I am so glad that there was a " Happy Ending " ...of course ! You did a great job . What a sweet couple. Congratulations...now you need to take a spa day !! c

What a beautiful couple, you sound like you were lots more gracious with the proprietor than I would have been! Glad everything turned out so well.

I can't wait to see the photos, without you God only knows, you were the reason the wedding was so wonderful. I'm glad everyone was happy and you were appreciated.

Congratulations to a job well done. You can see how ecstatic they are in this photo.
I look forward to more pictures :)

The happy couple looks so sweet. Can't wait to see more photos. Bob sounds like a complete pain in the rear.

Congrats on a job well done! Anxious to see some decor photos.

I wonder if it would help future venue renters if you could (calmly) explain to Bob where you had problems caused by him. For instance, the overlap of your rented time and someone else's rehearsal time has to be corrected. If he really needs the linens back by 10 pm then the party hosts need to know that prior to 10 pm. Think of it as helping a future bride's mother out, not necessarily helping Bob the Buffoon.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Sounds great but pictures would be awesome. Pesky, you are so capable. Its nice that you enjoy doing this type of thing. We do our own weddings too. It's fun.

Feedback for Bob is needed. He needs to write up guidelines people agree to before renting the venue. Then there will be no surprises.

There have been glowing feedback remarks on many sites, and I've heard great things about the place. The venue IS amazing, but I suspect that his hovering and worry had more to do with the elaborateness of our event versus others that go on there.

On Friday, there was another wedding going on, and it was pretty plain...I think most people just use his white linens and put up a jar of flowers and call it good (based on photos I've seen of weddings at the site). We did a really elaborate set up and I think that worried him a lot.

But that doesn't give him reason to have the overlaps and the hovering. After I'd stripped the tables, I had put the caterers linens on a pile and apparently he picked those up also-but brought them back when he realized they were not his. Honestly?? If you'd COUNTED the damnned things when you picked them up, you'd KNOW you had yours, making the ASSumption I'd shorted you...

I do plan on writing a review, however, I don't know that it will deter many from the venue. Once I get some pics I can show you how elaborate it was. My other DD's wedding was also very elaborate, the DJ at that wedding said he'd been doing weddings for 20 years and ours was by far the most detailed and unique. The folks at that venue were also skeptical, but they didn't hover! They did ask to use pics of our decor in their advertising, however! I just don't do 'simple'.

Here is a guest pic of the altar. It was covered in tule and then a bucket load of tissue paper flowers. I can't wait to get the photogs pics (she's shown taking pics!)

This is an example of how most of the weddings there get decorated. I think, as I looked at the pics, that he was nervous more so than being an idiot. We did go pretty over the top compared to what usually goes on out there.

Ok, this is just one of many tables we had there. This held samplings of desserts. Behind you can see a glimpse of the lounge area and the photobooth area,

Beautiful! Wow, but I can see the work involved in bringing in and having to set up everything.

So glad it was a happy day. Love the colorful sheers and fabrics used at the dessert table too. Can't wait to see more!

Wow -- what a day. You are quite the decorator. Look at all those colors! Love the smile on the bride. I am so happy all went well, thanks to you and your withering looks.

The bride and groom look so happy! I love that picture of them (also loved the one in the other post of your daughter in the purple wrap).

All in all, sounds like a wonderful day. I am looking forward to lots more pictures! :)

Still waiting for more decor pics, but here is some wonderful eye candy. My favorite one is where they're dipping on the dance floor.

The officiant was the Brides BFF. The bride, groom and officiant have been friends since HS, but the B&G only started dating 5 years ago.

DS walked his sister up the aisle-I was so touched she chose him, they have a very close bond.

And the fat little Pug, my granddog Julius, was ring bearer. DD2 was Matron of Honor and she walked him up the aisle to his perch on a rock next to her. Right on cue, the groom called him up for the rings and he jumped off the rock and went up to his mama & papa, where he stood for the duration, following them back down the aisle. He stole the show!

What wonderful pictures, we can feel the love and joy.
That sweet table is a thing of beauty, as well as the general feel we get from those pictures, you outdid yourself !!!!!!!!!

Pesky, indeed, you out did yourself. You should feel very proud. You nailed the Bohemian theme.

Just lovely, pesky! mitch is right: we can feel the love and joy. My best wishes to the bride & groom for a long, happy life together.

My favorite is when the officiant is probably announcing them as husband and wife and they are both smiling and so happy. What a wonderful, colorful party it was.

I do plan on writing a review, however, I don't know that it will deter many from the venue.
My suggestion was more than just a yelp style review, I meant actually speaking with Bob, or writing him, and suggesting where he could make improvements in the process for everyone's benefit - his and future renters. Golddust is right, he needs written guidelines, and your suggestions might help him define them. Maybe you could become his (paid) party consultant for elaborate events!
