    My husband and me, cutting the cake provided by Barbara

    Barbara is a joy to work with! Very professional, prompt and a complete sweet heart! I purchased the BEST wedding cake through her and everybody loved it! People are still talking about my wedding cake! It was PERFECT! People also loved the bartenders she provided! Thank you so much for helping my wedding come to life. I will definitely use her services again :-))))

    My daughter made the food for our event, but Barbara's staff presented them beautifully.

    See all

    An update to my prior review they apparently remove negative reviews on The Knot by abusing the…read moredispute function Completely unprofessional Prior Review: A major disappointment. We contracted them for two months of design work ahead of the date and received nothing for the first month. We prodded them through their frustrating website (the only means of communication since we never got any sort of direct email address) and when we did finally receive a mood board it was 6-8 images of items that were all clearly pulled from a single search on their preferred vendor website. We ended up doing all the decor planning and transportation ourselves so this was a complete waste. We only met our day-of coordinator a week or so ahead of the day and while Emily was professional and courteous Gina basically missed the whole meeting on the phone with someone else as we could hear through the video call. In the end bc we had done all the planning and transport ourselves and our venue coordinator had done all the logistics work with our vendors there wasn't much to do on the day. We found out later through social media they're contracting 3 or more weddings per weekend so if you want any sort of personal attention, look elsewhere. They're clearly optimizing for quantity over quality.

    There aren't enough words to express just how thankful we are for Gina and OFDE…read more Well beyond managing the details of the day, keeping the timeline, and facilitating vendor communication and organization leading up to our wedding-as a bride, I felt a sense of security knowing that Gina had our backs throughout the day. We planned and payed for our whole wedding ourselves and with Gina's help as our day of coordinator, our day was better than we ever could have imagined. Everything that Gina and her associate did to set up was absolutely stunning and she thought of everything. She was so calm and collected and that was priceless, as it helped keep me grounded. She was detailed oriented and made sure everything was set up to our liking. My husband and I both haven't stopped telling each other that hiring Gina was the best decision we made in planning since the day we first spoke to her. We felt an immense weight lifted off our shoulders since the day we hired her and the impact she had on our big day was massive. Would highly highly recommend!

    DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE. I WOULD GIVE 0/100 STARS, IF I COULD. THE OWNER IS UNHINGED AND DESPERATE…read moreFOR ATTENTION. GO LOOK AT REVIEWS HE'S MENTALLY UNSTABLE!!! After many rounds at this course, I always thought it was fun and cheap. Well, now I know exactly why it's cheap -- because the place is a disaster. The tee boxes are cratered, the greens are awful, and apparently the only thing the owner cares about is throwing tantrums over a single divot on a course already covered in them. We were on hole 15 when my buddy took a normal swing and made a divot -- nothing unusual, especially on a course with 80 divots per tee box. Out of nowhere, this guy comes storming up in flip‑flops, no socks, a dingy polo, golf clubs tossed in the back, and a six‑year‑old trailing behind him, and starts barking orders like a drill sergeant. He demands my buddy fill the divot. Fine -- my buddy says he will. Then my other friend tees off, and this clown is still standing there, arms crossed, repeating himself like a malfunctioning robot: "Fix that divot now." My buddy fills it, and instead of leaving, this man announces he's going to "watch everyone swing." Completely deranged behavior. We politely tell him it's time for him to move along. Words are exchanged. Then this genius decides to take our cart keys and tells us it's "our time to leave" and that we can walk back. We're stranded on hole 15 with no idea who this lunatic is. We call the pro shop to complain. They apologize and say they have no idea who that guy is. One of our buddies walks all the way back to the clubhouse -- and guess who's behind the counter? Flip‑flops himself. He now claims he's the owner and tells my buddy to "get the f**k off the course." My buddy calls us, so we start walking back. An employee sees one of us walking and gives him a ride, telling him this isn't the first time customers have had issues with the owner -- apparently this guy has a whole history of meltdowns. As we're walking, the owner drives past us in a cart, taunting us about how "nice it is to ride since it's such a long walk." Truly the behavior of a grown man who has lost control of his life. Back at the clubhouse, we ask for a refund since we started on the back nine and only made it to hole 15. The front desk lady basically shrugs and says she can't do anything because "he's the owner" and this kind of thing "isn't uncommon." Then Mr. Unhappy himself shows up again and tells us we're "f**king stupid" if we think he's giving us a refund because he's the owner and he "has the right." At that point, we knew we weren't getting our money back, but we wanted documentation of how insane this was, so we asked for the cops to be called. The owner then tries to threaten us with DUIs and says this will "blow up in your face." The cops arrive, listen to the story, and even they think the situation is ridiculous -- but since he's the owner, if he wants us trespassed, that's what happens. We told the officers we understood and that we weren't expecting a refund at that point. We left, trespassed -- which is honestly a blessing, because why would we ever want to spend another dollar here? To top it off, the buddy who walked all the way to the pro shop had a contract ready to spend serious money with this place. That deal is dead now. This was a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with a man who clearly needs help. We were just the unlucky targets of his miserable, frustrated life. NEVER GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY!!!

