Congrats on changing to Narcoossee's! We did, too, when we outgrew Whitehall Room. I had the same reaction as you to the ballrooms, since we had a 10:00am ceremony. Narcoossee's needed much less decoration and made for some great pics outside.

Love your inspiration bouquet, too!

Just joining in!

Everything looks great! I love Narcoossee's so I think you made a great choice. With 15 people I think it'll be the perfect setting!

The invites are very pretty, too! And your floral inspiration pic looks awesome - I love Rosie! she's been so helpful for my Escape wedding I'm sure she'll make all the floral look awesome!

oh noes!!!! sorry about your entry getting gobbled. i hate that! sorry for the family drama. i cant figure out why weddings are so extra weird for people. people who wouldn't go out of their way to like show up for dinner uninvited or bring a whole nother family with them to spend the week end or something suddenly bring pets, children, next door neighbors.... crazy!!

and given that i am moments away from going to eat everything in my kitchen, i feel your pain....

just catching up... we are using the Napa for our VR reception in July. My DH reaction was the same..... congrats and welcome looking forward to following along!

[weedee]

the new venue sounds great! 1.5 hours is definitely not enough time for a reception (ours went nearly 5 hours!) so I think going with the Cali Grill is a wonderful choice.

I had my first floral consult on May 11th. I had read on the disboards that it usually takes 3-4 weeks to hear back, and my planner echoed this when we talked.
Now, after we talked, I had sent several emails with no reply. Disboarders suggested she didn't get my emails. So I called. No answer. But, she did coveniently email me back that day instead of calling back.
I had asked for an estimate of what the altar floral arrangement would be, and she said that we could have a phone consult on June 17th to go over centerpiece ideas and get the altar floral estimate. (The date of the email was June 8th).
So on Thursday (June 17th) we spoke on the phone. She stated the call by saying that her computer was rebooting so she'd give me the BEO in a few moments. So we talked, and she said she would email me centerpiece ideas and the BEO since we really had not much to say--I have no idea what we can do for centerpiece ideas and wanted to see some inspiration pictures. So we ended the call with her getting ready to email me when her computer booted up.

So, I never got an email.

On Friday I emailed her and her assistant stating that maybe the email got lost in cyberspace and could they email me again. No dice.

So then yesterday I emailed my floral partner and her assistant again. I let them know that if my BEO isn't ready that that is okay, but could they please send me some inspiration pictures for centerpiece ideas. Still no reply and it's Tuesday afternoon.

For me, I just feel disrespected. Let's say they aren't prepared: the least they could do would be to tell me. Why can't they email me back to tell me???

Im so sorry that this is happening to you. Well, if its any conselation, I had my PS 3 weeks ago and I have yet to recieve a BEO from either the planner or the floral department. I know that June is such a hectic month for them so Im trying to keep this in mind. BUT- yes, you do deserve to have responses to your emails. Have you said anthything to your planner? Maybe let your planner in on the situation and they can put some fire under the floral department's tails.

Ok good, hopefully your planner can find out what the deal is and get a response for you! I know its frustrating when you dont get a response back from an email...in the begining with my planner I had this problem with the assistant. But, about 2 weeks before the PS, things got a lot better and I would get responses back in a decent amount of time. Hopefully you'll hear back something before the week ends.

As for me, Im trying to be patient on the BEO, but I'll probably cave if I dont hear anything by Friday . My planner had said it would be about 4-5 weeks before I get one before they are super busy and June through August is crazy busy for Disney. But, at the same time, my wedding is in November so I do need to have an idea of where we are at (budget wise). Let us know of any updates!
