They served us two huge crabcakes, filled mostly with crabmeat. The dish also had a beautiful basket made of waffle fries, filled with sweet potato fries, and stuck to the plate on a mound of mashed potatoes. The asparagus came tied in a neat little bundle. And the chocolate cheesecake for dessert was outstanding. It tasted home made and was deliciously light and fluffy for a cheesecake. The woman next to me remarked she didn't even like cheesecake and she ate the whole slice. I've never seen this done at professional events, but the wait staff even offered boxes if you didn't finish your meal. If this were a restaurant, I'd definitely go back. I'm not a member so I probably won't, but I'll keep an eye open for other events there. My one little grumble was that a soda cost $2 at the cash bar and the dinner cost $48, but I'm not sure how much went to fundraising for the group and what went towards the cost of the meal.

Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA?

The lighting was flawless. The DJ volume was flawless - you could hear the music and announcements up by the floor, fading as you get farther away so those who want to stay away from the noise can still be in the same room. Food was presented in order, waited on, people willing to help with whatever you need. The bartender saved me a Coke can for my long drive home! (Just in case. Always drive alert.) I'm used to random audio problems, suboptimal room arrangements, and just having to deal with the best we can get. This raises the bar. Thanks to my family for choosing Suburban Club for their event!

So I wasn't impressed with that aspect. Also, the service was very slow. Our entrees came right on top of our appetizers. They should have been spaced out better. The chicken tortilla soup was very good and had a little kick to it. The soft shell crabs were good and I am glad I got two as one would have been skimpy. They were pretty expensive for the size when the menu indicated they were large soft shell crabs. They were medium at best! Got the sweet potato fries as I opted for a caesar salad for my second side and vegetable. But as I indicated, the salads never arrived for anyone in our party. I ended up getting the ice cream sundae for dessert. I was pretty sufficiently full but the waitstaff said that it was really good and it was. It was a very good size and left me completely stuffed. All in all a good meal, but when the waitstaff doesn't bring food that is ordered, that is a pretty poor experience. Since we were being taken to dinner here, I didn't argue, but it should not have occurred.

We're writing this review about "Your Fairy Godmother Wedding and Events" nearly three months…read moreafter our wedding because, honestly, we had a hard time putting it together. We ended up really liking the owner and operator as a person, and that made it difficult to write this. She was kind and easy to talk to during the planning process, and I appreciated that she communicated with us even before she technically needed to. In fact, she came up with some ideas. One idea we used was for us to have a picture frame signed as a guestbook. We loved that idea and bought what was needed to make the idea come alive. The Ceremony: There were significant challenges on the wedding day. People arrived early at our request. Because the venue was far, our guests made sure to get there at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Since it was an outdoor ceremony, guests should have been guided outside, but without signs or direction, many wandered into the reception area instead. This was something we expected to be managed so the flow felt smooth for everyone. A particularly important issue for us was that there were no reserved signs for our family seating although this was discussed before the event. This meant that some of our closest family members didn't have the front-row seats we intended for them, and other guests ended up sitting in those seats. That was a significant oversight that really impacted our ceremony. Additionally, the order of the wedding party was arranged incorrectly, which was a major issue. My husband did not go out right after the officiant as planned, but after the bridesmaids and this mix-up disrupted the intentional flow of the music. As this seems like something my husband could have corrected on the spot, he was unable to because the owner and operator had him in the bathroom so he wouldn't see me, although I was in a separate room. This was especially disappointing because every song was chosen carefully, and this mistake really threw off the timing. Our wedding was at a golf course and there was an incident with the golf ball, which caused quite a bit of stress although no one was harmed. The owner and operator appeared frazzled after that, and it impacted the overall coordination. She mentioned that family members were hard to work with. They weren't difficult but they were trying to ensure our day went as planned. They noticed things were not set up as we envisioned and wanted to ensure our vision came to fruition. This should have been a priority for the company. One of the biggest disappointments for us was that the ceremony started more than half an hour late, even though we were at the venue by 3:40 pm for a 4:00 pm start time and our guests were already there and waiting. There was no reasonable excuse for the 30 minute delay although the golf ball became the excuse for the long delay. The Reception: The reception felt like our time wasn't being managed well. We had just introduced our key people, danced, and were enjoying the moment when we were suddenly told we had to eat right now. No heads-up, no transition, just an abrupt shift. She had a timeline to follow, so giving us even a little warning would've made things feel much less rushed and stressful. In addition to that, she did not give directions to the tables to get their meals. She had also mentioned beforehand that one of her biggest pet peeves was guests interrupting the couple while they were eating, and she assured us she would prevent that from happening. Unfortunately, when it came time for us to eat, we still had guests coming up to us, and she wasn't there to step in and give us that time. The wonderful idea of having our guests sign the picture frame never came to life. The Sharpie wasn't placed nearby, and there were no instructions, so guests didn't know to sign it. It went completely unused. One of the highlights we were excited about was dancing with the fans. We bought enough for everyone to "clack" while we danced, and we wanted them displayed in wicker baskets because it would've looked beautiful and matched the vibe. She told me she had baskets, so we didn't need to buy any. Instead, the fans sat in a plain Amazon box on the dance floor until guests used them for dancing. That wasn't my vision and it wasn't hers either. Since the timeline wasn't followed, we completely missed the toast that three people were prepared to give. It was a moment we were really looking forward to, and something that should have been captured on our wedding video but now it's something we can never get back. A lot happened that we didn't learn about until after the wedding. We later found out that she hadn't spoken to any of my vendors except the venue. That was the entire reason we hired a day-of coordinator; to coordinate our day. We planned the whole wedding ourselves; we simply needed someone to manage it, and unfortunately she fell short in that area. While we are not asking for a refund, we do believe that a certain level

