We had our wedding at The Mitchell Park Domes and Greenhouse No 7.
Working with Candy and Olivia was amazing, Their emails were prompt, and they answered all of our questions, s...et up extra tastings for us, and walked us through everything.
The Domes and Greenhouse were absolutely beautiful, however, they do not have a kitchen onsite. Everything had to be brought in partially cooked and were sous vided onsite. We chose plated dinner service to avoid guest standing in line with food and it being cold by the time they got to their seats. That being said the meal was very inconsistent. I had some guest complain their salad had too much salad dressing or they didn't have any at all. same with the sauces on the meat. One of my bridesmaids( who worked in food service at the time) complained her chicken was raw in the middle. I had other complain their food was cold. The vegetables were not cooked all the way through. According to my guests the best part of the hors d'oeuvres/meal was the pasta bar. I was not able to try the pasta bar as we were taking pictures. As I understood, someone was suppose to be attending to us at this time, that did not happen. We had an hors d'oeuvres table, we paid extra to have that option, and half of my guests were not able to have because there wasn't enough. the ones that that were able to have some were not impressed, The grilled cheese on the tomato soup shooters were hard, the ceviche had too much lime juice or was made the day before as it was overpowering and not very fresh. The dessert display was beautiful. The Bartending service was amazing. We had purchased the Ritz package, which included a champagne toast for all guests, I know of at least 3 tables that did not receive this toast including my bridesmaids and grandparents tables. I was told that I was not able to take any leftover food except for the wedding cake. Zilli's ending up throwing the cut cake away. They did this without asking me or consulting me, I really wanted my leftover cake, I am still upset over this almost a year later. When I emailed Zilli about this later I was told that I didn't provide any boxes for the cake so it was thrown away, I was not informed that I needed to have boxes for the cake, and if someone asked me about it I would have figured something out. However, there was no communication with me whatsoever. We had made diagrams on how the site was to be set up. This was not followed when my late night snack showed up. We had made to go donuts, which were meant to be set up in the hallway so guest could have them as they were leaving. This is not where zilli set them up. They put them next to the DJ which blew the fuses on both the DJ, and the donut machine. the DJ had a back up generator, thank god, but the donuts didn't. The had to go back to get a new fuse, which resulted in 1/2 hour of donuts instead of 2 hrs, and most of guests missing out on it. The whole night seemed very disorganized. I understand that things happen but when weddings cost as much as they do, you expect to have those things be minimal. these things were not minimal. I was led to believe the Zilli group had worked the domes many times before, and my experience seemed to say the opposite.
TL;DR: Great space, very good bartenders, inconsistent hors oeuvres, and main meal, good pasta bar, threw away leftover wedding cake, blew fuses which led to very little late night snack.
