Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over just hire Purslane. We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence. It’s no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was.Īll the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Machaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered (“Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.”) My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. Machaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn’t get to experience until the day itself. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. Machaela and Justin deserve special mention. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Machaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success.

The staff, especially Machaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York’s fine restaurants. Working with Purslane, and especially with Machaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event.
We'd absolutely work with Purslane again, and highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the area. They never tried to upsell us on adding more in fact, they were really honest about what things we could drop to keep costs low.īecause we had such a long engagement, we did end up having a few different point-people over the span of a year-which also meant that some details had to be explained a few times to a few different people (mostly related to rentals) but ultimately we were taken care of and our wedding went off without a hitch. We also really appreciated how helpful they were when it came to coming up with something that worked with our budget. (No Yellowtail :) The fact that they're zero-waste was a great perk, too. For wine snobs out there, they had sourced wines that are actually really cool and legit good. We had a lot of guests with various dietary restrictions and they made it so easy to tweak the menu and come up with something that everyone could enjoy. I felt duped and I wasn’t happy with the show.The food was DELICIOUS and honestly for catered food was way better than it needed to be. It should’ve been called Katt Williams and friends. The worst part was that out of the 7 acts, only 2 were funny. I can tell myself and much of the audience was waiting on Katt to do his set but as time went on it was apparent he was playing host to the other comics.
Mark Curry was the final act and that was a bad decision because it just wasn’t the best act of the show. Tony Roberts and Tommy Davidson were the funniest one. He joke for about 10 minutes and then start presenting all of these unknown comedians. Then Katt Williams come out and I thought he was going to do his 45 minute or hour set.
I wasn’t tripping because I thought they were opening acts. So bottom line, I thought I bought tickets to see Katt Williams perform and instead we got a line up of a bunch of up and coming comedians and maybe 2-3 known names.
