Lauren WIlson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2021 Orlando’s was such a breeze to work with! Laurie, Mike, and Jordan all helped me during the planning and setup process, and they were all wonderful! They were super patient and flexible as we rescheduled multiple times due to Covid and all of the restrictions. The ballroom was beautiful, they offered an incredible menu that our guests raved about, and the staff was helpful, courteous, and friendly. From tours to questions to linen selection and setup, everything was handled quickly and professionally. I cannot say enough good things, and would love to host future events with them as well!

Katherine Stoverink(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2015 We couldn't have asked for a better venue! The location on Dorsett has been beautifully remodeled, the common area rivaling the lobby of a posh hotel. The food was delicious. We chose the chicken spedini and the ham. Our staff the night of the event was very professional. Laurie Orlando and Maryellen are wonderful to work with. I felt Laurie was part of the family, helping us to plan our big day. Beautiful venue, delicious food, excellent service, all at an affordable price. I highly recommend Orlando's for your reception needs! Reviewed on 25-10-2015
Melissa Frandsen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2015 I had always heard great things about Orlando's when I was younger, so of course I looked into using them for our reception! When I wrote Laurie about pricing, she was very helpful and let me know that their South County location was a bit cheaper compared to their Maryland Heights location. I couldn't believe the price for the Deluxe menu package and all of the things that came with it! We knew right then that we wanted to have our reception there! Our wedding was on September 5th, 2015, and we had our reception in the David ballroom at the south county location. We had originally accounted for a guest list of 200, but 174 ended up being our final head count.\r\rI worked with Laurie Orlando and Jim Helton. Both were super helpful along the entire process! We booked our reception over a year in advance, and Laurie answered every single one of my e-mails and questions within a day. She was always super nice and helpful, and trust me, I asked a ton of questions! \r\rYou meet 2 weeks before your event to go over last minute details, pick out your upgrades, and make your final payment. We got 3 upgrades with the deluxe package, and we chose to upgrade to the call brand bar, passed hors d'oeuvres, and the pretzel bites as a late night snack. \r\rThe food was unbelievable! Every one of our guests kept saying how great the food was! We had the prime rib, chicken spedini, roasted veggies, potatoes au gratin, and a pasta in red sauce. All was super good, and I wish I had gotten to eat more of it!! \r\rOur guests kept telling us how great our reception was, and it really did turn out great! We were able to come in on the Thursday before our reception (on Saturday) to set up our escort cards, place cards, and centerpieces. It was really nice to be able to go in early and set everything up ourselves. They were always accommodating with any requests we had! From the beginning to the end, Orlandos was the perfect choice for our reception, and we will definitely be back to hold another event here in the future!!\r\rThank you, Orlandos! You beyond exceeded our expectations! :) Reviewed on 24-10-2015

Our original reception venue closed before our wedding date, so we had to find somewhere new to go. The employees at Orlando's were VERY accommodating; they met our needs and helped to get everything organized. They even provided us with upgrades wherever possible. We were the only event scheduled for the weekend, so they upgraded us to the largest room for free so that we would have more room for our guests. The services before, during, and after the reception surpassed our expectations. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the food was delicious. All of our guests had a wonderful time, and we HIGHLY recommend Orlando's for any event. Reviewed on 11-06-2015
Kristen w(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-05-2015 Orlando's was the perfect choice for our reception location. We had a very small number of guests (well under 100) and they definitely were able to cater to that. The reception hall was set up beautifully and I can't say enough good things about the staff. Every single person who works there is incredibly nice and personable. The entire process from sitting down initially through the end of the reception, they were amazing. They made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen that day and even created a diagram for how the room would be set up. \rOrlando's also provides you with some free upgrades with any bridal package you choose. You get an incredible amount for your money with Orlando's (including your wedding cake). They were affordable and very accommodating. My husband and I were very happy with everything. \r\rWe used the location on Hoffmeister Ave. Reviewed on 05-05-2015
Jennifer Kappler(guest)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-04-2015 We had considered Orlando's for our wedding reception, but did not end up choosing it. We were excited though to be invited to a friend's wedding recently here and see what were missing out on. After attending as a guest, I feel good about my decision not to hold our reception here. The staff was very professional, but certainly not the warm and fuzzy type. Very matter of fact and no smiles out of anyone. \r\rThe breaded chicken served was wet, chewy and I suspect, undercooked. Completely inedible. When someone at my table pointed out the chicken was not done, the host from the venue brought the chef to the table and he did not offer anything except to tell us the temperature it was measured at. Luckily, there were other food options served. \r\rMake sure if using this venue for a ceremony and reception in different rooms, that the staff will have the reception room ready when the ceremony is over. We spent a lot of time out in the hallway. I don't think there were any other events going on, but can not imagine there being room for everyone out there if there had been. \r\rI'm also not a fan of a tip jar a the bar. Gratuity should be included in the cost for the service. \r\rOn the plus side, this venue offers a lot of décor options in house and can provide a cake through one of their vendors. It's also very reasonably priced which is why we had considered it in the first place. Reviewed on 16-03-2015
Tiffany Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2014 After getting my first venue cancelled two weeks before my wedding (gulp), Orlando's event centers stepped right in and made our wedding dreams come true! Jim was awesome to work with and made sure that every aspect of our reception was replicated to the last detail! We were able to book the venue at the last moment and weren't over charged or given outrageous plating prices.

