    A Divine Event

    A Divine Event

    (27 reviews)

    My wedding at Flint Hill had two different stories: The wedding day was fantastic, but the planning…read morewas a nightmare. I suspect the positive reviews reflect the former. I will share advice that I wish I had received before making a 50% deposit. My rating is based on the planning. The day of would get 4 stars. - We were glad we had an outside wedding planner to be our ally. If you've never planned an event like this, you might not realize that you can easily be taken advantage of. - They provide a lot of staff on the day of the event, but some of them were people we had never met. We had an eight-minute call with our "Day of Reception Director" the week before the wedding. She is a part-time (weekends) employee who doesn't even have a company email address. - We were dazzled by Melissa's sales pitch. She spent 2 hours with us when we came in for a tour and it was great. We thought she would be a great ally in this process. She was super friendly and helpful through the contract process until we paid 50%. - We needed to read every version of the updated invoice to catch price changes. The price of our dessert was $9 until one day it was $9.50. They charged us $150 for early arrival with a $150 credit to cancel it out. One day that credit had changed from $150 to $2. Laura from the design studio "accidentally" increased the price of some tablecloths by $5 each. - Their contracts sometimes expire after two days, and they said we needed to sign before getting answers to our questions. This happened with 2 contract addendums. We asked questions. Melissa said "Any specific detail changes to this contract will be handled in the extended planning sessions." - They marginalized me while behaving towards my husband. We had a recurrent problem where I would send an email, no response, husband reminds them, and they respond quickly. One time they ignored my email for five days. When he replied to my note, they responded to him within the hour. I don't know if it's because he's a man, he makes more money than I do, or they simply didn't like me. - If we didn't get it in writing, they often denied it. There are numerous topics that I am certain we discussed verbally but unfortunately I didn't have it in writing. With the issue mentioned above, they insisted we never discussed it, and they only agreed to do it because we found written confirmation. - We needed to spend at least $2,000 at their design studio, but we didn't have any trouble exceeding the minimum. We had very minimal design requirements, brought in an outside florist for the bouquets, and our initial quote was over $1,900, not counting the $700 tablecloth rental. - Menu changes come with an upcharge. You only get to put out one salad dressing. If you want your guests to have a choice, there is an $0.50 per person. Mashed potatoes come with no toppings. Want to add something as simple as sour cream or chives? One dollar per person for each topping. - We paid more than 80% of the adult rate for children aged 4-9. Children starting at age 10 are charged full price. The menu says "reduced rate" for children, but the aren't mentioned until much later in the process. They get a 20% discount on the base price for the buffet, but they are full price for drinks, dessert, and add-ons. I don't know if they would also be charged 100% for drink packages with alcohol. - We had to convince them to let us have a menu tasting. They offered us a "tasting box" with six items from another event's menu but only one or two from our menu. None of these options had our main dishes included. They said the point of a tasting box is to understand the quality of the food, not our specific menu. I want to thank Kristin, the CEO, for her help. Two months before our wedding, she allowed us to switch from the Atrium to Flint Hill (for a cost of $3,500) The change in venue couldn't fix corporate policies and staff difficulties though. I can honestly say that planning this wedding was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good luck, future brides and grooms.

