I went!! I'm a 2016 bride. I really want to have my wedding there, but he's not convinced yet. I booked After Hours for my engagement party, though! YAY!

I was going to go, but I pretty much have my vendors booked, and my tasting is on 5/18, so we really didn't see a need to go. Just an FYI - venues 'preferred' vendors aren't always the best vendors, and they won't really give you a great price. Do some research before just booking preferred vendors.

lol, yes he did. And I refused to go up for anything. I was impressed with how many men went up! Such good boys!

I'm booked for my wedding this August at The Riviera! and YES don't just go with a preferred vendor! they all just refer one another (I used to work for a Limo company) a preferred vendor is about loyalty not actually about how great they are. and some places (like The Riviera) don't give you a preferred vendor discount on their meals either.

Some places make the preferred vendor kickback 15-20% of whatever they charge you.... Just remember to negotiate!!!

I have to look at my contract but I think I did get preferred vendor discount on meals....I used the florist and DJ but the photo was not preferred vendor....I just really loved the DJ
