Well there stuff is overcharged as it is!  Its included but watch the price come down about $500 when you start dropping off "included" items. The cake vendor said they usually charge the $50 fee but that's about it....if they are dropping off a cake and securing it, it needs no equiptment.  So they can be guest as far as they are concerned....how do they not know your not related and your aunt who makes cakes is bringing her cake?  HAHAHAHA!!!!  She said this to me!

Hi All,

Just to add to what others say - don't stress! We are leaving this Monday for our wedding 8•26•11

We were contacted just this last week by Gina our WC - its quickly apparent that DRC has this system down. We more or less put all our pictures and questions into a word .doc and she has responded with the the same word doc and included her comments and prices. The only thing that they really needed to know from us at this point was our flower selection and cocktail hour food choices - beyond that all of the smaller details we will handle simply 3-4 days before our wedding. We are bringing down our OOT bags and several decorations on our own in a couple of plastic crates from Walmart.

 

After we get back I will write up a review and be available to answer any of your questions - This website has been very effective for us in terms of understanding what DRC has to offer and t would only be right if we contributed as well.

 

As long as it doesn't rain - this should be fun!
