Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

I went, I won the Fox Hollow Inn gift basket... and I really liked Body Rock, anyone booked with them?

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

I did not go, wish I had, but here's what I would love to see on this thread:

Suggestions/hints/tips from past/current CB Brides
Updates from girls who visit, attend tastings, get deals, info. from CB
Questions and answers regarding room layout, color ideas (given the unique decor of the place)

And any other damn thing we need/want to say/know about CB!!!

I love that place so much!!! The FH died when we walked in, and he was like "this is it" immediately, and oddly enough, my MOH was married there in 1995, and I loved it then . . . . it's only gotten better!

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Well lets see.... I am getting married on June 20th in the Normandy room. Same thing happened with me and my FH.


I have booked everything already so if you need quotes let me know.

I went for the tasting and the food was AMAZING! They brought out alittle of the Chateau Briand steak, samon and chicken. Some of the Antipasta and desert. Everything was very good! Tonight we tried the passed food and that was all good as well.


I thought the back as very nice before but not it is like a heaven! It is almost like a getaway spot. It is so nice!

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Is the outside completely finished now?

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

The last time i was there it was like 90% finished.

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Good to hear. We are having the indoor CH but we can go outside during, because the courtyard is off the CH room and because we're the last of the night . . . . I'm so excited. Does anyone know if they staff the bar outside for indoor/outdoor CH's?

I have all my vendors, but I might go with a DOC if things are too hectic as the date draws nearer.

I'm in the Saturnia for the reception . . . .

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Here are the rest of them. I must say these pictures does not give the outside justice. its 100 times nicer.

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

oh. good question. Im not sure. I dont know if the outside is available during my CH. I am assuming so because my ceremony is there but i will have to check on that. My reception is in the normandy room. I just love that place.

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

I love how modern everything is!

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

fh isnt to crazy about the floor thing, but I sure as hell am. lol

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

My MOH was in that room, and we needed a 200 min for Saturday night Mem Day Weekend to have that room, which we honestly cannot make. We are at 161 invites with a list that is probably larger than it should be. so, we're in the room that fits 200, but our min was only 125! Yay!

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

We were orig. in your room but fh has such a large family we had no choice but to get the bigger room. We got a 220 min but a cheaper price pp.

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

Man, if I had 220 people to invite I'd lose my mind!!! How fun that will be though!! I'm old as the hills, so there aren't as many family members around anymore I wanted 100 people!!! And I'm shocked we came up with 160+

Re: Official Chateau Briand Thread

I have a 150 min,( I have a friday night) but there are about 250 on my invite list.

Re: ~*~*~*~*Official Chateau Briand Thread ~*~*~*~*

Thanks! I was looking and couldn't find it. I think I will look at both? Idk



Oh and I have 260 on my list so I am going CRAZY!

Re: ~*~*~*~*Official Chateau Briand Thread ~*~*~*~*

i CB & so did all of my guests :)


We originally had the saturnia booked w/ a 150 min....... And what do you know we invited 250 --- and about 2 months before our wedding I decided to see if they have a bigger room available "just in case" thank goodness they did because I dont know how 190 pppl would have fit in the saturnia. We had the normandy room and let me tell you, coming out of the floor was the best thing - ppl could not believe it (we kept it a secret) they were like what the heck is going on . amazinggggggg

Re: ~*~*~*~*Official Chateau Briand Thread ~*~*~*~*

Yeah, I think the estimate that Saturnia seats 200 is a packed house!! With our list at 160, I expect we'll be fine, and I truly hope there are only 12 tables. Then with me, FH and vendors, I'll hit my minimum and only that.

I'm curious about the CH now though, so if anyone has had their CH there recently, please post about the inside/outside thing. I'm going to call my BM, but I'm waiting until I have about 10 questions . . . . making a list!!

I know they say over 300 fits in that room...in all honesty be careful! And do the oval tables not round. I had round tables and 150 and swear we could only fit 2 more tables (total of 170) it was PACKED!!!
