    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??

    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.

    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

    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.
