Heyy Brides,
Im getting married at the Pelican Beach Club House in Satellite Beach on June 25, 2010. Anyone else getting married there or has been married there? Maybe we can share ideas or see pictures. Ive got a pretty good idea of what I plan on doing with the space but I would love input on what everyone else plans to do :)
Are you getting married in 2010 or 2011? Have you decided where you are having the ceremony? Inside, on the deck, on the beach?
I am getting married there in July of 2011.
@angelavillano: Sorry I meant 2011. I thought about getting married on the deck for a while but I really want the deck to be used for the cocktail hour and for people to be able to mingle out there. So i moved the ceremony to the deck. How do you plan to put the tables? How many tables?
I also considered having the ceremony on the deck but it is going to be super hot in July so we have decided to have it inside. I am not totally fond of this idea YET but I still have planning to do for this. We are going to need 8 round tables.. .that is ALOT for the space. I am feeling slightly discouraged. I feel as if I need to go back to the venue and play around with the tables but that is SO much work. Where are you putting your cake? food? music? dancing?
@angelavillano: you have no idea how happy I am to find another bride getting married the the beach house because I have been struggling with how to decorate the inside. Well we are having 8 people at 6 tables. I was hoping to have 6 or 7 people for extra room but the space is too small for so many tables.
Ok I plan to move all the extra chairs and tables from the small space to the right of the front door and move it all into the space to the left of the door since it has a door and can be hidden. Then Im going to use that area (on the right of the front door) to have my guest book and gift table.
If your walking in from the front door, on the right wall im going to have my food there on two rectangle tables. (I think). Then Im going to have the tables near deck windows (Ill attach a pic so you see how Im doing it.) and then the dance floor is going to be the area to the left (across from the buffet tables)
It was SO difficult for me to figure out how to use this space. I almost didnt take it because of how difficult it is to fit everything in there. But because of my budget and how close it was to perfect I just had to make it work. Im going to use the deck as cocktail hour and a place for guests to mingle during the reception. I was going to have the ceremony on the deck but i just couldnt get the picture of using it as the cocktail space out of my head so i moved the ceremony to the beach.
How do plan to make it work inside for the ceremony? Its just such a tight squeeze in there but I definitely considered doing that. Guests would definitely appreciate it being inside during the summer. But im just going to get fans to put on the chairs on the beach :) lol I would reccommend going back and moving the chairs and tables around to find the perfect fit. Thats what we did and after 2 1/2 hours we found how we plan to do it.

Okay, before I talk about my ceremony.. let me comment on yours! First, the idea of having the fans on the back of the chairs during the ceremony is PERFECT! Are you renting chairs? We considering having the ceremony on the beach but you can't use the chairs at the venue in the sand and to rent chairs without someone in my family with a truck seemed like too much of a hassle. I do know someone that had the guests stand on the beach but that seems rude. Either way, the ceremony is going to be faster than you think so I wouldn't worry about the heat too much just be sure you get started when you say you're going to and don't have your guests waiting. Another thing that held us back from having it on the beach was how close the water is to the stairs. We are from Palm Bay and the Melbourne beach has plenty of space between the stairs and the water so this beach seemed so tiny to me. I LOVE how you're putting tables near the deck, that will get people motivated to use the deck for socializing since they will be so close to it. Where are you putting your cake? Are you having a sweetheart table?
We definitely have to go back because the last time we were there, we arranged it to have the ceremony on the deck and since then, I have decided to have it inside. Here is the link to pictures and a video of someone that did the ceremony inside at PBC. http://vitalicphoto.com/blog/?p=1845 That is where I got the idea to have it inside. In the video you can see how they set up the chairs using the space that you plan on having your tables, facing the deck. I love the flowers hanging behind them and the fact that they had the doors open. I bet you can even hear the ocean without having to be outside in the heat! We are going to ask our closest friends outside of the wedding party to rearrange slightly after we renew our vows and are busy taking pictures.
