(traveling gal, i know you were married there - you were actually a huge help to me months ago - thank you again!) thanks for letting me share my excitement! now back to the sticker shock of photographers and djs. ouch! 7.25.09

It sucks! So congrats on finally booking your venue and your date, it's very exciting. ******** R & J 08-02-08 Expecting baby on 12-30-09

If it is I work for the company and it's awesome that your getting married there. They push us all REALLY hard to do EVERYTHING for the guests. EX: open doors, lead them to the restroom, pull out chairs, fold their napkins when they go to the bathroom, etc. We have Chart houses here, but I don't know if its what your talking about. Landry's INC owns it, along with a TON of other things. Like Saltgrass steakhouse, Vic and Anthonys, the Rainforest cafe, etc. You have nothing to worry about if it's the place I'm thinking of. They will do everything perfect and your guests will love it! Congrats! Stephanie

Belle Bridal off of PCH is closing their doors, so everything is 50% off. It's been going on for about a month so I don't know what sort of selection they might still have. I was able to get flower girl dresses for cheap.
