My husband and I stayed at The Buttes the weekend he proposed back in April of 2011. There was a wedding going on that weekend and we both thought how great it would be to get mar...ried there. Several months later, after we starting putting our wedding budget together, we just assumed The Buttes would be way out of our price range because of how lavish the resort was, so we didn’t immediately consider them for our venue. About 5 months before our wedding, the venue we thought we were going to use was not working well with us on the hotel room rate for our out of town guests, so we went back to square one and started looking again. Obviously I was very frustrated at this point, which my husband could see, so he picked up the phone and called The Buttes. During that initial phone call, he found out that our date was available and they confirmed a much lower room rate for our guests. Knowing that, we immediately set up an appointment to meet with Sloane. During our meeting with her, not only did she match, and in some cases beat, the prices from the other venue, she exceeded the quality and quantity of what they were offering. She made everything so easy to understand, and was also very comforting and assuring about what they could do for our wedding. From that moment until our wedding day, she was always available whenever we needed something. Some of my family members had issues getting their rooms booked, and she said “just direct them straight to me and I will take care of it”. Which she did. At this point Sloane was more like a family friend rather than our wedding coordinator!
Come wedding day, April 6th 2012, everything was perfect. The trees and flowers at the pool ceremony location were beautifully in bloom just as Sloane had promised. She did an amazing job orchestrating the moments leading up to the ceremony, which can be difficult when you’re dealing with a large wedding party like ours! Everyone was where they needed to be at the right times, and in my eyes all was calm and smooth. For the reception, the hall was beautiful. It was everything I had told Sloane I wanted, and more. But most importantly, the food was outstanding. We received so many comments from our guests that night, and several months after, on how pleased they were with the meal. I would say that is one of the things that was most remembered by our guests. We chose to do a buffet, and because we were getting married on Good Friday, the chef really worked with us to come up with wonderful selections that would cater to everyone.
All said and done, based on how great our experience was with The Buttes, I would highly recommend choosing them for your wedding venue. Sloane and her team really went above and beyond to make our day special and memorable.
