Wow... thanks Krys!! That's all very reassuring info. I will be contacting Joan once we have a date/venue settled. Unfortunately, after several emails and phone calls I haven't really had any response from Gansevoort. I may still keep them in the running if they call me back in the next couple days, but we'll likely just book with WBC or VR. Just trying to work on the contractural details, etc. I'm sure I'll have more questions as things start falling into place. Thanks for all your advice and input on the forum!

This is incredible!!!! How did you "bind" the welcome books?? Did you use a special cutter for the edges (if so, what kind??). BTW.... your passport invites were the best yet. Personally, I think the navy paper looks the most authentic, even if it was a pain to print/use! Kudos!

awesome idea!!! thanks for the tips...

Hi, We're planning a DW in Oct 2011 in T&C and I think I've narrowed it down to the following 3 options based on pricing and info available. West Bay Club, Gansevoort, Villa Renaissance. We will have a car, although not all of our guests will likely rent their own (most won't mind a taxi ride). WBC is definately the most affordable option, but I don't see a lot of posts or pics from weddings there. Does anyone have any info or knowledge as to why?? Gansevoort is probably the swankiest, and we may actually host our reception there regardless (if they are next to each other on the beach, I'm not sure why paying an extra $1000-2000 for a beach wedding at Gansevoort is really worth it). Our other option is the bay bistro route or kissing fish beach catered recepton, especially if we stay more central at VR. Anyway... I'm inundated with conflicting info and just looking for more guidance and opinions. PS- I've also checked out Somerset (too pricy for our guests and fewer oceanfront accomodations, and their wedding packages are a bit pricier than the other 3) and Seven Stars. Thanks so much!
