Aimsicle's reviews

We were married on the event lawn in a morning reception on August 7, 2010. I am so happy we went with Wente. They take care of their clients. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding. I arrived the morning of and they were setting up all of my table settings and decorations. It was nice to not have to worry about any of that. The reception room looked classy and elegant, but not over-the-top. I still am receiving compliments on how great the food was and how beautiful the ceremony and reception were. It was absolutely perfect.

My one and only complaint was that I was told over and over again that we could take pictures in the vineyard. Even at the rehearsal I was told that a shuttle would take us to the vineyards. The morning of the wedding while we were taking pictures they told my photographer that the vineyards are fenced off and you can't take pictures in there. I just wish they would have been up front with us on that.

I called the store inquiring about a certain dress. Unfortunately I called in the middle of their sample sale so a lot of the dresses I wanted to try on were already sold. The consultant I spoke with was Julie and she invited me to come in and try on different dresses to get a feel for the style and silhouette I was looking for.

There was absolutely no pressure and Julie was great! She kept bringing in more and more dresses and she knew I had no plans to buy a dress, but she gave us great customer service anyways. I definitely recommend this cute shop and Julie!

I attended this bridal faire at the Pleasanton Hilton on August 2. From the reviews at the Ritz Carlton I think Modern Bridal spends more time and attention on that faire because they did not do a good job at putting this one together. There was no champagne or appetizers as advertised. The vendors were in this small room that made it hard to walk around. What really bothered us was the fact that they had the fashion show in another small room and they didn't have enough chairs for everyone and they didn't allow for standing in the back or even on the side. It was not well thought out and we were really disappointed with this faire.
