None. But they did lower their pp cost by $5. Other than that, nada.

Re: what are some extras people got from RH

as a general rule of thumb regardless of the vendor, i would ask, what else can you do for me??? you'd be surprised what more you may get

you can still ask- see if RH can throw in something extra for dessert for example or if photgrpaher can throw in some 5x7s or a few more thank you cards if needed

That is really smart- I am such a sucker! from now on, that's my new mantra!

The best I got was $5 pp off at the RH. But, I think that saved like $3000 once you add 20% gratuity and 8% tax.

great! that is nothing to sneeze at- less pp is a lot less in tax and gratuity

We get roses that we can use for centerpieces. If we don't want to use them for centerpieces they will still give us the flowers, and for example just use the petals during the ceremony.

Re: what are some extras people got from RH

JT gave us 'extras' but i think they probably offer those extras to everyone so it makes you feel like you are getting a deal but who knows....

we got a martini bar (seperate from the open bar)during CH

VH for a reduced price pp, chocolate fountain for free, and popcorn, christmas cookies, hot chocolate, egg nog (this is all during the VH)

we got an upgrade in the dinner as well but i would like to change that to something else

some other things during CH but i cant remember - it was little stuff....

Re: what are some extras people got from RH

international wine service with dinner, an ice sculpture, extra ch stations, chair covers, and probably something else that im forgetting.

Re: what are some extras people got from RH

I didn't really want anything else, but we got the pp knocked down another $10/pp because we asked if they could lower the price if we have only three food stations at the cocktail hour instead of four (we only will have 70-80 people max, how much food do they need!!!).

We also have some food intelerances in my family, such as with gluten, so we got them to put into the contract that they would use gluen-free ingredients when possible (like using gluten free flour when making the cake). I want to be able to enjoy my own wedding cake!

Re: what are some extras people got from RH

I rather not say what I got to protect the RH but the best thing you can do is ask for whatever you want- you'd be surprised at what they throw in for you!
