Kate Gonzalez said:Does anyone here have any insight into whether booking the 021 band for a wedding is actually a good move?
Has anyone here dealt with them before... I could really use some Microsoft on this one. 🤷

Raymond Brooks7 said:I have to disagree with you there... I was at a wedding there recently and everything was top-notch, from the catering to the staff...
If I were picking, my order would be: Saint Croix, then Castello, then Bellevue... but honestly, it all depends on where your church is located. If the cathedral is over in the downtown area, Bellevue is probably your best bet...
For what it's worth, I've been to all three and I haven't found a single thing to complain about regarding the food, the service, or the atmosphere.😍

velveteagle3;23287332 said:I recently hit up this party where the band Amor was playing, and man, let me tell you, they are absolutely killing it. Their set was wild, the music was all over the place in the best way, the breaks were short, and most importantly—they weren't blasting my eardrums out. I’ve been to plenty of parties where the bands were just way too loud and obnoxious, but Amor was just perfect. They’ve got that cool mix of a duo and a trio setup, plus a female vocalist. It was awesome.
seriously though, if anyone has their contact info, shoot me a DM. 🙂
Thomas Sanchez532 said:This specific room holds over 200 people—when we had our party there, we had about 138 including the photographer and the band—but they also have that massive ballroom that could probably fit God knows how many folks. As for the cost, here’s what we paid when we booked it back then:
The standard menu (appetizer, pastries, pizza, prosciutto, cheese, French fries, plus black risotto, beef stew, and veal medallions, lamb, coffee, fruit, and salad) was $32 per person.
If you want the surprise omelet option, it’s an extra dollar per person.
Round tables and linens will run you another dollar too.
So, you're looking at maybe $35 max, though you can actually bring your own wine and lamb to save some cash (but honestly, that’s just more work for you).
From what I gather, other banquet halls charge more, and they usually don't even include the fruit or the head table decorations in the base price.
Thomas Sanchez532 said:Honestly, it’s the same old story every single year. That massive place is going to be a tough sell, and even if it does go, they really have to stick to their contracts. When you deal with a safe, you make a solid agreement (like you get 2 parts and they keep 1), and you put down a deposit of about $1167 (if I recall correctly), and they actually follow through on everything promised. Personally, I was more than happy with the staff and the food, and my guests were too. There's a beach right below the venue, so you can head down after the feast and just let loose (that was our little move). Oh, and all the floral decor is included in the price (including the head table). You just tell them which colors and flowers you want to dominate the look.
Here is how it looked for us (mind you, those were their flowers, but I added those little nautical touches myself)
And here is the centerpiece for the main table, which, like I mentioned, is part of the package (except for that little seahorse I brought in because I wanted that ocean vibe)

I made sure to clear everything with them beforehand—I told them straight up, "No cheesy wedding songs," and they stuck to it. You can pretty much negotiate anything with these guys; they're super flexible.
Give Deer a call (if you're talking about the Seattle location), she'll get you all squared away!

I wasn't trying to be shady or anything, I was just genuinely wondering! I saw some people throwing shade at photo Marko too, but then I actually looked at their shots and they were honestly flawless, so now I'm just left standing here totally confused.
Joseph Wilson31 said:What kind of music do they usually play?
rapidmason10 said:Barclays usually goes for $1,300, but since I added an extra musician, mine ended up being about $1,450

That venue is gorgeous! It’s actually where I host my events, and I have nothing but good things to say about them.👍
If you have any questions about the space, just ask!😁
I'm putting together a link with my professional photos to post here on the forum soon. Honestly, I'm obsessed with how they turned out—everything was absolutely perfect.
Mark Grant85 said:I mean, regarding Honey, I think it’s better to just buy it outright—it isn't really worth putting down a deposit since who knows what kind of mess we'll be dealing with later on.
