| - My friend got married here over the weekend. I am in the wedding business and am also a wedding addict, they are kinda my thing and I cant help but critique a place.
Things I liked:
The venue was beautiful! Very pretty, loved the crystal chandelier and the floor to ceiling glass walls that were retractable! Nice touch.
The grounds and back drop to the ceremony were fantastic.
The staff was very nice and courteous.
Things I didn't like:
They had ANOTHER wedding going at the same exact time just a hop skip and a jump away! I don't know if my friend knew they double booked or not, but while we are seated waiting for our bride to walk down the aisle we were able to watch the other bride and her whole wedding take place. NOT COOL.
We had to go outside and down a walk way to get to the bathrooms that were shared with the other wedding. The bathrooms were alright but the paper towel dispenser broke and they just sat a roll of paper towel on the counter, klassy.
The wedding was to start at 4:30, guests started arriving at 3:45. The venue was no where near completely set up, my husband had to hold me back from jumping in.
They were letting guests INTO the reception venue, people were taking their cards off the escort table and going and sitting at their tables, instead of showing them to the ceremony area.
The gift table was not set up outside where it was supposed to be, people were walking around with gifts in their hands, until the manager realized it wasn't out there and moved it outside.
Water wasn't even set up, we sat there and watched them scramble to get things together, as if the wedding was a total surprise that it was happening that day!
While guests are being seated a water pipe or sprinkler bursts and is gushing like a fountain spraying water at least 10 feet into the air just mere feet from all the guests, it was a big soggy mess, they got chairs and string and tried to rope off the area so people wouldn't sink into the huge mud area the water had made, it also took a good 10 minutes for them to get the water turned off.
The food was typical wedding food, We had a duet of fillet Mignon and chicken Marsala, I salted and peppered it before I even took bite and it was so bland I had to season it more.
That's all I got.
The venue is really very beautiful, but the managing staff/event coordinators have no clue what the are doing.
