I just wanted to make a thread because I went to my family members wedding this pass weekend at the Alexander Mansion in Garland and it SUCKED!
1. The people working there were NOT dressed up for a wedding. Plenty of them had on blue jeans?! It was not professional at all.
2. The food was nasty and they ran out! They had 2 trays of food. One was a pasta with chicken and the other was meatballs with garden salads. The food was cold and didn't have any seasoning on it. I know some people prefer unseasoned food but WOW, it was tasty. Oh and the punch was sugarless.
3.The area itself was hard to see, I didn't mind standing and waiting for them to change the room into the reception area but the room was crowded.Oh, did I mention you have to STAND and eat the cocktails.(it lasted about 1 1/2 hours).Plus, the first dance,cake cutting,etc. was hard to see because its on the other side of the room with people standing and sitting in front of you.
4. My last and the WORST part was that they started cleaning and taking down items an hour ahead of time. Her wedding was from 8pm-12pm and they started taking down the table creations right in our FACES. She took my bow of my chair while I was sitting in it?!They took down the head tables and everything. I was shocked! I called my venue to make sure you don't have to be cleaned up and out at 12am but be finishing up the reception. Sorry, if I seem like a b**** BUT its your freaking wedding day.Just a heads up to you ladies.Good luck!!!!
