St. James Room

[figment fan21]

So i'm trying to talk DF into doing a brunch after our escape ceremony at SBP.

I searched the boards and found only a couple pictures of the room. He wants to be convinced that it won't be weird or awkward being in that room with only 16-20 people.

If any of you have any pictures, or wouldn't mind telling me how your experience was with it that would be awesome! Did you decorate? Have background music? Did they divide the room? The more info i can give him the better!

TIA ladies!

I havent used the St. James room yet, but I have it booked for our small reception in October. We are having 17-19 people. Our planner suggested that room and recommended we use one long roman-style table. And a cake table off to the side. I think the room will probably be sectioned off- you can see where the partition is in the photos on tazfoto.

As far as decorating I am probably making my own centerpieces to cut costs and to have a memento!

So you can do your cake cutting there? Thats awesome! I was wondering how that'd work!

Are you going to use chair covers and linens? If you are would you mind PMing me how much it cost you? (roughly) I could definatly make my own centerpiece... hmmm... how are you getting it on the table? Do you give it to your planner ahead of time?

Sorry i have a ton of questions

I am still unsure about the chair covers and linens. I have to get the prices on it. I think if I get the centerpieces to my planner she can see to it that it gets set up on the table, I have heard that there is a fee of $75 and also that if I need to I can have a friend do it for me.
I have the email that my planner sent me with the sample menu if you PM me with your email address I can send it to you!

I have my BEO and it states the chair covers with sashes(bow) are $8.50 each. This is for cotton. I am not sure if this is the same for all ballrooms. Our reception is at the Whitehall room at the GF. I just thought it would help to have some sort of idea of what the charge could be!

Oh, ask your planner what the color of the resort linens are. For example, if I use ivory or white linens for the napkins and table cloth there is no charge because the resort will provide those colors.

This is so good to know! That really helps! Thanks again for your help!

I was told they won't put anything on the table for you unless you are paying them to already put some other stuff on the table. If you then want them to put a lot of stuff on the table there is a $35 an hour charge. Otherwise you have to do it yourself.
