    We are deeply disappointed with our wedding experience at ************, especially with ***, the head of catering. During our initial walkthrough, *** assured us that St. Ives handles all major details, leaving us to only focus on vendors. However, several issues arose, undermining our confidence.One major issue was a missed tasting appointment, where *** was unprepared despite confirming the date via email. He attempted to shift the blame onto us until we showed him the confirmation. This led to a rushed, unsatisfactory tasting experience.Due to these concerns, we hired a day-of coordinator. When we brought her to meet ***, he initially dismissed us, claiming he had another appointment. When he finally joined us, his behavior was unprofessional, becoming agitated and confrontational over simple timeline adjustments.I also noticed a troubling pattern of behavior where my husband, who is white, received markedly different treatment from *** compared to myself and my African American family. Bobs demeanor changed drastically when interacting with us, leading to concerns about racial bias.On the day of our rehearsal, *** was completely absent. We had to chase him down, leading to a 30-minute delay in starting the rehearsal. His dismissive response further added to our stress.On our wedding ************** and the venue staff offered no support. Our bridal party had to handle tasks like folding napkins and readjusting chairs, causing a significant delay in the ceremony and leaving us without time for essential photos.We emailed *** the day before the wedding to express our frustrations, but his response offered no real apology. On the day of the wedding, **** only apology was, Im sorry if you had different expectations, which was wholly inadequate.