The picture you posted of your dance floor is actually where we plan on having the tables. We are going have them on the left behind the columns and sticking out in the center (not much, there will still be a walkway but they will have to be zig-zagged in order to all fit). My husband is from NY so 7 of his family members are invited that probably won't be able to come. That is practically an entire table so it is difficult for us to plan until we have our RSVP's back which won't be until April or May. I plan to send the invites out in January or February. I am trying to cut our list down to 40 + those 7 of his family and the bridal party.
What are you doing for centerpieces?
We are going to use te small space on the right closest to the deck (Where some of your tables will be) for the dance floor. I am only concerned about the 3 famous dances... first dance, father-daughter, mother-son... after that, people can dance whereever they want. If enough people want to dance, we can bring it out to the deck but I personally am not much of a dancer. What are you doing for music? We are planning to buy a nice stereo and burn our own CD's. I figured the money we invest in a stereo would be better than a DJ because it is something we could keep and my husband loves his music.
As for food, drinks, and cake, I plan to use the kitchen area. It will be make your own drinks which to me seems so tacky for a wedding but again, it's only going to be our very closest family and friends that know we are on a tight budget and have a 5 month old so I am hoping they will deal without complaint. For food, I am considering Sonny's. It will be 10$ a person. Or party platters but the price is so close, we my-aswell do Sonnys. Cake? My husband wants to make it but we'll see about that! I don't want us to have too much do ourselves but what choice do we have on our budget?
The space is so awkward but I am sure that both of our weddings will come together beautifully! I am so glad I found someone to rant and rave with about how to make this little space work. And to share ideas with.
My mom suggested doing our tables that way too! I keep going back and forth about that but I think we have a little more room for dancing the way I have it set up. But both ways work well. oh and im not having a sweet heart table - to save space. Im going to sit with the bridal party.
My father in law offered to pay for a DJ. But Im just NOT OK with spending $600 or more on a dj. I just cant justify it. Thats more than my dress! So my fiances friend has a big system that a DJ would use, with speakers. then hooking up my IPOD or laptop. Free and works just as well as a DJ :)
For food: I was going to do exactly what you are doing. We were thinking getting food from a restaurant but then I found "two chicks and a pot" catering. I fell in love with them. Beth is just such a sweetheart and really worked with me. She provides bread, salad, appetizer, 2 main dishes and 2 side dishes. She also includes plates, silverware and cups for free. All for a very reasonable price. If your interested you should talk to her. Shes really great. Talk to her about your budget and see if she can help you out - she responds really well to budget talk :) and if you decide not to, EVERYONE loves sonnys. That would def be my second choice :)
As for centerpieces, I am have 11"x11" mirror tiles with a sage green candle on it and sand spread around the candle. In front I will have a large purple tigerlilly on it (our colors are plum purple and sage green.) and adding a starfish and sand dollar (to incorporate the beach) Its very simple and in total, for 6 centerpieces, it cost under $150. As soon as I get it all together ill upload a picture so you can see. What about you? what are you doing?
You should so try to make your own wedding cake! My friend made a delicious funfetti cake for her wedding. She iced it herself and only ordered a few gimpaste flowers from publix for cheap and put them on herself. Or you could even put real or artificial flowers to match your flowers for even cheaper! You should just try it out with your favorite flavors an fillings and see how it works out. It could save you $200 or more!
Uh oh -- I didnt know we werent allowed to use the chairs from the venue on the beach. Thats not good haha hm -- maybe Ill have to do it standing. I dont love that idea but Ill try to figure something out.
For a 100$ deposit, you could prob get away with using them down on the beach, esp. if you're having the event on a Saturday. And if they catch you, they aren't going to shut down your ceremony.. they might just keep your deposit. Did you watch the video of the ceremony inside? I LOVE it, maybe you can consider moving it inside? When is your wedding?
How much are you paying per person for catering? I love the idea of supporting a local, small business compared to Sonny's and it won't cost me more than Sonny's I can imagine. I am only having 50 people total (I just edited my guest list today) so I am hoping to keep it well under 500. If I go through Sonny's, it will cost 500$ roughly.That is ALOT of money!!!!!
