    Our event occurred in October and I have taken this long to leave a review for a few different…read morereasons: 1. I wanted to give the owner ample time to correct the issue. 2. As small business owners ourselves, I despise poorly reviewing another. 3. We never received even a partial refund. It is because of our experience in business that I feel the need to review. Had this been a little weekend party, we may have been able to overlook it, but this was an event planned a year and a half out, with over 150+ invited guests, with lots of money invested; similar to the magnitude of a wedding. Had it not been for the owner's lack of accountability for the small issues we had, this would have been a 5 star. Unfortunately I have to give them a 1 star. 1 star because the tents, chairs, and chair covers were handled professionally, worked as needed, and the communication up until the day of the event was great. They were easy to communicate with and I appreciated that I didn't have to hunt them down to finalize details like I did so many other vendors. Unfortunately that's where the positives end. Long story short, we ordered 12 - 70" x 120" Rectangle linen polyester tablecloths in black, and a low lying fog machine, amongst other things, but the rest was fine. There were holes in some of the chair covers, but they sent over extra just in case. On the morning of the event we tested the fog machine and it did not work. When I called to inquire about it, the employee, unkindly, told me that everything was checked and looked over by her before leaving the store and there was nothing wrong with it. I assured her that I had 4 men setting it up; men who work with machinery, engines, and pumps day in and day out. She continued saying that we were doing something incorrectly (it didn't take a genius to work the thing.) After a couple of back and forths, we were still lead to believe we did something wrong. The owner eventually called and claimed that she had looked at it before leaving the shop. Ultimately we had to run someone 30 minutes out of town to purchase another and, in the end, once the machine arrived back at their shop they did, in fact, confirm the machine was clogged. The bigger issue was the tablecloths. As mentioned, we ordered 12 of the same size, same color, same material table clothes. One of them was round, confirmed by multiple people, and others were different sizes and material types. The morning of the event we had to run around, finding items we had laying around to make up for the incorrect items. After the event, I organized them into different piles based on the type and size. I took photos and video as evidence, as well as having the entire family (and friends) check to be sure I wasn't incorrect. When I emailed Kim about this she claimed that they all came back rectangle, no rounds, but one had rounded corners which "is customary" and because of that, there was no refund available. I kindly emailed her back stating that my concerns were not properly addressed, and she ghosted me. My problem with this is I provided proof that we did not receive what we ordered. I don't care what is or isn't customary. The fact of the matter is we ordered 12 - 70" x 120" tablecloths of the same type, size, and material, and we received something else entirely. Rather than fix the issue, she tried to gaslight me the first time, and ignored me the second. It wouldn't matter if 90% of them worked just fine; the bottom line is, we did not receive what we paid for and it caused issues on the morning of the event. Being business owners ourselves, we go above and beyond to make the customer happy; that doesn't mean the customer is always right, but it does mean we do what we can do to correct the issue and mitigate any inconveniences. The fact that she, not only, refused to acknowledge and take accountability for the issues, but also didn't refund even the partial refund is an issue. We spent approximately $2,000 with them and she couldn't be bothered with a simple $150. This is not how you do business and because of that, I cannot recommend them for anyone's special event.

    What a fun experience! I was driving the Martin County scenic route and got hungry. I was in the…read moremiddle of nowhere, so I turned to yelp to find something to eat nearby. Within 15 minutes. I was pulling into the Okeechobee livestock market restaurant. My head started spinning because I was the only car in the parking lot! They were just trucks and trailers and cattlemen. After reading Dave O's review, I dared myself to go in and had a blast watching the auction while my burger was being cooked. It was hard to eat the burger while hearing the hoofs of cows underneath and remembering the mooing when I pulled up. The burger was good and the service was great. The experience was off the charts. Next time I have to have one of those huge sweet teas everyone was drinking.

The food area is a lot smaller, but it's very clean and definitely do not smell the auction area right out the doors. The burgers are super thick and come with everything I couldn't finish mine. You have several things you can have as the side including fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries. Tea is great too! I will warn you what I do not see on other people's posts is it is CASH ONLY. My husband and I were in the car scrambling to see if we had enough before we came in. I had forgotten all about it. Both with a cheeseburger and the one side with waters was $27 and change. So make sure you bring cash. Other than that it's really good but not worth giving a lower rating.

We had a total of 80 show up, some which were young kids and WE RAN OUT of food! As the host, I was mortified and embarrassed. I texted her at the time and she implied it was my fault for not using them to serve. We had small plates and I watched everyone get their plate as I was standing by if anyone needed anything. There were not even 92 churros that were part of the dessert. It was also to include some Mexican style cookies, but instead she brought some type of store bought dessert rolls that no one ate. I never heard from her again in any attempt to make it right.

I am currently pending a small claims suit against them for ruining my wedding and basically taking all my money for nothing. after paying nearly $10k to this company, I was left with endless stressful moments and ruined parts of my wedding from the planning portion down to the food. I paid $1800 for "wedding planning" with them and was left to do everything myself and the day of my wedding had a "planner" who was so rude and unprofessional one of my guests actually had words with her for the dirty looks she was giving me (the bride) and my husband. she did no guest coordination so my guests were all over the place not knowing where to go and she had NO COMMUNICATION WITH ME- so I was sitting in a room calling my guests to see when I should walk down the aisle. i paid extra for corsages and boutonnieres for family that they were unable to wear because the flowers were dead and the pieces were falling apart. the food was served cold, RAW CHICKEN, and tasted terribly. when serving my guests- she refused to give them larger portions yet at the end of the night the food trays were full of waters food. the dessert was FROM PUBLIX. $6 cupcakes and $7 brownies, keep in mind i spent $4k on "catering". the tables were left full of dirty plates and food all night long. they did not even bring trash bags to the venue so the trash cans were full and overflowing with garbage the entire night. the venue personnel themselves were absolutely shocked by the lack of professionalism and had never seen an event staff perform so terribly. at the end of the night this company broke my contract with the venue and stayed over an hour extra cleaning up- which I was then charged for, an extra $1k but the venue felt SO bad for me that they only made it $500. there are many many more things but for the sake of not leaving a novel of a review i'll leave it at this. please do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!

    Absolutely horrendous experience…read more My husband and I were passing through Okeechobee and decided to stop for lunch and it ended up being a huge disappointment from start to finish. Before ordering, the waitress offered chips and salsa, which we happily accepted since it's something we always look forward to at Mexican restaurants. She asked if we wanted mild or hot so we chose one of each. She also mentioned the salsa would be served warm which we thought was unusual but did not question at the time. When it arrived the chips seemed like basic store bought rounds and instead of salsa, we were served what tasted exactly like hot enchilada sauce. Both bowls were the same spice level despite us requesting mild and hot. At first I thought it might be taco sauce but when my husband's enchiladas came out it confirmed that we had been served the same exact sauce as on his plate. I also ordered a burrito but what I received was more like an open faced soft taco since it was not wrapped at all and was very small. The refried beans were also completely bland and had no flavor. Overall, the food and experience were extremely disappointing. It felt like a very poor representation of Mexican cuisine and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away.
