User2158247 Sent on 06/01/2015We just had our wedding at The Colonnade this past weekend, and Paul did our florals. I knew they would be gorgeous, and they exceeded my expectations. Both the bouquets and the floral arrangements on the tables were perfect and gorgeous. I would highly recommend both the venue and the floral to anyone in the future. I knew that everything would be beautiful and that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing, and that's exactly what happened. We were so pleased (and I'm a very picky person!). If you are considering Posh Life Florals or The Colonnade, look no further. This is coming from a person who is very particular about everything and drives her then-fiance, now-husband crazy with all of the little details! :D -

Ellen Sent on 05/10/2012PERFECTION! It was an absolute pleasure working with Josh and Paul from designing the flow of the day to the menu and floral arrangements! Yes, you are reading correctly, they DO IT ALL! It feels like you have your own wedding planner :-) The day mansion is immacualte and comfortable, the bridal suite was incredible, service was out of this world! Everything went just as I had in my dreams from the first sit down meeting to breakfast in bed as a Mrs! Your guests will rave about this place and you will be very pleased. -
User2827027 Sent on 10/21/2016Our ceremony and reception were held at the colonnade and everything was fantastic. The owners were very accommodating and as a bonus, they are full service, so we just dropped off decorations we wanted and set everything up. They have packages which can accommodate different price points but they are more than willing to do anything you want and try to accommodate any budget. The day of the wedding one of the owners was on staff along with their manager and staff which were all very professional. The food was delicious, the staff very efficient, and the space is so beautiful minimum decorating is required. They offer a floral service in house as well and they were completely beautiful from my centerpieces to my bouquets. I highly recommend this venue for any couple looking for a reception space. -
User1996557 Sent on 01/04/2015First off, we had 130 people at this venue. They advertise to have a max of 200. Please do not believe this. They say max 120 in the dining area, this is also not true. If you are to consider this for a wedding your guest list should be less than 100. 80 or less would probably fit best.
Next, Josh (one of the owners and wedding planners) is a yes man. He will tell you he will do this and that, and you will think he is on the same page as you. However, I found this to be the farthest from the truth. From our tasting to the day of, there were details missing. Maybe it was just a busy time, maybe they had too many bookings between their other venue and this one, but either way, my wishes were not followed through with. For example- the tent was not decorated with the decorations that I left. There were no high top tables as agreed on and he charged $250 for a "dance floor" that could literally fit two couples. Don't purchase this. Just use the cement floor that is available.
On the day of the wedding reception, Josh was no where to be found, even though I was told he would be there. There was a house assistant, but she had no itinerary for the day and was constantly asking me questions throughout the night on when to do what. It was ridiculous because this was previously decided and planned weeks beforehand. If Josh wasn't going to be there, he should have passed on this information to her.
In the end, things happened out of order and in the wrong spot. We didn't get an official cake cutt -
User2102663 Sent on 04/20/2015Great venue; not to great service.
They don't return phone calls or emails. Didn't listen to me about what I wanted. I went over things with them 5 times yet they still screwed things up. My flowers were horrid - I sent a picture of exactly what I wanted - it was half what I wanted.
On the positive side, it's a beautiful venue and exclusive. My wedding was beautiful. It's also great for a small wedding. -
User2065858 Sent on 03/13/2015I recently got married at The Colonnade this past January. Everything - from booking the rooms to the communication to the flowers & decorations was overall, poorly handled. Such a letdown in every way!
The morning of my wedding, we had booked all three rooms (in advance) for the bridesmaids, groomsmen & a honeymoon suite for that night. Not only were there guests in one of the rooms until noon, but Josh claimed we hadn't booked them at all; yet we were charged for it. That night, after the wedding, my husband & I were looking forward to going upstairs to settle in the honeymoon suite I'd put my stuff in earlier that day. When we got upstairs, our things were perched upon a bench outside of the room & the door was locked. The only two rooms available were filled with my bridesmaid's & groomsmen's things. So instead of immediately relaxing, we helped our guests pack up their items. The wedding ended at around 10. We didn't settle in until about 11:15; & that was after my husband ran downstairs to check with Josh & Paul that we could stay there for the night. What a wreck!
That afternoon, when I finally arrived, Josh ignored my presence & didn't say a word to me until hours later when the wedding was half-way through; snapping pictures of me like he was a good host. He wasn't. The caterer we hired - from New York - literally kept the energy going throughout the night, as well as coordinating with the band & making sure I was okay at all times. He was way more than a caterer, he was my personal assistant, my friend & my wedding planner for that day!
My bouquet was full of wilting flowers, tied in a ribbon I told him I specifically didn't want the week before the wedding. As for the decor, the aisle wasn't as I pictured it to be at all. The flowers I wanted weren't a huge part of either the ceremony or reception. The tables were set in a pretty way, but were not designed the way Paul had initially showed me. I wish I hadn't had my Big Day at The Colonnade.
