Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Allen

with any other hotel. I started working with the hotel representative a few months before my wedding, and made my way out to the hotel to see the actual room she was offering us. It's called the McKinney room, and it barely seats 50 people. She was worried about space - we were having about 60 people plus an outside caterer - and offered us the adjacent Plano room for the caterer to work out of. That way, we'd have enough room for a dance floor and seating in the main McKinney room. I signed a contract on that day, under the impression that we would have both rooms. Two weeks before the wedding, I get a phone call from the hotel representative stating that another group has contracted for the Plano room, and we will no longer be able to use it. You can imagine how surprised I was, and even after asking her where in the world the caterer was supposed to work, she said that she couldn't really do anything about it. I sent her a long, probably angry email detailing the contract that she had me sign and how she promised we would have the Plano room. It took me, my fiance, my mother, and my father-in-law emailing her for her to start finding us another room. One week from the wedding, she found us the Dallas room, which is fifty yards from the McKinney room, for the caterer to setup in and work out of. Due to the time constraints, there was no possible way of finding another hotel or venue to work with, so we had to stick with this crazy hotel. On the day of, everything was lovely. There was a dance floor, chair covers, tablecloths, etc. I hate to say that this was the worst experience I've had with a vendor, but it truly is. I was worried up until the day-of that something would go wrong, because really, what hadn't gone wrong with this hotel? I would stay far, far away from this vendor. But if you really want to work with them, know this: if you're not renting the grand ballroom, you're going to get shafted, and it might end up ruining your first day as husband and wife.
