The Report
The wedding went very well considering all the small details. Guests were very pleased with the food and service. There were a lot of compliments. The timeline was a bit off, but the planning staff was able to quickly makeup "lost time." Only one extra cake was used and the three left were sent back with planner/couple. There were no issues with hammers, however they were not as popular. They were not passed around by servers. We placed them on the bar as directed and a lot of them were thrown away. There were also a lot of sliders(Late night snack) thrown away as well.
Issues
\*I understand that the member wanted a particular look for the reception, however there was only seating for 80 people in the entire space including outdoor seating as well. Guests asked for more seating and we were not able to accommodate due to the chairs and linen.
\*Multiple food stations in the loggia leads to very long lines and the loggia becomes very clustered.
\*There were quite a few people who were very inebriated. A conversation needs to be had with bartenders to be sure people are not being over served. Meaning if they ask for a Gin &tonic and they are clearly drunk, they need to be served just tonic water and a lime. We even had a guest throw up on the ledge on the veranda.

Exchange Club
Another Exchange Meeting down for the group after a short week-break. Everything went well and once again we were left with no salads left! Big hit.

Pipkin Bridesmaids Lunch
Great bridal lunch for the ladies. ( They loved the pink mimosa w/ the dust :) ) We added two settings, one of which we didn't end up needing. Everyone sat a little after 11:30 and got right to the buffet. No issues; the ladies had an amazing time

Beckum Lunch
Everything went well; during the setup with Mrs. Beckum the night prior, she had Kevin add a table to spread out the seating. Staff got everything ready to receive the ladies by 12. Very cut and dry lunch service, nothing too much for us to do except drop and clear
