BEWARE of Lakeway Resort & Spa!

The planner I used from Lakeway Resort & Spa is horrible to work with. I am far from being a picky Bridezilla (I am super laidback and calm), and I am ridiculously upset with how she works. Weddings and event planning is far from what she needs to be doing.

It should not take over 10 *business* days to respond to an email asking for vendor referrals. Yes, 10 business days - not including holidays or weekends here! It was a month before the wedding also.

Beware of booking there as long as she's working there...
The other two catering managers I had (yes, both long time employees left during my planning process unfortunately) were outstanding. I'm not sure how she happened to get into Lakeway. :(

Good luck, brides! Contact me with any questions you have !

I started looking at reviews after the similar experience with a planner at Lakeway. I wish I had insisted we change planners when I complained a month ago. Yes, she needs to be doing anything but planning. Same scenario, long times to answer emails and not answering all questions.

Hi All,

I actually work for Lakeway Resort and Spa. Everyday I go to work and hope to give all of our clients the experience I would want to have... the wedding I would want... the meeting... the weekend with someone special. That is why I love the hospitality industry. It allows you to take part in helping others create GREAT memories.

I just wanted to let you know that the Executive Team has reviewed the comments and concerns posted. It is nice that there is a forum like this so that we can learn and become aware of opportunities. We appreciate your input. Please do not hesitate to contact me direct if you need to. I am happy to connect you with one of our executives, as well, should you have any concerns.

I love our property, it is beautiful, and I only want each of you to be able to enjoy it the way that I have.

BEST WISHES on all your weddings... and many years of happiness!!!

Please email me at austinbride at gmail If you'd like more information. I'll have to get more details from a friend about a separate event there also if you're interested in that. Since it's hearsay I won't post it and I want to get more details for you.
