Couples getting married on 14/september/2018 in British Columbia

View quoted message That's still a really good amount!

View quoted message Ya.... We are both pretty social people and have big families... So we are looking at a guest list of about 160 plus about 20 kids between them...BUT im gonna say 75% of the people invited are from out of town so i know a lot of them wont make it. We are expecting probably around 130-140 guests to actually make it.

View quoted message Omg! 160! No way lol. I thought even a 140 for us at a small venue is a lot

View quoted message We are going to try and do it on our own to save costs.... Unfortunately our guest list is much bigger than we anticipated so its going to be a lot of work haha. My mom and her husband have done some catering for groups of about 60 people at a time before, so they are heading it all up. Our guests list is currently sitting at about 160
Going for a simple bbq style menu! Pulled pork, bbq chicken, buns, salads, baked beans, and costco pies for dessert

View quoted message Haha thats amazing! Your lucky. Are you having it catered or are you making your own food ??

View quoted message Oh no! Im very sorry to hear that it hasnt been going well with them so far fingers crossed that it gets better!
Yes we are incredibly lucky that we can use her yard... It has kind of been a win-win be ause we get a venue and she gets all her yardwork and landscaping done! Haha

View quoted message That sounds amazing! What a treat to be able to hold the reception in her backyard. Awesome!
I'm honestly disappointed in the treatment from secret garden at this point. It's quite unprofessional. But I'm hoping in the end everything works out the way we imagine it

View quoted message Thats great! Ive been to a couple weddgs at the Secret Garden- it is a beautiful venue and they do such a good job takig care of everything.
Im a born and raised abby girl so a lot of my vendors are family friends and such. We have booked Aldergrove Regional Park for our ceremony and the reception will be at my mother in laws backyard by the airport. And we have booked Rachel Patterson ohotography- highly recomend her by the way!

View quoted message Hey girl!! Yeah I moved here just shy of a year ago We booked Secret Garden @ Woodbridge Ponds. So far we have Montana's bridal hair & Stefanie from Feel Beautiful makeup. Still need to solidify our DJ & bus/transportation
What have you booked so far?? Countdown is on
