| - OK; let me begin by saying this not a golf review, so you golfers can stop reading -- just joking. I want to share my observations about their wedding services and catering.
I was invited to my niece's wedding held here. I was pleasantly surprised by everything. I was told by my brother (the bride's father) that this wedding event was a package deal that was purchased from Bear's Best, but since he was lucky enough not to have to pay for it, he did not know how much it costs. I don't know too -- but I would guess that while the prices might not be too outrageous, it can't be cheap too, since everything was pretty outstanding.
The wedding ceremony was held on the grass with folding chair seating for the guests. Nothing special, but nice. And they provided the music and the Chaplin and everything.
Then we had a one hour cocktail hour with open bar (beer, wine, liquor, cocktails) and a little bit of appetizers --- fruits, crudites, nuts, chips, cheese and crackers. Just perfect with cocktails and not too heavy with the dinner coming.
Then dinner was served buffet style -- mixed field greens and berries with a vinaigrette dressing, roasted red potatoes, sauteed mixed veggies, Chibbata rolls, Chicken Piccata, and prime rib roast beef.....I had two slices of rare prime rib and it was good. The food was surprising good for catered event with a big crowd. The rolls were hot and good; the veggies warm and not overdone; the beef was cooked perfectly, etc. etc. And most importantly, it all tasted good and not blah or mundane.
Dessert was wedding cake and gourmet cup cakes. And they had a "favors" table with chocolate dipped strawberries, gourmet chocolate pops, and red velvet cake pops dipped in a sugar glaze that hardened with the red velvet pop inside.
And I think Bear's Best provided everything, even the music for dancing and the DJ. I think they also provided the photographer. Service was great and the coordinator stays with the party from the very beginning until the last guest goes home.
So all-in-all, I think this place is pretty darn good.