They accommodated our requests and were very affordable...we did not want to have a wedding the broke the bank, and at Orlando's you do not have to. However, for what we paid, we got a beautiful ballroom to accomodate our 175 guests, and a few days before moved us into a nicer, bigger room because it was going to be unoccupied the night of our wedding. \r\rThe food was great! The private tasting was a great way for us to check out the food, and it was delicious. It was much better than what I would have expected for wedding food. Top notch.\r\rLaurie Orlando was the best at getting back to us with any of our questions, and always had a cheery thing to say in her emails. I could not recommend Orlando's any more highly.

Chelsea Switzer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2013 I am sure everyone at Orlando's is great because our event went so well and the food was amazing - BUT I worked directly with Denise and she, to me, is what made them exceptional. I am a very anxious person, especially when I'm doing something I've never done and she was so good to me. I didn't want to overwhelm her with silly questions and she made me feel like nothing I asked was silly and that no matter what she will be there to answer anything and be there to make the event go perfect. To me, that is what happened. I adore her as a person and a professional and I can't thank her enough for her help. She certainly represents Orlando's well. \r\rIn regards to the food and the service the day of - to me it was seamless and delicious. Everyone LOVED the grilled cheese and the quiche. I, unfortunately didn't get to enjoy it as much because I was too anxious to eat, but what I did have was very good.\r\rOh and I have to add, Denise made sure to put away some cake for us so we could have it for later.

Shauna Watson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-03-2013 We booked our room sight unseen due to them reopening the Dorsett location after remodeling and we are very happy that we took that chance because everything was beautiful. The staff were great, our day of coordinator \"Chip\" was very helpful and we were please with just about everything. The three things that I was not very happy about with our experience is that we are not allowed to bring in our own chair covers or order them from another vendor. The vendor that they use is overpriced (we paid $600 for 150 guest). We had been making payments on our reception hall and at the finalization meeting we were told to pay $1800 more than we needed to pay. We paid it but were really upset because that blew our budget out of the ball park and we couldn't figure out how we could have miscalculated.She didn't really offer any explaination and just said that we needed to pay..since it was 2 weeks before the wedding we really didn't have any other options. I felt that she was rather cold throughout the entire experience until that day before our wedding. A few days later, the manager emailed us informing us of a computer error and offered to refund our over payment. We were relieved about that but the extra stress 2 weeks before your wedding really does not help. The final thing we didn't like was that there was not any wifi..or at least no one knew the passcode to get into the wifi and our dj needed to use it, so we had to hurry up and use a backup plan for our playlist.

My aunt, uncle, and cousins were scrambling to put them out because they were still sitting in a box when they got there! And they had no idea who had which date, so no one was sitting next to the person they should have been! Then the kids never got their kids meals. I had 6 between the ages of 2-12 and none of them wanted vegatable sambucca or chicken spedini. I believe they ate rolls. There were these 2 naked statues on the bar that I paid to be removed because I didn't like them. Well, they were not removed. We did get reimbursed for the statues and kids meals though.

