Nancy, Dolfinluck,

Thanks for the input/info... Nancy, it definitely doesn't make sense to me logically, but I also want to make sure my guests have a good time.... I guess I might have to bite the bullet and do it!

Hey ladies,

I don't recall an extra 26% on top of the $1000 to use the SSG. Where did you get the extra from. I'm going to look back on my emails with Tiara but if you're just eating from the SSG menu, I believe it's just $1000.

Does anyone know where the extra 26% came from (sorry, if it's already been discussed in previous pages ... this thread is getting reaaaaalllllyyyyy long)

She definitely quoted the price to me with the tax. Here is her email:

Dear Jennifer:

I hope this email finds you well. I would like to confirm you the wedding gazebo for your wedding ceremony. The exclusivity of any of the restaurants will be USD 1,000 + 26%, and will be close only of your guests. You can book the DJ services for your wedding reception, that will cost you USD 250.00 (up to 4 hours)



Best regards,

I was quoted the same $1000.00 + 26%. The good part of booking the entire restaurant is to have the dance. I am not booking a dj as I would rather spend the 250.00 on a good bose ipod dock and bring with me. We are allowed to hook that up and then have total control over music. We only have the restaurant until 11 so I didn't think hiring a dj for a few hours was justified on my budget. This way, when we have our backyard reception this summer we can use the ipod dock for that also.
My daughter is working on the songlist already, so looks like I have my own personal dj.

Hope this helped. Happy planning : )

Hi Ladies, I was just reading something about the restaurant? Am I reading this correctly, we have to pick one meal for everyone? There are no choices for the guests?

That is how I understood it as well. You choose one meal for everyone.

That's what I thought... I hate choosing for everyone. I have some picky eaters coming. Oh well, if they don't like it, they can always stop off at the buffet. It's getting so close now. I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
