点评:We held our daughter's wedding at this venue. For the most part everything went smoothly. Our event coordinator, Lerica, was professional, easy to work with and very responsive to our questions and concerns. The staff member assigned to the bride and groom for the evening, Jaelynn, was absolutely incredible and anticipated their every need. There were, however, some menu glitches. The bride and groom are both gluten free and the bride is vegan so they ordered some items at cocktail hour to be gluten free and vegan. The biggest disappointment was vegan polenta bites -- which City Winery's kitchen made with cheese ... so the bride could not eat them. They were one of the few vegan items she would have been able to eat. She was also told that the vegetarian option for dinner would be asparagus/fava bean risotto -- information we shared with many guests who are vegetarian or vegan -- and it was zucchini risotto. Zucchini is not the bride's favorite vegetable. I'm not sure if it's anyone's favorite vegetable. These complaints do not sound like a big deal until you see the prices of the food for an event. For the prices they charge, all food should have been exactly as ordered.
Also, the bride and her bridesmaids stayed at the venue's overnight apartment called The Nest. Everything there was fantastic. But we thought it was quite odd that City Winery's management could not recommend a local establishment to deliver coffee or breakfast sandwiches to the girls for breakfast the day of the wedding. We understand that City Winery's kitchen does not offer food until lunch time, but they could not even suggest a local place. We did find a great little coffee shop called Java Blue on Union Street in Montgomery, but we needed to pick up because they do not deliver.
翻译:我们在这里为女儿举办了婚礼。大部分环节都进行得很顺利。我们的活动协调员Lerica专业且易沟通,对我们提出的疑问和顾虑也回应及时。当晚负责照顾新人的工作人员Jaelynn表现得极其出色,她总能提前察觉到新人的各种需求。不过,菜单方面出现了一些小问题。新郎和新娘都不吃含麸质的食物,而新娘还是纯素食主义者,因此他们在鸡尾酒会期间特意点了些无麸质且纯素的食品。最令他们失望的是那些纯素玉米糊小点心——City Winery的厨房在制作时加入了奶酪……结果新娘根本吃不了。那些点心原本是为数不多她可以食用的纯素食品啊。她还被告知,晚餐的素食选项是芦笋/蚕豆烩饭——这一信息我们也告知了许多素食者或纯素食者客人——但实际上的菜品却是西葫芦烩饭。西葫芦并非新娘最喜欢的蔬菜。我甚至不确定有没有人会特别喜欢西葫芦。这些抱怨听起来似乎没什么大不了,直到你看到举办活动时食物的定价。以他们收取的价格来说,所有食物都理应完全符合点餐要求。
另外,新娘和她的伴娘们住在场馆内名为“The Nest”的公寓里。那里的一切都棒极了。不过让我们觉得挺奇怪的是,City Winery的管理层居然无法推荐一家当地的店铺,在婚礼当天为姑娘们提供咖啡或早餐三明治。我们明白City Winery的厨房要到中午才提供餐食,但他们连一家 nearby的店都推荐不了。我们确实在蒙哥马利的联合街上找到了一家很不错的小咖啡馆,名叫Java Blue,但由于他们不提供送货服务,我们只好亲自去店里购买。
