari and marinated sirloin steak!)

it all sounds DELISH!

I KNOW .... HOW DID YOU GET THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN FOR FREE I WANT IT TOO!!!
THE 7 CHOICES ARE GREAT... I NEVER HEARD OF GUESTS GETTING THAT MANY CHOICES....

ooh! how did you get free chocolate fountain!! I would so prefer free CF to $6 a head CF!

I was also thinking, I booked 2 years ago.....since my FH and I are REALLY indecisive, and we don't want to take an entire day of their time, should I go pick up the food choices so we can start figuring it out? What do you girls think?

and CONGRATS!! on picking everything out!!

I can answer for Leah on the choc fountain, b/c I got it too. A few WM brides getting married in '06 were invited to attend a Q & A session with owner Jerry Scotto around the 1 year anniversary of him taking over the WM from the Scotto Bros.

for those of us that attended, we were given the choice out of 3 or 4 upgrades for free. One of the choices was a chocolate fountain.

In answer to your Q about picking up the packet, YES, it was extremely helpful and time efficient to have had that info in advance (I did my menu a week or so ago) definitely stop by and pick it up.

ivory, burgundy, and gold, I think.

but thank you i will definately go pick up an updated packet!!
