I am a BG bride-to-be. please tell me how the wedding went, I want to know everything, did you have your ceremony there? how was that bridal room? and the food, what do you recommend?
I'm also a future BG bride! Any recommendations on decor or space planning? Also, did you use any of their in house vendors? What would you recommend for food?
thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a BG bride - next month! We're going with the included linens as well. I feel like the light color of the room and linens will make the flowers really pop and look vivid.
I have to say, I'm 110% satisfied with everything so far.
I'm working on my menu and floorplans now, I'll share when I'm all set. :) We are having our ceremony there (upstairs). As for food, I've eaten there a few times (@ weddings as well as just for dinner with FH) & never had a dish I didn't like.
Good luck Miss Meepsie!! Glad to see there is another BG Winter bride here =) I'd love to know what you've decided for your menu since all of their dishes are delicious!
Wow Meepsie!!!! Almost the big day!!! So exciting!
Purplesamcat - did you use Madison Florist? We met with Billy on Sunday, and I think my mom has a total vendor-crush. (we like him too).
Hey there future BG Brides!
Just wanted to let you know that my wedding went off without so much as a single hiccup on Friday! I was beyond pleased with everyone/everything @ the BG. I'll post photos as soon as I have some pro-pics.
Everything was amazing - the food, the service, the location, even the weather! :) My guests (especially the out of towners) were all beyond amazed with the location & the view. :)
You can see my same-day-edit video @ http://vimeo.com/8781923
Miss (now Mrs.!!!!) Meepsie-- I'm so glad everything went so smoothly!!! I cannot wait to see pics!!! Congrats!!!
Mrs. Meepsie-the video was great!! It's making me even more excited for my wedding. Can't wait to see pictures and hear the reviews.
@ Ex libris- How was Madison Florist? Was the pricing reasonable?
Hey BG Brides,
I have another question for ya. I'm thisclose to becoming a BG bride myself (super excited!!), in the process of reviewing the contract. But, the thing is, I absolutely HATE negotiating, and I also feel like I have absolutely NO idea what kinds of stuff I should even be asking for versus what they would never agree to. So before I start to attempt negotiating (bleh), and I really hope this isn't too personal and/or rude of me to ask, but I would love to know:
- Approx what you're paying (particularly for a Saturday night rate in the warmer months) and with what minimum
- What if any extras you were able to get them to throw in
- And in general, if they're willing to negotiate with you, or I should just suck it up and sign on the dotted line
Thanks so much!!!
marcam - we haven't booked them yet...we are meeting with Billy next week to see his samples based on our ideas. the price he quoted ($4000) covered 17 centerpieces, an arch, my bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets, 3 mom/grandma nosegays, 9 boutonnieres, chair covers, and "boxes of petals" for decoration.

hi BG brides! i need help! do any of you have photos from your wedding with dark-color table cloths in the upstairs room? i am having a serious conflict whether or not to go with a dark color, since the room is so white, or stick with that they have, since that option is free. my flowers are dark reds and oranges, but i feel that the centerpieces, even though full of color and tall, will get lost in such a light-colored room. suggestions??
