If I could give Jefferson on the Lake zero stars, I would. I was a bridesmaid in my friend's…read morewedding this past summer, and unfortunately, it was one of the most poorly managed and unprofessional venues I've ever encountered. Upon arrival--at the exact time we were instructed to be there--there were no staff members on site to prepare the venue. The bride and bridal party were left to figure things out on their own. The tablecloths provided were wrinkled beyond belief, clearly having been stored in garbage bags and not even minimally steamed or pressed for presentation. The outdoor ceremony setup was equally unacceptable. Just 1-2 days prior, the groundskeepers had laid fresh mulch, leaving the entire space smelling strongly of manure. Guests had to endure the odor while watching the bride walk down the aisle flanked by dollar-store-quality fake flowers. To make matters worse, a large hole in the fencing behind the ceremony site--clearly visible to guests--was brought to the venue's attention at the rehearsal and the bride and groom specifically asked that it be repaired. It never was. It remained a major eyesore in every ceremony photo. Staff finally arrived about an hour before the wedding began. But instead of helping with critical last-minute details like steaming linens or assisting the bridal party, they chose to focus on washing down the walkways to remove an excessive amount of goose feces. Despite their efforts, the droppings remained in many areas--causing stains on dresses and even trapping the bride's veil to the ground during her entrance. Shockingly, the staff also thought it was appropriate to begin painting walls--yes, painting--just minutes before the bridal party was supposed to walk down the aisle. It was a last-ditch effort to cover up the deteriorating condition of the venue and left everyone speechless. It may sound exaggerated--but I truly wish I were making this up. The cocktail hour was just as chaotic. Bar lines were incredibly long due to a lack of experienced bartenders, and appetizers were served without plates--only napkins. Among a very limited spread of cheese and crackers sat a random bowl of chocolate Raisinettes, seemingly tossed in from a bulk container at BJ's. All of these issues combined took away from what should have been joyful moments. The bride and groom lost nearly an hour of their scheduled photography time due to these preventable mistakes and delays. No couple should have to endure this level of unprofessionalism on their wedding day. Jefferson on the Lake has a long way to go if it wants to be taken seriously as a wedding venue. I strongly urge future couples to reconsider booking here.

By all accounts, the food was awful, the service was even worst. A total disregard and disrespect for musicians as internal customers, and more-so to his patrons -- Don't get too attached to this place.... It won't be around long.

Aquila's gives a 30-minute grace period, which helped since the area gets very dark at night and the roads are narrow. I knew ahead of time there would be a lobster food truck and a live salsa band. When you arrive, you check in with the hostess, though there's no clear hostess stand since she's stationed at the end of the bar. The inside was crowded with no available seats, but we weren't there for the band anyway. Our igloo had a heater, but two would've been ideal. They recommend bringing a blanket, which I forgot, but it wasn't too cold--around the high 40s. We tried the "Sweet Wine Flight," which included Sparkling Rosé, Moscato, and white and red wine slushies. The white wine slushy was my favorite. It started raining while we were there, and everyone with fire pits cleared out, so I was extra glad we chose an igloo. They offered a cheese box, but it looked too small, so we stuck to drinks. Our server was polite and brought everything out quickly. Reservations give you two hours, and we had a great time. I like the variety of reservation options they offer. For suggestions: it would be nice to have a real charcuterie board instead of tiny cheese and veggie boxes. The indoor space could also be larger, especially for people coming for the live band, and there are no seats around the bar. Overall, though, it's a cozy spot, and I enjoyed the experience.

The communication from A Perfect Blend in the year leading up to our wedding was wonderful--any question we had, they answered right away. Their online planning portal was also so incredibly helpful for figuring out exactly what we wanted for music and how the flow of the day would go! And when we finally got to the day, DJ Mario was amazing! He did a perfect job of blending me and my husband's music tastes and playing crowd pleasers that got everyone hyped and on the dance floor. He dropped so many bangers during our first dance set that our Best Man turned to us and said "this playlist is TOO good! I can't sit down!" Mario kept the reception flowing perfectly, and I was THRILLED when he handed me the mic for a little karaoke session. It was truly the most fun I've ever had! I would recommend Mario and A Perfect Blend to literally everyone--I hope I get to go to a wedding DJ'd by them soon!

I'd fully recommend this service if you're looking for a wedding or event DJ - they asked questions we wouldn't have thought of (age group of our guests - suggested where to do the cake cutting to make sure the dance floor didn't empty out, etc), which made our lives easier during this hectic time. 10/10 for sure!!!

He got us dancing all night, and even helped us as the emcee of the night.
