Heads up everyone. I need a couple of things from you guys. Since our crowd has swelled to over 40, we need to make a few adjustments.
First, the restaurant offers a couple of options for this size of a crowd.
1) For a set price of $35.00, each of us can select from 3 entrees, and everyone can have a starter and a dessert that would be predetermined.
2.) They could also put together another menu that would offer 1 appetizer, 1 starter, your choice of 3 entrees, and 1 dessert and each of us would pay for whatever we ordered.
My personal opinion is that it would be so much easier to go with the first option. This way everyone knows what they are going to be charged on their credit card. (any alcohlic beverages you may order would be additional charge, of course).
Also, for a group this size, we need to guarantee a number of attendees and I need that number by Sept. 13th-FIRM! We can go over the number by a small number, but we cannot have less than what they guarantee or will have to pay the $35. per ea. no show. So, for those of you who gave me soft numbers and maybes, please firm those numbers up.
Sorry about the changes, but this has turned into a mach larger group than we've had in the past,
and Atlanta is just overflowing with extra conventions that have been moved into the downtown facilities that were previously scheduled for New Orleans, so we have to adapt to the demands that are being put on all of the facilities there.
I'll be back soon with more info.
Thanks!
