| - We got married here this past weekend. My fiance and I began planning our wedding late last year when we were living in Alaska. We never were able to visit the venue, have a cake tasting, food tasting, or anything before the big day. We were NOT disappointed. The outdoor ceremony area was absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding began at 8pm right when the sun was setting, and the lights in the trees and gazebo area was gorgeous, and we didn't even do any extra decorating! I can't imagine how pretty it would be with flowers or something extra. The reception area was right next to the outdoor ceremony, and again it was beautiful. We opted not to do any extra table decorations (ie centerpieces, flowers, etc) and all of our guests could not stop talking about how great the venue was. If you are worried about the venue, don't be! It was beautiful!
Now for the cake. Our wedding package included a basic cake, with upgrades optional with a charge. We decided to get a cake that cost $100 extra (fresh flowers and a cake stand with a premium flavor). It was not only gorgeous, but completely delicious. It was a 3 tier cake with two different flavors, red velvet and white chocolate raspberry. They were both awesome. My picky grandma who doesn't like red velvet loved it.
The food. Now honestly, I didn't have a lot of time to eat (pictures, guests visiting, etc). Appetizers: fresh fruit, crab puffs, and eggrolls. These I did eat, all of them, and they were all phenomenal.
Main dishes: Prime rib, pasta primavera, chicken marsala. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to eat much of this, but my guests couldn't stop commenting on the prime rib, most saying it was the best they had ever eaten.
Sides: Asparagus and roasted red potatoes. Again, I didn't get a chance to eat much of this, but we did get complements, especially on the asparagus.
DJ Syd. The DJ was awesome, very responsive to the guests' requests and music preferences. He was funny too and really meshed well with our whole family! Our guests also commented on how they really liked him.
Finally, my bridesmaids and I got ready before the ceremony in the room available to us. It was really nice to have that there, us girls had an amazing time with the complementary champagne and lots of mirrors!
Overall I couldn't have been happier with this wedding! I was so worried about how the venue would turn out and whether or not all of the random wedding decoration accessories I brought along would fit with the venue and the people at Sunset Gardens did an amazing job. As soon as I arrived to get ready before the ceremony, my stress melted away. If you are considering this location, go for it!
