I've gone back and forth from resturant to in-suite reception many times now, but I've decided on in-suite for good. I like the Vista (price particularly!) but I love the Apex Suite at Planet Hollywood. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that many brides/grooms have used Apex, but if you know of any in particular, please point me in that direction. I found a fairly recent thread by someone who booked Apex for their reception, but I never saw any reviews. My main concern is what will happen to our Apex reservation if we don't meet the 5 room block "requirement." I use quotes because they don't actually say in the email that it's required, but don't say that it's not.
Total Experiences has provided me a rate which will require me to make some budget trade-offs. I planned to use MC, but I don't think that will be an option any longer. I've seen many references to Jason's Deli as well, but I don't care much for them. Is there anyone else to reccommend for catering? Will I not find anything cheaper than MC? I've considered contacting Yolos or PF Changs in PH to see if they cater, or taking everyone to Spice Market Buffet before we go to the suite. Spice Market lacks a certain appeal I desire, but what else is to be expected? Does anyone else have another suggestion?
Although I haven't made a big check thread, I have at least booked our chapel (Silver Sky @ IP) and Tyler Freear for photography. Thanks for at least taking the time to read...I know this was a long one :S
