Personally, I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with the taxi band..

Does anyone happen to know someone who makes custom confetti??

They're a much more polished, well-rounded band. Musically and vocally, they're top-tier.

Barbary are fine if you just want a show, but otherwise, they're pretty bad.

I don't think I could quite agree with that...

Paul King5 said:Depends on what your schedule looks like that day. My makeup artist booked me for 12:00 and 1:00... she’s doing my mom and me, an hour each, and guests arrive around 3:30.

Has anyone ever heard of the makeup artist Antonia Guć?

Thomas Scott5 said:Hey ladies, joining the thread. We’ve already booked the Pirate, but everything else is becoming a massive headache. Right now, I’m hunting for a photographer and a band. Both are huge priorities for me, but since I’m not based in San Francisco, I can't just go out and hear bands live. As for photographers, I'm incredibly picky—most of them just don't make the cut. Now that I've finished venting, I have a question (and there will be plenty more 😳 later), but let's take it one step at a time.

Does anyone here have experience with, or know how the decor process works at the Pirate? (linens, tablecloths, the patio...) Also, what's your take on extra lighting? They have those small ceiling lights, but I have no idea how the vibe is at night or if it would be smarter to bring in some additional lighting. Any insight from weddings held at that venue would be super helpful.

What kind of music are you looking for? Are you aiming for that high-energy, party-hard vibe, or something more laid back and mellow?

Maria Bailey4 said:Personally, I'm digging http://www.studiobonacic.com/ because the shots aren't totally over-Photoshopped. They actually catch those tiny details that matter to me... and everything feels so spontaneous... 👍

Yeah, I agree, Bona is great. I've also always thought Photo Studio Toni over in San Francisco was pretty decent www.studiotoni.hr.

Aaron Brown7 said:That’s the thing. We heard from our band that Sky used to have great food, but I guess that’s ancient history now. Hopefully, things turn around eventually.

Hey there! Would you mind if I asked which band you guys are in?

Maria Bailey4 said:I think it's kinda dumb too, but hey, he's a free agent in the US right now, so that's a huge win lol 🤣

how's the food though? feels like that's all I care about lately...

Hey there! The food at that spot in New York City is actually fantastic, and the service is just as good. Personally, I’d say it’s one of those places with truly top-tier cuisine... I think I saw some similar reviews posted on the forum a while back.

If you ask me, the only real downside is the location, but at least there is plenty of parking if you need it, and you won't have to worry about any noise complaints since nobody lives right next door.

Aaron Brown7 said:I don't know, man... fitting 200 people into Las Vegas sounds like a stretch. I'll give you this: the food there is usually pretty good, but I've never been a huge fan of the layout—it feels a bit disjointed. And honestly, once you get past the initial courses, the food quality tends to drop off a cliff.

I have to agree, the food at both Dollish and Las Vegas has definitely gone downhill lately. It’s a shame, really. I suspect they might be cutting corners because ingredients are getting so expensive these days.

Karen Roberts16 said:We haven't actually made the trip out there yet; we first need to check if Bolero is available and if they can accommodate a crowd of about 200. The venue looks great to me, the food is always solid, and the staff is top-notch.

Wish us luck!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
What date are you looking at? Personally, I think Doris is a bit nicer than Bolero. I was at Bolero back on August 30th, and it felt to me like they might have switched up their kitchen crew, because the food wasn't exactly anything to write home about...

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm truly just speaking my mind.

Jesse Barnes8 said:Does anyone know if he does catering gigs? He's incredible.

Jure Vojkovic definitely works from those recipes, though I have to say, he’s pricey—actually, quite expensive. But honestly, the man is a true professional! Hats off to him.

Jesse Barnes8 said:Not exactly... You can find their info online if you want to browse, or just swing by on a Saturday afternoon to see the vibe for yourself. I'm pretty sure they have a presence on Facebook too...
I've heard they've even added some LED lighting and a bit of a light show lately...

but honestly, the food and the service are in a league of their own!

Malileptiric, his name alone suggests top-tier quality! His one and only drawback is just the location out in the middle of nowhere.

I guess I should mention, I don't know what everyone else's experiences have been, but my own encounter with the owner of Doris was pretty discouraging. He seemed so arrogant, overbearing, and frankly, just unpleasant to deal with. It was quite awful. Even though the venue itself is lovely, I think I'll pass on going there just because of how he carries himself. Thumbs down for Doris!
