On June 30, 2017 I was an usher at my friends wedding, the night before he also held his rehearsal dinner at the Sterling Ballroom.
For the rehearsal dinner and the wedding the wait staff servicing the cocktail hour and reception were very good. However, I also experienced the
maitre’d (Nemorio Rincon) not taking any initiative during the rehearsal nor the wedding ceremony. The groom had a room available for his ushers to change into there tuxedo’s. While we were in the room the grooms daughter knocked on our door to speak with the groom. I noticed the groom getting upset and asked what was the problem. He proceeded to tell me that the maitre’d insisted that he (the groom) pay the balance of the dinner plates, which was the total of two plates. Before the ceremony the maitre’d did not take charge of getting the wedding party in order. If I did not speak directly to him, he would have walked out of the room into the courtyard all by himself without the wedding party. While we were taking pictures management also approached the bride and groom for final payment of the dinner plates, the same two plates. During the reception while having dinner, the maitre’d once again approached the bride and groom for payment. Now I ask you, who does that? On this special day that can not be recreated. The bride and groom already paid for over 130 dinner plates, was spending the weekend at the hotel, very unprofessional.
