I'm back! I can not believe how time flies. The wedding went by TOO quickly and the honeymoon ended too soon!!!! I loved Hawaii, who ever is going there for their HM will LOVE IT!
I will post a review a bit later, when I get pics and stuff. Overall my wedding was OKAY.
Leonard's was HORRIBLE! If I had to do this all over again, I would NOT do it there. The experience with them both before and after the wedding was really F*D up and on the wedding day it was even worse!!!!
Welcome back! So glad to hear Hawaii was awesome, I can only imagine!
So sorry to hear about Leonard's...I can't say I'm surprised, but it stinks nonetheless...
How are you feeling otherwise? Isn't being married the best?!
Wishing you and your new husband many blessings!

I'm so sorry to hear about Leonard's.
They were really good to us. What happened?
The feedback my parents got from our guests was HORRIBLE!!!
1. They didn't direct guests well. When guests arrived they had NOWHERE to go. They did not tell them where to go or what to do. 2. They were STILL setting up the Ceremony room even though the guests were all there! In front of all of them! Because of this, the ceremony was late.
So the CH was late. And guests said by the time they got there, the food was COLD!!!
3. One of the major reasons we chose to do our wedding there is due to scenery. It has a lot of nice places to take pics at. Even though we arrived early, they didn't let us take ANY picutes in the hall itself, with family. They basically kicked us out and we had to take pictures outside. Through out the whole wedding they wouldn't let us take pics ANYWHERE in there!!!!! The photographers and us had to stay AFTER the wedding (1:30 AM) to take pics there!!!! 4. Apparently the service was horrible! 5. I told them what sculpture I wanted for the Cocktail, gave pics and all and paid $250!!!!! extra!!!! I think they put someone elses sculpture there, because it was definatley NOT what I ordered. Some little boy and girl. That is NOT the pic I have at all.. mine was more abstract. 5. Everything was so diss-organized. Everywhere!!!! Even after the wedding started, no one knew where to go, and where they were expected to be. 6. We ordered and PAID for extra food for the table like shish kebobs, they didn't put them there at alL!!!! .... It was just a disaster!

Re: I'm back!!!
You should definetly go back to them and tell them that things written in your contract and what you paid for were not delivered.
It's a shame that a beautiful place like Leonard's has such selective service.
I WAS considering them but it seems that you ARE taking a gamble with your wedding day if you go with them.
No to mention that the BM that I spoke with Antonio is an arrogant (bleep)!!
I hope you were able to get some other nice memories out your day other than what you posted.
Congratulation and all the best to you and your husband!

Sorry.. I am sure you won't have many of the problems because you will be coming back from a Church. We had our ceremony there and most of the problems were due to that.
