My husband and I are beyond grateful for everything the team did—both on our wedding day and in the weeks leading up to it. When you're planning a wedding, everyone tells you to ex...
pect that something will go wrong. But, I can honestly say that nothing went wrong.
Jessica and the entire day-of team were absolutely incredible. She handled every detail seamlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. I didn’t have a single moment of stress—any issue that came up was immediately taken care of by Jessica and her team.
We truly feel so lucky to have found Fab Weddings @ Royal Cliff and are so thankful we trusted the company with our big day. It was perfect, and we owe so much of that to all of them.
and p.s the food was so good. People are still talking to us about it ☺️

u. Very, very frustrating to say the least. And having our names mixed up during the actual ceremony!!! Are you serious!? And after working with these people for almost a year was a slap in the face and horribly embarrassing. I'm Glad we only get married once hopefully so we don't have to experience that embarrassment again. Unfortunately we have to live with the memories of it forever. I suggest you wear name tags if your both men or both women and decide to use this venue.
Response from Royal Cliff on 07/10/2025
Dear Mr and Mr Romero,
I just read your reviews on the Knot and Wedding wire.
I want to ...
begin by saying how truly sorry I am that parts of your wedding experience left you feeling hurt and frustrated. That is never the impression we hope to leave on any of our couples—especially not on such a meaningful day.
Regarding the mix-up during the ceremony, I take full responsibility for that moment: extending the microphone to Joey when it was Nick's turn to speak. It was unintentional, I was very nervous, and I deeply regret the impact it had. Your names and your love story deserved to be honored perfectly. I'm sincerely sorry for the error.
To address the statement that you were introduced as “Mr. & Mrs.” during the ceremony or reception. With utmost respect, I introduced you and Mr and Mr Romero. Also your DJ was aware you are both grooms, as was everyone involved in the planning process. He did have one slip of the tongue once, though he corrected himself instantly. Still, it was a mistake, and again I apologize. We work with many same-sex couples and are very conscious of using correct, inclusive language.
I also want to acknowledge the disconnect between the heartfelt note of gratitude you sent right after the wedding and the feelings expressed in this review. I understand emotions can evolve as the dust settles, and I’m genuinely sorry your final impression was not a positive one.
While I cannot undo the moment, I hope you know that your love, your wedding, and your place here were celebrated with sincerity and care. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together—and we’re grateful you chose to celebrate your day with us.
Warm regards,
George

Words cannot express how truly grateful we are for Fab Weddings! We booked our wedding for September 26, 2020 right before the COVID quarantine went into effect. George and the Fab...
Weddings team made sure to keep us updated throughout the whole process, which provided a lot of comfort during a very uncertain time. Thankfully, we were still able to have our day as planned (with masks and a few other safety precautions in place)!
George helped us so much along the way with the planning process, always being available to answer our questions. He keeps in mind the little, yet important things, for example: he helped us to practice our first dance, so we felt comfortable when all eyes were on us. The services that were provided through Fab Weddings made the planning process so much easier!
Catering – the food was provided through Brianno’s Deli, which was delicious! I love pasta, and the pasta bar was above and beyond what we could have asked! We were also able to have pizza served a little later in the evening, which our guests went crazy for! My only regret is that I did not eat more!
DJ – through Fab Weddings we were provided a DJ, one less thing we had to worry about finding. DJ Johnny made the music process so much fun! He gave us a playlist worksheet so we could list the songs that we wanted played for various parts of the evening – from cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance! Wedding dances are my absolute favorite, and DJ Johnny did not disappoint. He did a great job reading the crowd, playing all our favorite songs, and adding additional songs to the list that the crowd loved! The lighting system and fog machines added a whole other layer to the night that our guests really enjoyed!
Day of Coordinator – Jana went above and beyond to make sure that our reception looked exactly how we wanted it. The fact that we did not have to worry about setting up or tearing down the reception hall was a huge stress relief! It allowed us to focus our attention on each other and our loved ones instead of having to worry about decorating. Jana made sure to listen to all our requests and set everything up exactly how we asked. She was also super flexible and rolled with the flow when we had to make a few last-minute changes to our seating chart. Jana helped to keep our evening running smoothly, adjusting our schedule as needed to make sure that we were able to enjoy the whole night.
You would think that with all these great amenities and services that a reception through Fab Weddings would be crazy expensive, but it was super affordable, which was another huge plus!
We cannot thank the Fab Weddings team enough for everything that they did for us on our big day. They all strived to make our day perfect, and they far exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Fab Weddings venues and their services to anyone who is starting out on their wedding planning journey!

