FH and I are poor so we didn't upgrade anything at the RH (though we bargained and got free premium alcohol upgrade, and a free cordial bar upgrade)
i'm curious to hear what you ladies did?

Re: what RH upgrades did you opt for?
we paid $115 including the two entree upgrades (filet mignon and chilean sea bass) -- the regular price without the upgrades is $115 so i guess technically they were kinda free upgrades after negotiation
they also threw in the international coffee and cordial bar

I don't know if this counts as an upgrade but we are having an afterparty in the bar at the woodlands with greasy bar food like potato skins and moz sticks.

We got the VH for free (normally an extra $10pp). We're going to try for a few more when we go for our menu selection next month as well.

added the full VH added the full seafood added an extra hour
these were free - part of our bargaining since they wouldn't come down in price at all
ETA: we are going to try to get them to add one more entree (FH apparently needs to add the chilean sea bass )

We are adding another hour onto the end of the reception where we will be moved to another room and there will be bar food (think mini burgers, wings) for those who didnt eat too much and are drunk and hungry and jazz music will be playing with more alcohol being served :)
We also are thinking about upgrading some food stations but im not sure about that yet.

Re: what RH upgrades did you opt for?
My mom did a whole lot of insisting to get additional items.
We got 8 butlered hors d'ouevres instead of 6. We got 8 items at our cold display instead of 6. We also traded the pasta station for a second carving station.
I also hate ice sculptures so we got an upgrade on our cake instead.
I also insisted that the bridal suite be ready for our arrival at 5PM (2 hours before our CH even starts)
We also insisted on having espresson & cappuccino available for our guests.

Re: what RH upgrades did you opt for?
To be included we bargained for international coffee & cordial bar for dessert time and a savory crepe station CH. We also paid extra for raw bar with shuckers for $5 instead of $12. I do want to see if we can squeeze anything out of them when we go for the tasting and menu finalization.

We paid extra for a seafood boat and a chocolate fountain. We got a free venetian hour and premium alcohol came as part of our package...could also be because we had a 275 person minimum.
