Raymond Brooks7 said:Look, just ask whoever is playing the music. Usually, bands already have their own setlists ready to go... you just pick from what they've got.😉
redviper17 said:We had already paid half upfront, like a deposit... My husband was right there with me, and we made it very clear that we weren't satisfied. But she just kept playing the victim, saying how sorry she was and how hard things were for her. She even claimed my cakes arrived late, so she had to pay another woman to pack everything up on Saturday morning, and then suggested she could just refund us later $33 😳.... Maybe we shouldn't have handed over the cash, but I've officially cut ties with her and told her straight to her face that I wouldn't recommend her to anyone! I'm only sharing this so you ladies know to always get a firm price upfront, rather than having someone give you an estimate like $2000 and then hitting you with a much higher bill at the end!
Since our party went so smoothly and was otherwise well-organized, this was really our only complaint. Plus, the cookies and the cake were delicious, so I decided to let it go... 🤷
redviper17 said:Here’s a little heads-up from my side: ladies, please be extremely careful when you're booking a vendor for an American cake service. Don't get me wrong, the cakes and pastries themselves are delicious, but that woman absolutely wrecked me... I picked out a specific dessert display a whole year in advance, only for her to show up on my wedding day with something completely different! My husband and I were totally losing our minds when we saw what was being served in the hall. I even went as far as bringing her a photo of myself in my wedding dress just so she could see the colors—it was white with pink accents—and I explicitly told her, "I want white cakes with pink decorative details." Then, she calls me just three days before the reception claiming she had a "vision," saying she knew something else would look better with the dress. I figured, okay, fine, thinking she meant the table decor, but then she serves us these huge, greasy purple things and a completely different display! And wouldn't you know it, she charged me more for the cake than originally agreed $167! 😠 On top of all that, she actually billed me extra for packaging the treats for an hour or two; she charged me $200!!! That's something that should honestly be included in the price of sweets that are already $30/kg!!!
So, just a word of caution regarding Bridget. She acts incredibly sweet to your face, but then she screws you over and plays dumb, acting shocked by the situation while charging you for everything. To make matters worse, her son just stands right there next to her defending her every move!
Adam Bishop20 said:Hey Holly Ann! I think it's around 38 Euros, but I'm not 100% sure. I called them once just to get the scoop, but honestly, the Bolero looked way better to me, so I ended up ditching the whole idea. If I were you, I'd just give them a ring—it's not like it's rocket science, right?!
Here's the link if you want to reach out to them!
Later...

I honestly don't have the words for behavior like that. And then they act surprised when people stop showing up to church? How can anyone stick by "pastors" like that... A guy at a local diner approached me last night—probably because I was still visibly shaken from earlier—and mentioned how much he loves Notre Dame in Paris, suggesting we should visit. Look, I get it; dealing with all sorts of people isn't easy, but how can you, as a priest, lack even a shred of basic humanity and just brush off two young people like that? Where is the heart? I can't even find the right words; it's just shameful. He isn't acting like a human being. When we walked out, I spent two hours crying... just because someone would behave that way.
It makes me sick to my stomach. I don't even want to see him again. Thanks, I think I'll do what you suggested. Or maybe I'll ask our own priest to handle this, since he’s a good man and absolutely adores my son—you wouldn't believe how much he likes him once he meets him. Either that, or I'll go back to that place myself, but this time I'll be the one doing the talking. I'm coming in to book an appointment. Please just note down the date and time, and I'll bring my priest with me. Thanks, and goodbye.
rustyorca122 said:Yeah, I saw some girls commenting on here saying that once you hit about 80 people, the space starts feeling a bit tight... but since we’re looking at maybe 70, maybe pushing 80 tops, it should actually be pretty cozy..
And honestly, if I could emphasize one thing, it'd be making sure the portions are decent so nobody leaves hungry.
I know exactly how much it sucks when the food is just bad or there's barely anything on the plate..
We had this nightmare situation once over at Westin in NYC—not enough food, everything was lukewarm and just totally bland... and the bill was absolutely astronomical..
To me, $50 still feels reasonable if you compare it to what you'd pay for a meal in downtown Chicago or around there..
But I get it, for $50, my guests better leave feeling full and happy..
Was there lamb on the menu? How was it? Some girl was raving about it earlier so I figured it would be good..
Ugh, man..
Thanks so much, you're seriously helping me out with all this advice.. I'll probably go check it out in person, but honestly, nothing beats hearing from people who've actually been there. You know how it is, everyone's got an opinion on everything, obviously.
Oh, and they told us we can bring our own booze if we have specific whiskeys or certain foreign beers we want them to serve.. which sounds pretty sweet to me.
rustyorca122 said:Maybe they just stuck to some standard set menu... but I gotta say, it bugs me that you felt the portions were tiny and the food was a letdown..
We were actually planning on just putting together our own custom menu to fit what we wanted. We weren't really leaning towards the classic route..
So, how was the service? Were the servers decent—you know, quick, sharp, and able to fly under the radar? And was the drink selection alright?
Thanks a million for the heads up..
rustyorca122 said:Who even are you?
I mean, I read through the thread, but then some girl mentioned being "careful," and now I'm just sitting here wondering why she said that... kind of freaks me out a little.
Check what on Saturday? *confused*
Honestly, I’m mostly looking for feedback from people who actually had their wedding at the San Antonio venue... like, tell me about the food and the service? The posts haven't really gone into detail there. And seriously, that comment about being careful is really starting to bug me. Like, why??
stormyraven46 said:Hey, Larry Ross43, I’ve been "keeping an eye on you" ever since that ring purchase—what’s the deal currently?!
Is there a date set yet?
rapidmason10.;22714908 said:Joseph Wilson31 said:Yeah, I totally see what you mean—those girls are seriously lacking that studio vibe, so now I'm actually curious, like, what makes them such top-tier picks and what kind of price range are we even looking at here?
I've seen their work and if the price really is $1,300, then I think it's worth it... I know some people charge the exact same or even more and the photos aren't even that great...
hiddenharbor84 said:They'll do weddings—it just depends on who you are and who you know. I think you get the point.
Nicholas Ortiz8 said:Larry Ross43, I honestly don't know if anyone has gotten back to you yet, but a few years back we were asking around about V. California and they told us the venue rental alone was going to run us around 2,500 bucks. We heard The Arcade was doing some catering for parties over there, but then once we finally tracked down enough people from The Ville, we were told they aren't even doing weddings anymore... Who knows if things have changed since then? Your best bet is probably to check with The Arcade, because if you look at their website, they still have some photos from when they catered events at that location.
Jack Miller4 said:So, we have the group Best. I can't give a definitive verdict just yet—I really need to get through my audition process first—but from everything I've gathered so far, they seem quite talented. They're actually playing at the Tropic Club tomorrow starting at noon 😕. If you want a little preview, there are a few clips available on YouTube
