Reception Hall Update
While we were driving to Holyoke, we heard back from Mr. Biggs. Everything they told us while on the phone contradicted what we had been told before. Apparently now we cannot bring in our own caterer; we have to use theirs. Their rates have gone up dramatically, and they basically told us they could take or leave our business. We aren’t really in the mood to buy bad food and bad business for those whom we invite to our wedding, so Mr. Biggs is now out of the running. Next up???????

Le Creperie; Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
When traveling in Europe, it is not uncommon to eat your lunch from a street vendor. Often times, these vendors have food that is just as tasty (and much more inexpensive) than a restaurant. That is how it is at Le Creperie. Le Creperie is right next to Le Provencal in Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the food at Le Creperie is much better. They have a selection of both sweet and savory crepes to choose from, all for $6.95 or less. The portions are big; one crepe is large enough for one person, and two people could split a sweet crepe for dessert. All food is prepared fresh, and right in front of you when you eat at Le Creperie. They do not have an attached dining room, however, but they do have a seating area right next to them with plenty of seating and an opportunity to people watch. We would highly recommend eating at Le Creperie the next time you’re wandering through Paris, Las Vegas.

Stratosphere Hotel and Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada
When Jonathan and I decided to travel to Las Vegas, again, we decided that since there are so many different options for places to stay, we would try someplace new. We decided on the Stratosphere. We knew going into it that it was pretty far away from everything else on the strip, but we weren

Vino Bello Resort, Napa, California
There are a plethora of choices when looking for a place to stay in wine country California. Choices range from several bed and breakfast places, traditional hotels, and even condos. When we were traveling there, my sister and I decided to opt for the condo option, after much debate. We decided to give Vino Bello Resort a try. Boy, are we glad we did. We stayed in a studio, because that is what they had available at the time. They also offer one bedroom and two bedroom condos. Each condo included it

The Heat is On: Caterer Search
Well, even without a reception location we thought we might as well start hunting for a caterer. After looking through pricing and other information for several caterers, we’re a bit concerned. Right now our thoughts are that we’ll go with Bennett’s BBQ or Qdoba. They are far better price wise than any “real” caterer we’ve looked at. And, their food is better. We’ll see…
