Went to wedding at Eastwind this weekend....
I haven't posted here in a while, but just thought I'd post about the wedding I went to at Eastwind Caterers. The wedding was at a church, the reception started at 7:00pm. The cocktail hour was in one house-type bldg and the reception was in another hall, the food was excellent as was the service. No complaints about them at all, the grounds are absolutely gorgeous not to mention that the weather was perfect on Friday. The wedding was about 140-150 ppl, so I'm not sure if the room was at it's max, but it was kind of tight. Our table was half against the wall, and you had to squeeze through to get in and out. This was kind of an inconvenience for those who wanted to walk around and talk to people. I didn't notice this problem during the cocktail hour. Everyone loved the prime rib, no one at my table chose the stuffed filet of sole. They also had good kids food.
The photographer was ADA, and this is just my opinion, I'm not sure if it was the bride and groom's instruction to them or not, but they waited until the reception (during the salad time) to take family pics. Well, by then it was dark, and I think people wished that they had been taken earlier.
The DJ was Tommy Tunes, and again JMO, not sure if it was the bride and groom's play/do not play lists and style, but something was off, and the people I talked to said they had a hard time dancing, I think it was something about the way they were mixing the music.
I'm not sure who the videographer was, but between the bright lights that he had and the photographer's flash, I was kind of turned off, and felt intruded when the videographer was shining the light and his camera in my face. Just something to think about to make sure your guests are happy too.
