Wedding Date 23-08-2014
I had my wedding a few weeks ago at the Betty Reckas Cultural Center in Long Beach and used TGIS for our catering and event coordination. Jeremy Smith was an absolute JOY to work with!! He responded to emails super quick and was always flexible when scheduling appointments. The TGIS wait staff and bartenders were very professional and had a great attitude! TGIS allowed us to customize our menu and be as creative as possible. The food was delicious and all of our guests complimented on how they have never left a wedding stuffed. We had late night tacos served before our guests left and they were a hit! I worked with Jeremy to create a signature drink for the night and in the end, Amanda's Wild Berry Mojitos turned out great. The staff was soo accommodating and even saved hors d'oeuvres for us and the entire wedding party to eat before our grand entrance because we missed the cocktail hour to take pictures off site.\rWe had the event coordinator as our personal server for the night and he helped us with the cake cutting and champagne toast. I cannot explain how great it was to work with TGIS for our wedding. They made every effort to make sure our day went as smooth as possible. The venue is clean and well maintained and it made for a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Long Beach. TGIS has a passion for food and event coordinating that you can see from their professional attitude. I will definitely work with them again and again!

After the wedding, everyone complimented the food and dessert. They are very open to customizing food and drinks. The venue is very beautiful especially at night, because of the wedding. Big dance floors, good uplighting, great food, and highly recommended!

I loved the reception hall at the cultural center. So many places we visited had terribly tacky paint or carpet, but this was neutral and nice. The large windows allowed for beautiful lighting and the cocktail lounge was absolutely perfect. Plus, you get to work with TGIS catering (whom I adored!)\rWe did wind up taking pictures elsewhere though - the ceremony took place just outside the center in front of the church building, and while it was pretty, it wasn't green.

When my husband and I were looking at venues for a 200 person wedding, we were having a very hard time finding something that had everything we wanted. When we went to Betty Reckas we fell in love with the banquet room. It was by far the best room that we had seen on our hunt, classic and neutral colors to go with any wedding color scheme. The church next door makes a beautiful backdrop for an outdoor ceremony and the stone outdoor flooring adds to the setting. Everything is done through TGIS Catering, and they are amazing! Absolutely wonderful staff that took care of us and our guests at the wedding and our event coordinator that took care of us through the entire planning process. The food was delicious too! We got such great feedback from our guests about the food! I would use TGIS again in a heartbeat and would recommend Betty Reckas to anyone!
