What a frustrating event with Pranzi. Extremely low class. Six years of being a professional wedding photographer and I have never been more disgusted by the food I was "served" (see pics) for $100 / person charged to the couple. That is my main concern - they are scammers who charged the couple way more than the $3 of food the vendors were actually served. I am so eager to tell the couple who hired us that they got sooo ripped off by the five vendor meals they paid for, but I don't want to ruin their lovely wedding day. Extremely disorganized staff and vendors were told six different times by six different people to come get food from the "buffet" (two 3/4 empty tin buckets covered with tinfoil with "vendor" written in sharpie, we had to walk into the crowded kitchen with people shouting to serve ourselves and had to beg for forks haha). My meal was rice. $100 a person is the cheapest option per plate, I repeat. For rice. That's $500 Pranzi scored to serve vendors rice and a few pieces of chicken that sat out for a while. Jesus. I would have asked the couple to NOT buy me a vendor meal and give me cash so I could order a filet minion from a real restaurant in Providence to the venue and eat that for dinner. I am absolutely a wedding snob as I've been to over 200 but oh my god Pranzi is so low class. Went to get a glass of house red wine at the open bar and they allowed a WEDDING GUEST buy me a glass of wine because they wanted to change me $18! Wow! And my assistant and I had to move the cake table to the center of the dance floor for cake cutting because no staff was anywhere to be found. I've worked at some really trashy venues and had that kind of thing happen but this was at a RI mansion, big bucks. They're on my "never work with" list. If you care about your vendors, your guests or your event, please don't hire!
PS to other wedding vendors out there... it's probably a good idea to be kind and accommodating to other vendors... so we refer you. My business page is #1 on Yelp on Boston and well... all my couples will know not to hire you. Just a thought! I've never reviewed another vendor before ... that bad. Good luck!
