Tuscany = Devil

Ryan and I were scheduled to be married on September 6th, 2009 at the Tuscany in Garden Oaks. We were very excited cause we loved the overall look of the facility and we were able to book it at a "reasonable" price. Houston is a hard place to find an affordable wedding facility. They all have minimums, and the Saturday price is always at least 3 times as high. So we were excited we could have a "cheaper" Sunday wedding on Labor day weekend.

Here is a look at the facility...

Indoor ceremony space

Outdoor ceremony space

Ball room for reception

This locaiton also has a beautiful bridal dressing room and even a sitting area for the room and his groomsmen. I loved all these touches, and could picture our day here.

As some of you already know, The Tuscany aka The Chef's Table has gone out of business. There have been rumors floating around as to why, and I am sure Ike didn't help the situation. But it has become apparent that this business was having money problems already. Ryan and I took the "payment in full" special as did many others, so we are out a good chunk of change. But we have boo hoo'd and have decided to move on and start over. We will of course be working on getting our money back, but we realize it may not be anytime soon. So we will start over, with a smaller budget, but we have high hopes for our special day.