Our wedding night was literally perfect. George and his team are amazing, and we could not recommend them more. George was amazing from the start. He knows exactly what he is doing...
, and he was there every step of the way. He was willing to do whatever it took for us to have an amazing night. He truly cares about his couples and wants them to have a stress free, fantastic night. When Covid hit, George was very good at letting us know what was going on, and he was very flexible about moving our date with no charge. Despite the new rules, it was still the magical night I always imagined.
Jana was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing as well. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything the entire night. If she saw us or our parents without a drink, she made sure to ask if we needed anything. She even jokingly reprimanded me when I tried helping clean up at the end of the night.
We had SO many compliments on the food and the GEORGOUS venue. George took advantage of the pandemic lockdown and people postponing their weddings in order to make a beautiful venue 10X more beautiful. The up lights, dance lights and the dry ice fog were amazing. The price George charges is definitely a steal for how beautiful the venue is and the quality of service you get.

Our wedding at Royal Cliff far exceeded our expectations!!!
When we first decided on Royal Cliff, we picked it solely because it could host our large wedding guest list without b...
reaking the bank. However, the work that has been done to the venue in the past few months made it both functional and absolutely beautiful! The amount of compliments that we got on the beauty of the venue itself was amazing. Royal Cliff was the perfect space for a stunning wedding. We had many wedding guests that had been to Royal Cliff prior to all of the renovations, we heard multiple times throughout the night "I cannot believe this is the same place, it is so beautiful".
Furthermore, we can't say enough good things about the staff at Fab Weddings and Royal Cliff. People often ask us how we planned such a wonderful wedding in only seven months and our answer is always the same, it was because of George and the rest of the Fab Weddings/Royal Cliff staff. From our first planning meeting, to the final song at our reception, everyone made the entire planning process and the entire night so easy and enjoyable for us. The night of the wedding was TRULY stress free because of George, Jana, our incredible DJ and photographer (both provided by Fab Weddings), and the rest of the amazing staff! Furthermore, we heard from many guests that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had!
We could go on and on about how much we love Royal Cliff! We could not recommend it more to any couple that wants a beautiful, stress-free wedding and planning process.

I was really surprised by our experience because there are some good reviews on here. I called Royal Cliff to get in contact with Brian, who I was told handles weddings and events ...
at Royal Cliff. I called when they said he would be in, but he wasn't. It took about 3 weeks just to get in contact with Brian. I left my name and number and he did reach out once but I missed the call. It was another week and half before I was able to get back in contact with him. When I finally spoke to Brian, I told him I was interested in setting up a time to tour the venue because I am a bride and told him my wedding date. He said he had a wedding on Saturday and could show me the venue then. I apologized and told him that I had to work, but asked if another day or time would be available. He stated that he was 60 years old and tired of accommodating brides whenever they would like to see the venue. I asked if he could just give me a time that would work for him and we could try to accommodate it. He said we could meet on Tuesday at 6:00 pm. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I went to Royal Cliff tonight, Tuesday. I was 10 minutes early even and the doors were locked. I went into Brionnos deli and they said Brian had left for the day. I would not recommend anyone use Royal Cliff, because Brian was hard to get in touch with, was very rude, and forgot about our appointment. Thank goodness I found all of this out at the beginning.

We would absolutely recommend Royal Cliff to anyone for any event!
Though our evening flew by, everything went smoothly... So smoothly, everything appeared and happened on time!...
We had no worries all night.
Before our wedding, Royal Cliff was accommodating, quick to answer all our questions and flexible with allowing us to stop in. Their expertise was appreciated and so helpful. They worked to accommodate any special request we had.
The food was Amazing! We had their signature Chicken in White Wine Sauce, Mosticolli with Meatballs, baby reds, green beans! It was all excellently prepared! All our guest raved about the food! One piece of advice for the bride, groom and wedding party - take a decent portion your first time through the line. I thought I would have a chance to get seconds but time flies.
We had late night pizzas which was delicious.
A blast was had by all our guest!
We would recommend Royal Cliff - hands down!
Thank you for making our day perfect!

et service dinner. We have heard nothing but GREAT responses about the food. Brianno's is the attached small Italian deli that makes all the food and the food is OUTSTANDING!! The room is simple and open with no pillars or things to obstruct any views. The dance floor was spacious and they work very hard to make sure no seating tables are placed on it that need to be removed. There was beyond ample space between all the tables. There was a large coat room, and lots of parking available. They are very willing to work with you and with what you need!! HIGHLY recommend using them!!

You are the only event there that night. They are willing to work with you on anything and everything.
Tracy, the wedding coordinatior there understands it's YOUR day and whatever she can do to simply they will try and do.
I was afraid of hearing horror stories here and there about weddings, but I never experienced one.

The service for the dinner was so good. I mean I tried to watch the staff serving our guests and they were quick and polite. Overall the night was amazing!
