I also just discovered, in my search for photos of it, that the gazebo is the exact same one which was filmed for Lost, for the scene where Jack married Sara. Though, in the Lost photo, there is a rogue tree....maybe a prop lol? It was a flashback scene, which Lost fans would know. It was the 'Do No Harm' episode.
Here is the reception ballroom we have had booked for us by Susan...note the loverrrly waterfall in the background, in the garden :-)
We are having 'food stations' as they are a cheaper alternative to a fixed menu. There will be different food stations, manned by a chef/s, where guests can choose from. Buffet-style, if you will. We had a large and varied choice but we ended up going for safe options; the requisite hors d'oeuvres to start, a pasta station, varied pasta with a couple of different sauce choices such as bolognese, a 'create-your own-salad' station (the choice in salads look yummy too), stir fry with a choice of chicken or a vegetarian alternative and we chose the ice-cream option for dessert, which gives you either vanilla or chocolate ice cream with a delicious list of add-ons such as chopped macadamia nuts, cookie nuggets, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate sauce etc etc, along with coffee and tea. Most people like ice-cream and we're keeping in mind there will also be wedding cake, (possibly chocolate mud-cake?) ...which is friendly to ice cream.
It's funny, it looks like our wedding choices are expensive. Our choices; location, food, using a wedding planner etc look that way but aren't blowing our budget really. Having a destination wedding might look like a more costly alternative to a wedding in your home city but it can cost the same in the long run, depending on how creative you get and getting the right people in to help plan it.
