Crest Hollow Country Club

I am considering Crest Hollow for my wedding reception and was looking for input from others. Is the food good (that seems to be all my dad cares about) and atmosphere nice? It looked really pretty (and I even saw it in the rain).


Any advice is always appreciated.

THank you :)

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

Everything was great at Crest Hollow.

I only had my reception there and it was truly fabulous. I never had to lift a finger, my bridal attendent even carried my bok for me anywhere we went. You could say she was my 'shadow' for the night


as for the food, ive heard it was delicious but DH and I never had a bite being so caught up in the moment.

I loved that I never had to worry on my wedding day.

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

one word, PERFECT!

The food was great, the place was beautiful, the bridal suite was HUGE, everything was perfect!

We were just there 2 weeks ago at our friends affair and it was as great as my sisters wedding there back in 1997.

CH is a great choice!~ good luck.

oh, the food was amazing.. we have never seen such a HUGE cocktail hour and the dinner was just as great.. people are still talking about my sisters wedding from 97!

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

I've had CH food 4x and all 4x the food was really good!! I've never heard of any complaints about the food yet..

atmospher: great, a lot of nice places to take pictures at..

CREST HOLLOW COUNTRY CLUB
C-

I’m actually surprised that I have to give the CHCC such a poor rating because I love the place and think it’s a beautiful venue for a wedding. My sister got married there 3 years ago and it was amazing. Although our guests knew nothing, and my wedding was still beautiful and the best day of my life. The day was unorganized and chaotic. We had known that there was a 2nd wedding going on the same day as ours, but found out only a few weeks before the wedding that there were to be 3 weddings going on at the same time. Our ceremonies were only 30 minutes apart – Bride #1 at 12:00, My Ceremony – 12:30, Bride #3 at 1:00. Everything was rushed and because I had a very religious and traditional orthodox ceremony there were a couple of pre-ceremony, ceremonies that took place. They moved where DH’s pre-ceremony was and never told us, so nobody knew where it was for the first 30 minutes DH said there were only 3 people there. My father, his father and the Rabbi. When DH came in to the cocktail hour for the veiling ceremony he couldn’t find me… because they put me in a different part of the room as what they had told us. He found me rather quickly, but was very confused at first. Also, as part of this veiling ceremony the groom comes in with his father, the brides father and the rabbi. Well, his father was not there at the time when the Crest Hollow was ready for DH to come in, (but again, communication had broken down and nobody knew what was going to happen or when it was supposed to happen) In any event, they wanted DH to go without his father! DH put his foot down and said he wasn’t going without him. Prior to this, I had made my entrance into the cocktail hour, and typically I’m escorted by my mother, mother in law and BM’s as well as the musicians. Well the musician’s weren’t there, and when I told the bridal attendant to get them I was told we just have to go. I refused until she got the musicians. Also, the photographer and videographer were not in the room and they should have been. Again, the Crest Hollow was supposed to communicate with them when I was coming in, and that never happened. So now, one of the things that meant a lot to me to have footage of, I have no pictures or video of.

Off to the Ceremony –

Earlier, the Matire’D came into the Bridal Suite to go over the program with me and the wedding procession with me. We went over everything in detail and he wrote down detailed notes. At the ceremony, they disregarded everything and sent everyone down in pairs. The groomsmen, the bridesmaids, etc…. They even sent down my two ring bearers and my two jr.attendants (flower boys for lack of a better term) all at the same time. I protested when they did that and the Maitre’D told me that it said all 4 of them in the program. I then got snippy and asked him if his program was the special one that said that, because none of the other one’s did. I think they did what they did because we were delayed.

Bridal Suite after Ceremony – In the Jewish tradition, it’s required to have “alone time” immediately after the ceremony, it’s usually for 6 or 7 minutes minutes. But we could stay in the suite alone for as long as we like. Since DH and I had to fast in the morning, this was our opportunity to have some quiet time alone and to eat something. DH had made some specific requests for food in the Bridal Suite, but we didn’t get anything we asked for. No big deal really, but it would have been nice to have what we had asked for.

The Reception –

The Maitre’D and staff knew that we along with our parents and siblings were going to take pictures during dinner in the back of the ballroom, they also knew which tables were the parent and sibling tables. They served the dinners, but ended up taking them off the table before anyone could eat anything. So when they all got back to their tables their dinners were gone. During the Best Man and Maid of Honor speeches we were told the Microphones weren’t working so nobody other than the tables next to us could hear. We didn’t know this because they were standing right behind us, so we were able to hear.

All in all, my day really was amazing, gorgeous and everything a wedding should be. But I was disappointed with the Crest Hollow. I think there was just too many weddings going on at the same time for it to be organized. Poor DH didn’t even have a Suite to use. They stuck him in a spare office.

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

One thing to consider. If your thinking of having your cocktail hour outside, it's an extra 500 dollars This was the only place we looked into that charged you extra to have a ct. hour outside. But if you really want it and have the money for it, go ahead

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

Ive been there for many functions. Its very pretty and I always have a great time! Food is excellent!

Wow, i didn't know about this at all!

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

I was considering it because of the gorgeous grounds but was turned off by how close the banquet rooms were together. Your guests would share the same bathroom.

Remember - this is only ONE PERSON's experience! My sister had her wedding there 3 1/2 years ago and it was FANTASTIC!! I may have only given the Crest Hollow a C-, but I'm EXTREAMLY picky and an anal perfectionist. I absolutely love the Crest Hollow and don't regret using them for my wedding.

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

Most places I have been looking at dont have seperate bathrooms...

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

we are booked at cresthollow and i am happy with our decison. I think i looked at like 30 catering halls! In addtion, my father has been there many times for different functions and always had great things to say.

Good Luck---FM me if you have any other questions.

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

I worked there for 6 years and I am also having my wedding there. If you want some information you can FM me

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

it depends what you are looking for. if you don't mind other wedding receptions taking place during your reception then you will like it.

there is no doubt that it is nice, i went there to look for my reception and attended many weddings there. i thought it was very reasonable.

Re: Crest Hollow Country Club

Crest Hollow is amazing!! Our wedding was unbelievable!! If you have any questions, please feel free to FM me. I had my cocktail hour outside and did pay the extra $500 but it was totally worth it.
