Hustlers - Pav will charge you extra for nonsense out the blue and will be unreachable

they keep generating new hitch and google accounts and making fake reviews (check dates of reviews and images obviously from the lakeview marquee social page).

Wedding was ruined by Pav telling us we had to pay for all manner of extra options the day before that we thought we paid for when we were sold the all inclusive package. Had to pay for table cloths, glasses, heaters… total joke

They have closed their Google review page many times because of ask the bad reviews. They will charge you for a package then last minute add extra costs like table cloths and smoke etc. The main rep Pav is very unprofessional and in fact will be unreachable close to the wedding date. He also will charge you for a professional photographer team but it's just him holding a camera and a close veins of his. Please ensure all costs are broken down in the contract and make sure you have a contact in place. Get your own photographer and benefits for everything because you'll just be over charged for sub quality services.
Took 5 phone calls to even get in touch with him morning of our wedding. I would steer clear...There's a reason why there's only 3 reviews and the business on Google is only a week listed.
