My hall didn't give me anything extra. You should be happy they offered you a chocolate fountain. March is usually their bottom line pricing, so they can't do much.
Nothing and I didn't feel they needed to.
really? I guess that's my problem I thought everyone got something so I thought I was being had! ty

I got....unlimited wine bottles being put constantly on the tables throughout the night, an ice sculpture, an espresso/cappuccino/coffee station, ice cream bar and a chocolate fountain.

I think it is unrealistic to EXPECT that they will throw in something. If they do, it's nice, but you can't go in expecting it or you will be disappointed.

am I being unrealistic in expecting something more since they won't take money off?

You also mentioned that you haven't booked yet. A lot of things get 'thrown in' once you are closer to your date. For example if they are using the ice sculptor for another event they can throw one in for yours, or if they will have the ice cream bar set up for something else, you will be able to have it as well.
Also you are using an all inclusive place, right? They probably have even less wiggle room, because they have to pay the vendors too.
Don't worry about every little detail, it will all work out in the end, and you won't even notice if something doesn't go exactly as planned. [/

A chocolate fountain was about a $3 per person upgrade at WM. I think that is great but personally something that would not interest me.
What are you looking for them to include?
the choc fountain I.believe it's $3 pp also so that's $600' they quoted me $65 each extra centerpiece that's $650 that's where and why I said I rather have centerpieces

fh doesn't eat reg cake so he liked it but I don't like it either! I. would like Italian cookies and some pasteries I think in stead but was also hoping they could throw in the remaining 10 centerpieces I would need. and I'd not both then instead of the choc fountain id rather have centerpieces.

That's so funny because my place threw in a dessert tray of italian cookies and I was wondering how to get the chocolate fountain! I'm not complaining though. I think most of my family will prefer the dessert trays. That was the only thing my RH 'threw in' and it was an incentive to get us to book b/c they only included it if we booked within 2 weeks of touring the place. IMO, I'm getting a ton of food options at CH (35 passed hors d'oeuvres + 4 stations) and during the reception (7 dinner options with guests being allowed to go back for seconds), so I don't feel like I need anything else thrown in. I noticed that some people's 'extras' were things my RH already included.
ok that's an insane amount of food! lol I def don't get that much!
