Okay, bloggers....I need your help!

My daughter is getting married! [Not to worry, I was a child bride.]

While she will be married in our church, the reception site is still being decided.

She has chosen 8-8-08, sort of a knock of of all those 7-7-07 weddings last year. Because 8/8/8 is a Friday, we are setting the time of the ceremony at either 5 or 6 pm so family, friends and coworkers will be able to make it.

This throws us into a formal evening affair, right? We want to have a grand affair, but on a little bit of a budget, and get the most bang for our buck.

The church is in the Windermere/Dr Phillips area, so the reception site should be within the same vicinity, give or take a couple of miles.

We plan a guest list of about 125-150, many from out of town, as far away as Alaska.

Question...just how negotiable are the prices we are getting from these hotels? What are the things I need to ask and how do I get them to work with me on price? And the photographer!

ANY ADVICE YOU CAN BLOG IS WELCOME!

WHAT LOCATIONS CAN YOU RECOMMEND?

I would suggest the Royal Pacific at Universal Studios......beautiful spot...being you are a Florida resident you can probably get discounts...very nice. Also, try other Disney Hotels..the Floridian.....they are to die for.

and then There's always the Beach. I will try and get some more details, as my realtor's son was married on the Beach front somewhere in either Cocoa or Daytona...lots of luck...how exciting!!!!

The Royal Pacific also offers discount for guest to stay...just go to universalstudios.com...and hit resorts...

I'm trying to find bloogers now that I am learning my way around this dadburn computer. I found you on a favotite list. I don't have any advice to help with your blog but I just wanted to say congratulations to your daughter. I just re-married Nov 07. Let's hope #3 is a charm, not a charmer LOL
