Re: ARIANA WATERFALLS
FH and I went to Windows on the lake and loved it but they wanted a min of 130 people on a Friday night so we went with the Beach Club Estate which is owed by the same people as Windows. They are very nice there. We like it that there is only one wedding at a time, the grounds are nice and its right on the water. And the the price was right. The food seems to be good and there is a lot of menu selections.

Re: ARIANA WATERFALLS
hey gals, well i do know that they are not a restaurant. and we were also told that the prices will increase after march but i know that is customary with all the halls. this year's price is never next year's. i believe that they must have had some renovations because if you look on the website ariana waterfalls for pictures the floor in the reception room is different. my uncle is a videographer and does many wedding on the island. i'll have to ask him also.

My sister works in a law firm and two of the attorneys recently got married there (they could have afforded a wedding anywhere) and my sister said the food was top notch.

Re: ARIANA WATERFALLS
I spoke to Tony and Ishemal- Tony was very nice but told me that the prices would go up for my 3/21/04 wedding- the prices were very reasonable but i asked for a tasting and we were told that i have to put a deposit first $500- I didnt like that - I also spoke with Ishmeal and he wasnt very flexible- He made me feel like I wouldnt get what i wanted for MY day- and although the prices are reasonable-they make up for it on the service charge which was 18%( and is going up another 5-10%) when i went in oct 02- the place is beautiful inside and its only one wedding- If I was having less guests- I would book them- not sure about the rumors- I found them on the internet- havent heard anything good or bad- but Isheamel is not the one to talk to- see Tony- Good Luck

Re: ARIANA WATERFALLS
I totally agree that Ismael is creepy. Must admit Arianna turned me off cuz I had an appt. w/Tony & he never showed up. I got sandwiched in w/another bride for the tour & when I asked what happened to Tony, Ismael said 'I guess he forgot' Didn't inspire much confidence for me.
I really wasn't impressed w/anything about Arianna except price, jmo. Ishmael implied that the prices could go up at any time they saw fit & didn't like that either. I think you can find something better for the same price I'd keep looking around - unless your heart is set on Arianna. Either way - Good luck!
