I truly don't understand how this company has so many good reviews. We booked our wedding in the…read moresummer of 2021 at The Wellborn for 11/12/22. We were so excited because the venue seemed amazing and so did everything Avenue provided according to their website. They say they help you plan everything from start to finish however this was not our experience. Everything started fine and we didn't really interact with them for the first year aside from signing and paying our contract. I thought it was odd that they didn't ask me any details about my plans or vision. They didn't even send me a preferred vendor list so I searched out my own. Which was fine because I found the most incredible vendor! Once we got a few months out from the wedding that's when it really fell apart. I reached out many times to finalize details and to try to nail down our menu. My messages were often times left with little to no answers and even ignored. I also thought found it strange that I was assigned 3 different "event managers" through the process. We ended up with Sarah who was very nice but not helpful. Their "venue relations manager", Annalise, never spoke to me once although she was included in the conversation many times. Often the poor communication was blamed on the venue itself but the venue ended up stepping in to fix everything!! Information given to me by avenue was completely different then information provided by Wellborn. Including food choices and pricing, bar selection and pricing, signature drink selection, vendor set up times and requirements. Basically all the important things. Three weeks before the wedding we still had no answers and had no idea what our guests were going to eat!! Desperate, I reached out directly to The Wellborn begging for help and thank god I did because their event director, Hannah, saved my event!!! I had many vendors to coordinate and I had hired my officiant to also plan and manage the day of the event. She and Hannah literally saved my wedding! I can't say it enough. I was never needy or difficult. I didn't even ask for help until the last 3 months of planning. I felt very neglected and invisible. This was my second marriage so I was much more laid back about things. I had hoped that by booking through Avenue I could save a lot of stress and just enjoy everything. This was not so. I haven't shared all the things that went awry but it was bad enough that I considered legal action. However time has healed the wounds and instead I have turned to sharing some of my story so others may save themselves the grief and stress. I know of 2 others brides that were having their event very close to mine at the same venue and both had the same problems. Perhaps they provide better service when booking one of the venues they own instead of the venues that they provide third party management. I hate leaving bad reviews but I got turned into a Karen on this one and that makes me very very sad.

Blessing - Every single dish that was served was made with the highest quality ingredients. That combined with excellent service is just a recipe (pun intended) for success. Curse - They set the bar SO HIGH for every other restaurant or caterer I go to moving forward that I could only compare it to THIS experience and just pray it comes close. My friend stumbled upon this little gem as we were looking for a way to celebrate her birthday in a big way and mannn I'm glad that she did. From the moment the team arrived they were super friendly and asked us a variety of questions to make sure all of our needs were attended to. As we relaxed in the back of the house enjoying our mini pool party, they would come out with different platters that just got better each and every time. I guess this is what it feels like to live like royalty! Overall, I couldn't recommend them enough. -The Fashionable Foodie

The Rundown: You're paying for name, not necessarily a quality experience here…read more The Review: I'd never been here before, and it was rather hyped up before attending so I was looking forward to the experience. Initial impression from outside: Nice, I was surprised to find a golf course/(can you call it country?) club in the city! Once stepping inside however, it was very apparent that there was a general lack of attention to detail which I found odd. On the main screen the event going on is displayed and then you find yourself greeted by: a damaged sign advertising their Instagram. At a place that costs this much I'm really not sure how this is positive advertising? Took away from the initial experience. During the catering service the food was quite good, not anything that gave a memorable culinary experience and I'd say above average for catering but wasn't anything I would rave about. The odd part was the staff was almost TOO attentive. You'd turn around and anything at your spot belonging to the facility was removed. Did you go up to get more food? You'd return to find all the utensils gone. Eating and paused for a moment? If not, you'd likely turn and find an arm pop around you to remove your plate and any utensil around. It left a sense of feeling rushed and inconvenienced as there were no utensils clearly visible. You'd have to ask the staff who would direct you to utensils on a black tablecloth covered by a black napkin where there were a total of three sets. They were never refilled throughout the service so the running joke became asking your neighbor to guard your utensils and napkins if you'd step away otherwise risk eating with your hands. Also one of the staff you could always tell when she returned from a smoke break which was disappointing. But at least you knew a server was nearby when the odor of smoke came around and know your items might disappear if you weren't holding on to them? Overall, for the price you're paying keep in mind it's strictly for the name. The experience was subpar and I've been to better events where people spent less. This one felt very transactional - and not in a positive way.

The targets use virtual projection screens, so you're not just throwing at the same bullseye all night... you can choose from a ton of different games. We especially loved being able to switch things up and play games like darts, which made the experience so much more fun and interactive. The staff was fantastic from start to finish. The gentleman who got us set up was incredibly helpful, explained everything clearly, and even brought out some smaller throwing axes for us to try when we were playing the darts game. That extra level of attention really made the experience feel personalized and welcoming. The bartender was equally wonderful! Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. Everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It's clear that the people here care about creating a great experience for their guests. If you're looking for a fun date night, group outing, or just something different to do in Orlando, I highly recommend Banana's Axe Cabana. We'll definitely be back!

They were great with creating a menu with options as myself and my guests have different food allergies.

We kept going back for more. The price points were great for our budget and they were such a great company to work with. Communication was on point and they were very timely.
