Le Jardin is a beautiful, beautiful place and would be the perfect wedding venue except that the coordinators and staff are terrible. I booked Le Jardin about 14 months before my wedding. As someone else said I went through 3 different coordinators throughout my planning period. None of them were great but when we got Valerie I felt a little bit more confident boy was I wrong. My ceremony was held elsewhere and when I got to the reception, the first thing I noticed was my cake was messed up. Valerie had dropped my cake topper and it ruined the front of my cake so the back of the cake was showing with ribbon lines and all. Normally I would say it was just an accident but it happened because she did not listen to my instructions. Also, decorations I had made were not set out. When I asked her about this she said she would go do it and never did. Really, she didn't do anything. I'm lucky I had such an excellent DJ, Ron Ball, to help out because she basically did nothing. The decorations were not right and we never got back any of our decorative stuff (in fact we're still waiting for a call back from the owner on everything that went wrong)! Also, my food was not right and was somewhat cold. We order a certain type of chicken at our tasting and got a completely different kind at the wedding. All in all the 'problems' were minor and I still had a great time. However, for the money you aren't getting what you paid for. The coordinators are terrible and the owner obviously doesn't have time to get back to people when things go wrong! It is a gorgeous place still and I love the look, but had I known how unorganized they were I might have gone a different route. Also, make sure you get every little detail on your contract...I was told if you get the highest food package you automatically get a tasting so I didn't have that written in the contract because it was included in my package, had to fight tooth and nail for that. Be careful and you may want to do all decorations yourself, they sure can't get it right!

I really really loved our wedding cakes. I only got to taste a little at the wedding since we were so busy but I ate a ton after we got home that night. We chose the strawberry filling for my (the bride's cake) and chocolate ganache for the grooms. Both were delicious. My husband wanted an exact replica of Eddie Van halen's guitar and he got it. They did such a great job. My cake was exactly what I wanted(well then the coordinator ruined it, but not culinary creations fault)!! I would fully recommend them, they and Jessica did a great job. Thanks!

I loved Ron Ball. He was an amazing DJ. We had a horrible wedding coordinator so he kind of took over her job too and did it all perfectly. He was part of it that made my night. He played the music we asked for and took requests that were appropriate. Our dance floor was full all night long. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. He was AMAZING!!!

My engagement ring is beautiful. My husband did such a great job picking it out. I love it. These people were quick and easy to get ahold of which was a concern considering it was all done online. But the ring got here right when it was supposed to and was perfect. I think for the same thing Zales or something like that would have been a little cheaper but my ring is perfect and that is all that matters!
