Just a grateful girl here.....😍

We used to perform with an a cappella group called Karoca🙏
If you're interested, I can certainly send over their contact info via private message...

Kate Gonzalez said:Hmm... Euroshop?

Nirs in a small town in the Midwest???? That's where you find the best deals!

They actually have them at Euroshop

Kenneth Ramos9 said:Can anyone drop more names of makeup artists? Like Lucija Spajić, Antonija Guć, or Tina Katalinić... I've seen them popping up all over this forum lately, so...🙏
By the way, does anyone actually buy cookies or brittle from Viadela? Are they any good?

I once tried the brittle and the peach pastries from Viadela, and they were actually rather lovely 🙏
as for the other cakes, they seemed homemade, so I didn't venture any further...

I am truly grateful for these findings!
A massive weight has finally been lifted from my shoulders...😍

Could someone please be so kind as to walk me through what these lab results actually signify... I am wondering if everything looks alright or if there is cause for concern...
erythrocyte sedimentation rate 3 (ref. interval 4-24)
prothrombin time-INR 0.98 (r.i. 2.0-3.5)
cholesterol 5.2 ( urine appears dark yellow, containing a fair amount of mucus and leukocytes at 2-3 (r.i. 0-2)

thank you🙂

David King72 said:Fine, if you say Diocletian's place is small, then I guess I owe you an apology...
But honestly, INO has two separate halls, and I had such a blast at the party there that I’m already heading back on April 25th.
One hall is on the ground floor while the other is upstairs,
and when I was actually at the party, I didn't even realize there was a second level; plus, they have a massive parking lot, great food, and the service is top-notch. 👍

they’ve added a massive new hall as well, though having attended a gala in the smaller one, I can only say🙏

Karen Rogers23 said:Does anyone know where I can pick up some suits for the big gala in Small Town, USA or somewhere nearby?
Thanks 😍

We actually picked up a suit just over a month ago at that shop near the Tesla plant—I can't quite recall the name of it...🙄 It was marked down by fifty percent, so we felt like we had truly struck gold... paying only $500👍😍

redviper17 said:Wait, back when was it only $38???😛
Last year, around June, I put down a deposit for September and ended up paying $41,
but now you're telling me it's jumped to $45!

Thanks for the heads-up...🙂

David King72 said:It was around thirty-eight bucks last time I checked, but honestly, who even knows what the price tag looks like these days?

I'm aware of that, but if my memory serves me correctly, I believe they've bumped it up to around 50 dollars, though I can't say for certain...

Does anyone happen to know what the current per-person rate is at the resort? 🙂I’m actually starting to pull the logistics together for this trip right now...

David King72 said:I’d absolutely suggest checking out videl over in 👍
.

I have to agree...😍

Angela Flores3 said:While I'm at it, I've gotta ask—does anyone have a lead on a killer hairstylist in Los Angeles who can handle wedding updos?

Vesna’s salon near the park—Nada is the stylist. I was quite pleased with her work, and my maid of honor was as well...👍>

Nicholas Ortiz8 said:Jacob Harris88, didn't you have those issues with the band? How did everything end up turning out in the end?

The band actually ended up being absolutely phenomenal👍👍👍
everyone was completely blown away, and I am honestly so relieved that I didn't go through with changing them...🙏🙏🙏(even if they did make my life a living hell for about five years straight...

Rebecca Nelson59 said:I’m still waiting for my better half to get off the cruise ship, so I haven't made it over to see the venue yet—but I am obsessed with those chairs. They look perfect in the hotel photos. Did you use any sort of covers for them, or did you leave them bare? If you happen to have a photo, I would be EXTREMELY grateful!!1🙂

I have to agree, the chairs are stunning, and I actually wanted them exactly as they are—without any bulky covers or linens, since I feel like that would just clutter up the aesthetic of the room...
Send me your email via private message and I will send over what I have, although my professional shots haven't arrived quite yet...🙂

Nicholas Brown84 said:Hey, Jacob Harris88—could you please, please write that thing about the cookies for me? I think I asked you a few pages back, but maybe you missed it or something... I really don't want to have to type the whole thing all over again.😢

I have provided you with my response...🙂 The page following your inquiry...🙂

Rebecca Nelson59 said:Thanks, ladies...
mops0807—could you give me the lowdown on the service? How’s the food? And how far in advance did you have to book the hall? Regarding the pricing, I read somewhere that it was $35 plus $15 for drinks? Is that still the case?

I actually booked my entire month-long trip before the Pirate arrived🙂
The summer months are absolutely packed, but since we went during the second month, they actually had some availability left😍
It was $50 per person, though there is definitely room for negotiation (we didn't want the standard meal option, and since we handled the deposit at the very last minute, we ended up paying just $40 per person)😍
The servers were wonderful, and the food—especially the lamb, which caught me completely by surprise—was simply outstanding🙏
We even received a complimentary one-night stay in an apartment (though we eventually decided to extend it to two nights)😍
Honestly, you can work out just about any detail with Mateo, whether it's the decor, the menu, or the drinks...
He even let us host a welcome party by the pool, which was a massive hit with everyone👍
If there is anything else you need to know, please don't hesitate to ask😍

Karen Cruz2 said:Hey!
I'm thinking about grabbing some of those cookies for a sailing trip, so I wanted to see if you knew if they actually carry them?
And where are they even located?

I believe they do, though I can't say for certain... Their main headquarters is over in San Jose, but they also have a little kiosk at the downtown farmer's market—that yellow stall where you can grab a catalog featuring their entire cake selection—plus they have a small shop out toward the suburbs somewhere...

Rebecca Nelson59 said:I know we’ve already gone down the rabbit hole regarding deli meats—enough said there—but I’m asking for some help navigating a dilemma—or let’s call it what it really is, a trilemma. I’m torn between choosing Pirate, San Antonio, or Bolero. The catch? I’m only catering for about 90 people, maybe even fewer, which means I have an equal number of pros and cons for every single option. I’d love to get your take on this because, frankly, more heads are better than one!

I actually had my wedding in San Antonio back on February 14th, so my experience is still very fresh...🙂😍
Everything was highly recommended🙏, especially considering such a smaller group size—we had 115 guests, which felt a little tight, though I suspect they might tell you that 150 is the ideal number...
The servers, the food, everything was absolutely wonderful...👍👍👍

Nicholas Brown84 said:So, what does a cake like that actually run them? I was thinking about asking if they could recreate Times Square for me, though I have no clue if they even do stuff like that...
And how did you pull off the whole dessert situation—having your family bake everything? Do they actually need some kind of official certification or something? How many of their pastries did you end up grabbing, and what's the damage on the price tag? Thanks!🙂

Good grief, my eyes nearly popped out of my head $400(that cake was a massive 4 feet tall)🙂
As far as I recall from the catalog, they don't have the Plaza design listed, but you could always give them a call and ask
if they can do a custom order for you.
When I checked with the venue manager (we held it over at St. Anthony's😍), he gave me the green light to bring in homemade food without any hassle whatsoever.
Their pricing is roughly $12 per pound (which is incredibly affordable, honestly...🙂). I only picked up a few pounds of peaches for the decor, since I knew I'd already prepared about 100 pounds of homemade desserts myself.
That said, I've had their pastries at Muset's before, and they truly are wonderful...
