-Im writing this as a MOH and someone who was keeping someone calm during this planning process -Little sister (A) and husband had a great time at their wedding. Priority was to have a crazy dance party,so they were largely pleased. -A guest somehow hijacked a golf cart and went on a joyride. No damage to anything, the owner let us know the next day and left it at that. A had 20-month engagement. For first 17 months, she worked from out-of-state w the venues events coordinator (#1). 3months ago, A, mom and I took day off and came in from out of state to meet with #1 in person; shed been failing to update paperwork and was slow to respond to emails, so A wanted to meet face-to-face to hash out final details. Appt was 10am Friday morning. She didnt show. Another employee spent 20 minutes trying to get a hold of her and couldnt. A emailed and called #1 and owner, with no response until Monday afternoon. #1 had quit (A had not been notified) and replaced w new planner (#2). After more delays in response, A got discount for inconvenience and bc #1 had overcharged. Thursday before wedding. Mom and A went to venue for final appointment w #2. During appointment, #2 told A that she wouldnt be there on Saturday, but there would be other people there to help. I was horrified, realizing shed just lost her day-of planner and ANY CONTINUITY AND REASSURANCE FROM HER 20 MONTHS OF PLANNING, but kept to myself. I have it on good authority that #2 hasnt shown up to a wedding since she started, though the fact that she didnt show up for even ONE is absolutely inexcusable, as she is the venues EVENTS COORDINATOR. Wedding day! GOOD: -Food was good! And the chef was very kind and accommodating (despite a few delays in service) and he advised my sister and helped her round out menu -Cake (baker is affiliated with the venue) was delicious and executed to brides request -It was a really great party (DJ not affiliated with venue) -Owner was there for some of the day when getting ready; nice and accommodating BAD: Dirty bridal suite. MY sister was only in her wedding dress for 10 minutes, we pulled hair and dust from her dress before sending her down the aisle. No day-of planner! I was in touch with vendors, handling deliveries, and reassuring bride. The guy working that day did his best, but he had no part in the planning process, so there wasnt any consistency, and we needed to track him down any time we needed anything. *After reading another review here, it seems that the coordinators regularly break the news that they wont be present very late in the process. If this is the case, why not make it very clear from the beginning that that role goes unfilled, instead of springing it on the bride when theres no time to remedy it? Overflowing garbage in front of venue and in bathrooms. Front trash was never emptied. Bathroom emptied upon request. Bartender refused to serve Coors Light to guests, though A had clarified in many emails that this specifically was paid for (it is all her FIL drinks, so she was diligent about it). She spoke to bartender multiple times about continued refusal. The guy who was there to help that day told the bartender to serve it after continued frustration, but if #2 had been there, I doubt this would have been an issue. I cant imagine how this would have gone if A had been a high-maintenance bride. Ppl are nice,but if you need continuity,reassurance,or attention to detail, this may not be the place for you.

Booked a reservation for a fortune 300 company event on a Tuesday. Spoke with the rep Thursday of the same week - they were going to send me modified menus to accommodate our party and confirmed the final details of the reservation. I got a call back a few hours later saying they were cancelling our event because they couldnt gather enough staff to cover our event. They said they were looking out for the service they could provide and their reputation - I have to say cancelling a huge party for a giant company is not the best way to uphold a reputation. Really disappointed and will not try going back here. Extremely unprofessional and unreliable. Maybe the foods good but well never know.

Was At seasons for my cousins wedding last night, the food was amazing, The servers were attentive, the male server was the sweetest thing he was asking how everything was and constantly checking up on us, he seamed to really enjoy his job and that made our mind at ease. I would recommend Traditions for any Wedding A+ rating.

I recently attend my own baby shower at Seasons. My sister previously was married and held her reception there as well. The food was excellent! The personal service was the reason I wanted to return for my shower and we were not disappointed. The venue is also beautiful and welcoming to guests.

Our daughter had her wedding and reception there on Oct.16, 2011. The food was delicious, the personnel were most helpful and attended to all the little details. It was a most memorable weekend and I would highly recommend it.

Attended a baby shower here with approximately 65 guests. Room was the right size; not crammed in and not cavernous. Food was good and the bathrooms were very clean.

Taco Bell wouldve been a better choice
