Catering Suggestions

[Ginofan]

TheTruth & I are still looking for a caterer for our wedding. We really don't want to spend over $8.00 per person since we have close to 400 guests. Do you guys know anyone or have a relatives in the business?

We don't care if it's a buffet or sit-down or if they have real china or disposable, we just need something good!:lol Please help us out if you can, thanks!

[ORION]

Keep the beer coming and we can BBQ all day.

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

But seriously, I just asked my friend who got married recently. They had decent Mexican food catered to their wedding. The white people loved it and the few of us Mexicans that were there liked it, too.

I'll pass his answer along when he gets back to me.

Bill Millers will be about $5-$6 a plate with 400.

This is Magnolia Gardens somewhere by Main St. They used to be open for lunch and were very good. I think they were just doing catering for a while, but I read last week that they were opening the restaurant back up.

Not sure what they charge, but doesn't hurt to call. Good luck!

Thanks JB.

Yeah, we have a Bill Miller's hook up but we wanted to see if there were any other options out there.

Bah, he said the place where they had the wedding handled the catering, too.

I never knew you could get married at Taco Cabana...

:lol

[JudynTX]

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting married at?

[baseline bum]

Shit man, getting a grip of chicken and beef fajitas from Taco Cabana doesn't seem like too bad an idea for $8 a person.

I'm not local so I can't help with your question but I wanted to say congrats to you and The Truth. 400 guests is quite the event, it promises to be a wonderful day. I hope it's perfect for you both. :toast

Isn't that a requirement at great weddings? The video is always so much fun.

Well, that settles that then! :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

if you need drinks, i k now a guy who owns a donkey....he post on this forum also hahaha

[Shelly]

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

Is that the place in L.A? I don't know why, but for some reason chicken and waffles just sounds so good to me.

[leemajors]

cut the big wedding, hit the JoP, then spend all that money saved on the reception.

:tu I was gonna say spend all the money on themselves, go on a cruise, get married on an exotic beach....

[SpursWoman]

I don't even know 400 people. :depressed :lol

[Ginofan]

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting married at?

We are getting married at St. Matthews on Wurzbach, but the reception is at Holy Trinity Banquet Hall off of Stone Oak.

Thank you so much, that's really nice of you to say :)

Haha, I would LOVE to just go and elope at this point but my family would be super dissapointed...I couldn't do that to them.

[Ginofan]

Well, that settles that then! :lol

Thanks for trying though!

[JudynTX]

Oh stop it, I bet you do. :lol

That sounds nice. We exchanged vows and held the reception @ Fort Sam Houston Golf Club. They set-up, catered and cleaned up for us. It took alot of stress off me, seeing as us women make all the arrangements. The guys just show up. :rolleyes :p:

[ploto]

If you are not going fancy, Grady's is good and not expensive at all.

Then tell them to pay!

[JudynTX]

Good luck and may you two have a long and prosperous marriage. :)

[mrsmaalox]

My thoughts exactly! I mean either way they are going to be happy for the couple right?

[Shelly]

I'm not sure I know 100 people. And for my mother being Italian, I certainly don't have tons of relatives!

[SpursWoman]

Oh stop it, I bet you do. :lol


Well if I do they never call me, so fuck if I'm dropping that kind of money on them when I can spend it on a new deck! :lol

I think that is sweet. :)

When is your wedding date?

[Sunshine]

I think that is sweet. :)

When is your wedding date?

October 25th!

Oh, and I don't have a dress yet :lol

[angel_luv]

October 25th!

Oh, and I don't have a dress yet :lol

Wow, girl! :lol

Should we organise a shopping gtg for you?

October is the best month to get married in, I think. :) Congrats!

[Notorious H.O.P.]

If you are considering the bbq route, show up one day to either Barbeque Station on 410 near Harry Wurzbach and Nachodoches, or BBQ Patio on the southside and give them a shot. I've seen their catering prices and they are at least comparable to Bill Millers and the food tastes better.

Other than that, if any of the big bridal fairs come into town, they have tons of caterers and food sampling.

LOL..Well, I know what I want from David's Bridal online collection and it will take less than a week to get here, so we're ordering in the next day or two. It will be a very small, casual wedding with less than 50 people and so I'm keeping it very simple...no big flowy dress with a veil and train.

Thanks! I'm very excited!

Sounds like a beautiful day.

I want a princess like wedding dress, but a sweet and simple one, like the one Julia Roberts had for her wedding to Gere in Runaway bride.
Also the one she had on when Gere was first interviewing her was nice too.

Mandy - Any Mexican or BBQ place in San Antonio can probably do it for you at that price (especially since you have so many people). Pick your favorite places and the cold call them and cut a deal.

Congrats again Sara and fatsack. :)

Oh and Angel ... are you and Bo officially engaged?

[SpursWoman]

Oh and Angel ... are you and Bo officially engaged?


Wha...?

[Sunshine]

Wha...?


She hasn't come back to answer yet...hmmmmm

[DannyT]

Bah, he said the place where they had the wedding handled the catering, too.

on a side note can you ask him where and how much they charged for a hall.

And does anyone else know where some decent places to hold a 60th birthday party at and about how much we are looking to spend with the security included

I was thinking about renting out something at sam but how hrd would it be for people to get on post with out DOD ID's?

All you need to present at Fort Sam is your ID and insurance to obtain entry. Lackland is a different story...

Thanks, I heard of the BBQ Station but I've never tasted them. I'll give them a call.

I think that's what I'm going to have to do. We do have a fav mexican restaurant but they are so small I doubt they would be able to handle our guests lol.


Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!


DannyT: Have you tried Pedrotti's Ranch? We had my aunt's 50th birthday party there and it was really neat. I'm not sure what the price runs though, sorry.

[DannyT]

yeah I understand, but dont you think it will be a hassle to do all this and then to have your car inspected. But I am thinking that this might be the cheapest way to go. But the biggest issue I have is that my brother for what ever reason cant get an idea an ID...I am starting to think this cat is into some Dexter type shit and has an APP out on his ass...but yeah I know about the whol escourt thing at lackland I work there...but I like that they dont want everyones ID to get on base...I looked into the ranch and found out that there is were evas heros was at I think...its in Helotes aint it?

I will see if I cant find some prices
thanks
