Crystal Gardens Howell brides

I'm just starting the planning process and have been able to gather quite a bit of info through vendor's websites. Things have been hectic lately, so I'm also trying to get preliminary pricing info without calling and meeting a million different locales. I'm interested in Crystal Garden's Howell, does anyone have a general idea of the cost? Also, for those who have had receptions there, what was your impression? Thanks!

    We paid either $38.99 or $39.99 per person...it's been so long I can't remember, lol. That included the full bar. I have a review in my bio but I LOVED it! If you have any question you can e-mail me at tammara7 @ hotmail dot com

    We booked our reception there for next September in the smallest room (I think they call it the Celebrity Room?). We're working with Valarie and she's been very easy to work with so far. I don't remember specifically what we're paying PP (my planning book is at work!..), but I think it's close to $60/PP and that includes food (sit down or buffet), house bar, invitations (whether I use them or not), Wedding Cake (whether I use that, too or not) and DJ.

    I paid about the same as Tammara, as I too was married last summer. I just wanted to say that we loved it there. They were so easy to work with and very flexible. I ended up being under my minimum amount of guests and they agreed that I could have a selection of hor d ouerves and upgrade of bar to make up the difference. Plus when my cake maker forgot he was to place the flowers on my cake the pastry chef there jumped right in and handled it before I could tell. All the guests were very complimentary about the food, we had the buffet with carving station. All in all I would recommend them highly. HTH
