If you're looking for a venue that offers exceptional beauty and outstanding service, X'quisite Events is the perfect choice.

Like the picture I posted says - Wayne is the best!…read more I got married October 2014, and amongst the wedding planning tasks, I had to find someone to marry us. My Mom had recommended someone she knew of, but our schedules didn't work out and I got somewhat of a bad vibe so I crossed him off the list. I took to "The Knot" and started looking at their vendor list for Officiants. I called 2-3 places and they all told me the same thing - $400+ for their services. Seriously? The ceremony will be all of 15 min, why so expensive??? I learned two things: 1) I'm in the wrong profession and 2) I needed to find someone more affordable and reasonable. Since I was striking out on The Knot, I went old school - yellow pages! I know...why didn't I just look at Yelp? Who knows! I think I was just getting discouraged and frustrated. Anyways. The yellow pages turned up Dream Wedding Ceremonies. There really wasn't a whole lot to choose from honestly. I called & he answered. Talking to Wayne made me feel like I was talking to my Uncle Johnny in Dallas. I felt so comfortable and at ease with him. His personality & character definitely came thru in our phone call and I knew this is the type of person I'd want to officiate our wedding. I've said how I think he's great, but here's why - he's thorough. Where are you getting married? When are you getting married? Oh you live in this county, well this is where you wanna go to get your marriage license. Don't get your marriage license too early cause it's only good for 30 days - 2 wks at the earliest is when you should get it. He tells you not to worry about anything, and if you have any questions at all to give him a call. He's great at communicating and I never felt like there was a lack thereof. Which is super important when you're a bride-to-be because everything worries & stresses you! Another thing that sets Wayne apart from other officiants is he doesn't require a contract. That made me a little nervous, so I sent him the payment in advance to ensure there was some kind of exchange. And as far as payment goes - he tells you he doesn't collect until the event date cause he doesn't want you to have to worry about it. Who does that?! After the ceremony, he takes the completed marriage license and takes care of filing it for you. See? He's really a great guy and I wish there were more people like him in the world. He's honest, trustworthy, helpful, friendly, caring, and fantastic at what he does! And if all this isn't great enough - he's affordable! If you're getting married and need an officiant, do yourself a huge favor and give him a call.

We only attended 3 services here for our church services. It's a great place to rent as a ballroom,…read moredining area or even a small concert. Upon entering there's a small foyer, restrooms and an area that was set up for children to play in while we were having our church service. They even bought in a cater to serve us after service.

The venue is 5 star, but the new management is horrible. Our daughter reserved this place pre covid…read morewith Shai for her wedding reception. She was sold on the place and Shai's pleasant attitude and willingness to work with her and her fiancée's vision for the reception. Her reception was delayed due to covid, Shai left, and she had to work with new management/coordinator (Steve). Steve made it known that he did not like working wedding receptions and seemed to blame Shai that there were wedding receptions in the facility. He mentioned this to me as we were setting up the day before our daughter's big day. I had an inkling prior to the day that he was not going to be pleasant to work with based on conversations my daughter had with him to confirm everything. She was disappointed he replaced Shai. She was told she could not do this or that (no potted plants on the floor, no lighting effects on walls - she had to hire someone else to do this) and they had already taken their $5000 deposit. The venue offers use of rectangular tables, but my daughter wanted to have both round and rectangular, so she rented additional round tables. As we started to set up the tables, I asked him where the rest of the rectangular tables were because he only had 5 on a cart ready for set up. He proceeded to tell me he didn't know how many were needed, he said he wasn't told. I responded back, what do you mean you weren't told, you provided the layout on pdf that my daughter shared with the rest of us to use for set up! We, not him, then had to get the rest of the tables from the kitchen area after he told us where to get them. Another uncalled for frustration was table rental pick up. Steve told my daughter that the tables and chairs had to be removed from the floor after party and set aside in the pick up area so the table/chair rental folks could pick them up the following Sunday morning. This was fine, my daughter made arrangements to hire a cleanup team to do this. Two days before the event, the table/chair rental company called Steve to confirm drop off and pick up, Steve then tells the table/chair rental company that they had to pick up the tables and chairs Saturday night. Hello Steve! The wedding reception contract was from 5pm Saturday - 12 midnight! So had to deal with this. There were many little things, no effort at all was made by him to offer information. Our daughter's wedding coordinator was not happy with his lack of effort to help. Luckily, everything fell into place and the celebration was a success. The venue is unique and has so much potential. But there were just so many negative comments made by him that it is not worth to time and energy to have to deal with.He was not helpful, not conscientious, had bad attitude. Lazy. Too bad because the venue is really awesome and he represents the place.

I'm a Chicago gal who was trying to plan a wedding in SW Michigan (or anywhere between Detroit and…read moreChicago) to keep it close to home and family. I was initially reluctant to use a wedding/event planner for several reasons - wanting to save money, being fairly crafty/creative myself and having confidence in handling on my own details in pursuing something less "traditional", and being pretty resourceful. Shortly into the planning process, I realized it was going to be harder than I thought. I then met Mandi Buckland of Element Design. What sealed the deal was her calm energy and diversity in events she's worked on (weddings, parties, festivals, including "green" fests/events). She was great in identifying several unique wedding location options in Southwest and Southern MI, including a fabulous barn, a garden, and a super cool lodge (we ended up at a mansion in Holland). When I asked her to design the invitations with a "modern art nouveau theme" using a peacock to match the theme of a mansion built in the early 1900s (not easy!) - she provided several fabulous sample designs within a short period of time. Our final invitations were really unique and fun! After our invites went out, I received an unexpected amount of of great feedback ("I love your invitations!" "They are so unique," etc.) and I could tell they made people look forward to the wedding. I felt like Mandi figured out my sense of my style quickly, and she was able to identify options that fit that were creative, cost-conscious (extra plus) and didn't compromise on quality. At the same time she was working with me, she was helping a friend design invitations for a wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, so her range of work can be simple, arty/less traditional, to more traditional/upscale. Pretty impressive! Mandi is professional, efficient, super creative, and I would recommend her to anyone in Chicago, Detroit (or anywhere in between the two cities in Michigan or Illinois) who is planning a wedding in Southwest or Southern Michigan!

My husband and I got married here in the fall. NOT worth the money. It looked amazing when we…read moreviewed the place. It was even still decorated from their relatives wedding a few weeks prior to us viewing it. However, upon actually using the place it was clearly cleaned immaculately for the family member. The huge beautiful windows were murky and had smudges all over them (A few of my wedding photos show this). The yellow jackets were a HUGE problem resulting in 2 guests being stung. You aren't allowed to use an outside caterer unless you pay them $2000 and the food had no flavor. They set out MOLDY cheese for our guests, which did get partially consumed before a bridesmaid noticed. They removed the appetizers and never said a word to my husband or me and never replaced it with anything! We paid over $300 for cheese, crackers, and veggies! They state in the contract that we can't take home leftovers due to Health Department codes, understandable, however, their kitchen staff took the leftovers home after clearing dinner up before our guests were even done eating. Their kitchen staff also stole desserts that we paid for from a separate vendor! No one is on site after dinner is cleaned up so if you have anything come up during the reception you have to contact them over the phone. Our DJ stated he didn't like the way the owner dictated how everything was set up and time frames so he has decided to no longer DJ at this venue. The next day we discovered trash in the room to get ready in that was obviously not left by us which means they didn't even thoroughly clean the room. We were so highly disappointed with this place. We worked hard to pay for this and it was not the dream wedding we both envisioned at all.