This is the review I wish I had seen while I was researching wedding planners. TL;DR Sharon has…read morebeautiful decorations and will respond to text ASAP. However she may not deliver to your expectations. Something to notice with the reviews is how many of them are for officiating vs planning. When I first connected with Sharon she was extremely confident, had so many fabulous ideas and even had all the decor to go with it. She said she would bring all the decor the day of and decorate the whole venue. That was music to my ears. I'm not a decorator by any means so having Sharon's eye for decor and the decor To go with it completely put my mind at ease. I turned down so many other offers for decorations because I knew my wedding planner had it all taken care of. Or so I thought. Sharon also said she has this program prismm which she will take care of all the seating for guests. All she did in this app was set it up she never did the seating chart for me and blamed it on the app being terrible to work with. So I ended up creating the seating chart and sending it to the caterer. Also Sharon is terrible at responding to emails after you sign her contract. Very interesting how that works ... Moving on, Sharon came to the walkthrough and planning meeting at the venue with the catering manager and venue coordinator. It was a great meeting, I was able to let Sharon know all the decorations of hers i wanted to borrow and where she would be setting them up. She wrote it all down in a not so organized looking folder. That should've been a red flag but as a bride you're not looking for more stress. I even offered Sharon to pick up all the decorations and bring them to the venue for her and she said that was not necessary. Some positive notes, at my very last Minute request she printed my signage which was nice. It was just in plain black font on white paper but hey it was there the day of. The day of the event I did not go in the venue until moments before walking down the aisle and that was when I quickly noticed most of the decor promised by Sharon didn't make it. No greenery on the mantle or sweetheart table, no white silk flowers, no lanterns, no centerpieces for the tables. She told me she forgot the centerpieces and her husband was going to bring them. She did bring these beautiful gold chargers which thank goodness she did that otherwise it would've looked like I didn't do a single thing to add my own style to the venue. She also brought a card box, easel for the seating chart and a cake cutting set. At the end of the night Sharon got out of there as fast as she possibly could leaving us with tons of stuff to load into our car. thankfully the venue coordinator stayed late to help us get out of there as quick as possible. Sharon temporarily lost our marriage license and then failed to tell me it was at the venue until I reached out the next day frantically looking for it. I do think Sharon was a wonderful planner at a point in time it's just not at this time. She claims her daughter helps her but I didn't see her once. I even bought a vendor meal for her daughter but she was not at the wedding. If you use Sharon make sure you are on top of her constantly because she does have some beautiful decorations to offer maybe even pick them up from her house the day before and bring them to the venue yourself so you can guarantee your event will be decorated how you envisioned it.
