Our dining reviews 2/5-2/6

2/5 The day before the wedding

This was our night out with my family - my parents, aunt and uncle, FI (now DH!), and myself. I'd thought that my family would love Primetime 50s so that's where we went.

We had "Cousin Jim" and we were well-behaved. My family got a kick out of the theming, and enjoyed laughing at the other diners who were getting picked on, but we didn't have to do anything. I was secretly disappointed;-)

We all had meatloaf or the fried chicken and everyone was satisfied with their meals. Nothing fancy, no desserts, just a good, decent meal. DH and I probably wouldn't go back because it wasn't really our type of place, but for my parents it was great.

2/6 The wedding day!!

We had an intimate wedding at noon and no reception is included beyond cake and champagne. I thought it would be nice to plan tea at the GF. We found upon arrival that they couldn't seat our party of 10 together, not a big deal since our families aren't very close. DH's family got a very sweet waitress, we got a very unattentive waiter; hey, I'm in a wedding dress here!! My family split a bunch of different items. My mom and I split the Buckingham Palace. I enjoyed the food, my family did not. The atmosphere was nice, I'd have enjoyed it more if it had just been DH and I. I don't know what the bill came to, and I don't want to! DH's family went all out and seemed to enjoy themselves. Probably wouldn't do this again.

Really too bad about the service at tea. What a memory to have...well, actually I hope you can erase that part of your memory of your day!

Do you mind if I ask the price of ceremony, cake and champagne?

 

[diswedwish]

I don't mind at all... We went with the add-on intimate package. This means we got our rooms and park passes separately; you can get them all together if you want. Total was $2960 and included the wedding at the Pavilion (other spots are $2100 I think), officiant, 4 hours of limo, bouquet and boutenierre, organist and violinist, cake and Mickey/Minnie cake topper, champagne, wedding coordinator, and a few special gifts (more fun to find out on your own;-) Photography/videography are priced separately. Very low stress for planning - one cake, you pick the flavors, a few bouquet choices you pick and specify color. Yet it was still very magical. Completely worth it to us! Hope this helps you!
