I am just wondering why is no one using the gazebo. I was going to use it because its unique. So, is there something I should know?

For the cocktail menu ..what is everyone choosing?

[rdsjcr]

Can someone explain to me how the menus work I feel so dumb- haha.

 

For example:

 

For this buffett-- do we only get to pick 1 salad, 1 hot dish, and so on...

Caribbean Buffet Dinner

 

Salad bar

Crab salad

Tuna salad

Tomato and smoke salmon

Avocado and shrimp salad

Tropical fruit salad

Green salad

 

Hot dish

Rice with beans and fried plantain

Chicken breast filed with vegetable served with mango sauce

Sea bass filet with coconut sauce

Mix vegetables with garlic butter

Stuff potatoes with bacon and cheese

 

Show cooking

Baby back ribs with rum BBQ sauce

Beef kebabs with mushroom and bell peppers

 

Dessert

Pineapple turnover

Warm apple pie

Chocolate cake

 

And then for the sit down... Do we get all of that (escargot, spinach salad, and cream of brocolli) and then the CHICKEN or the PENNE??

 

No 2

Feuillete of escargot served with doble cream bordelaise sauce

Spinach salad served with duck confie and balsam vinaigrette

Cream of broccoli with parmesan cheese

Chicken breast filed with spinach and provolone cheese served with saffron sauce

“ORâ€

Penne with Provencal sauce serve with shrimp and grill scallop

millefeuille of wild berry served with Irish cream

thats the closest spot to one of the bars and the pool is right there as well - its a pain but if you go thru this thread I know there were pictures of how close the structure was to the pool, but the pictures that were just posted today are beautiful

To my understanding the buffet included all those items, but if you have the sit down all your guests have to have the same entree. If you are having more than 40 guests there is no choice but to have the buffet.

 

Happy planning!

I don't think there is anything wrong with it, just a personal choice I guess My fiance really wanted it to be on the beach, and I agreed. The only con of the wedding gazebo to me was they placed it almost in the thick of things - so I felt it wouldn't feel private enough for me, personally. But I do think it's unique looking and in the last set of wedding pictures posted they were married under it and it looked very cool

There's no wrong answer - if you like it, go for it!

Does anyone have pictures of the cakes that you can choose from?

I can see that there are going to be some misunderstandings along with way with Ana as I asked her a simple question but got an answer I didn't really understand but hey, everything will be fine when we all meet her to finalise our weddings.

Can you please post pics of the cake options ana sent you? thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of the beach setup?
