WBM called to set up a day to pick out the menu.

Besides that, what else should I be prepared to talk about, pick out, discuss, or have to know about...etc.

Can anyone tell me about their experience.

I can't believe I have a little over 6 weeks.

You discuss any add ons, linens, cake style-fillings-etc.

I went yesterday.. It was fun but I wasn't prepared.
You will need a list of your vendors
They will ask you if u are feeding your vendors, linen colors, how many children over the age of 4-10.. hmm I'm thinking

OK..Maybe I'm out of the loop, but was it decided on who gets chair covers..is that what everyone means by linens, or just the colors you want on the table.

Good question... You should call them if its not on your contract.
I picked color for chair covers and table linens.

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

I regretted not bringing a picture of a cake I would like them to replicate. Wondering if it is just an addition of designs (scroll work) would they charge extra?
So, consider bringing some cake pics if you have an interest.
.
p.s. Maybe you could ask my question and post the answer???

TIA!

Everyone gets the chair covers now. (Yippee!) We also picked linen colors for chair covers, sashes & table.

I don't know for sure since I haven't gone yet but I dont think they replicate every cake for free. Probably just a basic style.

Question about the Showcase...

I received the invitation that was attached to me and my FH...

Can I bring my mother as well? I almost feel it would be more helpful if she came rather than my fiance HA!!

Re: Westbury Manor-Brides (We decided to make this our official thread)

Hi Ladies,

To answer the question on the cake...I selected the filling the day of the menu selection. I also selected the design of the cake (at first the square one) however, it was not what I wanted. The Banquet Manager said, I would have to meet w/ the Baker (Erga's Italian Bakery in Bethpage) her name is Lily. Very sweet I met her almost 2 weeks ago and brought in a pic of my cake that I wanted. Pic is posted. I asked to do exactly like the pic w/chocolate just not as muche petals she can scatter them more. And yes it does cost more, a few hundred. Good Luck ladies. Hope it helps.

Saturday night in June is about $115-$125 per plate...its probably less expensive during day time or any other day...
