For anyone who has used PK Grand - reception question!

Happy Friday!

I have a questions in regard to my reception decor. I have a lot of decor and items that I am DYI'ing. I am really unsure as to what role the coorindator that we are working with has. She mentioned to come in when I want to do invitations,,etc. However, I am doing all that on my own.

My main questions are...when can I actually decorate the room we are using (for a Fri evening)? Do I do it myself or do I drop it off and they do it for us?!

TIA for all help!!

    Kris,

    First, I thnk you should talk to your coordinator about her role as you said you are unsure.  that will be the most important thing as she may think she is doing more for you than she really is and not doing the things you really want her to do.

    Second, your decoration ? is really for the venue.  Some venues have restrictions on when you can do those things and whether you can or they do it.  And also, maybe your coordinator does it.

    I'm getting married at the Grandview, not the hotel..but I'm sure its similiar.

    We are dropping off all that stuff 5 days before, labeled and ready to go. They will set it up for us. Our florist is doing our centerpieces, so I'm not sure about that. But they will be setting up the place cards, guestbook, programs..blah blah. If possible, you should have a close friend or family member around while they set-up just to insure it will all work out (I have hired an planner so she'll be there to represent me)

    We dropped everything off the week of the wedding to our venue and they set all those things up. 

    Our florists dropped off the centerpieces the day of.

    My venue had it all set up by our Friday Night rehersal dinner ... that is, except for the floral centerpieces and the table cards...but they had done the favors, etc.  This was only b/c they did not have an event that night.

    Still, i would ask your venue when you need to drop it off, i think it is different by venue.  and again, your coordinator might do all of that for you.

    My wedding was at PK Grand.   I had my own place cards and centerpieces and we dropped them off at our final meeting with the Grand.

    They set up everything for you. If you need it done a specific way, just let them know, and they will take care of it. they really go above and beyond to make sure everything looks amazing