I also have a friend that has DJ equipment but he is my girlfriend's Hubbie and I don't want him to feel like he's working the wedding, I want him to enjoy it as a guest. You know? I'm still torn about asking him for any help. Plus she's throwing the bridal shower and going to be my wing-man outside of the bridal party to make sure everything runs smoothly. And they will have a 6 month old (she's due in January).
I love you centerpieces! I have been looking at garage sales and on facebook for supplies for centerpieces but I haven't finalized colors or centerpieces or anything except the date and the venue really. I am taking a break from school to literally plan this wedding next semester because I just eat, sleep, dream wedding and it's driving me crazy that I don't have the time to dive into the planning!
ohhhhhh the chaos and stress wedding planning causes!
I saw the video and Its beautiful. But I want to take advantage of the beach. The idea of having the beach wedding, moving to the deck for cocktail hour and then move inside for the reception. I think it just flows well so im think im sticking to that.
Well we havent had an exact price just yet, it all comes done to what food we choose at our tasting. But i told her I wanted to stay between $600 & $700 for food and she said that wasnt a problem. It just includes so much that I couldnt turn it down. Just send her an email and ask if she could manage a menu for $500 and see what she says. I love her and Im so happy Im going with her.
About your friend with the DJ equiptment, you really should just ask him to watch over it. My sister had her husbands cousin (who was also a groomsman) as the DJ and he just kept going back and forth between the party and DJing. He really didnt have to sit there all night. Just there to make sure everything is going well.
I touched base with the caterer you are using today. I like the idea of getting food and dishes in one place for one price. I haven't finalized a budget yet.. I am taking classes this semester and it will be my son's first xmas so I can't concentrate on the wedding until the new year. I am so glad you told me about two chicks and a pot though.
I also love the idea of a beach wedding. I think your wedding will turn out beautiful and flow very well. Your centerpieces sound beautiful! I wish I could sit here all night and work out every detail of next summer's event but I just have to study for my finals! I will be in touch as more plans are made and you should do the same!
Good luck with your planning!
Hey Fellow Bees,
I too am getting married at the PBC June 11,2011. There is also another girl on here who has been my trade/swap/vent ideas with buddy. I am from M.I but now live in Atlanta. I love the PBC just wish it was a little bit bigger. I guess we are all crossing fingers for beautiful weather..I was surprised how close the water was too. Guess I am just use to Cocoa Beach. Looking forward to jump in with you girls and throw around ideas.
Food...Food...Food...
Who knew finding a caterer within your budget would be SO stressful. I started with Sonnys then switched over to Hayes Meats by Gem. I thought I was content and it was a great price for what we were getting. Then after months of going back and forth I finally decided to listen to my MOH and look at publix. She kept telling me to look at their trays and I was just like NOway because I thought it would look cheesy. Well I was wrong...most of their platters were set up soooo nice. So this is what we have FINALLY decided. By we I of course mean me and my MOH because FH has heard me say "This Is It" so many times that he just smiles and says oookkkkkk as I am sure he is counting down the weeks for me to change it once again. I plan on setting 1 rectangle table and 1 card table underneath the "kitchen" area and that wall right next to it. On one card table I am planning to set up a sushi and seafood area. With 3 large platters it is roughly 130.00. I found cute little trays to put sushi on from Party City on sale for $2.00.(score) On the other table I am planning on having a (L) salad platter(Southern Style Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Ham Salad, Shredded Cole Slaw, Tuna Salad and Chicken Tarragon Salad. Served with water crackers) a (L) Fresh Fruit platter(A beautiful arrangement of the season's best, including grapes, strawberries, oranges, pineapple and melons) a(M) Veggie Platter, a (M) Cubanito Platter(A platter piled high with smaller versions of our original Cuban sandwich: Cuban bread layered with ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles) a (M) Sub Platter, and a (M) Party Pinwheel(Eye-catching fare created from soft cracker bread rolled with a variety of meat and cheese fillings. Choose from turkey avocado, Italian, roast beef, vegetarian, and ham and cheese)All this for $345.00. For Center Pieces I am planning on setting two round vases with sand/shells on a mirror(all from dollar store..seriously check it out)(DIY) and then in middle of table I am planning on putting a Brownie Bite platter in middle(super cute $15.00) I will have 1 kids table so I am planning on making little wedding coloring books with a box of dollar store crayons and for centerpiece I plan on putting a PB&J kid platter(super cute too). For all the food INCLUDING the centerpiece food is comes to $465.00. We are going for a very laid back beachy feel so by doing the platters this way fits in so much better than the sit down or buffet. We are putting a keg in the far corner of deck. I made a keg cover up out of a fish net and some leis. will post some pics for you. Any how this is just an option for a budget.
