We have mixed feelings. The venue is gorgeous and it all worked out okay - but, my daughter likes to do things herself. Although we appreciate some assistance, we wanted to place our own decorations, etc. That seemed to be a issue for the staff, but we did it anyway. The most discouraging part was the day of the wedding and all of the staff following us around, telling us what and when to do it, and even telling our hired photographer how to do her job. I have never experienced this before. Every wedding any of our party ever attended or was in said that they agree it's nice to have someone available, if needed, but not around you every second. Staff came in and moved our belongings and walked in on us getting dressed. They even told two of our party that they basically could not get dressed with the rest of the wedding party. My daughter had to tell Wendy a few times that she did not want anyone helping her get dressed except for her mother. She also had to tell Wendy a couple times that she did not want her photographing or videoing the moment she shared with her father. They seemed to want us to bring things we didn't need - wondering if it was so they could keep them - since that was mentioned many times that people 'leave things behind for them.' Not sure so much that, or people forget and they inherit. They kept insisting on cranberry juice that we did not need. Again, the place is beautiful, but the staff are too overbearing. They say they want you to relax and enjoy your day, but you really can't when they won't leave you alone. The entire group of bridesmaids were irritated most of the day by some of the things that happened. If they would just say that if you need them, they will assist, that would be great. But not be on you every second all day. It was too much. I also agree that they started removing things a bit early at the end. But now we can relax, it's done and over and at least the weather was great and our guests said our decorating, etc. was done very nicely. read more
