From the initial contact with Dennis, \"Chief Wine-o,\" when we inquired about having our wedding rehearsal dinner at Kokopelli, he was laid back and casual.  We thought he was a little too casual given we didn't have a working relationship yet but were excited about the possibilities of hosting our event there. Dennis was aware that we expected to be paying for the rehearsal dinner ourselves and were very specific on the way the evening was to be planned; he offered the front area or the back room for our group of 18 and we settled on the back room for ease of chatting without yelling. When Dennis sent over the proposal, he listed the front room as our selection, I emailed him back and clarified that we had settled on the back room, he said \"Not a problem, I will note the change.\"  We were in the front area when we arrived for rehearsal dinner and ended up having to up-heave the entire group after about 20-30 minutes of being in the front area because we mistakenly thought we were in the front because we were \"early\" when we were actually right on time.  So our very sweet server, Stephanie, politely and quickly moved us to the back room, which, by the way, was in no way set up for us and we ended up moving the tables ourselves.  The two of us getting married didn't even get to sit next to one another at our own rehearsal dinner because of the poor planning and preparation on the part of Kokopelli!\nLet's back track a bit.  From day one, Dennis NEVER mentioned a thing about a corking fee ($10 per bottle corked on premises). So when I had emailed him about possibly adding a 1/6 or 1/4 keg to our reception wine order, he responded with the corking fee \"By the way..\" note, 2 days before the wedding. 2 DAYS. Since he had \"included it in the original quote but didn't specify the fee,\" he would split it with us for $5 a bottle.  Gee, so generous of you Dennis, thanks. SO we gave the specific instruction to him that NO bottle was to be corked by the servers, and yes we were supposed to have 2 servers but had 1 for a party of 18, unless we specifically requested it. Let's add to that the fact that I emailed Dennis about the keg and received no price quote no matter how many times I requested it until he told me, in the same corking email 2 days before the wedding, that the 1/6 of a keg would cost $75. AND we would have to provide the 25 lbs of ice. Like I have nothing else going on the day of my wedding than to get ICE for the keg?!?  \nAt dinner, my fiancee had to ask the server what the issue was since food took over an hour after we ordered it to start to trickle to the group, and by trickle I mean some people finished as some were just getting their meal. \"Another large party's food was prepared before\" ours, funny because we didn't see another large party when we arrived to the FRONT, and ours would be \"right out.\" When some of the chicken dishes arrived, they did not reflect the description in the menu, leading us to believe they ran out of the original.   \nSo after the borderline disastrous rehearsal dinner, saved of course by the company we were with, my fiancee told the server that we were not pleased. It was not her fault, but more Dennis', who wasn't even there to insure the event was a success. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry, I think he should have AT LEAST made an appearance at some point as he was our only contact regarding the event and it started at 6pm, a time he could have shown his face for. So Stephanie took my fiance's phone number and said she would pass along our comments.  \nFor the record, my parents paid for the rehearsal dinner, an unexpected and sweet gesture that was part of what made the event salvageable. So the next morning, wedding day, Dennis calls my fiancee and during the conversation, my fiancee, asks about the possibility of changing out the keg for some bottled beers as the $75 for 1/6 of a keg was not what we had expected.  Dennis' response?  \"I don't have to pick up the keg!\"  Never asked you to order it!  Take a moment and let that sink in because it's about to get better.  When she also mentioned the overall dissatisfaction regarding the event and the way everything was handled, his response was....\"Well, it's not like you ended up paying.\"  Is this guy seriously supposed to be a professional manager/owner of a business?!?!  Not once did he offer to right the wrongs that occurred, not ONCE. Oh, and by the way, he did mention that we had consumed 11 bottles of wine during the rehearsal dinner so we must have enjoyed ourselves and my spouse stated that when your food takes over an hour to be served, that tends to happen. Insert cricket noises here.\nWhen we ran out of beer very early at our reception, I emailed and asked for an itemized receipt of the wine and beer to see what we were charged/paid for. It took a week to get it and even still, not itemized.  I got a breakdown of what Dennis \"remembers.\"  Sorry guys, that doesn't cut it.