OH FYI A Better DJ & Photography has a tons of pics on website from a wedding they did there.
Hello ladies,
I have finally finished my classes and graduate next week so I can dive into raising my son and planning our ceremony! I am so excited!
@simple, could you send me the link to the chat you've been having with the other girl you are swapping ideas with? I would love to see what you girls have been up to as far as planning!
I also started with Sonny's then I checked out the caterers that schechter is using. I am just not comfortable paying that much for simply food. We also looked at Publix party platters considering it is such a small wedding and we are already married, we are simply renewing our vows for all of the family and select few friends that were unable to be there on our wedding day.
I have not made any decisions except for the venue, that we are having the ceremony inside, the DJ is booked, I know what I want my dress to look like but have to find it, and I know that I do not want a beach theme (although this is something I change my mind about everytime I see a beautiful sea shell cake). Just thinking about how little I have decided or planning is stressful!
Happy Holidays to you both, I look forward to catching up when I am more organized!
Heyy simple! So happy to hear from another pelican beach clubhouse bride!
So i just had my food tasting and cake tasting with the caterer - i know its a bit more expensive but she is just an incredible woman who deserves every penny. She is also going to supply us with a bartender for only $150 which is nice because ive been seeing prices in the $300-$400 range.
So Im set on having my wedding on the beach - going to put the fans on the chairs and flip-flop basket near the stairs leading to the beach for those who wore heals :) then moving to the deck for cocktail hour. I plan to set out about 3 square tables to let people sit but i expect most people to be moving around and mingliing - the bartender will also be in the corner of the deck serving drinks. The caterer is supplying brusheta (spelling?) appetizers as well for the cocktail hour.
im going to be taking pics with my bridal party on the beach during this time. I found a new and upcoming photographer who i am just beginning to talk to who is willing to do the whole wedding (from the BM and I getting ready all the way through the reception) for only $400! ill let you know more about her after i meet with her.
then on to the reception. having six tables - still being organized like i said in previous post. then having a DJ system from a friend for music & dancing. i keep changing my mind about center pieces -- what are you girls doing?
I love the idea of putting the bartender on the deck and hosting a cocktail hour so that you can take all of the pictures you desire! I have been contemplating taking pictures the following day considering how hot it is going to be in July and not wanting to leave my guests for an extended period of time. There are only going to be 50 of them so they can only mingle for so long before wanting dinner, toasts, and dancing but I am in love with your idea!
Our wedding budget is around 3,000$ so party platters suite our goals better but I have done my research on Two Chicks and a Pot and have heard nothing but fabulous things about their food! And the bartender price is AMAZING compared to what I have heard people pay their bartenders! Are you putting a cap on the tab or providing drinks all night? This is another area I haven't thought far into yet.
MadiLove918 is the other girl getting married there.
we are trying to keep it around $3000 but have wiggle room up to $4000. We are depending on our tax returns for at least half of our budget - if not more. two chicks has been wonderful and im soo happy with them. i saved money on my dress and some other areas so I decided to put the money towards t he food since thats something all the guests enjoy.
