Dear Drew and Rich:

John, my parents, and I just wanted to extend to you and your staff  our sincere thanks for our beautiful wedding reception.  From the first evening that we reserved Orlando's with Sylva a year ago, to our meetings and phone calls over the next few months with the two of you, to the tasting, and finally the reception itself, you were all a pleasure to work with.  You made this a very stress-free event!

We have gotten so many compliments from our guests and we agree that this is the best wedding reception we've ever been to (and not just because it was ours)!  The food was absolutely delicious (love that chicken spedini and cavatelli broccoli), the atmosphere so elegant, and every one of your staff members so friendly and helpful.  Sandy, the banquet manager, was great - she was patient with us when we arrived behind schedule, and then when we took awhile to get the wedding party sorted out to enter!  She emceed our numerous toasts wonderfully and kept everything moving ( I thing she was better than the DJ!) .  She and the staff also made sure that we got back all of the things we brought with us - cake knife, champagne glasses, votives and vases, etc.  Mike (Orlando) was also there and made sure that we were happy throughout the evening.

We had a great time and could not be happier with the way everything turned out.  I had never been to a reception at Orlando's before, but I hope I get the opportunity to in the future, because it is truly one of the best reception sites in St. Louis.  Thanks again for an outstanding job. 

Very Sincerely,
Aimee Musil (Merlo) 

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for the wonderful experience you provided us at our wedding reception.  Josh and I had an afternoon reception in the Venice Ballrooms and it was perfect!  I must tell you, normally I loathe buffets, but I was blown away!  The food was fabulous!  Josh said the beef and chicken were very flavorful.  I loved the potatoes and the pasta and the veggie combo and the salad ? basically everything I tasted!  However do you keep such large amounts of food so fresh?  I cannot even tell you how much I appreciate you putting out all my favors and candles ? at no charge!  I apologize that I don?t remember anyone?s name to thank them specifically, except Rich (but we have his business card).  He really helped us out with dropping off our favors the days before our wedding.  But everyone we dealt with was helpful, professional and friendly! Oh, back to the food.  Our buffet was much better than the meal we had one week prior at ______!  We also had several friends comment on the bartender.  They said he not only made good drinks, but tat he was very attentive and fast.  Our room manager was also great.  She kept and eye on me and informed me of everything I needed to know.  Afterwards, she had the cake table tidied up before I could even blink!  All of the servers too panache!  Not that you need them, but if anyone ever wants a reference ? we would highly recommend your facility to anyone!

Thanks again for wonderful memories of our wedding day.

Thank you to all involved with the Connors/Eldridge reception on Friday evening. It was a top-notch affair. The evening banquet manager was very attentive and couldn't have been more charming. Drew did a fabulous job helping us plan for the evening. The food was top quality. Our guests responded very favorably. We know we could not have had a finer reception anywhere else in St. Louis. The Orlando Gardens employees are #1!

Gratefully and Sincerely,
Mrs. Julie Conners - Mother of the Bride

P.S. The bartenders were awesome!!!

Dear Carol et al,

Thank you very much for the outstanding job you did on my daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception. We have had raving reviews about the service and delicious food and my 12 year old niece said she would like to have her reception there in the 'future'.

God bless all of you and keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Mr. And Mrs. Dave Soellner

Dear Drew,

I wanted to thank you for the super job you did for our 50th. We filled out the printed comment card, but wanted to say a few written words to you. You helped to make our Anniversary truly memorable and worry free, especially with your pleasant manner, your accommodating ways, and your aim to please. We received 'only raves' about the food, the room and you and your staff. We had a great time and we thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Pat and Frank Hellwig

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for making our 50th Anniversary celebration so Grand. Your staff Drew, Carol Bartender, Waitresses and the ambiance of the room brought many compliments from our guests. The food was excellent and credit must be given to the chefs and McArthur's Bakery.

Rest assured our word of mouth about the quality of Orlando's Banquet Center will be spread by Joe and Marian Struckhoff.

Thank You

Dear Michael,

We just wanted to drop you a quick note to express our thanks for all of your help at our son's wedding. Your presence as host helped make Fayton and Debbie's wedding reception wonderful. The entire staff was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate the many extras provided by Orlando's.

Thanks again for making the evening so memorable.

Sincerely,
Zoe and Steve Owen

Dear Mr. Orlando,

Most of the time you get letters of complaints, evenings didn't go right but let me tell you it is not often enough when you receive such a wonderful appreciation for employees you have and how luck you are. We had our wedding reception with you.  I cannot express enough the appreciation and gratefulness to all of your employees that made our night turn out so great without a problem, just many compliments on such a nice reception, organized and great food. You should be proud of having such wonderful employees. Thank you for making our wedding a wonderful experience, and believe me we had some real bumps along the way.

Sincerely,
Carolyn A. Baker (Coughlin)
