Hi Ladies -Just got married and had our reception at the Magnolia. The reception itself was beautiful but we did run into some problems with the hotel that I want you guys to be aware of:1. I booked the ballroom in 2008 and they had promised me they would honor their 2008 prices. However, when I got the final bill they were charging me the 2009 prices. I had to point it out to them and they had to refund me $1000. If they promised you 2008 prices get it in writing and check your final bill!2. We had four wedding crashers at the reception. I had to escort four girls off the dance floor and take away the drinks they ordered on my dime. The street setting makes it difficult to control this. Ask them to put someone at the door all night.3. The hotel really started to nickel and dime us at the end there. They had promised me I could check into the bridal suite early and then told me that I had to pay for an additional night in order to get ready in that room. They also promised to feed my photographers with "extra meals" but ended up charging me for "vendor meals".4. They charged me a 21% service fee instead of the 20% that was in place when I booked the ballroom. They refused to change this back to 20%.Although they really frustrated me at the end, the reception was beautiful and they did a good job there. Just get whatever they promise you in writing and check your final bills carefully!
