Re: Westbury Manor THREAD!!!!
OMG flowers cost that much.....I hope there will be bling on each CP. lol....Well I do want a reggae band. Not sure how much that costs. .... I actually know of a local band in my neighborhood. It's just a matter of me going up to them and asking for their card. If this particular band doesn't work out, I am looking for a good DJ. Again with prices, I have no clue. I do get mail sent to my house and I see a huuuggge range in prices. I do want someone who is going to entertain my guests and play good musical selections.
For photography I also get mail. One company said that they could do 8 hours of coverage and it would cost $1200 on a DVD. I haven't figured out the advantages/disadvantage's of just having a DVD. I actually want someone to print them for me instead of me having to find a place to print. I also want good work. MOH and FH do not care for video coverage but I want it. So I might look into a combo package.

Re: Westbury Manor THREAD!!!!
I missed the VH convo, but just FYI (too many acronymns) if you have a day time wedding (like me) the VH will not be extended. Since there is another party after your wedding. :(

Re: Westbury Manor THREAD!!!!
ok prior to my call to the manor last night i had emailed someone at WM and this is their reply about VH'Hello Gloria:
I am happy to answer your question for you. Our Viennese hour is a vast display of desserts including homemade Italian pastries and cookies, apple cobbler, puddings and mousses, French butter cookies, a vast assortment of cakes, pies, fruit tarts, strawberries and bananas hand dipped in chocolate, Crêpes Suzettes, and hand carved exotic fruits. There is also an ice cream sundae bar and a waffle station.
It is quite elaborate in its presentation and its announcement is usually coordinated with your emcee. It comes in on series of large tables that encompass the entire room. It is a beautiful presentation. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist your further. Thank you, Felicia'
