Yes I am being a pain in the tush...
Does anyone know what happens if it rains?

Do they have a seperate room for ceremony & cocktail hour??

I would love to be married outside - I am looking at worst case scenario!!

Thanks!

Hi-
I also looked there and thought it was nice. They do not have a site fee and they quoted me 100 for a Sat night in Oct. I did think it was a little old looking. The chairs were old and the ones we sat on had stains, etc... I would defiantely recommend chair covers. Also if it rains the coctail hour is in this small outcove - basically in the reception room. Also the ceremony would be on the dance floor. In the end I thought it wasn't worth it for the money.

Sorry if I offend anyone, it is just my honest opinion. Good Luck/

Hi Darly,

My Fi and I looked at it a few weeks ago and really liked it - it's in our top 2. It's really pretty and the view is so nice. The woman who showed us around was very thorough - we were there for an hour and a half! Their prices for a Friday, Sept 05 are $75 - 110 depending on the menu you choose. Cocktail hour is outside, and if it rains, they'll have it inside where the dance floor area is. I'm not sure about ceremony since we're having ours at my church. Chair covers are included as are centerpieces and cake. We're going to a tasting tonight. They have tastings the 1st Thursday of every month. It's $35 a person, but you get it back if you book. I'll post tomorrow on how we thought the food was. A family friend had their wedding their last year and loved it. (I didn't go though)
The only downfalls for me was that it might be a little too small for me (150) and I really want my cocktail hour outside, rain or shine. I had posted a question on it a while ago, not sure if you saw it or not:

Good luck!!

Werent you going to book the Metropolitan? Or was that a different Darly? Just wondering.

We looked at it after being there for a wedding in Sept. 03. The food was fantastic- even the wedding cake! I liked it, but thought we could get a better deal elsewhere and thought our out of towners would have trouble finding it. The middle menu was comparable to what we were looking at everywhere else and we were quoted $70 pp (before tax & 20% gratuity) for a Sunday night in Nov. I think the prices are $65, 80, and 110 for the three menus (sunday night), but she told us we could get a $10 discount for Nov. or December, but only for the lower and middle menus- no discount for the top menu.

The ceremony is held on the dance floor if there is rain, but there is a movable wall, so your guests won't see the dining room during the ceremony. One person I talked to said the room was VERY tight, and was very uncomfortable. I went to a wedding that was about 100, but more than that might feel crowded. It was a definite contender, but we decided not to book there.
