| - eh. I'm not sure on this.... 2.5 stars.
A week ago, we ran into Bear's Best at a bridal show. We were informed that they would be having an open house today. Excited to check out the property, we were happy to attend this afternoon.
We arrived to a small set up, with DJ, cakes, travel, stationary, etc.
Of course, there was a raffle, that I didn't win anything in, but okay.
The property was set up beautifully with an arch and floral swag by their "pond".
They also have a cocktail/patio/lounge area complete with stones and fireplaces.
The food was okay....Yeah, just okay.
It was served buffet style, not passed h'orderves. So, this formed a line, with sassy, hungry people waiting for their freebies. Trying to not step on any toes, we tried to keep our distance....LOL.
There were two skewer options, beef and chicken. My mom and I both opted for the chicken, it had a Teriyaki flavor to it. We both had some trouble getting it off the stick. The potstickers where kind of dry, I passed on the fried mac and cheese, and got a few pieces of fruit.
The tables were set up, in different decorated ideas (linens, floral, etc) but the majority of them had signs telling us to look, and admire them, but not to sit at them. Another thing that is kind of difficult when you don't have any standing cocktail tables.
There were complementary champagne, (I passed) and water and iced tea.
The vendors I have seen before, but I was interested in the stationary, and the cake.
The cake, meh, I've had better. The two ladies that were there, were not that helpful. This confused me, because one of them had a baking/chef coat on. My mom has quite a few food allergies, and one of them is corn/corn syrup. Both of the ladies had to stop and think what could and not have corn in them. How can you pass out samples, not knowing what was in them....?
I guess for a $12,000 package, a little over $14,000 with fees, I was expecting a little bit more for me to book my date.
My search is still going................................................
