We been there several times and have never been disappointed. The venue is huge and is beautifully decorated. Very impressive. Their buffet appetizer was simply very good with a very large selection including offerings brought by our table. There were at least 350-400 people there last night and the sit down dinner was also overall very good. My wife had the chicken franchise, son the beef, and had the salmon. All portions were large. The salmon was a bit dry but good. I realize that can happen when ur feeding 400+ people at the same time. Justin our waiter did a great job and was very focused on doing his best to serve us. I would recommend The Venetian to anyone looking to hold an event. I've been there repeatedly and never left disappointed.

We hit it off the first time we met at his New York office, and we knew we would have a great time working with him. From the beginning, he tried to understand our overall vision and aesthetic for the wedding. He gave us great suggestions for how to transform a hotel conference room into a really beautiful, opulent space (which he did!). He draped the entire room in white flowy fabric and put hundreds of candles in the one floor-to-ceiling window wall of the room. He found these amazing gold candlestick holders for our high centerpieces which ended up looking phenomenal. He and his staff were great on the day of the wedding and got everything where it needed to be on time both at the church and at the hotel. The ballroom was set up beautifully, and we were in awe of the transformation. Mitch was really patient with the many, many questions and requests my wife and I had over the months leading up to the wedding, and he didn't try to oversell us on things we didn't want or need. He has an easy, relaxed manner that puts you at ease. We felt very comfortable that he and his team would deliver. And they absolutely did. Just look at the pictures :) Thanks Mitch!

We came across Exquisite and we were not disappointed. I asked around as I knew some people who had used Exquisite and they had nothing but great things to say. One of my bridesmaids went to multiple weddings with Exquisite as the DJ/MC and she said they always did a great job. Communicating was super easy with the team throughout the process. What i really loved was a few weeks before the wedding, Cathy hopped on what was supposed to be a one hour call, but ended up being close to two just so she could fully understand my wants and needs. She's also so hilarious! I'm so glad we went with her as our day of coordinator - it was super helpful. Overall great company to work with! Everyone had so much fun and they helped execute my ideas for our special day!

Everything was super organized leading up to the day: the planning, calls, questionnaires, and working with our venue were all really straightforward. We never felt confused or like we had to chase anyone down for information. On the day of, they absolutely delivered. The photobooth was a huge hit with our guests and really added to the night. Cathy, our MC, absolutely rules. She brought such a fun, positive energy and you could genuinely tell she cared about making sure everyone was having a good time and had what they needed. She was even cracking jokes back and forth with our bridal party and made everything feel light, natural, and easy. Her ability to read the room was also a big deal for us. During our Tea Ceremony, one of our parents is very traditional, and Cathy picked up on that immediately. She made a couple of on-the-fly suggestions that honestly saved us from what could've been a stressful and awkward moment. The bilingual aspect (English + Cantonese) was extremely important for our families, and they handled it perfectly. Both languages were clear, balanced, and equally understandable. Nothing felt uneven or overly accented, which seems to be fairly common. A lot of our guests would've missed important parts of the night without that. Music-wise, the sound quality was awesome, the playlist process was easy, and they were really flexible about incorporating a few of our custom tracks. My only small tip for future couples is to mention if you prefer shorter edits during the high-energy dancing sections (this applies to every DJ I have ever heard at a wedding btw). Something like keeping songs to no more than two choruses. Even with that, the vibe stayed amazing all night, and so many of our guests came up to us saying how much fun they had and how great the wedding felt. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Exquisite. They were organized, fun, easy to work with, and genuinely elevated the experience for us and our guests. It was one of the easiest vendor decisions we made, and they delivered beyond expectations.

I hired Tzo Ai for month-of coordination and she exceeded my expectations in every way. She started working on my wedding a full two months out and she was extremely thorough, organized, calm and responsive. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything was flawless and exactly as I'd imagined it. Tzo Ai made sure that everyone was running perfectly on schedule, so much so that we were actually AHEAD of schedule at times so we had room for extra photos!

Well before the month began, Tzo Ai sprang into action. A year prior to the wedding, she joined my wife for a walk-through of the venue. She also made sure to highlight important points that we needed to focus on in the months prior to the wedding. My wife is very organized, but Tzo Ai used her breadth of knowledge to take things to a higher level. Her attention to detail shined in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She kept us focused on all of the important details. A crucial aspect for us was how well she handled problematic vendors with ease. When our wedding day came, Tzo Ai and Lauren were a delight. I've been to several weddings where the coordinator was overbearing, which made the event laborious. Tzo Ai was calm, focused, and was always immediately responsive when we needed something. She even was able to quickly fix a family member's wardrobe malfunction. The event went so smoothly because of her excellence in management and coordination. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

We came to Ceviche 517 Restaurant & Lounge as a group of five, hoping to find good food, great…read moremusic, and some fun new cocktails--and this place absolutely delivered on most fronts! A quick heads-up: on Google Maps it's listed as Ceviche 517, but the sign on the building says Tavern 517, which initially threw us off. We were circling around until we decided to just trust the physical address--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the name didn't even matter anymore. The decor is stunning--definitely has an upscale, Instagram-worthy vibe with a modern lounge feel. We might've come a little early because the place was quiet when we arrived, but that worked in our favor as we got to settle in comfortably and explore the menu. Drinks were a mixed experience. We tried the margarita flight, which included coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry. The coconut and passion fruit margaritas were absolutely delicious--fresh, balanced, and memorable. The strawberry, however, was a big miss--tasted like kid's medicine and no one at the table could finish it. We also ordered a drink called something like Chicola--it had ginger ale, lime juice, and some type of liquor, and unfortunately, it was another one we couldn't get through. The flavors just didn't mix well, and everyone at the table agreed it was a no for us. On the flip side, the Perfect Mule with a strawberry twist, the Henny Mojito, and a bold and fun drink called No Sheets were much better received. Menus are displayed on sleek tablets, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the in-house menu offered way more options than what's listed online. And the food? Absolutely excellent. The Tallarín Saltado with vegetables was beyond delicious--we placed it in the center so everyone could dig in. The ceviche flight was fresh and flavorful, and the jalea (a fried seafood platter) didn't last long on the table either. One friend had the larger ceviche bowl paired with a mojito and already asked to come back just for that combo. Even the kid's arroz chaufa with chicken impressed us, with a big enough portion for leftovers. If there's one thing that fell flat, it was the atmosphere--at least early in the evening. When we arrived, the music playing sounded like retro video game tunes, but thankfully it transitioned into upbeat Spanish hits, including some great bachata that gave the space some energy. All in all, despite a few drink misses and a quiet start, this spot is a gem. The food alone is worth the trip, and we're definitely planning to return--next time a little later in the evening to hopefully catch a livelier vibe!
