That's difficult to do when you can't just do a test run and set up a bazillion tents, chairs, linens, etc. just for practice! Darryl even made an extra trip out to our reception venue just so he could visualize what we wanted better, and direct his crew on how to set it up. The staff was always friendly and helpful in person and via email, and I was never charged with hidden fees I didn't know about. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price of linen rental. This may be the price that the linen company sets, not TRU, but $15 for linens you can't keep seems crazy to me. I purchased mine for $7 each online, laundered them afterward, and now I'm reselling them to make most of my money back. Buy linens, don't rent them, unless you've got unlimited funds.

Being such a high-end and well-known name in our community, I thought that surely they were out of our budget. Not so! Tim March was spectacular and professional from start to finish when planning our reception. He was diligent, kept in touch often, and we felt like we'd known him for years while dealing with him. Food was delicious, and we had no complaints. We were billed exactly as discussed, with no hidden fees. I did not interact with any wait staff or servers, but as far as I know, they were top-notch too! Highly recommended for weddings, even with a limited budget!
