sillyme's reviews

I was beyond pleased with Isabel. I booked her with a month to go and she was super helpful. She called ME to confirm our times and places. The quality of the video was excellent. I told her that I wanted a quirky - vintagey feel for the video and she was spot on. She took super 8 footage and even met with us at our Trash the Dress session to get more footage. She is also very costumer service oriented. I expressed some concerns to her and she addressed them to my satisfaction.

She does take about 4 mos. to edit, but the wait is worth it. I can only imagine how many hours went into this video. I should also say that you can hire someone who will charge less and deliver a video in less time. However you will not get the same quality and service that Isabel delivers.

My sister had her wedding there last year on March 25th 2007. It was the Morales wedding. I say this so you can call and confirm everything I am saying , if you want to.

The site was nice. The service was horrible. I forget the names of the two coordinators there, but they are the rudest people I have ever met. I wish I could remember her name, but one was a tall blonde woman with short hair.

She policed the entire event, She walked around the room making sure that all people eating were people we paid for. She was counting plates, chairs etc. Our mariachi band sat down to eat (it was a buffet) and the coordinator decided that we had not paid for them (we had, but there was a miscommunication) she would take their food. She literally snatched plates from under their noses and dumped them in the trash. This was in front of our guests. This was only the tip of the iceberg.

We paid for open bar, paid for by the hour, they ran out of alcohol and were rude about it. One bartender actually swung an empty bottle in front of myself and a guest and said - "sorry no more" and laughed about it with the other bartender.

There was no DOC that day, so I was the point of contact throughout the day. They definitely tried to make myself and our guests feel like we didn't belong.

Good food. Great service. The girls in the catering office are not the brightest, and will not go out of their way to help you, though. I literally spent over 10 hours in negotiation with them. If you are spending a lot of money with them, make sure to get some extras. Ask for substitutions, free stuff etc. You have to use of their cake vendors, and they all suck.

Oh no!!!!
We hired Maraichi San Antonio for 2 hours (stated in contract). After 1.5 hours they wanted to leave and go to another gig they booked.

DH had mentioned that they * might only play for 1.5 hours and they decided to double book during our time.

They would not listen to my DOC and refused to speak to her because 1. she was not us 2. She was not giving them the full amount.
Would not recommend.

Loved them. The only downside is that their prices vary from person to person so be sure to ask for the best price.

Cheap and Quick- I added riboon and viola!
