I am going to check next time I send an email to Ael if there is a cost if you are already at Chilis...hopefully we will get some straight answers soon!!

GAY!

Shut up, that is WHACK!!! I had noooo idea, I thought iPod was the cheapy way to go. Hot damn!

I'd considered buying a BOSE stereo system to bring down with us. It's pricey but at least you'd get to keep it at the end. Does anyone know if they get loud enough to fill a dinner-party room?

I think that if you want it private you have to have the DJ but I am checking that with Ael in an email. I will let you know her response. We were planning the ipod and bose thing also but I don't think it's allowed.

I don't consider an increase from 50 to 55 guests, or 55 to 60 guests as a "dramatic increase." I'm pretty sure they'd squeeze in a few extra chairs and accomodate you without additional cost.
If you're concerned, just go with Chilis and forgettaboutit! I liked BotoFogo b/c they say it's more elegant, but i'd take stress-free over elegant any day. Besides, you can't go wrong with Steak and Lobster as your wedding dinner :-)

I totally agree with you....if we are close to 60 it should be fine, but I know myself and I probably won't want to risk it in the end...the last thing i need my wedding day or a few days before is to be told i am over the limit and have to pay MORE! F-that! I liked bogofoto a little better, but I'll get over it. lol

I think it does! My grandma has one and it gets pretty damn loud- i agree with lisa though i think the private dinner includes a DJ.....but you could do a semi private dinner and bring your bose system and just play it on the beach or by the pool.......what are they gonna do

hmmmmm

Thanks Lisa, Keep up posted! I emailed her twice (once yesterday, once today) and havent heard back and its killing me!!!!!! I really want to know the ACTUAL price of the disco!

Josie - I was just going to ask you if you had heard back from Ael, I emailed her yesterday and today too and I haven't got any response. before this she had been responding very quickly...whats up with that?

So are you going to have your private dinner at Chili's then?

JOSIE · September 10, 2009

Probably. I asked her for pics of the set-up cuz she sent me some of bogofoto. I wanted to see Chilis before I confirmed and then probably yes. I hope she responds soon!

jetsbride · September 10, 2009

oh, could you send me the photos of BotaFogo, she never sent them to me. And then of Chili's when you get them too. Please and thanks!! [email protected]
