Renard and I met with the Marriott wedding planner this past Friday and what a wonderful experience that was. She answered so many questions for us and gave us a lot of insight on things we needed to be doing within the next month or so. One of many things that we talked about was deciding on the wedding cake. I had no clue what kind/type of cake we were looking for. Several months prior I looked in a wedding cake magazine but hadn’t thought much about it as there were more important things to cover. With our wedding cake being included in our package she suggested we begin thinking about what we wanted. She casually mentioned that the company that would be providing our cake was having an open house on Sunday and if possible we should try and check it out. So I looked into it and decided to register for the Sunday open house.
On Saturday, I casually mentioned to Renard that I had registered us for the open house, to my surprise he agreed to go with me. Upon arriving at the open house it was a little hectic with various people browsing various cake options and taste testing several different flavors. I decided that I would browse the cakes that were on display while also looking in the catalogs that showed past cakes/events that they had done. There were several cakes that caught my eye, and one in particular that I kept going back to. Shortly after we browsed, we decided to taste the various flavors of cakes that they had to offer. WOW!!! They had about a dozen different flavors of cakes and all of them were amazing!
After our quest to try almost all of the flavors they had, Renard and I both decided on the 3 flavors we liked best. After that we decided we should probably set up an appointment for a consultation. We meet with one of the representatives and scheduled our appointment. She then explained the specifics of our package and walked us around to the various displays to show us what was included in our package. Of course I still had my eye on that one cake so of course I inquired about it. There were a few items on the cake that weren’t included in our package, so after a few modifications we were able to close on a deal (of course with Renard’s approval, but I could tell he could care less). I was so excited because we were able not only to taste the various flavors and decide which we liked best (as a matter of fact we could have up to four flavors in our wedding cake), but also decide on the cake design for our wedding. It’s always exciting to mark off items on the checklist!!!
