I have been continuing to email Caseley’s and PeiWeddings.com and haven’t made any decision as of yet. Dad and Mom were down taking pictures at Argle Twin Cottages yesterday. The location is not open yet so still needs to be cleaned up but doesn’t look like a bad place. I did notice however that there is more cottages next to them which I didn’t expect. That opens up the noise situation of the dance. We have already received the permission from the Two Cottages but not sure if we need to get the permission of the next door neighbours. That is if they are still there after labour day.
I inquired with PeiWeddings about their caterer referrals. She referred me to Sizzler’s which I already was in communications with. I was glad to hear that that means PeiWeddings must have worked with them before. Sizzler’s has more of the food we want. We want a more casual wedding and don’t really want the three course meal.
While out taking pictures yesterday for us, mom and dad came across another location in Stan Hope. It was just a really pretty location so checked out there site and sent them an email. One of their managers forwarded it on to their Director of Sales. I sent this on Saturday so will like get something back beginning of next week.
Browsing around I found another person who pulled off a reception idea I’d like to try. Rather than putting all those little camera’s on everyones table I’d love to find an photo booth – I can’t really say it any better than Cabel did so I will just quote him:
A quick wedding recommendation: for some really fantastic, non-cheesy photographic memories of your guests, look for a local distributor of good old fashioned photo booths. None of this fancy-pants digital stuff — we’re talking a green, incandescent bulb that says “smile”, little strips of paper sent by an ancient motor into various vats of chemicals, dropped into your hands still wet, a cool little honeycomb texture running through the paper and an ever-so-slight sepia tone. These are the real memories, four classic frames at a time.

I really like the pixel art on the save the date email as well, not sure if the bride will be as big on it though
