The Haunting Realities of All-Inclusive Venue

Quinceanera Photo & Video Packages


Embarking on the journey of planning a Quinceanera is an exciting endeavor, and the allure of an all-inclusive package at a venue can be tempting. However, it's crucial to exercise caution, especially when these packages include photography and videography services. We here at Fotolilly Photography believe in being transparent with our clients.


We hope to shed some light on this subject based on what we have seen after years of experience in this field. Although we know the value of saving money and know that many people are offered this package as a way to save money, but there are also a dark side to this practice that we would like to shed light on.


Now we do know that this may not be widespread, but we do believe our very own clients when they share their own personal experience with us and how they decided to go with us instead of what their venue tries to sell them into. This article provides insights into potential pitfalls and offers advice on how to navigate the process wisely. Remember your daughter is a Princess and not a Dollar sign to be taken advantage of for some of these venues. 

Understand the Terms and Conditions

Caution Against Revenue-Driven Packages


It's essential to be aware of the motivations behind venues offering all-inclusive Quinceanera packages, particularly when it comes to photography and videography services.


Some venues may prioritize revenue generation over delivering top-notch services. They might cut costs by either providing sub-par materials or, in some cases, subcontracting the work to a network of photographers at the last minute. This practice can lead to inconsistencies in quality, style, and reliability.


While the package may seem enticing at first glance, it's crucial to thoroughly vet the photographers and videographers involved, ensuring they align with your expectations and standards for capturing your Quinceanera moments.


Don't let the allure of convenience compromise the excellence you deserve on your special day.

While all-inclusive Quinceanera packages can simplify the planning process, it's essential to approach them with a discerning eye, especially when it comes to photography and videography services. Be very leary and take your time to make the best decision. Do research before risking your money and most of all before you place the entire Quince in the hands of one person.


By understanding the terms, assessing quality, clarifying customization options, checking for hidden costs, verifying equipment, and seeking recommendations, you can navigate these packages wisely and ensure that your Quinceanera memories are captured flawlessly.

“Our Quince Venue over promised and under-delivered. Never again...just run“

ANONYMOUS REVIEW

“He presented a great looking deal. Once I saw the garbage they gave me now I know why they were so cheap. Extremely rude and unprofessional“

ANONYMOUS REVIEW

“Beware, everything was wrong from the food to the decorations. My family was mad and they acted like they didnt care. Once I saw the photos they took I just left them there. Why would I want that? “

ANONYMOUS REVIEW

“The videographer didnt even show up. I asked the owner and he said he was sick at the last minute. The owner then got a old looking camera and started to record“

ANONYMOUS REVIEW

“I only got 300 photos and almost all of them were the same. It was our fault y me repiento that I didnt just pay extra for another photographer“

ANONYMOUS REVIEW

In the rush of planning, some venues might overlook the magic that experienced photographers bring to your quinceanera. Instead of focusing on the artistry and personal touch, they may just slot in whoever is available that day. It's like expecting a Michelin-starred meal and getting fast food.


Trained photographers bring a unique flair, capturing the essence of your special day with finesse. Your quinceanera deserves more than a quick snapshot; it deserves the skilled hands and creative eye of a photographer who understands the importance of every smile, every twirl, and every shared moment. Don't settle for just anyone; choose someone who'll turn your memories into a masterpiece and not a Horror Story. Now this is not all Venues but just some of the horror stories shared with us by previous clients and people tell us when we ask "Why didnt you go with their All-Inclusive package?"


Of course we will create another blog with who we recommend in regards to Quince venues but stick to our strong feelings on avoiding obtaining photography and video services through any venue location. Dont risk your special event to save a few dollars.
