Thanks in advance

I actually know a guy from a small town in the Midwest... I could probably get his number for you.

His base price starts at $500, and if you include the full wall painting package, it goes up to about $1667.
The thing is, he’s pretty flexible—you can basically chat with him about your budget, and he’ll find a way to make it work for you.

I can shoot you his cell number via DM if you need it!

Could you send me the number? 🙂

Does anyone know of any local folk bands around Cleveland or the surrounding area that could just provide some background music? I'm thinking maybe an hour or two of playing... they don't need to be big-name professionals or anything fancy... I just want to see if there's any live music available in the area 🤣

So, I’m on the hunt for a killer DJ for a wedding down in Đakov next year...
Anyone got any solid leads or recommendations?

Hannah Bailey6 said:Has anyone actually checked out the new Admiral Exclusive lounge over in Mirkovac yet? Also, how’s the food at the Admiral in general? It looks pretty budget-friendly from what I can tell...


We reserved that hall for next year, back in May.
We actually attended a wedding there this past Saturday. The venue itself is stunning; my first impression was 😍😍😍
The service was top-tier, the staff was polite, and everything was handled seamlessly. They kept the food replenished constantly, and you won't find any issues with the facilities—the cleaning crew stays on top of things...
I was thoroughly impressed 🙂 and you won't regret it... though I would advise booking early, as they’ve been shuffling many reservations from the old Admiral location to the new one.

I'm heading out to Svatovi on September 25th, so I’ll finally get to check everything out in person. If the vibe is right, I’ll probably pull the trigger on a reservation this Sunday. Right now, June 11th is wide open, and that date looks pretty good on my calendar. By the way, how's the food? Is it actually decent?

We’re originally from Memphis, but since there isn't a banquet hall over there that can handle 250 guests, we're going to have to head over to VA. I'm not really feeling that place up toward Peter... I don't know why, and I also heard the food isn't exactly great either.

If you end up in VA, maybe check out Baron Trenk's hall (near the outskirts), or Lucy's place over in the suburbs—just so you can compare. All these spots stay booked year-round, which usually means they're solid. They are good, honestly. Personally, I prefer the vibe at the Admiral, but those other places are up to 50% cheaper, so...$20

btw... June 11th is my date at the Admiral too...

Hey everyone!
So, I’m currently staring at a blank page trying to actually "set a budget" for this wedding we're planning...
Is there any kind soul out there who can give me a little "guidance" on how to tackle all this?
Here’s the deal... we’ve already got a nice little fire station hall booked up in a small town in rural America.
But now I need EVERYTHING—from the tiny details down to the suits—and honestly, where’s the best place to shop for all this stuff around the Midwest?
1. How much food should we even get? Like, if we’re doing lamb and pork, what’s the right ratio for about 200 people? And what kind of ballpark figure am I looking at just for the catering side of things?
2. Drinks and booze
3. Videographers and photographers
4. Decorations (for the hall, the church, ribbons on the cars, etc.)
5. The band (please, send your best recommendations!) and obviously, they'll need to include those traditional musicians to play for the bride during the entrance
6. Invitations
7. Suits and the wedding dress
8. And basically anything else I haven't thought of yet... and PLEASE, let me know roughly how much certain items cost. THANKS! =)

Here’s my rough breakdown for you... You can probably find a photographer or videographer starting around $5,500, if I recall correctly. If you're looking to save a bit, maybe check out some of those local outlets in the suburbs? Everything is usually half the price there. For the band, expect to pay closer to $7,500—I think that might even include some live musicians. As for invitations, it really depends on your style; just browse a few sites like Minted or Etsy to get an idea. Flowers should run you about $2,000. Honestly, if you want, I can send over the rough budget I'm putting together for next year.
I hope nobody holds me to these exact numbers, as this is all just a ballpark estimate... You might find things cheaper, or perhaps more expensive... but that's the gist of it.

Hey, did they take over the entire property or just the hall? We're still debating whether to book the hall itself. Does anyone know what the new Admiral's deposit looks like? Is he more expensive than the previous guy or actually cheaper? Thanks in advance!

Oh, definitely, please do... just send over that estimate of yours! We're just starting to crunch the numbers and figure out the smartest way to do this, so any input at all is super helpful... thanks a bunch! =)

I personally booked Ivan's Castle in Ivankovo... and honestly, it seems like everyone has nothing but praise for them. Plus, it's quite affordable 🙂. As for that hall near Peter, I've heard the same rumors myself.
