But at the price point it was just too steep (pun intended) for what we got: Deviled Eggs {4/5} interesting that it was fried! This was probably one of the best of our meal. It was just downhill from here. Crab Cakes {3/5} decent. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad either. Smashed Potatoes {4/5} crispy outside, soft, fluffy centers. Better than the mains! Prime Rib {2/5} so sadly overcooked with a side of a single overcooked, flavorless carrot to pair with it too. I was so disappointed. Seafood Catch of the Day {2/5} hubs had the fish dish and he said it was really bland. It lacked any flavor at all. Agnello Brasato {2/5} my mother-in-law had the lamb shank and it was braised for too long so it was dry. The Smoking Gun {4/5} creativity points for smoking inside a bottle before pouring. Decent cocktail but not a "must get" for whisky cocktail enthusiasts. Overcooked and overpriced. Maybe come for the view and cocktails. Hate that I have to give this two-stars but no one in my family liked it :(

We had a complex approach to the music production and event choreography and she worked every step of the way to help make sure it turned out the way we wanted it to. She was great with negotiating and coordinating with vendors (both candidate vendors and chosen vendors). She worked hard on really thoughtful, thorough design mood boards that showed she'd paid attention to our theme ideas, so Jonathan and I could make good decisions. On the day of the event, she was like a drill sergeant getting things on-point, on time! She treated us as friends, and we are very glad to have trusted her with our big day.

One Final Touch was hired to coordinate our wedding day, provide hair and make-up for my MOH and me, and play music. Vilma is incredibly professional, sweet, and on point.

Jen who is charge of hair and make-up did an incredible job. she is super knowledgeable, very accommodating and incredibly sweet. I can't say enough about how happy I am we hired Jen along with the planning and music services. Ron played our desired songs and mixed in some requests plus other tracks based on the mood of the moment. People told us all day long how amazing the selections were.

She worked with us close to a month before the event to plan this and specially gave us options for vendors based on our needs. She came in early with her assistant to get the floor for the baby shark theme ready and help us setup the tables, and contact the vendors and talk to them for the event coordination. We had the food vendor, puppet show host and the balloon guy and with Renee around it was so nice and relaxing as we didn't have to worry on those and spend great time with our kids and the guests. Highly recommended!
