| - LULZ. Why is this place listed under "shopping?"
My sister and my new brother-in-law just got married here on Friday. Things for the most part went smoothly and aside from 5 minutes of enormous hail, the weather was beautiful.
Pros:
- Gorgeous location, surrounded by rolling green hills.
- The wedding coordinator was an absolute sweetheart and a total pro.
- The in-house photographer was EXTREMELY patient with 2 unruly flower girls.
- The limo driver for the bridal party arrived early and didn't mind when I realized we had to turn the limo around, because I forgot something important back at the house (my Maid of Honor speech! eep!).
- The in-house videographer had no problem taking on creative suggestions from the best man.
- The food was delicious and they had a vegan meal for me that wasn't a big pile of bland salad!
- I got carded by a bartender, who then apologized profusely when he saw that I'm in my mid-20's. Fool! Don't apologize!
Cons:
- It had rained the night before the wedding and WP promised us a carpet to walk on for the ceremony. Ceremony time: no carpet. My beautiful silver heels sank in to the lawn with every step.
- I had to run across the dining room to flag down a waiter to get ONE hors d'ouerve. And none for Gretchen Wieners. I was starving after the ceremony and official photos! One teeny baguette slice with some tomato spread on it is not going to tide me over for the 3 hour wait for the sit-down dinner!
- When you have your wedding at the WP, you MUST use their photographer, you MUST use their catering and you MUST use their wedding invitations. This could be great for people that procrastinate about those sort of details, but not so great for someone who likes to have options and is crafty.
- The WP offers a projection screen, but no projector. Also, they have a sound system straight out from 1993. This means we had to bring our own projector (and not everyone just happens to have a projector!) and cables to play a slideshow during dinner. Not only that, I had to hold up a mic next to my laptop's speaker for people to hear the music that went along with the slideshow.
- While the wedding went fairly smoothly, there seemed to be a TON of waiting around for the official start time for this and that.
---
All in all, while there were a few hiccups, they provided us with an amazing day for my sister and new brother-in-law, and really, that's the most important thing :).
