Did you feel the need for up-lighting? FH and I are really considering it but aren't sure if its worth it
not at all. The place has such a rustic feel to it that I thought it would ruin it with uplighting. JMO though, I know some girls did have it. I just wanted to keep the natural beauty of the place.
We are doing minimal uplighting around the dance floor and were thinking about lining the exposed brick with candles along the floor to play up the brick. I agree that you don't want to take away the rustic feeling, that's why we are planning on doing more candlelight since our wedding is at night. Can't wait!!

it's funny to me b/c you're saying you have so much to do... at the number of months out that you are from your wedding (approx 9 months), i had just booked my place. that was the only thing I had done. booked my florist one month out, booked my hair/makeup two weeks ago, in the process of booking the shuttle vans... and those are only the *big* things. this week i'll be working on programs and menus and seating... with the amount of time you have left, you should be stress-free. you have plenty of time!!!

I was dead set against it in the beginning b/c i didnt want to take away from the rustic feeling the walls and ceilings give.
Then as planning went a long and I kept seeing pics and video of the place with uplighting we went for it and we LOVED IT!!!!
It didnt take anything way but it totally added something and made those accents really stick out!!
We only did it on the dance floor which was super cool b/c i did kind of want that club feeling and we had that on the dance floor but not the whole place.
Here is a picture of the room w/ no one in it and the lighting... yea, you see the lighting but you can still see the special elements of the room. This was just our opinion, i think the place looks amazing either way!!!

My one big complaint was how the tables were set up - I found the seating chart they gave us to be VERY misleading. It was too late for me to fix anything by the time I realized who was sitting where. This is one thing that still kind of bothers me.
I will have a full review in like a month or 2 after we get back from the HM.

I'm sure you must be busy preparing for your honeymoon... how exciting! Glad to hear that you enjoyed your big day despite the mishaps.
If you have time, could you explain a bit more about the seating? I'm meeting with them this weekend and am supposed to give them the seating chart. After reading your comment, I'm curious if I'm misinterpreting how the seating is based on the sheet they gave me?
Thanks!
I was considering sticking vendors there?

The way we read the seating chart was that NO tables were stuck in that back corner! Therefore we placed people on that side of the seating chart thinking it was all the main area right on the dance floor.
Well after looking at the sheet the right side is that back corner that everyone hates. I wish that was explained more on the sheet or in person.

Yeah, I'd love to avoid seating people at that back corner table, but I think we might have to. We have about 145 guests, so it might be inevitable. How many people did you have at your wedding? It stinks that you were mislead... I hope that all the good things that happened on your day more than made up for it!

We ended up having to stick a table of people there, but only because FH was being a biatch. If we had sat our two family tables next to ours, we would have not had to do it, but he didn't want anyone sitting with usSerious groomzilla lately.
