While I loved Raffaldini's wine, view & atmosphere, the staff really was a huge dissapointment to me. I was stood up for 2 meetings with the event coordinator, and after speaking with her Friday morning before my rehearsal dinner at the vin...eyard, she said she would "see me tonight," though I never saw her my whole wedding weekend. Someone else filled in, making me feel uneasy, since I had worked with the other person for 9 months.
The event coordinator also assured me we had enough, too much even, alcohol and advised us to order LESS than we did - however we were out of beer by 9pm and only had 3 bottles of wine to spare, despite my best efforts to tell her my crowd would be drinking a good amount. I trusted her since she does this everyday, but this was yet another disappointment.
I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting married here - it is gorgeous, but the $4000 really only gets you the view (you have to rent everything from table cloths to wine glasses to seating to food, and the the staff does not help move chairs, set up ceremony chairs, etc) Honestly, the staff just wasn't as reliable as I inititally thought.
