Anyone ever had a brunch reception...

at California Grill? I am just curious as to what that person experienced in their planning.

JonetteA, I know this probably isn't much help but it's a bump anyway but we did eat at the CG the night before we got married. It was a looong day as we did the Segway Tour and DH did DiveQuest so we were tired but man, it was an AWESOME meal!

JonetteA, are you thinking of holding it in either the Napa or Sonoma banquet rooms? I have read of past brides holding their receptions in those rooms and they turned out lovely.

Janet, I think because it is a brunch, we would have the run of the whole restaurant....

DD had brunch and at the time of her wedding, she did not have the run of the restaurant - she had cocktails in one room and the meal in another (I can never remember which room is which - cocktails were in the room facing the lake toward the back of the hotel and brunch was in the room across the hall that afforded the view of Magic Kingdom). It was beautiful - full cocktail hour with fruit and cheese platters; open bar for the rest of the brunch; Sonoma goat cheese ravioli, field green salad, vegetable fritatta, bacon, sausage, potatoes, shrimp risotto, spit-roasted chicken, etc. Dessert was the Cinderella slipped filled with white-chocolate mousse and cherry nut wedding cake with Frangelica buttercream filling. They had a DJ and Mickey and Minnie came. A great party!!!!!

My friend was married there, she had a group of about 85 people. The reception started at 11am and went until 4pm. They had most of the restaurant, and the use of the outdoor observation decks. She did lunch rather than brunch, but brunch is available too.
