Our reception is in the marino restaurant- the linens she is charging me- I just printed out the invoice that she sent. Our reception is 50.00 a person but that includes open bar too

What is she charging for the linens?

Our beach reception cost is a flat $2500 for 3-hours ... but I am sure there will be 'extras' that we aren't aware of...

I agree ... and we want a wide variety of music (shag and oldies plus dance, country, swing, pop/rock, etc...) so it just makes sense for us to do the iPod instead of a DJ.

I am burning everything on to CD's as well just in case there is an issue w/ the iPod or a connection doesn't work, etc ... so we will have the CD player (provided) as our back-up.

If you do one of the traditional packages, it is extra per person after the initial package fee.

However, we are doing a beach reception, which includes a buffett and 3-hour open bar for $2500.

Extras include, colored table linens, Cd/iPod/Speakers (or DJ), centerpieces, cake... the list goes on.

We are bringing our own centerpieces -- simple shells and starfish we will scatter on each table, and 2-3 votives per table. I'd like to add the circular mirrors, but am trying to save $$. It's all adding up fast.

Is Kelly the WC at PPR? I'd email her ask. I knw everything costs more there, but its worth a shot.

Even the $250 plus $8 per cigar that one of the factorie was going to charge really didn't seem like a bad deal to me either.
