Questions

I am writing out a few questions to ask the people at Annabella when I visit next month:

Can you accommodate 100 people for an indoor reception and ceremony?
Do you discount the vendors if we do an all inclusive wedding?
Do you have pictures of Annabella decorated for Christmas?
Do you have pictures of the complimentary centerpieces?
What vendors do you prefer (if we do not do all inclusive)?
Do you have a lot of outdoor December weddings?


I wrote out my guest list earlier in the week and I came up with 52. Robert's parents think they will have about 30 people. Robert plans to invite a lot of his friends. Our wedding party will probably consist of about 16 people. The problem is there are only 200 indoor chairs listed for use on Annabella's web site. I am little concerned about planning an outdoor wedding (300 chairs available). I am wondering if I should look into other venues, of course the church, but they only have room for 100 in the chapel and we will have to have the reception somewhere else (headache). I have heard of people booking as many as 20% too many, because so many people don't come anyway. I am scared of doing this. I maybe could rent more chairs from someone?

I need to check the Farmer's Almanac for next year. I have no idea how to do this, or whether it is even out for 2009? I am new to the Farmer's Almanac game.
