Their patience, engagement and helpfulness was really appreciated. Pricing for the event was very reasonable. Food and service were outstanding.

I would very highly recommend "The Venue Uptown" for your special event based on my experience.

Every single request paid…read morefor and requested by the bride and groom and brides family-those who paid for the wedding-was met. Guests did not seem to believe that requests or other things were addressed properly, however that complaint was not about the wedding planner or staff. The couple hired their own caterer-which had nothing to do with the wedding planner and is not associated. Folks have complained that Cinderella For A Day "walked out" and was "unprofessional", however, from the moment Cinderella arrived at the event they were met with an inebriated, belligerent and verbally abusive father of the bride. Throughout the day the situation worsened and culminated with the father of the bride and his son attacking several of the staff, including the owners husband, my husband and I myself was punched in the throat by the father of the bride. Karen and jay-the owners of the company called the police and evacuated all of Cinderella For A Day employees for their own safety. This event was a tragedy for the bride and groom, at the fault of the poor woman's father and brother. Hopefully the father and brother have enrolled in a 12 step program for sobriety and anger management.

Wedding - if you want to call it that - at location south of Albany, NY on 16 July. Horrible…read moreexecution which means horrible preparation. Wait staff unprepared and did not know how or what to serve. Lost or ran out out of beverages - adult, children & water. Reception seating not available for all guests. Cocktail hour ran out of snacks & anything to drink. Maybe worse yet is the planning staff was not working towards correcting any issues & eventually left the premises. The character of an individual or organization really comes out during adversity. The character shows this is a business that should never ever serve another client. Could be worst example of any event I have been at in my life. Do not hire Cinderalla4aDay under any circumstances.

Hiring Angela as our Day of Coordinator was one of the best decisions for our wedding. She and her…read moreteam helped our big day to run smoothly which allowed us to enjoy the evening to the fullest. From creating a schedule that fits for our venue to google docs with all important information, Angela made sure everything is covered. A couple weeks before the wedding she handed the coordination with our vendors, many of which she already knew thanks to her years of experience. On our wedding day, Angela, Shaye, and Haley were on top of everything!! From directing vendors to setting up everything exactly how we discussed it, directing guests, checking in with my wife and I regularly, to the smallest of details like hanging ear protection headphones over the highchairs for our little guests. We would not have wished for a better team to have on our side that day! If you are planning your wedding, hire Angela and her team at Elite! They are absolutely amazing!!

Unfortunately, I do not recommend Angela of Christofora Events. My daughter hired her for the day…read moreof coordinator because it was required by the venue. Two weeks before the wedding, Angela recommended that my daughter change her choice of tables telling her why her choice would negatively impact the success of the day. She also discouraged my daughter by telling her the venue hadn't done too many weddings. We found Angela to be inflexible. It was raining the morning of the wedding. The venue was willing to wait until an hour before the ceremony to determine whether it would take place inside or out. Angela tried to pressure my daughter 5 hours before the ceremony to make a decision. Thankfully Angela's unnecessary pressure was ignored, the rain stopped and my daughter was able to have the outdoor wedding she wanted. At the reception, all guests were seated and ready to begin food service. Angela insisted they stick to her schedule and wait even though guests were hungry and the kitchen was ready to serve. My daughter asked the venue manager to begin food service which they did. While the bride was eating her salad, Angela went over to her and scolded her for not going through "the chain of command." Finally, Angela left the reception, leaving her assistant behind, without ever notifying the bride. Angela should have been a source of comfort and encouragement for the bride. Instead, it almost seemed like she was going out of her way to add stress.

Went here for the 2019 New Year's Eve celebration and what a night it was! Open bar (and nobody…read morefell down drunk as I could see!), reception with tasty hors d'oeuvres including a pasta, taco and shrimp station (not just cheese and crackers but those were yummy too), beautiful decor, and the tastiest filet Mignon I've had in ages for an entree. Also coffee and breakfast tidbits when you left for the night. What I appreciated about this, my first time, at the Chateau is that they thought of everything. The place was beautifully decorated for NYE, the service was impeccable for the amount of people (the bartenders were killing it!), the rest rooms were grand, there were plenty of places for photo ops, the DJ played fantastic oldies that you could actually dance to, and everyone was so nice. My only criticism would be that the event was too long, started at 7 I believe and ran through 1am. Could have started at 8 or 9 for my liking. Really delightful.

