Just had my daughters wedding at Bentwood and it was amazing. This is a beautiful venue. The staff…read morewere great. We looked at several other venues and chose Bentwood because of the serene beauty of the grounds. The reception area has beautiful wood tables and a stage with a lit dance floor. Stage area set up for DJ or Band with lights strung throughout. There is a wonderful walkway down to a pond area with an alter. There are 4 rooms that come with the weekend package. 1 with bunkbeds, 3 with queen size beds. The grooms area was set up with a pool table, dart board and refrigerator to keep the boys occupied while the girls got ready in a beautiful bridal room. Other venues we looked at gave you a couple of hours before and after the event to set up, have the ceremony and then clean up. We liked the fact that with the weekend package we could set up on friday, enjoy saturday and clean up Sunday. They have several packages to cover almost any need. We have been to several weddings this year and I have to say that Bentwood was by far the best venue.

I don't think it's acceptable to not have actual ceilings and call yourself a wedding venue. I don't know why they are dragging their feet on finishing the ceilings, but it's a real drawback and I'd be willing to bet it's the reason some people don't sign on with them (myself, for one).

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator that manages your contracts with vendors efficiently…read moreand professionally, Amberly and Blue Boots is not the right choice for you. I hired Amberly and Blue Boots to be my wedding coordinator. Wedding coordinators manage, negotiate, and handle all vendors on your behalf which was explicitly stated in her contact. During the planning phase of my wedding, Amberly interviewed a DJ that I thought would be a good fit for our event and after several conversations Amberly had with this DJ, she agreed he would be a good choice. Unbeknownst to me, she went ahead and signed a contract with this DJ while we were still looking at other DJ's. Ultimately, we chose a different DJ and Amberly never went back and communicated to the original DJ that we were not going to use him. When I emailed Amberly to confirm that we chose another DJ, she had 15 days to cancel the original contact with no penalty, but she failed to follow up with the DJ and cancel the contract she signed on our behalf. He contacted her just before our event to make arrangements to DJ and that is when she informed him that he would not be our DJ. Because he had a signed contract from her, he showed up at our wedding ready to DJ. Two weeks after our wedding, this DJ sued Amberly for breach of contract because he had a signed contract from her. Amberly did not tell me he showed up on our wedding day and she did not tell me he sued her until after the fact. Subsequently, her lawyer advised the DJ to sue me since I had signed a contract with Amberly. Amberly admitted to my husband and I that she should have never signed the contract with the DJ. As soon as the DJ dropped the lawsuit against her and sued us, Amberly refused to speak with us further and even stated that if we wanted to talk to her lawyer, we would have to pay for it! This entire incident has caused us pain and clouded the memory of our wedding day. If you choose to have someone that will manage your contacts, follow through, be honest and represent you with integrity, then Amberly and Blue Boots is not your ideal choice.

Our wedding was last night, and I really don't have words for how supported we felt.

She managed all the vendor setups, and the execution was perfect. Truly, our day was amazing and we could not have done it without Jen!

Incredibly disappointing experience…read more My fiancé and I had gotten to the point of finalizing a contract with Madison at Pearl Events for them to only tell us at the point of signing they could not take us on a client because they booked another client the night before. They waited until the meeting to tell us, meaning my fiancé and I both took time out of our work day for something that could have been an e-mail. They offered to provide recommendations, they were unable to confirm any availability. All in all a disappointing experience and poor business etiquette.

I can't say enough great things about Bird Dog! We worked with Emily, Mel, and Ryan to plan our…read moreAugust wedding and they were exceptional partners in the planning process. August is a challenging month to plan in Austin because it is "off-season," but Bird Dog was up to the task. From the very beginning, they were attentive, responsive, and incredibly reliable, making the entire process feel effortless, especially in light of the short timeframe we gave them. They got to know us and our style and preferences. They took the lead on helping us map all the key details and logistics, especially the tiny elements of the day we would have surely overlooked. They were able to guide us in working with a selection of trusted vendors, which simplified the stress of lining up all the key building blocks for the big day. Their communication was consistent and clear, and they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Throughout planning, they handled every detail with impressive efficiency and organization, which allowed me to relax during the processes. On the wedding day, they executed everything seamlessly--from coordinating vendors to managing timelines. It reduced stress levels for everyone on the day, and our family and friends were so grateful to have Bird Dog as a resource and support. Thanks to Emily, Mel, and Ryan, our day was smooth, beautiful, and absolutely stress-free. They are a pleasure to work with and you can tell they love what they do! We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone planning a wedding (or any event really), especially if you need a team that can deliver flawlessly under pressure!

So I seen the children that play at the birthday party and adult standing around without knowing…read morethat one of the ponies saddles is broken. I asked why the child is not able to ride the horse compared to the other children. They said because it's too big and I said too tall or too big size because we can weigh it out And measured the child's weight, but then I seen another child come to the horse and ask why the horse is standing around and I said the same thing to my friend Child. I said they said that the children cannot ride this any longer because the saddle is broken and then after that, they let someone Ride the horse with knowing that the saddle is broken. I did not have a good feeling about that, so I took my child far away from the horse just in case something was going to happen the bunnies, the ducks, the little chickens. The goats were very cute. Children tried to pick them up. Man said no do not pick up the animals, but the way he said it it was in the little rude way the child started to run and come to its parent at that point I came up and I said please don't speak to the child this way because mine also is playing with the animals. I spoke to one of the coworkers and said how long have you worked here and is it a good company because I have others who want to use the company for a birthday party for the children and they said yes but it's my first day so therefore I have a lot of questions because I came to this job thinking I was trained and there is no training and now I am having to tell children not to pick up the animals and they're unhappy because the parents said that they can't ride the horse so the children became very unhappy because the party was cut short. Sounds like the people who are working need more training and need to be able to know that if the saddle is broken, you need to fix it before bringing it to the party and please don't vape or smoke any other electronic cigarettes at the party because that was very concerning as adults have seen you And you are working for one of the families. You should know that there is no smoking at a child's party so your boss should've trained you better and you should know better as adult. I was very concerned when I seen the man smoking electronics at the birthday party and I have spoken to one of the parents about it and that was not allowed that was not in the contract that was signed and verbally spoken about also Safety. Concern of a child is very important. That is something that's going to be spoken about to others.
