Look, I was a bridesmaid at that wedding over in Chicago, and honestly, everything was spot on.
They’ve got plenty of different menus to pick from. Just grab whichever one works for you.
I doubt anyone’s leaving hungry. We definitely ate our fill and had a blast. 👍
Aurora, I'm loving your work... my family's wedding is coming up soon, so I'm hoping we can make something happen. I'm a huge fan. 😁

I was there recently and honestly, it was a bad experience.
The first course was okay, but the portions were so small it was almost a joke.
There were no refills...which actually shocked me.😲
Two little scoops of leftover mashed potatoes for an entire platter meant for 8 people...I suspect it might have been one of their budget menus...there were fewer steaks on the plate than there were people at the table.🤣
Since everyone at the table was eating moderately, my conclusion is that the first course was WAY TOO LITTLE food.
The second course...well, that was just BAD COOKING.
I didn't think you could mess up cabbage rolls this badly, but it was terrible. Greasy broth and the meat was way too dark. Horrible taste...just awful.👎
I was at a wedding just yesterday and the difference is massive (not trying to promote another venue—unless I snag a 😁 discount) it's like night and day.👍
Also, I have to mention the vibe of the hall—it has a slightly "dated, old-school" look.
Maybe Joseph Reed87 hyped the food up so much that my acquaintance ended up taking the "budget" menu option.🤣
BUT REGARDLESS, A VENUE LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T ALLOW SUCH A SCANTY WEDDING if they actually care about their reputation.😠
Whether it was agreed upon or not, the lack of food during the second course was unacceptable...that is a HUGE FAIL for the kitchen at that venue.👎
Madonna, aren't you facing some kind of conflict of interest regarding that sale? 😂
So, clearly, the menu is where they differ. 🙂
Yeah, we had stew, so I don't know... maybe stuffed cabbage really is just bad.
All in all, we had a blast. The room was gorgeous. I don't really get what you mean by "communist vibes," though. What are you on about?
We didn't have any complaints. 🙂
here's the deal 🙂
I was part of a bridal party at this banquet hall in Austin a few weeks back. xD
Zero complaints from my end... everything was beyond great. The couple paid me exactly $75... we were loaded up with platters (lamb, pork, steaks... I think there were two salads and three sides, plus all the soda and liquor). Since most of us were from the South, we absolutely demolished that lamb, haha... they kept bringing more out constantly... we even had leftovers for lunch on Sunday at the venue. The price covered those fancy chair covers everyone talks about, plus the decor. The whole place looked stunning, mostly green and silver 🙂
....they also did a buffet. They have those carved centerpieces and watermelons on the tables—looked high-end. They didn't kick us out early either; we stayed until 6:30 PM. A local rock band was playing, maybe something like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but we had a blast. There were about 190 of us, though I think the room holds closer to 240. They offer cheaper packages too, but ours was the premium menu... if you're looking, go for it. They do whatever you ask. We were bugging them for days leading up to the wedding and they never complained. Truly good people.
The venue itself is beautiful. It’s in Austin, but they have a massive parking lot so you don't have to hunt for spots on side streets. Once you walk in, you'll see it's easily one of the nicest places around. The value is killer for what you get. We're actually getting married next year, so we'll probably book them again.👍👍
That's all I got. peace 🙂
