Hahaha... actually, the person who made the switch for me asked me where I heard complaints about Katina. I just said a wedding forum.. I didn't specify so no worries. :)

We had Vanessa as our bridal attendant, and she was awesome. When I called the week of my wedding to find out who my bridal attendant would be, I was told I would have Katina. Because of what RisiLeigh said about her, I requested someone else, and the Swan Club came through! My husband and I chilled in the bridal suite for half of the cocktail hour, and Vanessa made sure we had enough to drink and eat while we were up there. She was also great in letting us know what would be happening next. I didn’t have to worry about a thing!
Wow I am SO glad that my complaints about Katina stopped you girls from having her! I really wish I didn't tip her what we did, but my dad had already filled and sealed the tip envelopes, so oh well. I wonder if they are wondering why no one wants Katina, now![]()

Our maitre’d was great from the start. We met with her about a month before the wedding to select our menu, choose our linens, and to answer any questions that we had. I even called her 2 days before the wedding to change the head count, and she said no problem and that if fewer guests showed than what we paid for, she would refund us after the wedding. As expected, we had a few no shows, and we received a refund in the mail this week! I was very pleasantly surprised that the Swan Club does this because I know many reception halls will not refund for no shows.
My maitre'd promised they would do the same and then DID NOT. When I asked about it, he said that he never promised it, even though he told both myself and DH about it. In addition, he was not there before the wedding and as a result, the set up for the ceremony was incorrect, my ketubah signing was in the bridal suite, not outside, etc. What a disappointment! If I had known he was going to not refund what he promised he would have received a tip of $0.

I am so glad that you said the food was good! Right after I booked the Swan Club, a coworker of mine told me she recently went to a wedding there and hated the food! Me and FH havent yet gone for our tasting, but I am relieved that you two loved the food! Have you heard of anyone yourself not liking their food??

FH loved the food at the showcase. We went to a few other showcases at other RH and he didnt like any as much as he did the swan. Definitely the reason we booked there.

Personally I liked the food at the showcase but I didn't think it was any great thing BUT EVERYONE at my wedding RAVED about the food, and I mean everyone. I thought they were just being polite until I heard from a friend that she also had people mention to her that the food from our wedding was awesome.

The food there is nothing short of amazing! I only wish that DH and I got to enjoy more of it! When we watched our DVD, and saw all the CH food that we didn't get, we were drooling!!! We both said that we hope someone we know gets married there sometime in the future so we can eat and enjoy
