What's there even to ask about? 🤷
Actually, I wasn't even asking for recommendations on where to go; I was simply seeking an opinion on whether the price seems reasonable.☕
frozentiger2 said:We just booked the bolero venue ourselves. It’s about a month away, so I’ll be able to give you the full scoop then. From what I’ve gathered so far, though, the food and service are top-notch (which is exactly why we pulled the trigger). They're looking at $40 per chair.
I attended a wedding at the bolero venue about two weeks ago. The space is quite nice, perhaps even better than some of the other venues being discussed here. It’s air-conditioned, the dance floor is a decent size—neither too large nor too small—the lighting is fine, and they allow smoking. As for the food, I didn't eat much myself, though I heard it was alright, with the exception of the lamb, which I suspect was actually goat. The servers were good enough.
The cake is truly crème de la crème—honestly, I highly doubt your average baker or even a standard local pastry chef could replicate this. They might manage a decent imitation, but to achieve this level of perfection without any visible flaws or sloppy strokes? Definitely not.

I don't have any other photos available... this one is just from a three-story build, but I'm actually looking for something with five floors. Basically, $6.75 based on the fetish + $500 decor, I can choose whatever components I want to use... (by the way, the forum seems to be glitching a bit, so if I end up double-posting, please know it isn't intentional)
The feta is on us $6.75 while the cake decoration costs 1500
Does anyone know what the going rates are for wedding cakes and those little bite-sized pastries for the reception hall?
I have my eye on this gorgeous five-tier cake meant for about 200 guests, and I’m estimating the cost would be around $1833
. As for the mini desserts, they seem to be $1.25 per piece
. It doesn't strike me as being particularly expensive, but I suppose I might be mistaken—what has everyone else experienced?
We are hosting a reception at the Atrium... expecting about 200 guests... I find the venue itself to be top-tier, and the coordinator is nothing short of exceptional. My confidence in choosing the Atrium came from recommendations by several bands who have performed there—including my own taxi band, which offered nothing but praise—and that was the deciding factor for us. 🙂 When we dropped off the deposit, the room was already set up for an event and looked absolutely stunning. I’ve heard the catering is excellent, and the manager even went so far as to invite us to come by and sample the wine and prosciutto if we wished, though he was so persuasive that we didn't feel the need to try anything. So, I offer my warm recommendation for the Atrium... the reception is scheduled for February, and I will provide further updates on our satisfaction after that. 😉
One more thing... before making our final decision, we visited the Radisson, the former San Francisco Grand Hotel, and it didn't exactly blow me away. The ceilings are somewhat low, though they do have a lovely terrace. As for Le Meridien, it's rather mediocre in my opinion; the hall feels like a standard banquet room, the atmosphere is quite cold, and the decor consists of plain white tablecloths that are too short and yellow chair covers...
