Would you cross an RH off your list for this?

I called The Swan Club yesterday and was asked how many guests. So I said we have 95 people on our guest list. The next question was how many people do you realistically expect and I said 75.

Apparently we fall smack dab in between their two rooms: One room holds a max of 75 and then the next room is for 100 or more.

We obviously can't guarantee 100 people (SC brides -- am I right in assuming you have to guarantee 100 people to get the bigger room?)

But what happens if 85 people respond yes and I'm booked in the smaller room?

FH and me are supposed to go Saturday to see it, but we're leaning towards not going because of this.

See if you like it, and then see what they can work out for you. You never know!

I have the same problem with SC, which I'm also going to see on Saturday! What time would you be going? Our invite list is up to about 130... One room holds up to 145 and I forget what the next one down is! I'm sort of in the middle also!

I'd go and see it and if you really like it, talk it through with them. Maybe there's something they can suggest?

Jordana told us to try and get there between 9-11 am because there are weddings going on after that. We have an appointment at George Washington Manor at 11:30, so I don't know if we can work it out. But she said the following Saturday we could stop in anytime between 9-5.

you might run into the same problem at the GWM with their two rooms, the presidentail is 75-120 and the mount vernon is 100-150...what time of the year are you looking?

Our wedding is the Saturday of Labor Day weekend (Sept). The presidential room at GWM would actually work because if I invited 92 people and even with the 20% no rate, it would still give me wiggle room if I have a higher 'yes' rate.

SC just made it sound like my only options were the one room with a max of 75 and the other room with a min. of 100.

Maybe I'll go and see if they budge in person.

Thanks as always ladies!!!!!
