We had so much fun working with them, and I couldn't be more grateful for their help in truly making it a perfect day! I have learned as a bride how critical it is for you to feel comfortable working with the vendors you choose, and I couldn't have asked for two better wedding coordinators.The National Alliance on Mental Illness Northern Kentucky (NAMI NKY) Board of Directors will host an Open House March 30 for NKY residents interested in mental health care issues. They helped us coordinate a late night snack with Dixie Chili, and they set us up for the after party at the Gangsters piano bar, which happens to be directly connected to the venue. So many of our guests came up to us and told us how fun of a wedding it was and how much they loved the venue. The night of our reception was an absolute blast, and the staff did a fantastic job! They work to keep your reception moving so you as a bride and groom get to enjoy the night, and they are all extremely friendly while doing so! I didn't worry about a single thing once I walked in. They let you use anything they have so you don't have to purchase yourself such as card box, cake knife, champagne glasses, table numbers, etc. They have a great choice of selections, and if you think of something different, they will find a way to do it! Not to mention the venue is very inclusive! There aren't extra fees for using anything. They are two of the easiest and most friendly people to work with, and they have so much experience that they think of every little thing that you don't. I am so glad we picked this as our venue! Before we even booked the place I could tell that Betsi and Samantha were going to go above and beyond for us. ![]() I don't think I could fit all of the good things I have to say about the Syndicate into one review. ![]()
