I went to a wedding- I won't say when-but very recently. Now, I am only posting this because I figure it may help some brides which I know are getting married there soon. My question is-should I post the negatives? I think they can be corrected but I don't want to offend anyone?

you should be allowed. if you don't want to do it too negatively, just post as a list of 'things to watch out for' or 'things to make sure your hall does/corrects' kinda thread.

Okay, here we go. The wedding was at The Brentwood Country club. Let me first say, that the ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch.
Then we went to the outdoor cocktail hour. Now I understand people don't want to wait for the food to come out, but it may have been sitting in the chaffing dishes for a bit too long. A lot of the food was dried out. Some of it wasn't and what wasn't was great!
Let me also say that this was a wedding with 90 guests. For 90 guests they had one bartender during the cocktail hour and this was hard on the bartender. Literally 90 people were waiting on line for drinks. I would possibly ask to add in another bartender for the cocktail hour. We waited 25 minutes on line.
The staff was very professional but if guests left the table-they scooped up their food. A few people were upset about this. I would just mention for the waitstaff to please leave the plates unless a guest tells you otherwise.-A pain in the butt yes-but unless the plates are empty or if you asked the guest than maybe they should be left. Now, the set-up was better during the reception and they added a bartender-MUCH better-no problems after that. Brentwood Country club was clean, professional, and pretty. I just didn't want to offend anyone when I made these observations. I think the BCC brides will have a great day. Hopefully this helps-not hurts.

Thanks for posting this. I'll raise this when I see them this week to drop all my things off!

Me too!! thanks!!!

Thanks for the info.

i think you posted it in a well mannered way...it was not offensive at all...it will definitely be helpful for not just those brides but for all brides...