We got married at The Château in February and while the venue itself was beautiful, I'm extremely…read moredisappointed with how a serious issue was handled afterward. Per our signed contract, appetizers were supposed to be served to our guests -- they were not. This was a major part of what we paid for and an important detail during our wedding reception. After bringing this to their attention, I was offered $1,500, which I did not agree to accept, and I was told the owner would personally call me back to discuss the matter further. It has now been several months, and despite multiple attempts to follow up, I have received no callback and no resolution. What has been most upsetting is the lack of accountability and communication regarding the negligence of the maître d' and the handling of our concerns afterward. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and while mistakes can happen, ignoring your clients after the fact is unacceptable. At this point, I am publicly asking for an owner to contact me directly to properly address this situation. I truly hoped for better customer service and professionalism from a venue with this reputation.

From our first meeting months ahead of time to the days after the wedding closing out with vendors, Magda was so organized and responsive. She is an incredibly effective communicator, we always knew what we needed to be doing when and she responded to every question quickly and concisely. I can't recommend her highly enough. Hiring Magda was the smartest thing we did.

I keep telling people who ask how our wedding went that it was literally like someone took my wedding dream, ripped it out of my head, and threw it in a field. That really isn't an over exaggeration, and it is in such a large part thanks Magdalena and all of her wonderful recommendations. She put us both myself and my husband at such an incredible level of ease throughout the entire process and TURST me, once you go through the wedding process you will understand how incredibly meaningful and important that is. I can confidently say that had she not been on our team, our wedding would not have happened as seamlessly and magically as it did. The day after the wedding everyone was raving about how amazing, helpful, kind she was. I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to know and work with her and it is an experience I won't soon forget. Her kindness, positive attitude, and work ethic, are so genuine and I hope we have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!

I have been attending many Barn Star antiques shows over the years, one of my favorites being the…read moreRHINEBECK show. Hands down, it is my favorite show of the year (actually it runs twice a year). The exhibitors are so diverse making for an antique show that appeals to everyone. The folk art is especially unparalleled. Even if you don't purchase anything (which I always do), just seeing such beautiful pieces is a wonderful experience. As amazing as the antiques are, the show management is professional, helpful and go above and beyond. On one occasion, I purchased a large apothecary and when the shipper ultimately cancelled (he was supposed to pick up and deliver the second day of the show), Frank Gaglio, the show's actual promoter delivered the piece for us! I have attended shows for thirty years and have never experienced a promoter going above and beyond like that. His help was invaluable and I cannot say enough about not only him, but his entire staff. I am counting the days until the RHINEBECK show resumes.

My wife and I have been have been doing Frank Gaglio's shows for 3 years now. We made a $750…read morepayment in February of 2020 and when the pandemic hit all future Barnstar shows were tabled. When we called Frank to request a refund in early July, he was nasty and rude to my wife. In the phone conversation, Frank stated that he had to keep $200 of the $750 payment and would refund the difference. When my wife challenged this assertion by Frank, saying that he was unable to provide any service for the $200, Frank stated "How else can I stay in business?". This level of disconnect from his fellow man (or woman) tells me that Frank Gaglio does not have what it takes for me to EVER use the services that he offers. We encourage all others who have received this treatment from Frank Gaglio during the worst health crisis of our lives to share their experiences.

Also great options for both outdoor and indoor ceremonies, so you've got your rain contingency covered. Erica, the owner and doer-of-all-things, was the best to work with. She event set up a special curtained area for our ceremony so that we could appear from behind it rather than processing up the aisle. The caterer she works with, Chef Chris, is awesome as well and the food was absolutely delicious. Erica is constantly improving the grounds so I imagine there are even more wonderful creations to behold than when we were there. As soon as it's safe to gather again I hope this wonderful business can reopen, I can't recommend Erica and SPAF highly enough!
