WOW - What A Weekend!
Highly Recommend
I have very high standards and all my expectations were met. The bridal suite where we got ready was spacious and beautiful. Before the ceremony we took some amazing pictures on the terrace which overlooks the city. Guests at cocktail hour commented that there were plenty of hors d'oeuvres passed and bartenders were exceptionally quick. The reception was in the Biltmore Ballroom which is absolutely gorgeous. The high ceilings, chandeliers and velvet drapery enhanced the room's elegance. The food was delicious, the wait staff professional and when Elise said food service will be done at 8:00 (158 guests) she was right! 7:58 exactly. The guests were wowed when the lights got dim and the wait staff came out together with the flaming Flambe for dessert. We had plenty of time for dancing and socializing. Chinese food as a late night snack was a hit too. Everything was perfect and couldn’t be happier with the service and expertise of staff. I would highly recommend it. First class all the way. Guests kept commenting how beautiful it was to be on the top floor and how grand the room was. It was exactly what I wanted for our daughter’s wedding.
Also- how convenient it was to have our after party at Reiner's without leaving the building- again- all expectations were met. Service and food were great. Guests had fun playing pool, Jenga and the golf simulator. The next morning we hosted a breakfast at Poindexter's Coffee shop- again very convenient and wonderful service.