    We have only visited this location for birthday parties, once when they first opened and once…read morerecently. The first birthday that we attended was a mediocre experience. It was a Sunday late afternoon. The venue had at least three birthday parties ongoing at the same time. Each birthday party's section was divided by a short fence. Separation is minimal at best. There were too many kids in most of the inflatables and the capacity level did not appear to be controlled. Parents had very limited space to stay close to their children. It is not an issue for older children but it can be a challenge for younger ones. With the more recent birthday party, the hosts opted for a private 2.5 hour session and it was a lot more comfortable. The party had approximately 50 people. Our children were able to venture and explore at their own comfort and with plenty of space to jump, bounce, and run. I am unsure if FunFlatables has the option to cater food but the hosts brought pizza, fruits, cookies, soft drinks, juice, and birthday cake. Our party had at least six plastic picnic tables so there were enough seating for everyone. The venue is relatively clean. There are two all gender bathrooms. For a private party with a controlled capacity, that is adequate. If they have open play and/or birthday parties with a lot of attendees, that might not be adequate. Most children in the midst of fun tend to wait till the last minute to indicate they have to use the bathroom so you might want to plan ahead!

We did his party on a Friday evening (5-8pm) and it worked out perfectly. PROS- private event, 3 hours with 3 legit pizzas and 15 juices boxes was under $600 CONS- none OTHER- I scheduled online and somehow when I called to check in with them 2 days in advance there was a mistake that didn't align with what I thought I was getting... Thankfully, they were able to get it all rescheduled correctly!

    Disappointing experience despite a fresh and new business relationship. We have used this catering…read morecompany for multiple corporate events and have spent considerable money with them. Historically, the food and service have been very good, which makes our experience with our most recent BBQ event particularly disappointing. The weather was questionable the morning of the event, so we understood the decision to precook the burgers and brats. However, the weather ultimately cooperated, and the event proceeded as planned. We specifically requested that we use at least one large gas grill we provided, even if only to keep the grill/char lines going, but that did not happen. The catering team arrived on time, but the setup was not completed as expected. Two chefs who had originally been scheduled to be onsite to cook the food ultimately spent much of the event standing around with very little involvement. More importantly, the food was served lukewarm to cold even though it arrived in hotboxes, and some food was undercooked/raw. The sternos were not lit until well after the food had been set up and less than 10 minutes before mealtime, which did little to address the temperature problem. For the price we paid, the quality of service and temperature of the food were simply not acceptable. I immediately raised my concerns with the event planner after the event. When I didn't receive a follow-up, I emailed to express our disappointment. To the event planner's credit, she responded and said the owner wanted to address the matter personally and would contact me after returning from out of town. That was over a month ago, and we have still received no communication. A coworker who also helps coordinate our company events separately contacted her point of contact at the company, but also received no response. What is most disappointing is not simply that one event did not meet expectations. We have been a significant repeat customer, and we expected our concerns to be acknowledged and addressed professionally. Instead, we received no follow-up at all. We have had good experiences with this caterer in the past, which is why this situation has been frustrating. Unfortunately, the combination of cold food, a lack of attention during the event, and zero follow-up afterward has made us decide to seek catering elsewhere for our corporate events.

Getting everything in order before the big day is one part of her work, she gathered vendors months in advance and made sure we were all on the same page. But the day of is critical, there is so much going on behind the scenes and keeping the couple happy and calm PLUS maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor isn't easy. Kristina does it with ease!

She has been in the business for a long time and knows what a wedding entails. From the save the date to saying goodbye to all the guests after it is all over. Before the wedding she is creative, organized, accommodating, on top of everything, gives good advice, tells you how it really works, gives you lots of options to consider and such an educator in the wedding world, and again has great references of vendors. The day of she becomes the personal assistant for whatever you need and makes sure everything runs smoothly by taking care of all issues behind the scene. We loved working with her and she made our outdoor ceremony and tented wedding reception run completely smooth. Not an easy job!
