Our overall wedding was a success at the Villa. We were shocked on how everything turned out because of the bad reviews we had read. But we were fully prepared for any surprises. Our on site coordinator was JoAnn; anytime I had a question she would respond within 24 hours. JoAnn was easy for us to work with. We did have a few problems prior to the wedding but everything worked out. For example, JoAnn told us that we could not bring in an outside linen vendor since this was one of their services they offered and because we had a minimum. However, after looking at our contract that we signed two years ago, it did not say anything about a minimum nor anything about bringing in outside vendors. Therefore, we were able to bring in a linen vendor for the wedding. Our other issue we had was our old coordinator, Bandi, told us if our guest list grew we could change our room and the amount of people for the rate in our contract. However, when we noticed our guest list was growing we contacted JoAnn to see if the other room was still open and we found out we would have to pay a minimum. After talking with the owner, she would not work with us so we decided to leave it the way it was.
We gave the Villa a good value for the cost because we booked the venue two years prior to our wedding, which made it a great deal. The owner is not flexible at all. However, JoAnn was somewhat flexible with us. The reason why we said somewhat flexible because at our rehearsal, she practically kicked us out by turning the lights out. However our family just kept talking, completely ignoring her. I thought it was hilarious because another bride warned us about this. We almost thought someone was going to say words of choice to her for picking up people purses because she was ready to go. But after thinking about this, I could understand where JoAnn was coming from. At the end of the day I am ready to go home from work to my hubby on time. On our wedding day, JoAnn was flexible with us. When I told her the reception room was hot, she sent someone to turn down the temperature. Also, at our wedding she turned on the lights because it was time for us to leave and I politely asked her to turn the lights off because we had only two dances left. Which she honored.
The catering was awesome! The food was perfect. Our cake was scrumptious and exactly like we wanted. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful everything was and how good the food was.
When booking this venue I recommend to any "bride to be" to hire a wedding coordinator. This prevents a lot of stress. I was stress free on the wedding day, if something did occur I have no idea because our day of coordinator took care of it.
Working with David was an amazing experience! We used him for our wedding day and also for my bridal portraits. There are pictures from the ceremony that I have no idea how David got. David was amazing with getting the small detail shots and candid shots that capture the emotion of the day. David was very flexible with dates and times for bridals and wedding pictures and he was punctual every time we met. He was very easy to work with and he really cares about what the bride and groom wants. Everyone is still raving about the bridal pictures photo album David displayed at the reception. I would recommend Muckian Photography to everyone. We are more than pleased with the price, the service, and the quality.
My Fabulous Event was very easy to work with, professional, courteous, and very affordable. We received five star services at a bargain. Tami worked magic. We were impressed on how everything turned out. We received many compliments on the linens decor. My Fab Event was efficient with getting everything set up in a timely manner. We highly recommend My Fabulous Event.
Jennifer was absolutely more than we hoped for and we had an amazing time at the wedding. We had very high standards of what we wanted but were never disappointed and were always impressed with her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern for the bride and groom. Every detail that we requested, Jennifer made sure our request was honored. Jennifer left us with no worries, allowing us to enjoy each moment. Our wedding day was beautiful and it was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy our own wedding day. We are constantly receiving complements on what a beautiful event we held. We highly recommend Altar Ego Weddings.
