Villa Lombardi's or Crest Hollow

Hi girls! I need help...as a newcomer to the Boards (I just got engaged in April! ) I know from my FSIL that advice from everyone one the boards is 'priceless.' Here's my dilemma:

1. Villa Lombardi and Crest Hollow same price but food selection including cocktail hour selections are far better at VL.
2. Better pictures places and totally outdoor cocktail hour at CH~although VL has some nice ones and cocktail hour can be in and out.
3.BM at CH is almost unbearable...at VL a doll! The CH BM keepssaying we'll do well by you..then says the room determiniation isn't made until the week before the affair...but I'll put in a good word with operations...but I'm not sure I trust him...but I love the grounds...and I hear the food is good...
4.Travel time is better to CH.

I really fell in love with CH outside...and now I'm thiking if it rains...plus the beautiful VL cocktail hour...

I have to make decision soon...what do you think? Looking at wedding in September....

Thanks for your help...

I got married at CH--and i love my pictures because of the grounds there. I didn't hear one bad thing about the food. If there is a problem with a BM at CH-ask for another one. I had Sharon & loved her. I never heard anything like that about the room. I selected when i booked which one i wanted. i would ask about theat again becuae it doesn't sound right.

I went to a wedding at VL and i really wasn't impressed. I heard so many great things about them, but IMO the food was not that great & neither was the service.

I vote for VL!

Villa Lombardi's without question!!!
The food is beyond amazing and the cocktail hour and the Venise hour are HUGEEEEEE!!!!
I don't know how ur getting the same price tho!!!

The only thing I have to say - is I checked out Crest Hollow and I wasn't 'into' the placee, personally, but my FH wanted to look at it. I went to a wedding there, and my brother has been to 3 weddings there and we didnt like the food or the service and the BM that we dealt with is a real jerk!

I dunno, to me, theres no comparison...Villa all the way!

I definitely have to vote for Villa's, but I guess I am a bit bias

I LOVE Villa's....It is not only beautiful but the service and food is Exceptional!!!

I have no complaints...my wedding was wonderful and it's still talked about.

Good Luck!!

I vote for Villa's, but I guess I am a bit bias also since my wedding was there.

I have been to a wedding at both locations and Villa (IMO) blew CH away.

I dont have any compliments at all about Villa.
