I cannot recommend Tammy highly enough! I went for my first…read moreappointment recently. I had been very fatigued and just generally lack luster. I had never had Reiki before and didn't know what to expect. Tammy has such a calming and welcoming presence, I immediately felt relaxed. We spoke for quite a while to give her some of my background and talk about my expectations/hopes for the session. She then explained a bit about the process and then we started the actual Reiki. I don't want to say too much about the process or give people expectations as everyone will have a different experience but I felt completely coddled and I could feel my energy shifting. I felt really light afterwards and was just smiling! It's now a few days later and I still feel lighter, clearer and have more energy. I can't really explain but I can say that you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't go for a session. You don't need to know about Reiki or believe in it, just go in with an open mind, it has been such a positive experience! Thank you Tammy-Mae

We attended a wedding here for my husband's coworker. There was a very nice valet attendant and the…read morevenue and grounds are gorgeous. The ceremony was outside and we had a nice cocktail hour afterwards. The food was phenomenal, with passed hors d'oeuvres, mashed potato bar, and a carving station. The bartenders were very nice and accommodating. Some misses during cocktail hour included ice cold broccoli at the mashed potato bar, like they just took it out of the fridge. Some of the passed hors d'oeuvres did not have toothpicks to pick up the items. We adjourned upstairs for the reception and it was beautifully decorated. Our salads were waiting at our seats. The dinner was really good and we were happy with the food and the drinks. Unfortunately, the service was not good at all. I heard that this place shut down their golf course but are trying to open sections back up, so they've mostly been operating as an event space, which likely means they don't have permanent staff. In situations like this, the staff they have are usually doing the very bare minimum, which was noticeable. While the service staff was very nice, most didn't know what they were serving, which was a problem as some in our group had dietary restrictions. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if there's meat or seafood in whatever they're serving. The cocktail hour carving station was held up because the person manning it didn't have a knife. I visited the station three times and only found a steak knife (mixed in with butter knives) on my 3rd round. The servers also did not pass any food to the people standing on line for the bar. They were visiting people thta already were sat, eating food. It would have been nice to have a coconut shrimp while I waited for 10 minutes, for a drink. During the main reception, it took a very long time for them to clear plates and when they brought our first course, they served half of our table and then another person came out with plates and skipped our table, went to a different table, and the other half of ours had to wait until yet another person came out to finish serving. They took our silverware and we had to go to the kitchen to ask for replacements because they were never brought back to us, even when we asked the servers. I accidentally spilled a cup of water that took three of our napkins. I asked for replacement napkins and it took my husband going to the kitchen to to ask but they only had two napkins left and did not even think to offer paper napkins. By the time dessert was served, for at our table left for the evening. When they came around to give cake slices, I asked for one of each, and the server said that they didn't have enough - I pointed out that half of our table was gone so they could definitely allow me a second slice. I'm glad I asked bc the chocolate cake they originally gave me was too sweet for me but the extra vanilla slice was perfect. They left us with our cake and never gave us dessert utensils. We had to scavenge for them, from the place setting of those that left the event. The served coffee with no milk. Several other tables, including ours, had to ask for milk, and it took ridiculously long to get anything. As I said, the wedding was beautiful, the reception was fun, but that was mostly because of the the bride, groom, families, DJ and emcee. The venue, decor, food and grounds, were all great, but the service was so very bad. Hopefully once they've opened on a more regular schedule, they'll have more committed, permanent staff, that will represent the venue better.

Note- party planning review. Went here on Sunday January…read more26th 2025 with my family to look at places to book my dad's 60th birthday party. My mom also looked at this place for my sweet 16 in 2011. We live nearby, so a pro is that it is close for us. We met Amanda, who was very nice and showed us around the place. It has a beautiful open white room, both upstairs and downstairs. the room upstairs has a beautiful 4 wall bar that is located in the corner, and is used for the open bar. Amanda did a good job answering all of our questions. There were lots of options from having a breakfast/brunch, to a buffet style dinner, or a sit down dinner. We would have went with the sit down option, and they had lots of choices regarding food: A steak, a salmon, and chicken. We did ask what kind of chicken and steak there was and she found out for us. We were also able to pick 4 options of appetizers, and would get salad and pasta, as well as the entree and a cake. I thought it was a beautiful venue with big windows and gorgeous views of the golf course. very pretty. i also like that if we decided to go with this venue, they would offer food tastings so that we know how the food is before booking. restrooms were small with 2-3 stalls, but were very clean. Kudos to Amanda for also following up to my mom's email, where they accommodated a pricing request. Unfortunately, we decided to go with another venue with more food options. However would definitely consider here for another party!

They…read morebought an old airport that had shut down and created a several mile long track with 20+ turns and lots of elevation changes. The track itself is only 3 years old, so the pavement quality is excellent, no cracks or anything. They have a brand new clubhouse that cost several million to build that has a cafe/bar, a members lounge, locker rooms, pro shop, and classrooms that the track racing pros use to teach members racing skills. This place is tucked away in the very quiet picturesque country town of Monticello, NY, in a gated facility. It is a great place to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon, in my opinion. Members can either bring their own cars or pay extra and use one of their cars. They have a fleet of Cadillac CTS-V cars as well as more exotic cars like the uber-rare Ford GT. The staff are very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and are as passionate about cars as the members. I had the pleasure of being driven around by the head racing professional in a CTS-V. HOLY CRAP. We were hitting 145 mph in the straights and powersliding through tight corners. It was awesome. I want to go back tomorrow!!
