She came with me to dress fittings, and did exactly what I wanted. They do everything from catering, to DJ, decorations, and everything can be customized! I went to what feels like a million other wedding planners in the area and they all wanted to charge me thousands and thousands of dollars. Brides On A Budget was at least 75% cheaper than anywhere else in the Wilmington/Raleigh area! Not only were they cheaper, but I think my wedding was much prettier than what anyone else wanted.

One of the best things they do is budget bouquets for the Bridesmaids (I was so worried I'd be spending a ton on them)! They worked out so well and looked beautiful!!! Fiore also worked with High Performance Lighting to create a beautiful hanging piece above our dance floor. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and spectacular it looked! The team at Fiore are all super friendly, quick to answer emails, and helped me throughout the entire process! I really let them do the work and trusted they had it down!

They were looking at every possible angle to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. At one point, I saw the wedding coordinator walk out to the street to motion a traveling bar cart to lower their singing as the wedding was going on. An Indian man, I didn't catch his name, was routinely walking around and asking everyone if there was anything they needed and insuring everyone was having a great time. He was super personable. The bartenders made excellent drinks and smiled the whole time. Good for them because my face would hurt from smiling that much. The event space itself, perfect for a small wedding, was beautiful and cozy and clean. I would definitely recommend hosting any event here!

Last night was the first time that my wife and I had been to City Club. It is a really attractive…read morevenue and there was a really beautifully decorated Christmas tree in one of the rooms. I have never seen such a tree so magnificent as that one. We took pictures of course. The ambiance was delightful. We were with a group celebrating Christmas together. Our group works together helping people in our community so it was an opportunity for us all to get to know one another better since we are usually all busy when we do our work. It was good to meet friends and other people who were co-workers that we had never met before. Also to meet their spouses. I thought the food was excellent, a fantastic salad with various condiments as well as beautifully cooked beef and an amazing shrimp dish. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The meal was self-service but the table service was very good also. The staff were reasonably attentive. I do feel that the food was expensive for what was provided. In local upscale restaurant recently we paid the same price but we had a waiter, an appetizer, drinks, a main course and a dessert, all high quality. I think this meal was almost double the price it should have been, especially since we had to pay for our drinks on top of a price that would have included drinks in other establishments. The bar service was not so good unfortunately. We arrived at the bar early and I ordered my wife a glass of wine. After the lady bartender poured the wine I handed her my bank card and told her that I would have a glass of Cabernet. She took my bank card and then moved on to two men who arrived after she served my wife, ignoring my order. I felt this was extremely rude and inappropriate. Given the occasion I decided not to not to ruin the evening by complaining, but rather wait until she finished their orders which were cocktails for four I believe. By the time she poured my glass of wine I had forgotten that she had not given me a receipt or my card back. I left the event without realizing that my card (with my name on it) was still at the bar. So the second error was not simply giving my card to one of the hosts (e.g., the lady in the red jacket) to give to one of the people in the room who was in charge and who would know right away where I was sitting and return it to me together with my receipt. Instead, I received a message from one of my colleagues after arriving home, late in the evening, that she had my card (Much to my surprise) and that she could get it back to me on Thursday. I thanked her for her kindness and I plan to meet up with her later today. I can honestly say that I have never had a bartender treat me in this way before, they always finish my order and give me my receipt and my card back before moving to the next customer. That is the customary thing to do. Perhaps she needed more help but an experienced bartender would follow the protocol regardless. Perhaps she got flustered. I let it pass and enjoyed the evening but when I learned that I left without my card being returned to me with no attempt to get it back to me for more than an hour while we were having dinner I decided to send in my review. Somebody needs to speak to that bartender about serving customers in an appropriate manner. Thanks for this opportunity to review The Club. It's such a great venue but I have attended other equally good restaurants that provide better value and superior service.
