    #3 because I am a fan of sweets and don't like wine.

  • martini bar sounds awesome

  • I said apps and martinis, because usually when I go to a wedding I go crazy on the apps and alcohol at the beginning, but by the end of the night when the sweets are brought out, I feel like I'm going to die from all that I ate/imbibed before and just the sight of them makes me feel a little ill.

    So I'd prefer extra cocktail party gluttony. :)

  • I voted apps and martini bar. I'm jealous of your wedding based on this poll alone.

  • I love martinis and since it's Maggiano's, I voted for 2 apps instead of a side, because I figured a side would be more pasta.

  • Def one with a martini bar! I think either one of those would be good.

  • Haha, thanks Jasmine!

    Mandy--the sides would probably wind up being garlic mashed and some kind of veggie.

  • Hmm, this is very interesting.  I think we were leaning towards martini bar and apps as well--looks like that might be the final choice!

    Plus, cocktail hour is at 7, dinner is at 8, so I think people will be hungry because it's late-ish.

    Hey, yeah, didn't you get this?  Can you tell me more about it?  Did you have the open bar package, too? Was it overkill?

    (Sorry, but when I asked my venue to tell me more about it, they were like "It's...a bar?  With martinis?")

    Yep, we did this. We needed to meet the room minimum also---so we added extra sides and the martini bar (the sides were overkill---to be honest, any additional food is, but there's no avoiding it).

    We had a premuim open bar to start with---and they just set out a menu with the martini's they made (which, if you ask me, I'm not exactly sure why they couldn't have made them without upgrading to them---assuming the bar is open and all). They were great---but had we not needed to meet the minimum, we wouldn't have done it.
