Anthony's Lake Club $99 Special?????

Did anyone go check out this venue and find out more about this particular special they are having? http://www.alc-catering.com/_fileCabinet/ALCDivine99PDF.pdfJust seems to good to be true. I mean how good is the DJ and Photographer here? Pictures are very important to me and I just want to know particularly about these  vendors for them in this package special they are having.

    Not sure about the place.. but if you really want May 9th it wont work cause it says only for Friday or Sunday weddings... It does sounds a little to good to be true though.. I am a little weary of places that are so cheap for ALL that.  Check it out though! :)

    Well May 9th is on a sunday.. but we are actually having to switch to the month of June now since my sister (MOH) is pregnant and due in may so she can't travel out of state. Just got that news last week from her! Talk about stress lol Yeah I hear ya! I am also suspicious of places like that with all that inclusive stuff included... U always wanna find out about the vendors and get REAL reviews

    maybe its a little negotiable? like you could get some sort of a credit if you didnt want to use their photographer? plus, its also a 100 guest minimum, so if youre set on doing only 70, thats gonna get mighty expensive to have to pay for 30 plates that arent there

    Hello! I am getting married at Anthony's Lake Club next friday (10.2.09) and am doing the $99 special.  I have nothing but RAVES this far.  The guy that owns Anthony's, Rocco, has helped us every step of the way and has been amazing.  One of our favorite people we met was the photographer, Mike.  We are IMPRESSED.  The wedding book you get is AMAZING, you get anywhere from 700-1000 pictures from your day, and the ones that aren't in your book, you get them on CD's and you have all rights so you can bring them anywhere to print them out or have them enlarged.  When you have a meeting with Mike he will show you the book and you are more than welcome to upgrade but you won't need to! The cake is also included.  I was a little annoyed that I had to go all the way to Trumball to meet with the people that are doing the cake, but once I got there, I saw why Anthony's uses this place!  I tried delicious cake samples and some cannolis.  Depending on how many people you have attending your wedding, you have anywhere from a 3 tier cake and up.  If you want some other things added, you can upgrade.  For my cake I chose, a marble cake with chocolate mousse filling, whipped cream frosting, decorative white dots around base of each layer, with fresh flowers on it, and that was all in the package, no extra charge.The DJ, Kirk is VERY nice and even gave us his personal cell phone number to call at any time if we had any questions.The only flowers that come in this package is simple bud vases.  We opted to have our flowers done privately and we are paying for that outside of the package deal.The food at Anthony's is AMAZING, and you can find tons of raves online.I most certainly do recommend this package deal to everyone and anyone!  Without this deal I am not sure my FI and I would have been able to even get married, we are young and on a budget!  If you have any other specific questions feel free to e-mail me here or at ldevietro@yahoo.com!
