the only thing we didn't like is that there was a 15% service fee on EVERYTHING which drove the cost way up keeping us from doing all we would have liked to do due to the money. And you had to use their catering (which was good tasting) or you had to pay an extra $500.

Paradise Pointe responded with the following comments:

What she wrote is correct and all information that she has listed is listed in all pricing and discussed before signing a contract. These were not hidden fees nor fees that were not known about before a contract was signed. We wish you the best!

I received numerous compliments about the food. Everyone loved the quality, freshness, and the friendliness of the caterers. The DJ was not as well received. He really did not talk much or engage the crowd and he was abrupt with several people.

Paradise Pointe is an exceptional place for a wedding and reception! From the very beginning of our planning, CaraSue was great! She responded very quickly, was very helpful in all aspects and was a very kind person! Even down to the last few days before the wedding, when the weather was bad and we needed to move the ceremony indoors, she was very flexible. The caterer and the cake maker that they recommend were phenomenal! We were so very happy with the service that everyone on staff at Paradise Pointe provided! It made for our perfect wedding day! We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to host an event. Great people to work with, wonderful location, and a great value! Who could ask for more! Thank you CaraSue and Eddie for all that you did!

Paradise Pointe is absolutely wonderful. This reception hall takes care of the cake, DJ, bartenders, alcohol and the caterers! The food was wonderful and several options were provided to choose from. The cake is to die for!! I can't say enough about the cake, because it is the best wedding cake I have ever had. The DJ was excellent and really focused on the guests and what they wanted. He mixed up the music at the appropriate time so that every age group had a blast! The customer service was outstanding and everyone was very friendly. The golf course outside is beautiful and a wonderful place to take pictures. The view is beautiful, which includes a gorgeous pond to take pictures in front of. There is a large patio outside for the smokers too, which is always good! I can't say enough. This place was perfect!! Pure elegance and perfection at a very reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.

I highly recommend this venue!! Everything was perfect!! Everyone had the best time!! and the price was so reasonable and site is so gorgeous!! You don't pay for a wedding planner, just the venue itself, which has it's pros and cons. The owners were very easy to work with, and flexible with plans. The DJ they recommend was also defintely worth going with!! HE WAS AWESOME!!
We had our dream wedding at Paradise Pointe!!

At times, it was hard to get a response back from the event planner, whether e-mail or voicemail.

Paradise Pointe responded with the following comments:

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and our ease of communication and prompt replies. This wedding was no exception. In fact, 3 hours before the reception was to begin the bride called in a panic because the DJ service that she had arranged herself (outside vendor) had backed out. We responded promptly and were able to successfully arrange for our professional DJ to do the event. In just a 3 hour time period I believe that shows how well we DO respond and are able to succeed at taking care of our clients. At the conclusion of the event the bride and groom as well as the families thanked us for arranging such a wonderful reception and coming through for them at the last minute.

Our wedding was wonderful!!! The event planner and other staff at Paradise Pointe were very helpful before the wedding day and the day of the wedding too!! The food and cake were fabulous!!! I recieved many compliments about the food choices and also about how beautiful the cake was and how good it tasted!! The part of the golf course that the gazebo sits on has a nice view of the lake and has some great places to take pictures from and around. There was also plenty of space for the amount of guest that we had, no one felt crowded or cramped. Thank you Paradise Pointe!!!

My husband and I highly recommend Paradise Pointe! Although neither of us are from the Smithville area, we primarily selected the site to host our reception at Paradise Pointe due to its central location for guests and the exceptional value offered for our budget. We were not disappointed in the least! CaraSue Hall, the event planner, has a genuine gift of making you feel completely at ease and stress-free! Throughout the entire planning process, she consistently maintained contact with us and was always available to field any questions/issues that we had. She communicated with us in a timely fashion, always flexible and went above and beyond to help with any issues that she could assist with. CaraSue ROCKS! :)

Upon arriving at Paradise Pointe to add personal decorations to the reception hall, all tables and additional equipment was already set-up, as promised. As a result, our decorating crew was able to add our desired decorations in a timely manner. Likewise, upon the completion of the reception, we were able to simply take our centerpieces and additional decorations and end the evening, without any clean-up! After researching several reception venues, we found that such service can't be beat! Aside from the numerous service options and impeccable customer service provided, the landscape of the location offered fabulous opportunities for pictures!

The quality of service that my husband and I experienced throughout the planning process continued on the night of our reception, as well! Both CaraSue and her husband, Eddie, extended such genuine service throughout the entire evening that our families and guests continue to rave about the evening weeks later! The catered food and DJ were both wonderful...we can't sing our praises loud enough! The evening went off without a hitch due to the planned organization and attention that was provided by CaraSue and Eddie.

We HIGHLY recommend Paradise Point and their partnered vendors for anyone who is looking for an amazingly stress-free event! We can't speak highly enough! Paradise Pointe truly allows you to personalize your event and actively participate in the planning as much or as little you choose. CaraSue and Eddie are experienced professionals who make you feel that your event is as important to both of them as it is to you. As a result, you can be 100% confident that your event will be FANTASTIC! Thanks for everything, guys! :)

I had a very good experience using Paradise Pointe Golf Course for both my ceremony and reception venue. They are flexible and go above and beyond to make your wedding go smoothly. What is great about using this place is that people just walk from ceremony to reception venue (about 200 feet away) so nobody gets lost along the way. The location is beautiful and easy to get to. I would definitely recommend them to other couples.

Cara Sue and her husband were amazing. They did every thing they could to accomodate us and make sure we were taken care of. I initially wanted to complain about the 15% service charge, but as the day/night unfolded, I realized there was no way I could. The service was top notch. They definitely helped relieve a lot of stress. Anything I needed, they made sure was taken care of. I was very pleased. Not to mention them cleaning up every thing after the reception so that all I had to do was collect all of the centerpieces and personal items. Very much appreciated after a long and tiring day!!!!

The outside venue is a beautiful setting for an outdoor wedding. Makes for some great pictures!!!!

The only thing I would recommend to them is if items are left -- like silk flowers, etc. that they would call you to see if you want them or if they should pitch them. We inadvertently left some very nice silk flowers on the Gazebo and we were not able to recover them.
