Great date night fun! This was our second, and definitely not our last, event with Chef Rashaad…read more He is super talented. The evening we chose this time was the Pasta Party. The night started with Chef demonstrating how to make homemade pasta and instructing on how to chop veggies for a homemade sauce. Chef also showed us how to season and sauté salmon to top off our dish. BYOB to enjoy while you test your skills and create a delicious dish. So delicious, I forgot to take a picture of our finished creations FAIR WARNING: evenings with Chef are most certainly for mature audiences; nothing is truly off limits, making this an extra entertaining and awesome night out. Regular price $40/pp Still unsure you wanna try? Check out Groupon for a discount.

Rashaad gave us a great experience in his cooking studio that he carved out into a great industrial…read morespace with tons of room and equipment. I fully recommend booking through AirBnb, because you'll get the most bang for your buck that way. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary because it sounded like we'd get something more than the average cooking class, and boy was I right. Rashaad was one of the most personable guys I have ever met. He was easy to talk to and seemed genuinely interested in our lives. Through pure happenstance, we were the only two people there that night, so we got a great, up-close-and-personal cooking lesson that I haven't ever heard of before. He taught us about the right way to cut things and how to balance spices not just in each component of the dish, but how to play the components off each other. There was a portion were we watched him do his thing and got to taste it. Then, it was our turn. He set us free to play with the cuts, the amounts of what we wanted, the spice blending. It was a ton of fun. I will be back.

I researched several from the preferred list and River City had the best selection and price that was more affordable and they are the closest to the venue, too. I look forward to the wedding.

Food was delivered timely. We didn't need coffee, water, or paper products since the venue provided these. The only thing that was a bit off putting was that the sausage wasn't cooked all the way through. I suspect because they figured it would sit in chafing dishes longer and cook in them. We had enough left over to provide a nice breakfast option for the church the next morning for their community breakfast. Would use them again.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at The Place Weddings & Events in Oviedo, and it was…read moreabsolutely beautiful! Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about the venue. Kim and her family were amazing--kind, professional, patient, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. She went above and beyond, from storing our drinks to accommodating my many tablecloth color changes with a smile. The venue also has a beautiful chapel and dining area, so everything can be held in one location. It is very clean, well organized, and offers several beautiful spots for photos. The venue also includes changing rooms, a spacious dance floor with event lighting, clean restrooms, and a small kitchen/prep area. It's a wonderful place for weddings, anniversaries, graduations, birthday celebrations, and many other special events. If you're looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service and everything you need in one package, I highly recommend The Place Weddings & Events. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I were wandering through the Oviedo mall during the annual art festival and were…read moregreeted by one of the owners at the Wedding Place while we were passing by. The lady was very friendly, informative and even took the time to give us a tour of the venue. There are plenty of photo op areas, a dining area, changing rooms, a dance floor with event lighting, a small kitchen and prep area, restrooms, and a few other themed rooms that are great for parties, Weddings, Graduations, Celebrations, and more. Everything is very clean, and organized. Pricing varies, it's best to call for an appointment to see all the venue has to offer and work with the owners on the details of the event to confirm a firm quote. My wife and I like that it is a one stop shop where you can get married and hold the reception at the same venue, minimizing travel and additional costs to all parties involved. The Bride and Groom also have dressing rooms available where they can prepare and be away from the main party while they prepare for their big moment. We also liked that the small kitchen in the back provides another avenue to save by having the food catered via a third party of your choice versus being required to order food from or through the Wedding Place. We haven't held an event here yet, but Nancy has mentioned the Wedding Place a few times since our visit here. We would definitely keep them in mind for our next big party or get together. If you are in the area and looking for an all-in-one venue where you can hold your next party, themed event, or Wedding than the Wedding Place might be just what you're looking for.

I generally make it a point to only leave positive reviews, but I cannot stay quiet about the…read moredisrespect we experienced at Levan's. The red flags started immediately. The staff was difficult to reach, and when we finally spoke, they rushed the conversation. When my fiancée politely asked them to slow down so we could take notes, the attitude shifted from impatient to openly condescending. The breaking point was when they actually laughed out loud at us while we were discussing our budget. Disrespecting a potential client is bad business; disrespectful behavior toward a groom or bride during a stressful planning process is unforgivable. A catering company should offer grace and hospitality, not mockery. I strongly advise other couples to take their business to a vendor that respects their clients regardless of the budget.

We found the event through social media and headed on out to enjoy family time. It was easy to find using GPS provided directions and parking was seamless with guides. It's a grass lot and, of course, the ranch is also mostly grass, so wear appropriate shoes. The event itself was a good time. They had meet-and-greet characters, face paint, craft stations, a section to show off the cars, a bar inside of the barn, and more. The little especially enjoyed the train ride around the property. It's a bit off the beaten path, but these kinds of venues usually are, so not unexpected! This would make for a fun venue for an event if you're in the market. Overall: A A fun spot for a fun event. Enjoyed our time!

Shannon was so helpful throughout the entire process and really made us feel like we were her #1 priority. She was available at any time to answer any questions we had. My husband and I especially liked that they gave us a personal tasting featuring the food we were considering for the menu, while many of the other companies we talked to only provided group tastings. As far as cost goes, I would say they are in the mid-range. However, they are very accomodating to your budgetary needs. We let Shannon know at the beginning what we were able to spend and she made sure that we got the most for our money. Best of all, the food was AMAZING! Everyone after the wedding kept telling me that the food was the best part, definitely better than other weddings they had been too. I have to say that Big City Catering provides the right combination of great service and fantastic food. Isn't that exactly what you want from a caterer?
