We ordered for 30 people: Tacos 2 orders of 12 each: beef chicken brisket Guac 2 quarts Medium cheese enchiladas Salsa 2 quarts Total $330 Also had chips, dessert and salad from Costco It was perfect, plenty of food with some leftovers to last a few days after. I particularly loved the cheese enchiladas, not something I usually order. The green sauce was bomb. It was a busy day, so no pics. The only interesting thing is the tacos all came in lots of styrofoam containers instead of a larger aluminum tray, but it worked!

As soon as the venues opened up for touring, my parents wrote down places I was interested in that were within budget. This was only the second venue my parents had visited and I knew it was our place from the videos she sent me alone. My folks did most of the work with the Patel's, but any question I had or any requests we had were soundly heard and accommodated. Our wedding day was a gorgeous dream come true and this place is a huge reason why. I couldn't have imagined having our reception anywhere else. They were the easiest to work with. Weddings are stressful enough, you need vendors that ease that , not add to it. The Patel's are wonderful to work with and I'd love to come back for another party in the future.

The venue itself is beautiful, but our experience on the wedding day was incredibly disappointing. The communication leading up to the wedding was responsive and great, and our questions were answered promptly which we were very impressed with. However, responsiveness beforehand did not translate into execution on the wedding day. They reassured us that Marina was a certified wedding planner and that we didn't need to hire another one or a day of coordinator. That couldn't be more wrong. Our signature cocktail ingredients that we purchased ourselves and brought were misplaced. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, our family was led to believe they had forgotten to bring them. Several family members, and I during the wedding spent 30-60 minutes searching the venue and scrambling to find them or replacement ingredients. During the wedding they never offered to replace them or reimburse us for the hundreds of dollars they had lost. We had even spent time brewing tea specifically for the cocktails, which ultimately wasn't used either even though it was there. Before the wedding, I offered to batch the cocktails in advance to avoid exactly this type of problem. I was reassured that it wasn't necessary. When the missing ingredients were eventually found days later, we were asked to come pick them up after the wedding ourselves so they could be returned. There was no offer to reimburse us for the inconvenience until we pressed them for it. A simple phone call that night could've saved everything but there was no communication. If your guest count decreases before the wedding but they already charged you for plating or other things don't expect them to offer you a refund unless you press them for it either. When we arrived about 45 minutes before guests were scheduled to arrive, almost nothing had been set up yet, and the coordinator was in the office just eating. They ask you to assign your own friends and family to handle tasks that I expected the venue staff to coordinate. The reception tables were also not in the order requested. While we were still loading our belongings after the reception which was literally at 10pm sharp, the venue lights were turned off on us. I was literally loading things in my wedding dress with no help from the venue. My husband, the groom, also felt the bartenders hired from Nature Pointe were rude to him--on his wedding day! Also in general they don't allow caterers to cook anything on site so if you want anything that is supposed to be crispy or made on site, it's impossible, which makes the menu very limited. The "wedding planning" they offer is a sheet of vendors they know of and it's minimal and outdated. I understand that people have difficult days or personal circumstances, and I genuinely try to extend grace. Had someone simply acknowledged the mistakes, apologized, or attempted to make things right, I likely would have felt very differently. People often describe their wedding as one of the most important days of their lives. Thankfully, we were surrounded by wonderful family, friends, and incredible vendors who made the day special despite these issues. But many of the stressful moments we experienced were preventable. 3 months later I'm still disappointed and surprised that this all happened. If I were planning my wedding again, I would definitely choose a different venue AND not rely on reassurance that they have a day-of-coordinator.
