Guest wedding review..

I went to a wedding last night at Leonard's (the same place I am getting married next April). It was perfect. The food was fantastc, the service was impecible.

My two complaints:

1) a late sunday evening reception has got to be the worst. Dinner wasn't served until 9:30, guests had to leave before the garter, bouquet toss, and cutting of the cake because they had to go to work today. I didn't get a chance leave until 11:15, and we didn't even get a piece of the wedding cake. I think if you're going to do a late night wedding, make it Friday or Saturday night, when most people don't have to go to work the morning.

2) the DJ, MRG entertainment was fantastic. The MC was very involved with the crowd, they gave out lots of stuff and were very attentive to the bride and groom. But whomever the couple had at the cocktail our was horrible. He was playing an organ they sell at Radio Shack. It was way too loud and the music sounded very bad.

The only other thing I would suggest is if you are having your wedding in the busy season at Leonard's, try to have it on the top floor. The 1st and 2nd floors were so packed with people and I didn't like the inter-mingling of the guests from different parties. The upper floor only had 2 rooms and had a lot less traffic.

Other than that, it was a fantastic event. It was fun and exciting to go to my very first wedding. I was amazzed that not only did they have their reception at the same place we are having ours, but the BM dresses were the same color. So now I am changing my color scheme a bit. Since the same people will be at our wedding, I feel kind of strange having the same of everything.

Now I am going to sit at my desk and take a nap.