Anyone buy their dress yet? Im gonna post mine -- tell me what you think i LOVE it for the beach. very simple but elegant.
the sleeves dont fit right just yet :)
And here are my bridesmaid dresses:
Only $69! They are going to get them in purple. My sister/MOH tried on a dress veryy similar to that one and we just fell in love. So we found that one online for so cheap!
as favors I am having the dessert bar and then at each seat I will have a recipe book with the recipes for the desserts at the bar (not sure if i have posted that already.) I love it and its so simple/cheap since im doing it myself. All the plates and stands i buy for the desserts i plan to resell.
As for the drinking -- I plan to go to SAMS or BJs and get as much alcohol as i can for $300-$400 and let them drink until it runs out. Otherwise I plan to stop serving drinks at about 11 since the reception ends at 12 and i would want everyone to sober up :)
and here is a picture of me and my fiance just because i love it haha
&&&
post some pictures of your inspiration :) so we can see your ideas!!
Thanks for pointing me in this direction! You're awesome and these pics are GREAT.
To answer your questions about how we ended up choosing Florida:
I am from the East Coast and love the ocean. In fact even though we live in Chicago, the only thing we knew for certain was that we wanted to be married on the beach. After we ruled out out-of-the-country wedding ideas because of disabled family members, Florida became a very reasonably priced option. We had lots of leads on the Gulf Coast, but when someone mentioned her experience with Pelican Beach Clubhouse to us, we were smitten.
We're worried about our likelihood of filling the place with 70 guests because I hear it's small, but we'll be coming down in Feb to visit.
Thank you for all this info and definitely for the pics. Any other pics people can post of the inside would be so, so wonderful.
Congrats to you all!
E
If you go to Davids Bridal my dress is v9409..pics to come soon..love the back of your dress.
these are my bridesmaids dresses..1 yellow 1 aqua 1 royal blue...fun for the beach! boys will be wearing khakis and a solid coordinating color to match. what do you think>
bridesmaids.jpg (18.9 KB, 56 downloads) 1 year old
LOVE your bridesmaid dresses! So fun. I always wanted a patterned BM dress but couldnt find ones that i loved. Perfect for the beach!
I told you ladies I was going to get to work after Christmas and I have definitely gotten to work. Here is what I have so far:
MY DRESS:
My friend is making all of our dresses so I can pick and chose top, bottom, material, etc. It makes it difficult to imagine though because I don't have a picture of my dress, just an idea that she is going to create.
I have looked and looked but I always come back to this Vogue pattern... I have a tattoo on my shoulder blade that I want covered and the back of this dress would definitely get the job done. I would eliminate the train, the buttons down the back, and the beading. Instead, it will just reach the floor (with my heels on), be a satin material covered with a layer of lace, and fit slightly more snug.
What do you girls think?
MY COLOR:
Purple, not a pastel purple but a more vibrant purple:
CENTERPIECE:
There will be no beads in the fish bowl and the startfish will be purple in order to tie the color into the tables. I am not doing a seating arrangement so the sand dollar with the table number won't be necessary and the small candles surrounding the fish bowl are also unnecessary.
FAVORS:
I am doing white starfish with our names & the date as favors. They will be held in a purple sandbox.
FOOD:
I've decided to do party platters for a number 2 reasons. #1: Money #2: Convenience (We are having our ceremony inside so a caterer wouldn't be able to set up until after the ceremony... with party platters we can bring and store them at the venue before anybody arrives).
DJ:
A patient of mine is going to DJ our event for 100$.
BRIDESMAID DRESSES:
I love this style, I am looking for a sundress look but am not fond of spaghetti straps for a wedding. I don't want any lacey look, just a solid color, vibrant purple. Knee length, and a material that LOOKS like cotton but FEELS like satin. I didn't know such a thing existed but my MOH is the one making the dresses and she said it is the perfect material for a laid back, sundress look to go alongside the boys.
My sisters are the wedding party, they all have dark hair (my youngest sister's hair is dirty blonde) and we are all small in the chest. Their ages range from 15-20 so it's been difficult to find something that will suite all of their ages.
What do you girls think?
GROOMSMEN:
They will be wearing a white, short sleeved, button up, dress shirt with khaki pants and white flip flops.
