For starters, everything my husband and I imagined for our wedding came true because of Kruse Plaza. Both Annaliese and Lexi were phenomenal. My husband and I let them know what we wanted and they made all that come true. They were patient and were amazing to have throughout this experience. The day of the wedding Patrick and Lexi made sure we were good and treated us like royalty. Lexi went over everything with us to make sure we were ok with the flow. Anytime we had a question or needed some assistance, she was right there for us. She was the best! We couldn't have experienced anything better than this. When I first looked at the website, I fell in love. When we walked around with Patrick and did the tour, I fell in love even more. I knew this was the place I wanted to get married and if we were to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. If I was able to, Kruse Plaza would have more than 5 stars.

They made sure our wedding day was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Planning was a breeze with the wonderful coordinators and planners. The day of was stress free with everyone so kind to help and execute everything we wanted. The venue was gorgeous and classy which is exactly what we were wanting but I also felt so comfortable.

PFW is one of our favorite venues to provide services for. The loading area is level and goes right into the kitchen. They have 2 refridgerators and 2 ice machines available at no cost to vendors which provides a lower quote cost to the clients. Accessability is usually noon the day of the event in most cases. Parking is close and plentiful. They have plenty of Audio Visual options for your event. The only cons are some alcohol restrictions (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and if you have to adjust any event times last minute.

Our experience with ORCC was wonderful! My mom had reached out initially to the event coordinator, Wendy, and Wendy answered her questions so my mom could relay the information to me while I was at work, teaching full time. Wendy was fantastic about communicating with us throughout the planning process. While we did not get to choose a different caterer or bar service, we did have the great benefit of only needing to communicate with one vendor. They also worked with us to make choices more in line with our (more modest) budget. They had a DJ recommendation for us, too, which we utilized and were very happy with! The servers were amazing on the day of, and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful to us on our special day. Definitely recommend!
