text: Are you a BRIDE thinking about having your wedding here STOPnCan you give a place no stars This place has HORRIBLE reviews of JUST the HOTEL despite their so called Renovations so beware And I am not even complaining about their Hotel This review Or RANT ha ha is for the EVENTSWEDDING department STAY AWAY wasted months of precious planning time working with Janeen and Tricia from the Plaza I was given tours of the property and what was coming and promised how awesome the new banquet rooms would be My first mistakenI was even promised event food and booze pricing for my wedding because of the inconvenience of their renovations Because of that I decided on the Plaza A few months later I was finally suckered into signing a contract and giving them a deposit Then I finally SAW the new banquet rooms My BADnThey were normal boring banquet rooms and most of the area in them was not even NEW including the carpet If that was not enough of a joke the two vendor companies the Plaza referred me to to help decorate my event were shockingly unprofessional nOne called Ltevention never returned calls or emails over a one month period and the other a lady named Maya scoffed at me as a client because I had GASP a budget In this economy can you IMAGINEn She expected me to want to she will out over just for floor to ceiling draping to make the room as she put it more stylish in addition to all the linens flowers etc that I wanted Never mind that I thought that since the room would have been a lot more elegant as promised over and OVER by the Plaza why would draping even be necessary It is after all an OPTIONn Then to add insult to serious injury when I told her I was not interested in those types of items just simple flowers linens and chair covers her whole attitude and demeanor changed She got snotty After several attempts to contact her to finalize the rental of the simple items I did want she chickened out of any contact with me and enlisted the Plaza to tell me that she would not work with me And this was a vendor that my contracted Hotel the PLAZA referred me to What So basically I do not have enough money in my lowly budget to waste your timeWell sorry LOTS of people are on a wedding budget and do not have to spend on a wedding As a couple we are paying for all of this ourselvesn I was appalled that in this economy ANY vendor in any type of industry could SCOFF at taking on a client no matter their budget Unbelievable nWhen I expressed my frustration to the Plaza about these two quacks that THEY referred me to mind you they were of no help All I got was the too bad that is the way it is song and dance Just more professional sounding and wordyThen they repeatedly tried to professionally distance themselves from these outside vendors by saying just that They do not officially work for us blah blahbut who cares Do not they have any sense of professional integrity That fact remains that the Plaza assured me that they would take stress and frustration out of the process for me by referring vendors What about THAT promisenBy that point they had my for only days and JUST the day before I had been emailed menus so I could actually after MONTHS finally start planning what my guests could eat But by that time I had a BAD taste in my mouth especially about the crappy banquet room so I respectfully asked for my deposit back in writing Yes I did write respectfully in my written request I can show it to you Not that I stood a chancenBecause of course no respect was given Sure officially I signed and I knew they were going to take my money and run but I thought maybe just MAYBE because of the way their vendors handled me and the fact that up to that point the only thing I had planned with them was seeing their craptacular ball room and I was pushed around and ignored that I could appeal to any sort of professional ethics they might have and just respectfully bow out hopefully with my deposit I was so wrong So I am out but I would rather be out that than work with this dump They have greedily keep the which they did not in ANY way rightfully earn nThey lied about their commitment to work with me The contract should have readWe will help you only if you spend much more than what was discussed on your event If not you are on your own And just so my fellow yelpers know I am so not a Bridezilla All I want is a great party But if you want to keep it simple the Plaza completely abandons you and just gives you four ugly banquet walls and food nOh BTW the whole place still stinks BADLY of cigarette smoke just like in days of yore Which is fitting Because they stink