Only bad thing to say is that she messed up on my table clothes but she made it up for it like a champ. So she was one of my favorites. 11 per person Reviewed on 15-06-2011
Sarah Cleaves(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2011 I worked with Tommy, he was so helpful and supportive. He answered all my phone calls and emails very quickly. He was there to calm me down when i needed it. I would gladly have another event here again! Everything was done to the T the way that I wanted it! Reviewed on 09-06-2011
Jennifer Seely(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2011 Wow, wow, wow is all I can say. The food was spectacular and Maryellen was great at accomodating our various dietary requests. The servers were wonderful and kept the food replenished and hot at all times. The greatest part was that we got to keep the leftovers so were able to have additional food for our out of town guests the rest of the weekend. Reviewed on 04-04-2011
Nicole Hearn(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2010 We had our recepetion at the Watson location, and Drew was the biggest help! He assisted us with everything down to what time we were going to cut our cake. The only problem we had was at the Wedding Party table at our reception, there were no seats for our ushers. We had gone over this a couple of times, and when we got there we didn't know there were no seats until after we had walked in and sat down. They had put our favors out for us, and had set up our \"guest book\" which was actually a picture frame where people could sign! We didn't have to worry about setting anything up, they did it all for us, which was a huge help! The room itslef looked amazing, and the dance floor was just the right size. The bartenders were very friendly and remembered what people were drinking, they even let us bring in some additional ingredients to make special drinks! We had an amazing reception, and I don't think it would have turned out as well as it did if we had gone someplace else. I would definitely use them again! Reviewed on 03-12-2010
Stephanie Allen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2010 Maryellen from Catering by Georgianna was wonderful to work with. She helped us craft the perfect menu for our guests and provided many opportunities for us to taste different items from the menu. I was floored to find a reasonable caterer in St. Louis. We ended up paying about $8.00/person for a very hearty, delicious meal. The service was excellent and we received so many compliments on our food. Reviewed on 02-12-2010
Carrie Lee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2010 I had my reception at their Watson Rd location and everything was wonderful. The food was great and the room was setup very elegantly. We had the larger room and my favorite part is where they put our cake. It was in a little alcove behind us and it had a candilier above it, it was so beautiful. Mike Orlando worked with us and everyone was friendly and helpful. They gave us such piece of mind on everything. I am so glad I went with them. Reviewed on 16-11-2010
Rachel Whiting(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2010 They did a wonderful job helping me and my husband feel comfortable during the receiption. The only problem was that they let wedding crashers in. There were two other weddings going on at the same time as ours, which was fine, except when one of the weddings finished before ours other guest felt it was ok to come into ours.

Tegan Milford(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2010 Our reception was at Orlando Gardens and we were very pleased. We had about 225 guests, so we needed a large space. I think the food and service was worth the money we spent. My colors were black and ivory, and they actually had black tablecloths and ivory napkins that we were able to use for free. The food was delicious! I have been to other events at OG and the food wasn't as good. I was happy that our money was well spent. One thing that could have been improved was the bar situation. It was a few dollars more a person to have the higher end bar. About half of our guests don't drink alcohol, and they weren't willing to strike a deal with us. Oh well- no one seemed unhappy about the bar! Their service was terrific, and they listened to our requests. I was very happy and so was my husband. :) Reviewed on 12-10-2010

Julia Balseiro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2010 I cannot rave about them enough! 2 weeks before my wedding reception, we figured out that wehad signed a contract for 50 more guests than would actually be attending. I contacted the Orlando's office, and within 24 hours, we had a new contract written up for a smaller ballroom so we wouldn't be overpaying by 50 people. The service here is simply beyond compare! The staff is super attentive and constantly work to make your evening as perfect as possible. The food is fantastic (I recommend the chicken asiago!) and you just can't beat the cost. Especially since they take care of everything for you. I highly recommend them!! Reviewed on 04-08-2010
Shannon Wolff(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-07-2009 I had a great time at Orlando's. The gal who was in charge of my wedding did a very good job. They did everything I asked for and it was all done on time. The only problem that I really had was some of the food. All of the food was very good however some of the food that was in our buffet was not what we chose to have. And it was kind of a big mistake. We were supposed to have the long green beans but instead we got the green beans with nuts and my mom is allergic to nuts. We told the lady in charge of our wedding several times that we could not have nuts in the food and there is was when I went through. But other than that, they did a great job and were very accommodating. Reviewed on 29-06-2010
Tarrah Manuel-Wiley(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2008 Orlando's is not the fairy tale you may have dreamed, but if you are on a budget and want open bar and your cake included then you get a darn good deal here. While the food is mediocre and the carpet is heinous, the staff is professional, friendly and fun. Even though your soon-to-be-hubby may not understand why you need chair covers...get them, it’s worth every penny. The chairs are not pretty. Reviewed on 28-06-2010
