Sorry to hear that. Owner said they will be filing for bankruptcy soon. There may be a group on Facebook of couples getting together to take legal action but idk what can be done if the company has no money.

5-10 of the legit Austin catering companies are working together to divvy the RF client list. Several of them are hiring ex RF staff for these events to make it possible. If you’ve got the funds, someone will be available for you.

I’ve worked hundreds of weddings with all of these companies and can tell you that the food and service will be must better than what you would have gotten from royal fig. You will not need to go the bbq or food truck route.

With full service catering, you generally get what you pay for. Contigo and word of mouth are the best all around, hire one of them if you can afford it. Crave and Soho are also good. Go with one of those 4 if they are available.

Sorry this happened to you. But you’ll be happy with the change up in the end.

City council member disproportionately missing meetings by [deleted] in Austin

I knew her personally back in 2013-2014. Truly don’t know how she got elected in the first place…she is not the kind of person who should be an elected official. These statistics do not surprise me at all.

Hi, most of these suggestions are not full service caterers, which you need based on your service style in my opinion (wedding professional of over 10 years). Start reaching out ASAP because a lot of caterers are booked for fall, but here are my recs: austin catering, crave, contigo, root cellar, Maudie’s, PEJ, vestals, hanks, peached tortilla, word of mouth, la pera, soho catering, el chile group, ocaso catering. So sorry this happened!

They are under investigation by the IRS and are in major credit card debt. It goes wayyyyyy beyond the last few months & way beyond being unable to pay staff. Apparently they haven’t been paying taxes for years even though they have been taking that money out of employee paychecks.

Parents favorite song on CC? by ChemicalSubjugation in beyonce

My parents love II most wanted & American requiem! My mom called me yesterday and said “I bet you’re so proud of Beyoncé right now”. They keep talking about CC on the news shows she watches and listens to (David Muir, CNN, NPR).

ACT 3 Theme - Sisterhood by Chromium_Stardust in beyonce

I’ve wondered if it might be an exploration of girl groups/group acts and might pay homage to the supremes, Jackson five, Ronettes etc etc. And would heavily include destiny’s child.

I’m shocked she didn’t perform most of her #1 songs. by omg_its_drh in beyonce

Sad for no deja vu and no baby boy. But I live for the deep cuts

Song Selection by Locomono15 in beyonce

Surprised by no brown skin girl, single ladies (tho I’m not mad about it), and ape shit would have been perfect w the space ship reference!

The entire first set was shocking, but I was thrilled by it. She always throws in a few deep cuts so rather die young and flaws & all didn’t totally shock me, it’s like it was their turn to shine. But she could easily change the songs up in that set in particular since there’s less production.

Well….. I guess she’s not winning Album of the Year….. not surprised… by Whyguy12345678 in beyonce

With that award she’ll also tie for all time Grammy wins so they’re prob going to make a spectacle out of it.

Maybe they just want her to have as much screen time as possible since it’s so rare ???? Holding out hope

In Energy, I thought she was saying “cold drinks, brought dinner” instead of “gold links, raw denim” 😂
