Have you tried looking on ebay? I'm not sure what material you're looking for but here's a link I found for coral organza...but I'm sure you can search for satin as well:

Hi guys!  Does anyone know if the CECO terrace and the Event terrace are the same?  They look the same in photos, so I'm not sure why there are 2 names.  And does anyone know what kind of capacity that area has?  We may have around 80 people and it doesn't look too big...

The CECO Terrace and Event Terrace are the same. Not sure why there's the two names. When I went on my site visit, I was told that the capacity is 50-60 people with a dance floor in the middle or 100 without the dance floor.

Thanks!  While you were there, did you see any inside options for reception?  I want it outside, but we're unsure if that will be too uncomfortable in July.  Does anyone else have any experience there in the summer?

Alexis,

 

I remember them saying they can do it inside at the Toscano restaurant,     my opinion if you want to do it outside, do the Spice Terrace

Hey Alexis, I was specifically interested in outside for my dinner reception so most of my questions were geared towards that but when we talked about inside we were talking about for up to 30 people for my rehearsal dinner. Here's what I have in my notes for 30 people:

 

Toscana:

-Can do one large table outside of the restaurant

-If inside, would be smaller tables

 

Agave:

-Can accommodate a large table in their private room

 

Spice Terrace:

-Can accommodate 30 people at large table for rehearsal dinner

-100-120 people for dinner reception

 

Ballroom (Inside CECO Terrace)

-Can accommodate 60 people

 

 

I have pictures of Spice Terrace and the Ballroom if you need them.

Hi All, 

I think I may be the next bride up! I get married at EPM on 8/21/12.  Even though I do not post much now I will be sure to write a very detailed review upon my return since I have received so many great tips and advice from all if you.

I have asked Nayeli at least 70 questions in the last 6 months and I think I am finally at the point that I don't have anything else to ask her.

 

One quick question for past brides tough-

I am planning on having my reception on the event terrace (weather permitting of course..) Is there a private bathroom there where I can put a basket of things for my guests like bandaids, hairspray, tylenol, gum etc.. and to also store some makeup for any touch ups I may need? I worry that if it's a bathroom that the other hotel guests can use that the things may get taken.  

 

My advice for future brides is this... If you want any of the extra things, make sure you email Nayeli now about pricing.  Some prices for things she quoted me 8 months ago has now gone up but she will honor the old pricing.  Examples of the 'extras' that she has tried to charge me more for are: guitar player for the ceremony, vendor fee for using an outside DJ, and other decor type items.  

 

Happy planning!

Shannon

What is everyone doing regarding favors? I'm particularly worried about shipping. Any suggestions? Also what photographer are most going with?
