The Reef's catering staff sounds nice over the phone but in actuality they have no idea what they are talking about when they give information to you. I know this I booked with The Reef for our reception and just recently 2months before our wedding backed out lost a 500 non-refund deposit because the catering staff conducts their business in a non-professional manner that leaves you worried all the time. Just to give you a handful of examples: every time I called they could not find our file, oh and they claim they work as a "team" but they give mis-leading information. They constantly asked us are we having a wedding there and constantly said "no", and the biggest of them all they tried to charge us extra $750 for a room that we were told was included with the ballroom. A bride and groom should not have to stress about their day especially worry bout their reception, hopefully this will help some of you out there. I told them I'd rather be out $500 than $8,000 absolute terrible service!

I just had my consultation for makeup/hair with Lucy and all I can say is WOW! She is amazing! She spent 4.5 hours with me and the best part she came to my house for the consultation. Lucy is on top of her game, two days after my consultation she called to touch base with me. I agree with the below comments, Lucy does have a warm aura that does puts you at ease. Too bad there was only 5 stars I would have given her more!


5/28/08: I just had my wedding and Lucy and Gina did and absolute wonderful job! Gina did my bridesmaids hair; I received numerous compliments throughout the night on their hair, and with Lucy my makeup and hair was flawless throughout the night not one touch up!! or fly away!!! my makeup look as good as it did as 9:30am,amazing my hair didn't move, not one eyelash was droopy because of all the crying all I can say amazing, I couldn't feel the make up on my face,it didn't rub off on peoples shirts, it looked so natural, it was great they also arrived on time and left before scheduled !

What can I say about Erin Cole Bridal, well A Lot! My appointment was the last appointment of the day and the consultant called me earlier that day and asked how for sure if I was going to make the appointment and I told her 100% why would I make an appointment If I was not going to make it. Right then an there gave me a terrible feeling about the place. When I arrived at the salon the consultant pretty much rushed me because she wanted to close up shop early, I seriously looked at maybe 3 gowns did not try any on. The consultant basically told me in a nutshell that I was too old of a bride ( I'm 27) too short (I'm 5'4") too fat ( I'm 120lbs) too broke but she told me to come back and purchase their couture jewelry. Needless to say I'm being nice for giving them one star :)
