We were in town for the 100th annual Western Fairs Association convention (held inside the Grand…read moreSierra Resort) and when is a better time for a couple of our friends (in the fair industry) to finally tie the knot than then? Worked out great since many mutual friends were already in Reno and conveniently there is a chapel just down the escalators from the main floor. Beautiful venue. Simplistic and very high-end all at once. Rows of chairs on either side of the aisle with an altar, some steps, and a piano at the front. All of the small details were handled perfectly - a sign announcing the bride and groom, wedding cake, and celebratory drinks on top of the piano. Behind the scenes (literally behind a very decorative curtain) is a back area with rooms for privacy to change and prepare for the big day. The pastor was great. A friend played the piano as a wedding march and then sang a beautiful song for the couple. Huge congrats to our friends AnnMarie and Michael. So glad we were able to be there for them at their nuptials - especially in such a wonderful setting. If you're looking for a place to get married in Reno you can't go wrong with this hidden gem of a chapel within the Grand Sierra Resort.

I remember that it was decently clean, and decently organized, hence the decent rating. I dont remember very much of that day, just nerves, Crown Royal stashed in a 16oz water bottle (brides cousin, thanks Jim!), and of course my best mans comforting words..."Dude, im driving you over to the chapel now. We can totally leave town, RIGHT NOW! Im serious. Im just offering." I would not wish marriage on anyone, but if you are hellbent on doing it, might as well do it here. I recommend that you elope, get married by the city and save the $1200 price tag that getting married here cost me, and have a really cool honeymoon. But, what do i know.

Review of White Lotus Event Venue - 7.5/10 I'm finally…read moregetting around to writing a review. First off, White Lotus and White Orchid are owned by the same people, which was confusing when trying to book. White Orchid was harder to reach, so I ended up going with White Lotus, which shares a space with India Oven. The Good: Beautiful Venue: My wedding was a dream come true, and the venue itself was stunning. Good Customer Service: Two people, Nitu and Vinny, made the process smooth and stress-free. Nitu, the logistics coordinator, was polite, patient, and very responsive from the beginning. She gave us a thorough tour, answered all our questions, and helped with two date changes when we needed to accommodate out-of-state guests. When Nitu went on maternity leave, Vinny took over. He was equally helpful, allowing us to cater our own food by switching to a Friday booking instead of Saturday (since saturday is only if you catered from them), and he provided floor plans and quick responses via text and phone. We visited the venue three times after booking, and Vinny was always accommodating. He also adjusted the temperature and lighting on the day of the event to our liking. Smooth Rehearsal & Event Day: The rehearsal a few days before went smoothly, and Vinny remained attentive throughout the event. The Not-So-Good: Cleanliness Issues: The bar area was a mess--sticky drink stains, dirty cups, and old rags that were dry and stiff. There were stacks of dirty cups meant for use that we had to throw away. When we complained about the bar's condition, the response was simply, "I don't see anything wrong." Since nothing was done, we had to clean it ourselves, throwing out trash and clearing out the open, dirty cups that were supposed to be used for our event. When they brought out the silverware, the forks and spoons were left on the floor, and shockingly, there were cut fingernails inside the utensil bin. With no time to waste, my team cleaned what they could. The bridal suite was not cleaned properly--it wasn't vacuumed, and the mirrors and vanity drawers were dirty. Unprofessional Staff: Some of the staff, hired for floor assistance and cleaning, were sitting at our guest tables during parts of the event. Chairs were being stacked early--even before our event ended, the crew started putting away chairs while guests were still dancing and enjoying the night. Side Note: While communication with Nitu and Vinny was good, some details, including pricing and hours, changed depending on who we spoke with. Certain things needed to be written down and confirmed on the spot to avoid misunderstandings later. Availability & Communication After Signing the Contract: While Vinny was responsive and helpful before signing the contract and making our deposit, his availability and urgency noticeably decreased afterward. Maybe it could have been the busy wedding seasons? Scheduling became more difficult--initially, it was "Yes, we can do this and that", but as our wedding got closer, it became "Call when it gets closer," and then, when we did, we were told "No, we have other events on those dates." While these may seem like small issues, it added a lot of stress, especially with a large bridal party and guests coming from out of state. We ended up playing it by ear for some parts, which wasn't ideal when trying to coordinate schedules. Final Thoughts: Overall, I'd rate White Lotus a 7.5/10. Cleanliness could definitely be improved, and it makes me wonder about the condition of the food preparation areas we can't see. The venue itself was beautiful, this venue could easily be a 10/10.

First off, this banquet hall is huge with beautiful decor, pretty lighting of violet, gold tone furniture, etc. the dance floor is big, the DJ stage is wide, and the buffet room is huge to accommodate a big line. Their bathrooms are clean and lots of space as well. Their service is on point. I kept observing how frequent their servers would refill waters, toss plates for new ones, food was always stocked new, etc. they coordinated well and each played their part to help with the process. I do suggest having a custodian cleaning their bathrooms at all times though. Their toilets kept piling up and the bathroom floors were getting messy by the minute. They should really have a custodian cleaning the bathrooms frequently to keep the bathroom visits pleasant. This is my only complaint but I wouldn't deduct a star from it. Their food is great tasting. They have a wide arrangement of desserts and of course, their main entrees such as fried pakura, lamb stew, butter chicken, fish, and naan, more! It was delicious and each item had lots of flavor. I absolutely loved their chai tea! I maybe had 20 refills each mug lol! Bottom line, the wedding was great and memorable. The presentation was up to par and everything here is equipt to guarantee a good reception. I'm glad I came!

Rick shuttled the wedding couple and photographer to picturesque first photos of the snow capped Sierras, wildflowers, meadows and a beautiful pond. The venue has a cottage for the party to dress. My understanding is there are several venue options... we utilized the lower meadow for the ceremony and hors d'oeurves and then moved to the barn for dinner and dancing. The team shuttled anyone that wanted a ride; I, as most, preferred walking the pathway of lights to the beautiful upper meadow and barn. Tables, place settings and decorations were setup per my daughter's request. It was perfect evening. We utilized the barn to dance the night away. Some tips: If you want a limousine or party bus both Folsom and El Dorado counties offer transportation rebates($500 and up) if you have enough people staying at a local hotel. Check out "Go Folsom". We utilized Pinklane_Events wedding coordinator; Hannah made sure everything ran smoothly and has lots of decorator items to make your vision come true.
