Stress-Free Wedding Venue
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
We were married on in July 2009 at the Blue Ribbon.
This was the easiest thing we've ever planned in our lives. A potentially stressful event went off without a hitch because almost everything was included in the cost of the venue rental - see #3 below. As the wedding approached, we felt a little odd (in a "good" way) that we weren't scrambling around with last-minute plans, as we'd already made most of the decisions months or weeks before with the Blue Ribbon staff.
Highlights -
1) Food. Absolutely incredible. Yum. Yum. And another Yum. We had a Family-style, multi-course, sit-down dinner that was excellent in both quality, quantity and service. The wedding cake looked exactly like we wanted it to, and was ever delicious.
2) Service - Vanessa and staff did a good job of trying to capture all of the ideas of our "ideal wedding" running around in our heads and make them reality. That's sometimes a tough job, but what impressed me most during the planning process was their ability to actually listen when we had questions or wanted something changed, and to work to make the changes happen.
3) All-Inclusive - We were SO thrilled with all of the things that were included in our venue fee - food (sit down meal), wedding cake, flowers, beverages, table linens, glassware / silverware / plates / etc.). This made it extremely easy to plan all of the various parts of the wedding, and it all came out absolutely wonderful.
I'd definitely recommend Blue Ribbon as a wedding venue!
Pros: All-Inclusive Pricing, Responsive Staff, Location