DRINKS:
It is going to be self-served. I am going through a local, family-owned liquor store for the best deal.
My work computer keeps uploading my post in segments, I'm not sure why.
So...
I have:
Venue
Layout
Color
Centerpiece
Favors
Groomsmen attire
Ideas for:
Dresses
Food (have to finalize what platters and how many)
Guestlist (still needs final draft)
Drinks (need a budget and must-have list)
Still need:
Cake (Husband wants to make it.. I want to buy it)
Cake topper
Invitations
Flowers (planning on using silk flowers and making them)
And of course, LOTS of shopping
Great pictures! Its coming together so well! Isnt it nice to have so many decisions made? Everything looks great. How amazing that your getting a handmade dress! Its going to be exactly the way youd like it - i love your picture. Hopefully it turns out the way you envision it!
Wow a DJ for only $100?! Can he do mine?! haha very lucky to have so many people helping you ! i like what you have so far.
Thank you, it does feel great to have so much decided but I am a VERY indecisive person so let's hope things stay that way. I am still in love with the bridesmaid dresses today but have been skeptical about my dress since the get-go so we will see what happens. I am SUPER blessed with all the help I am receiving. I have a friend of a friend willing to do the photography but I am unsure about putting such an important aspect of the day lay in the hands of a friend of a friend that has no incentive (pay) to do a great job. Does anyone know a reasonably priced photographer? The way I look at it, if the DJ sucks... there's still music. If the photographer sucks, I am going to cry for the next year!
Hey Ladies, I just wanted to pop in and say hello from Brevard County. I have been to many events at the PBCH. Its really a fun venue.
One event I attended actually put a tent on the deck and set table and chairs out there. It was great to be able to sit outside but still in the shade.
Hayes Catering is supposed to be really good. We ended up with Creative Catering by the Farinas but they are more expensive (awesome food though).
Our DJ was DJ Master Key (Michael Katz). He is on facebook and has a website. He was good and priced very well. I think his pricing also includes uplights and other lighting if you want it.
Our photographer was Cathy Heinz. She has shot at the PBCH. I am not sure if her prices are accurate on her website so I would call and talk to her (she's on vacation right now though). She also has a website and facebook page. She is very personable and great to work with.
Happy Planning! Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions!
This is my wedding dress..no comments needed on hair..lol..(My friend Brian was playing with it) This is "the" dress however not my size. We were laying over in Ohio and went to a Davids Bridal so that I could show it to him. (we are flight attendants)

I am SOOOO happy I found this board! I have already gotten lots of great ideas and hope to get even more. We are getting married at PBCH on September 10th of this year (9/10/11). After going back and forth over a couple different venues, someone I work with suggested PBCH. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was THE place!
We had originally planned on getting married on the beach but after going back by the clubhouse this past weekend and talking about it some more, we have decided to get married on that little sandy area between the deck and the dunes. Getting married on the beach would mean getting there early in the day and "staking" an area for the ceremony and then trying to make sure we didn't have someone on a blanket with a big umbrella or fishing poles nearby. If you stand on the sandy area next to the deck, you can see the water but not people on the actual beach. We took a few snapshots with our camera phones just to see how it would look and it was perfect! The dunes are in the background with the water behind them but none of the people on the beach could be seen. I think this will offer the photographer way more opportunities for great photos without trying to make sure no one is in the background. idk...jmo
As for decorations, we are definitely going with the whole "beach theme". I am making the centerpieces myself and can't believe how cheap is it going to be. I am getting the vases, candles and shells at Wal-Mart and it's only costing me about ninety bucks to make 8 centerpieces. I have attached a pic of what ours will look like. We will be using burgandy candles to go with our colors...yellow and burgandy. There will be small daisies around the base of the vases since that is my favorite flower and what will be in the bouquets and boutonnieres. I am still trying to decide what else to do with decorations so looking forward to seeing more pics of what others are doing.
