    that place is awesome!! i wish i could afford it.  have you tried giving your budget and seeing what they can take out or add to their package?

    have you considered friday dinner, sat lunch, sunday brunch ideas? sometimes vendors aren't willing budge on their price but they're usually flexible about the packages.

    let me know how it goes!

    It's the same people who run Glen Foerd, right? They were VERY flexible with us and provided great discounts.

    I'm curious too, their prices are too expensive for me, especially with the service charge and taxes. Please let me know how much they are willing to come down, I would love to use them. Thanks!

    I also had some luck in negotiating certain aspects of their package / pricing.  It was most successful when I was able to bring a competitors' proposal to them and say "we really like x y z about what they are offering at such and such a price."  As long as you are reaching their guaranteed revenue minimum, I think they are willing to work with you...
