Reynolds WeddingBanquet

\*During the setup of the wedding, everything went well except for the PDR setup. We were not told that there wasn't going to be chiavaris in all the rooms. So the PDR was set banquet chairs. Some of the chairs were also missing cushions so we swapped out some of the barstools and put them away. \*At the last minute we did accommodate a request for the lounge furniture to be moved in the ballroom in addition to the furniture that was already in the ballroom around the dance floor. Kate said she had a discussion with Jami about the furniture previously, but I do not believe be true. \*Joe did mention that he had a very unpleasant interaction with the photographer because she wanted to use lover's lane for pictures. She was upset that there was furniture in the way. During weddings we normally put the unwanted patio furniture on lover's lane, unless requested to move elsewhere. \*The reception did start late, but time was cut from other areas and the introduction of the bride and groom did start on time. Subsequently everything did start on time. \*Cake cutting was awkward because, because they announced the cutting of the cake. The guests filled the lounge while the bride and groom cut the cake and did the champagne toast. The guests did not know that they cake was not real so they were waiting for the cake to be cut. We were on time with the cake being served, but there might have been less than 5 minutes of a delay between the couple cutting the cake and us serving the sheet cake. \*Quite a few times Kate asked about clearing and bussing the tables. The staff did an awesome job of clearing and staying on the floor which can also be seen on the cameras. Tiffany, Justin, Jonathan, and Dallah had carts of glasses dishes numerous times. The Kate asked the bartenders about clearing and even they mentioned how staff was constantly on the floor clearing. \*All in all everything went well. There were quite a few discrepancies with what Kate "asked for' vs what was in the BEO. Im quite confident in saying she never mentioned certain items to Jami at all.
