We recently had a wedding hosted by the Fairlane Club. It was an abject, unmitigated disaster. The power went out the day before the event. A DTE issue. Not an act of god , (like a hurricane or lightning strike). At least 28 hours before the event would have been more than ample time for a well-heeled and professional business to have a working generator (the generator at the FC was not working the day of the power outage) in place so that an event planned more than a year in advance would have been able to occur. The secondary venue (6hrs before guests were to arrive) was able to happen because the mother of the groom knew someone that was a personal friend of the owner of Andiamos. Andiamos did an amazing job of setting up a reception for 125 within 6 hours.. beware of a venue that does not have a viable plan to deal with something that would have been a minor issue (no power) if they had had a working generator.
6 hours before our guests were to arrive, the FC planner suggested we have the event outside, no canopies, in 85 degree heat. The food suggested was sides from Kroger and fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy!!!
Unbelievable. Unacceptable.
When planning your event, ask for contingency plans so that you don t have to go tell your bride or groom that you don t have a place to celebrate.
