Thank you! I will post a review asap when we get home! If you guys have time, read this whole forum it is super helpful! Lise

Hi Abby, my wedding is in two weeks and I am having a rooftop ceremony. I will answer all your questions when I get back! we are there from April 15-29. Lise

Hi Sandi! I added you I do agree, I would love to have the dinner outside but my fiance really doesn't want to if there will be other people around. He is worried about the speeches and people feeling really uncomfortable. If I can't convince him then I think we are going to compromise and have the dinner inside for 2 hours and then move to the lobby terrace for the dancing/reception. What package did you get? I don't remember seeing one with an outdoor reception. Thanks for your help! Lise

Hi Sandy! It's great to hear that everything went so well! We are leaving in 9 weeks, it's coming up fast and all the little details are finally getting decided. we have been thinking we wanted to have the dinner in the private banquet hall for just that reason, the privacy! but after reading your post I am thinking twice. did they put up semi walls to block off your area? and how much did the reception cost you? we were planning on doing the lobby terrace after the dinner for the dancing etc. but it would be nice to do it all in the same place. Thanks for your help! Lise

Thats funny, I grew up in Bonnyville AB so I am well aware! I guess it's a 4 hour drive from Slave lake but pretty much as far north. I miss home, just not the snow I tried to find you on facebook, I found one Jacquelyn Penner but she had blonds hair, maybe that was you? I am pretty easy to find, Lise Weinberger.

Hey Jacquelyn! thats awesome!!! you must be counting the minutes, I know I will be! 46 people, that's great. What a surreal and amazing experience it will be to have everyone together for a whole week! or two! I can't wait. where are you from? I am originally from Calgary but my fiance is Norwegian so I live in Norway now. But I have not forgotten the wonderful Canadian winters!!! lol -33 is pretty nasty. thinking about Mexico probably helps!!

Jacquelyn, thats awesome! I will find you for sure! when do you leave? Lise

Jacquelyn thanks for the info! I agree it is totally worth the extra money. I am going to hire Sascha Gluck, his work looks amazing! You must be getting so excited! I still have just about 5 months to go. I cant wait to hear how the last two weddings went! Lise
