Had my daughter’s wedding here for over $100 a head and we were not impressed with the value, nor the ⎌professionalism of the coordinator. I will give you the high, no let me rephrase, the low lights of the reception. After the ceremony we headed into the lounge area for cocktails and hor’s deouvres. There were some cheeses, veggys and dip. About 10 minutes later we were blessed to be given some crackers to go with it. The hot items began to come out approx 5 minutes after that with butler service only, no table with chaffing dishes. The trays being offered had 12 to fifteen items, and after a few steps they were empty. They made 8 to 10 passes and that was it, very skimpy and not enough of it. Further as one of our dinner choices we got the filet. We specifically asked about cooking temperature and Jackie told us we would be asked how we liked it cooked. If that had happened I might not be writing this, but as you can guess nobody asked and the beef came out medium well with no pink at all. Finally as an added touch the coordinator Jackie was dressed in street clothes the whole time, certainly not professional attire for a supposed high end wedding. I know she could have done better since the next morning when we went to gather our things, there was going to be another function and she had on a lovely dress, hair nicely done, and make up in place. Why she slighted us I don’t know. There are so many places you can do better for your money.