    This is a review I hoped I would not have to write, because the day of our wedding was really quite…read morebeautiful. Our second event coordinator Jessica was great (she took extra care to provide a special meal to a family member), and the CEO Kristin did speak directly with my wife during the planning process to ensure mounting concerns were heard. Unfortunately, facility leadership chose to describe my wife's concerns as "misunderstandings which were limited to our experience with you," a characterization that is neither accurate nor fair to us or those who read these reviews. Bottom line up front: If you choose A Divine Event, keep a close eye on every budget line item in the evolving invoice process. The following facts, based on documentation, are not misunderstandings: 1. Our first event coordinator replied negatively or vaguely to most e-mailed questions we had about menu alterations, tainting our experience early on. Answers later evolved as a much more attentive coordinator (Jessica) took over. If you choose to have an event with A Divine Event, I suggest in-person or virtual meetings (with written minutes) if you find it hard to convey ideas (as I did) over email. 2. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that a new invoice showed desserts suddenly increased $.50 per person. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 3. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that a $150 early arrival fee credit became only a $2 credit. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 4. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that tablecloths increased inexplicably by $5 with a new invoice. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 5. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that 11 days before the wedding we were emailed that a draft of our large "Welcome sign" would be ready to review "within the next week" after we had discussed it for months (This was fixed after we caught it.) In the end, Laura and her team created a beautiful sign....If only we could have been spared the stress! While none of these invoice changes or communication challenges ruined the day, they were annoying changes in documentation (not misunderstandings) that undermined our trust in the company. Some other facts (not misunderstandings) that degraded the experience: 1. As the process proceeded, my emails were consistently answered much faster than my wife's emails. I hesitate to mischaracterize this pattern, but it existed and is objectively demonstrable. 2. We looked forward to take-home goodies that included each item from the buffet. Mahi Mahi was the main dish but we were not given any. Additionally, within our take-home basket were mini, 8oz waters. After all we spent, it seemed odd not to get a sample of the main dish and not even full bottles (16oz?) of water. Better to leave the water out! Maybe this one is just a pet peeve and, again, not a big deal, but it was one last annoying straw. 3. It is a fact that our first contact with our "day of" wedding coordinator was via email only 9 days before the event, and our only call with her (8 minutes) was 6 days before the event. This key individual should be involved in earlier planning sessions. 4. It is a fact that there continue to be questions if on-site security (which we paid for) was present during our daytime events, and not just that evening for a different event. Did any of these issues ruin the day? Absolutely not. Flint Hill is a beautiful facility and we appreciate the work of staff who worked hard to make the day a reality. But are these issues simply my wife's misunderstandings? No. And unfortunately my rating must represent the majority of the experience and not just the day itself. If you choose to plan a wedding with this company, view the planning process as a business transaction (which it is), reviewing each line item and document, document, document.

    Hibachi Furano is a network of chefs providing private mobile hibachi services around metro Atlanta…read more(extra fee for over thirty miles). The chefs tout fifteen years of Japanese culinary experience. The meal itself consists of a side salad (ginger dressing), hibachi vegetables, fried rice, homemade dipping sauce (teriyaki, yum-yum), and 2 proteins of their choice (tofu, chicken, jumbo shrimp, NY strip steak, scallops). There is an extra charge for filet mignon and lobster. My friend hired Hibachi Furano for a recent milestone birthday in her backyard for a dozen guests. Our chef was the consummate professional, and we were thoroughly entertained with sake squirts, flying spatulas, and the fire shaker show. All of our vegetables and proteins were well cooked and seasoned. Once the experience was over (about ninety minutes), our chef discreetly and quickly cleaned up his workstation and slipped out without disrupting the party. I am going to have to find a reason to hire Hibachi Furano for a future event. We had a blast and working with Hibachi Furano was hassle-free.

    If you are a fan of Hibachi and want to provide an amazing experience for your next together, look…read moreno further than Hibachi Furano! We recently celebrated a milestone birthday in our home for 2 dozen guests. Our Chef, Jerry, arrived a half hour before start time, setup and was ready for showtime lightning quick. After we riled up the group, Jerry did his thing and it was just like being in a Hibachi Restaurant. Salad with ginger dressing, fried rice, super tasty vegetables and then the entrees. I'm a self professed snob when it comes to food and this was delicious. I had Filet and Scallops, my wife had Shrimp & Scallops. I also got a chance to try the strip steak. The cooking was in point, the filet was so tender and juicy and the sauce was flavorful without being too salty over shadowing the meat. Anyone that knows seafood knows how easy it is to overcook shrimp and scallops. This seafood was perfection, melt in your mouth good, not one bite tough or chewy. When the show was over, Jerry cleaned up with extreme efficiency and slipped out without disrupting the ongoing event, leaving no trace of his presence, other than the smiles on everyone's face. This service is an excellent value and I will find a reason to use them again. The setup is the equivalent of a six foot table and the chef just needs standard work around space to operate and get to your guests. Timely, efficient, cleanly and expertly prepared food. I recommend Hibachi Furano and Chef Jerry.

There was a lot of love for the burger sliders, chicken tenders, and shrimp. The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.
