Be careful and be ready to do a lot yourself 10/8/2009

We booked The Victorian primarily for the outside area. We were able to eat outside under the white lights and it was very beautiful. The bartender and serving staff were friendly and helpful. The tables were nicely decorated. Those are the positives. The main problem we had was with Bob, the owner. If you have your wedding here, be prepared to manage it yourself and double and triple check everything. When meeting with Bob he takes other phone calls so it's difficult to keep his attention. I sent him two emails with a list of the songs I wanted for the reception and our vows, and asked him to let me know he received them. He said he did. Then at the rehearsal he said he didn't have the vows-thank fully I brought a hard copy. At the reception, just before we were to start the first dance, the DJ told me he didn't have our list of songs. Not something a bride wants to deal with on her wedding day. I had to run upstairs and hand write all the songs while my guests waited to begin the dancing. The contract includes a party captain but the only person who helped us in any way was the DJ. I don't even know who the party captain was. The caretaker brought his family (5 of them and a baby) in and they all sat around by the bathroom during the reception. Very unprofessional! The staff called us to sit down for dinner and then we waited 20 more minutes at the tables because they weren't ready. This put us behind schedule for the cake cutting, dancing, etc. The decorations inside are old but it can be overlooked if you don't care too much about that, which I didn't. I don't discourage you from having your wedding here, but understand that you probably won't get everything that is promised and you'll have to do a lot of it yourself. Pros: Beautiful outside area at night. Cons: Bob, the owner, is difficult to reach and very unorganized. more
