@@Starum2288 - We haven't been to the location yet. Our TA urged us not to go since she's been there several times and she said that it sometimes can take away from the new/wedding experience by going to a BDR before the wedding. I'm such a perfectionist and control freak its hard for me not to go there though.
Wow 60-70! That's going to be a big party!!
I emailed our WC about the lighting and she confirmed - $1500... YIKES! I totally agree that is too much for Christmas lights. She sent some pictures over of receptions on the pier and they were very pretty - and free lighting! So we're going to request that instead of the sky deck. I love the sky deck but I wish they would waive the $500 location fee if you have to spend $1500 on lighting. Plus with our wedding in December, I don't want the guests to get cold on the sky deck and a night breeze.
How are your wedding details coming along? Who did you pick for photography? I wasn't impressed with the Lomas pricing for anything - especially photography.
