| - My cousin got married this past weekend and I was looking forward to the event. I have heard great things about this place.
Ceremony: Basically couldn't see anything thanks to the planters that block our view. It was hard to feel like a part of the vows because it was impossible to see. (And I was in the 2nd row on the groom's side). My favorite part was the extremely mean red-haired photographer that informed us to not take any pictures during the ceremony, as they would be available for purchase online. While my cousin was walking down the aisle (he was the groom), the DJ played "Butterfly Kisses" which was an obvious mistake. That was supposed to be the song played for the bride and her father. It was especially obvious when the song was restarted when the bride walked down the aisle.
Reception: Wedding was at 7:30. We were not served food until 10pm. Besides the extremely little hand-passed appetizers that were fried, this was unacceptable. In the meantime, there was a photo-booth set up and the family was taking pictures. Once again, we asked the photographer about family pictures and he snapped at our family letting us know that we would have to make it "snappy" (his exact words) because it was not included on the regular picture list. Considering our family traveled across the country, this guy was way out of line. Once the reception finally got underway, (10pm) the food was mediocre. I walked away to go to the restroom and my full plate of food was removed. DJ was boring as all get up and the music wasn't enticing enough to get out and dance. Once everyone finally did dance, he would play a slow song. BLEK!
Anyway, overall, as an attendee, I would say that this was one of the most boring weddings I've been to. There was no coordinator to help move things along, DJ was boring and the food wasn't great.
