so it won’t really be homemade tasting then, well i guess there can be those same ladies starting their own small biz and offering their catering services to people for weddings there.

Location, location-I’ve no idea what it costs now, but when MrT5 and I got married, the out-in-the-country wedding venues were all the rage-still not as pricey as in the city though-we booked at one of the more popular ones, about 25 miles from here. The price per plate for the buffet wasn’t bad with the steamboat round, shrimp, etc.

The cub’s reception a few years later was nearly twice as much at one of the chichi one-price-for-all places in the city.

Since the “faithfools” are beginning to bail on Obama as his Ship-of-State is plummeting, would that make the Dems the IdiotSinkRatic Party ??

That is really reasonable-we paid about $23-24 per person in ‘93 and it was just for the food and service. The bar, hall and everything else was priced separately.

we knew from the start we wanted it at Army Navy CC, so we didn’t shop around for anything else. xshub is very experienced at negotiating food and beverage contracts because of his job and the events his company has, so he’s pretty much in charge of all of that.

Prague was on our short list as was Rome. In the end we decided to chase leprachauns.

Let me know if you want to hear any of my old Ireland knowledge. We went for our honeymoon and drove around the west, staying at B&B’s most nights. We did spend one night at Dromoland castle.

Of course, it was a different time then. You could smoke in the pubs and there was no such thing as a “Euro.”
