Ok so FH and I went around today and saw a few places. We saw Lombardis on the Sound, The Vineyard, and Hamlet Willow Creek. FH was not really that impressed with the first two but he LOVED The Hamlet Willow Creek. We want to have the ceremony there and they are actually making an outdoor ceremony spot this April which is great! Has anyone ever been there for a wedding before? Any thoughts about food, service, views, etc??

I think I had a different experience at WC than most. We were there for a wedding this past August and it was way too hot. We were all literally dripping in sweat before we even began to dance. The CH was in the front lobby area and there were too many people for the size of the room. Some CH food was outside in the back, but the logistics of walking from front to back seemed silly. I will say the grounds are gorgeous, so if you do book there, your pics will be fab.

Oh yes I have heard that about the summer. We are looking at May so it shouldn't be too hot. The whole cocktail hour is supposed to be outside so we shouldn't have that problem of walking back and forth. We are having around 125. They said they hold double that so hopefully it won't be to crowded

We went there to look at it and I LOVED it but it was a little out of our price range since at the time we were looking into an October wedding. It was beautiful and I've heard nothing but great things, best of luck!

We're having our reception there but not ceremony so I can't help you out much with that. We are expecting 150-160 and are a little bit worried about cocktail hour if it has to be in the lobby but it's only an hour. I worked with someone who worked at WC for 4 summers while in college, up untill August 2011 and he said the food is to die for and that they really pride themselves on how well they run everything. It was the only venue we foudn that really fit what we wanted at a very affordable price.
