hey guys - i want to have votives on our tables, surrounding the centerpiece...do you think DT has these or will I have to bring them? i mentioned it in my emails and information sheets for Landy/Anabel, but didn't hear anything back and not sure whether that's good or bad news

[Blkatz]

I would think that they have them...have you called them?

[neen]

yeah, no i haven't called them...i haven't done much of anything these last couple of days except dread packing and eat my face off...after all this time i think my brain and body are rebelling against this wedding - or at least the planning and dieting part hehehehe.

 

i'll give them a buzz and see what they say...i have to assume that at the very least the florist would have them and charge me extra for them (and at this point who cares!)

[Blkatz]

HAHA! How many bags do you have packed so far? I can only imagine how many we will have I feel like I have seen a few pictures with votives. I definitely have actually.

Hmmm...Anabel told me that we would have to go by the new wedding guide, despite the fact that we confirmed our wedding '07!!!!!! Maybe I should talk to Lizet instead.

[Blkatz]

Lizet doesn't work there anymore. If you had an email from her saying that they would use the old rates tell Landy that.

[SunBride]

Some girls have definitely paid the old price. Try to print out an email that proves when you booked. Also fight hard by telling them that other girls paid the old price.

 

I do remember there is a bride this fall who paid the new price even though they had booked with the old guide, but she said she didn't bother arguing about it and figured that if she had they might have given it to her.

 

Although it does say in the guide price subject to change, so they do have the right, but still I think it's not very fair if you've made arrangements based on a certain price.

[neen]

I think SunBride is actually referring to me...when i went for my site visit in July I spoke to Landy about the old vs new prices and she said i had to pay the new ones anyway and i didn't fight it, though if I had, I'm sure she would have said it was OK to go with the old guide prices. to me, we're still getting the 5 course menu (where as in the new guide its only 4 courses) so I don't mind paying the extra $10 per head.

 

OH - and I had asked earlier about candles with centerpieces and it turns out I'm total dummy - its right in the new guide that table centerpieces with candles is $75 (vs straight centerpiece for $65) so I'm all set there
