View Quoted Comment

We did a package deal with a venue and food/drink together. We're using the Warwick Allerton Hotel downtown, super happy with them so far!

View Quoted Comment Your cost is the same as mine! My sides are different and my price includes fruit and cheese platters served while we are taking pics and a small platter for bridesmaid and best men while getting ready. Also my price includes tea, lemonade, coffee, water. My venue(church) has a caterer on staff and we are getting a great reduction because we are using caterer, dj, and decorator from church as well. I have 4 days and my stomach stays upset! I'm so excited!!
