| - The venue was pretty and quaint for the wedding we just went to (just wedding guests, not bride or groom) For being on the small side they have successfully designed the space available to them in a way that is accommodating for what could probably be up to 100 people. The cocktail hour was a little cramped in that bar area but luckily the weather was nice enough where we could stand outside and spread out a bit. The reception hall was nicely decorated and spacious enough to dance and eat. The food was good as well.
My biggest complaint would be the bar and wait staff. During the reception the bartenders were blatantly standing against the wall, chatting, as myself and a few other guests were waiting for them to serve us. Finally one of us said, Uh hello?! And they came up. I think by this time the tips had stopped pouring in as heavily as they started for the cocktail hour so maybe that was it, I don't know. Later, I asked them to pour a shot for myself and a member of the bride's family (who had paid for the alcohol on their own) and the bartender girl said their liquor license doesn't allow that. Whether you believe that or not, it may be useful to keep in mind if you plan on using this venue and you want your guests to imbibe. Also... the absolute minute I was done eating my dinner, like the second I put my fork down, the waiter came by immediately to whisk away my plate. Same thing happened to my husband. It may sound fat, but we both looked at each other and laughed because we both wanted seconds. He had to grab an empty plate next to us and we shared a second round of food on that. On that note, that's the only thing the waiter did. They weren't very good about refilling our water glasses at all.
Overall it was a nice place for a nice wedding but service is super important to me and for a wedding I think the quality of their serving staff has much room for improvement.
