We went to a wedding there this weekend. It was the best wedding I have ever been to----ever. The food and the service were unbelievable. The place is gorgeous! Anyone who is getting married there is very lucky!

I went to a wedding there last year - it was amazing.
Food was delicious, service was great. It was beautiful!

Wow! The food was seriously unbelievable (and I think I am pretty picky). The coctail hour had a ton of different stations---panini station, a whole roast pig, this huge seadfood buffet on ice, a caviar station, tons of stuff. The food for dinner was great too. My filet mignon was the size of the whole plate and I didn't even need a knife.
Every time I tool 2 sips of my wine, the server would bring me a new glass. We didn't have to go to the bar at all.

sounds nice! its actually the only place on the island we were considering but then we decided on christmas and nixed the place since we would have liked it for a summer wedding - my FH has worked there before and said the only thing he didnt like was that the CH and reception are in the same room they just move around the partitions - like those fake walls - or maybe part of the lobby is part of the CH? i dont know what he meant because ive never been there but i know there was something to that effect that he didnt like about the place - but as a guest you probably wouldnt even notice....ive seen pictures from weddings there and its a nice backdrop - with the beach, boardwalk and view of the bridge! sometimes when my FH and I go running/walking we see brides and grooms taking their pictures!
