    Our package includes a station of either cheese and fruit or bruschetta with 2 passed apps for cocktail hour. Dinner is a soup course, then a dual entree with a beef tenderloin, chicken, veggie and potato. Also rolls, butter, and wine on the table. We have our tasting in April to determine which chicken dish and soup or salad we want! After dinner, about half way through the dancing we also get a late night snack of pizza and wings!

    That was supposed to say with our guest* lol I hate that we cant edit these. Yes one of the reason we booked our venue was the no time limit.

    Our ceremony starts at 5:45 pm and reception ends at 11:00. We can actually go till 12:00 but I felt bad about having our DJ drive home that late, plus most of our guests are older folks whom I don't think will stay for the whole thing anyway.
