Marc sent someone in his place to our wedding, who told us he had never dj'ed before. This "backup…read moreof a backup" (Marc's words) showed up in an open, trashy looking Hawaiian shirt to our wedding at the fort garry hotel. He managed to not play any of the proper music agreed upon previously with Marc for the ceremony, instead playing rock songs for the wedding procession (instead of classical). He did not play the music we agreed on for the wedding reception, and would not play the songs requested to him in person by the bride and groom. Marc was contacted the night of, and told both the bride and the groom that he was on his way. He never bothered to show. A full refund was requested and received. Unfortunately the damage has been done and far exceeded the original payment given to Marc. An iPod and wireless speakers would have been a much wiser idea than trusting this company. If you don't want to run the risk of someone having a major screwup on your special day, avoid using supreme entertainer.

Recently, I attended a wedding that was catered by Storm at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG). They're…read morethe exclusive caterer of the WAG, Millennium Centre and Fort Gibraltor. Foods at weddings can be quite the disappointment due to crazy logistics and volumes at these events. But I have to say that I was impressed with the food. The appys consisted of mushroom bruschetta, vegetable wontons w/ plum suace, Thai chicken skewers, California roll, goat cheese with fresh herbs on tomato slices and a panchetta item. Overall, the appys were cooked properly and tasted good; an average to good showing here. I was impressed that the chicken skewers were quite juicy (and unusually large). The bread basket was pretty good as I ate 3 rolls to tie me over till dinnertime. They were the usual, whole wheat, white and pumpernickel dinner buns but tasted quite fresh! The Roasted Tomato Bisque with Puff Pastry Cheese Straw was really good despite the fact that it was a really hot summer night. The baby green and beet chip salad with sautéed red onion & goat cheese served with a calamata vinaigrette was a delicious salad. The salad was fresh and was not wilted. I loved that they didn't cheap out on the goat cheese as so many kitchens wimp out on that. The beet chip sounded interesting but really, just tasted like a chip from those vegetable chip assortments - I would've preferred roasted beets instead. The main was basil pesto, smoked mozzarella & braised leek stuffed chicken with a sun dried tomato cream sauce. It also came with potatoes, asparagus, red peppers, zucchini and shredded beets. I liked everything about this dish except for the cream sauce as it was too rich and heavy for me. Not that I would've wanted the proverbial brown sauce on chicken. Overall, a great dish as the chicken was super moist (pretty amazing feat as the whole reception was running about an hour behind so I'm sure that threw the kitchen's timing off). The vegetables were all cooked perfectly. The dessert was a Chocolate Bomb drizzled with White Chocolate with Raspberry Coulis & Chantilly Cream. It tasted more like a gelato as it wasn't quite an ice cream. It was a nice dessert - better than a cake! Service was decent - food came out pretty quickly to all the tables. The bartenders were efficient in making drinks as I recall visiting them pretty often! Overall, good caterers as the food here was on par or even better than what I've ever had at the Fairmont or Fort Garry events.

I too was recently at a wedding at the WAG catered by Storm. I have to say I was not terribly…read moreimpressed. The meal was alright (pork with some sort of blueberry sauce, grilled vegetables and potatoes), but the ice cream (or whatever it was) served for dessert was not very good at all. It was full of ice crystals like stuff you forget about in the freezer for a year. Also, I found their mini poutines to be lack lustre and the pink in the middle hamburger sliders left me somewhat concerened about food safety. Oh, and the redheaded waitress needs to check her shitty attitude at the door (no, I wasn't rude to her - I know waiting tables is not easy and I'm therefore very polite to servers, bartenders, etc. This girl was just rude!).

We rented & purchased some decor, from DDD, for our wedding, which was not in Winnipeg. When it…read morecame to shipping to our location, DDD planned to use the bus (Greyhound). We reminded DDD that the bus service, to our area, is only 4 days a week, and we would prefer to use a courier to ensure delivery in time for decorating, we were more than willing to pay for it. The DDD staff reassured us, emphatically, that they had always used the bus and never had any problems. Long story short, the decor DID NOT ARRIVE IN TIME for our wedding day. Fortunately some of the items we rented/purchased were not critical, and with amazing friends and family locally we were able to pull together the rest of the items we needed. Our beautiful wedding day went off without a hitch, and no one was the wiser as to the missing decor. When we spoke with them the following week about refunding for items not received in time, they refused. They refused to refund our deposit, for having returned the goods, completely unused. They refused to refund us for the couple of hundred tealight candles we purchased & at least wanted to return...they likely sold them to another bride/event, therefore selling them twice. The expense for these items, $650, was not huge, but nonetheless lost. I was referred to DDD by other brides who had used them locally (in my community) before. I discourage future brides in this area from ever using them, and if you are in Winnipeg, despite of the contract/agreement you may hold in your hands, beware. (had to give this rating 1 star because there is no lower option or a zero).

We recently got married as the golf club and had terrible experience. First off if you have your…read morewedding here, make sure you get an inventory of the drinks and check it yourself, as they tried to double charge us for cocktails. It also took us hounding them for weeks after the wedding to receive the inventory to confirm their numbers. The coordinator Kayla is not qualified for the job. She is very unorganised and is not professional. She would not return our emails or messages for weeks before the wedding. We only got a response after calling every day for three days. Due to this we were unable to confirm aspects of our food orders and time plan for the wedding. She was rude to our guests, she disappeared during the setup, and some of the vendors were told the wrong information causing our ceremony area to not be set up. When they did set it up, it was not how we intended it, and it was last minute while guests where at the ceremony area. She reneged on our agreements that had already been made and tried to negotiate the price with us during the reception. The bartenders did not have a bottle opener for the drinks we had ordered specifically for the event and lost the bottle openers that we loaned them. They also stopped serving certain drinks due to having to walk to the other bar for supplies. The General Manager was also rude and would not make time for us to discuss the problems we had with the coordinator and the venue. The General Manager and the Coordinator both failed to take responsibility for the mistakes and short comings at our event and refused to reimburse us in any way. We had to fight tooth and nail for them to honour the agreements we had made prior to the wedding. Do not have your wedding at this venue.

I am in the process of planning my wedding and Niakwa is one of the places I considered. I must say…read morethat I was very impressed by the level of service. Before putting down any kind of down payment on the date, Trevor, the banquet manager was absolutely awesome! When we arrived for our appointment and tour of the place, he had a folder of information ready for us. He made suggestions and offered to customize a meal plan. The place was very pretty and located in a great part of the city. In the end we did not book at Niakwa because there was a minimum of 160 guests that had to be invited. Our wedding will be much smaller, at about 120 guests, so we didn't think having a host bar to make up for the lack of guests would be suitable for us. If you're looking for a gorgeous reception, go see Trevor Clearwater at Niakwa Country Club!

This never happened as I've tried many times to get a hold of her and finally she told me that she only have half of my items back and lost the rest. Its hard to believe that she lost them, as she told me she works at the St. Boniface Golf and has a storage to lock them up. I did ask her to reimburse me for those items which was not much compared to the amount she made from me but she refuses and telling me it's not her problem. That's just bad business even if its your side job