For food...OMG! I SOOOOO wish I would have found this posting sooner! We are going with Creative Catering by Farinas. They are a little on the expensive side but so many people recommended them and stupid me didn't think I would find anyone a whole lot cheaper. I REALLY should have searched more! On the plus side, I am VERY confident the food will be delicious and since it's a family owned company that has been here for more than 35 years, I don't think they are going anywhere. :-)
Last...but not least...the dress! I have only been shopping twice but have not found "the" dress. Like a PP posted, I know what I want, I just haven't found it yet. Another thing I am running into is amazement over the cost of wedding gowns! OMG! I am an encore bride but that was MANY MANY MANY years ago and even then, my mom did all the planning. I had no idea wedding gowns were so expensive! I know this is a sensitive subject but what did you spend on your gown? If you want to PM me instead of posting on here, that's cool. I'm just wondering if maybe I am looking at the wrong places or what!
I am really looking forward to hearing more about all of your plans for PBCH and seeing any pics you have. Can't wait to share more ideas! :-)

Hi ladies! Getting married at PBCH in October and I'm thinking about having my DJ/dance floor on the deck but am worried about possible noise complaints. Anyone have trouble with this issue? Also, read in previous comment that they don't allow outside lights in October. It didn't state anything in contract about this... ???
Hey ladies from down here in Boca Raton!
I'm going through wedding venue woes on a 5k budget and have been scouring the state withing 3 hours drive of me and BAM, found this board. HOLY BAJEEBUS this place looks adorable! Can you guys give me an honest price range/to people ratio of what your weddings are like? I have 5k for 30 people, is this place doable with the cost of catering, etc? I'm so scared to do a place where I have to set things up myself. You girls are so brave!!!!!! Please please please give me some information on your prices so I can think about this place. Thank you!
PS - what made each of you choose it?
Hey ladies...I am brand new here as of today and I too am getting married at PBC in May of 2012. I have done NOTHING...so any words of wisdom will help. PICTURES of PBC would be awesome as well as to how you set it up. I have read all of your post here and have gotten several ideas...thanks to all of you......HELP!!!!!!!
Hello Brides,
I'm also planning my (destination) wedding at the Pelican Beach Clubhouse this year in November and would like to thank everyone for sharing their amazing ideas on this board. I'm really grateful to have found this forum as it's been a little iffy planning my wedding from afar (Canada). I am wondering if any Brides who are going with (or had gone with) Two Chicks and a Pot Catering have been having any difficulties working with them or getting a hold of them? I have everything booked for my wedding EXCEPT my food which is making me a little nervous. I have contacted Beth and spoken to her on a couple of occasions and she's said she's "penciled" my wedding in but when it came time to plan the menu, I sent her a draft menu plan for her input almost 2 months ago, but she hasn't responded to it and I can't seem to get a hold of her.
Again, my wedding isn't until November so am I asking for too much to have the menu sorted out 5-6 months in advance? By no means do I want to be a bridzilla or a demanding bride but I've called around to a couple other catering companies you ladies have mentioned on this board and some of them have already been booked for my date so I'm getting a little worried that if it doesn't work out with Two Chicks and a Pot catering, I'm going to be stranded.
Thanks again, ladies, for your posts and letting me "vent" here. I'll try to post some of my ideas on this site soon just to give back to the community.
@pandasgomow:First of all...I'm sorry no one has posted to your questions. I was on here a lot and then kinda disappeared until it got closer to my date. Now that I am less than 90 days from the big day (82 days from today), I am becoming more active again and starting to really pull things together. SOOOO...to answer your question, if you haven't already found a place then YES! PBCH is DEFINITELY "doable" for your budget! I am having approx 60 guests and went with a more expensive catering option and at the end we are only spending between $5-$6k total! I am sure I could cut back in a few areas and get it even lower but I am very comfortable with where we are so far.
Have you picked a placed yet and if so, where did you chose? Once again, sorry I haven't been on here in a while but now that I'm getting closer, look for lots more from me! lol
Hey I just got married at PBCH June 11th and everything turned out perfect. I posted some pics on other PBCH board..let me know if I can help
