That happened because they don't actually own the building—Wells Fargo does. The bank went under, so they froze operations. Even the owners didn't see it coming.

Kyle Young3 said:Yeah, we found out the hard way! They canceled our wedding! 🙂 We struggled just to find a place... then once we finally tracked them down... nothing. 😢

Man, I’ve been through some serious stuff...
But I have never dealt with such total rudeness in my life!! 🙂
My party is on April 28th, and I only found out they were closing because I heard about someone else they canceled on back when she was nine months pregnant! Where's the logic in that? Why tell her before me?! 🤷

And now, to top it all off, I'm fighting with them just to get my $300 deposit back. I'm going crazy!

Paul Myers78 said:Listen up, especially if you're young and this hits home—but honestly, everyone needs to hear this:
Fabula is CLOSING DOWN!!

Talk about a rollercoaster! Found a new venue on the same day, thank God. At least I have something 🎉
But man, things could've gone totally south...
Now I’m just praying they actually give me my deposit back so I can be done with them for good!
Technically, they owe me the deposit plus interest, but honestly? I'll take any win at this point...

😲 Good grief! They didn't even give you a heads-up?? Honestly, they probably wouldn't have told me either if I hadn't called them by pure chance... then they suddenly started apologizing. At least I got lucky and hadn't handed over the cash yet. That's something. Our party is a week after yours, 😁 so I really hope everyone gets their money back in the end. Unless they've already blown it all.

Man, listen to these people spinning these ridiculous stories. I honestly feel for anyone caught up in this mess. If it were me? I’d be suing them blind, those idiots!
As for me, I’m just sitting here waiting on my stock payouts from Wells Fargo... since my brokers all had accounts there. Now I’m left wondering how on earth I’m going to pay for my own wedding. Isn't that just great? Just wonderful.

frozencobra46 said:I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but I was wondering where one might find affordable artificial petals, floating candles, car bows, and other small decor items in San Francisco (or maybe online, if anyone has some experience there). Where do you all usually pick stuff like that up?
I actually went ahead and ordered two different types of petals through a DTP studio, so now I'm just waiting to see how they look once they arrive (about $12 pieces).
Where have you guys been shopping, and does anyone know where else I can find these kinds of things?

Saw some floating candles at Lockheed Martin just yesterday... I don't recall the exact amount, but they had 🙂

IKEA has those floating candles available... check their website. Everything else is just random junk over at the Amazon in Naperville... I haven't made it there yet, but I'm planning to soon 😁 and Dell is affordable; I was actually thinking about picking up a few small things from them myself. As for anything else? Who knows 🤷

Dell? What is that and where is it located? 😁

Hey everyone, I’ve got a wedding coming up this summer out in California. Does anyone have any solid leads on a photographer or videographer who actually knows what they're doing? Please, help a desperate soul out 🙄

Also, I need some honest feedback—give me your best critiques or suggestions on these bands. Who’s actually worth hiring? We're looking at Trio Bolero, Silver Group, Twist Off, or No1.

Or if you guys have a killer recommendation of your own, let me know!🙏

THANK YOU in advance 😍

Or if you have any other recommendations?!🙏

Thanks in advance! 😍

I've only ever heard The Trio play, and I actually attended a wedding where they performed—they were really good. Not sure about their pricing though...

Thanks for the input!
We’re actually in the middle of negotiating with Mario Brkić right now, so I wanted to get the real scoop—what’s he like to work with? He’s got his own photo and video setup, so we were thinking about just hiring him to kill two birds with one stone by getting the band and the media coverage all in one go. 😁

Everything I’ve read about him online looks great, but I figured I’d check in with you ladies to see if the reality matches the hype. 😍 Mario Brkić; band, photo, and video—is it a YES or a NO? 🤷

Or should we just stick with The Trio?

Just Google it... they handle everything online. You can even find a good partner—all through the internet.

Never heard of this Brkić guy. Does he have a website?

Alright, here’s the link.... http://mariobrkic.com/ ...Basically, it’s just Mario Brkić and The Dave Matthews Band

I see people all over the wedding scene in San Diego raving about him, so now I'm just left wondering if it's actually worth the hype or just more noise 😢

Just Google it... they do all their business online anyway. Same goes for a Goodwill Partner—it's all internet-based.
Honestly, don't even bother checking out a Goodwill Partner. I was just in New York City last week and swung by one... everything is twice as expensive as it is in Iraq! It's totally not worth buying anything there.🙂

Do you happen to have a signed contract?

You should be able to tell just by browsing their websites who actually constitutes a legitimate band—you know, the kind with a full lineup of drums, bass, guitar, and keys—versus those little duos or trios that are essentially just playing along to backing tracks. Beyond that, you have YouTube right there to vet them, so just listen and ask for their setlist... Surely you possess enough discernment to distinguish between the two...🤷
If you’re actually looking for a real party paired with decent music, do yourself a favor and book an actual band instead of settling for some stripped-down duo or a mediocre trio... 🙂
