Federal Reserve

When deciding on the perfect location for my wedding, there were no other options in my mind but the Federal Reserve. Through great word of mouth, and beautiful website, I made an appointment to see this fantastic venue. I fell in love immediately, would not consider anything else, and told my father to write the check. What a beautiful and classy establishment. What is better than having your ceremony in the loft upstairs, being taken to the vault with your spouse as your guests enjoy cocktails, introductions over the balcony all just a staircase away from your reception space? It really is an all inclusive space. There was only one negative I must mention, is that they supply you with a wedding planner, for the day to orchestrate the schedule of events, and she does not let a minute go by unattended. I felt rushed, crowded and overwhelmed by how overbearing she was at times. They book one event a day, and there is no reason to be on a minute by minute schedule. There is no need for someone to tell you, you are spending too much time speaking to guests and you must do your father/daughter dance NOW, it can not wait two minutes, in my opinion each and every guest should be acknowledged and regretfully, I was unable to do that. Also cake was not serviced to the guests who were dancing only four feet away, as the DJ was instructed by the wedding planner to lead them to the dance floor between dinner and the cake cutting so they could clear the tables, the cake and coffee was only left for the people still talking at the tables, so as people came off the dance floor as they could see the cake being served, the waiters did not return. My mother and photographer both searched for any employee to alleviate the situation, my own husband did not receive any cake and by the time it arrived frustrated he had already redirected his attention to socializing with guests and family members. Despite the few glitches, which really aren’t something that phases you in the moments of day, it was a wonderful experience, and looking back it was a fantastic experience.
