Winter Garden Room Foxwood VS Milleridge

I've been to both venues (not for weddings though) and the food at the Fox Hollow has been amazing every time. There Winter Garden room is so unique and beautiful, there aren't many halls with that type of look. Choosing between the two I would go with the Fox Hollow.

Winter Garden Room Foxwood VS Milleridge

I looked at both and booked at Fox Hollow, but in the Garden Terrace room (winter garden was too small for our amount of guests). How many guests are you having? Theres a big difference in size between the two rooms. You don't want to cram too many into the WGP but you don't want too few at Milleridge where the space will look too empty. If I had the choice between the two, I'd go with WGP at Fox Hollow.. I wasn't thrilled with the service we got at Milleridge or the metal tracks on the ceiling where the room gets divided. But then at Fox Hollow it's not one wedding at a time so there's that. It all depends on the look you want too.. Milleridge is more of a ballroom feel where WGP is more open-air. Sorry that was probably no help at all lol Good luck with your decision! If you have any questions about either place, let me know =)

Winter Garden Room Foxwood VS Milleridge

Thank you :) It's about 100 to 120 guests.. Yes I feel that winter garden room Is gorgeous! but I thought the Milleridge menu was better than foxhollow. And they also told me they decorate the Milleridge with 100s of candles when your guests enter, I thought I would enjoy the romantic feel along with us being in front of the fire place.. When you booked the foxhollow did they throw it a lot of items? I liked that with them...

Yes they did throw in a lot.. We originally wanted to guarantee 150 but their minimum for our room was 175 and they wouldn't budge on that so to make it easier to swallow they threw in the painters palette intermezzo, a pasta course, an ice cream sundae bar (they didn't go for full Viennese but we got the ice cream so fh was happy), and an exit station with hot pretzels, cookies, lemonade and iced tea in to-go cups. Around $3K in extras.. Some of which I'm sure they offer to everyone but it still feels nice that we're getting something extra for the extra money we're spending.

Exactly!! They threw in the room next door also with the exit station.. ours is hot cocoa and warm apple cider. Did you get a list of the add ons? That was not included in our packet.

Re: Winter Garden Room Foxwood VS Milleridge

They wouldn't give me a list before booking so when they asked us to come up with something we wanted, we were pretty blind to the options. But after booking, they sent us a list of add-ons with prices.. Here's the link

You know my choice. We didn't get a lot of extras, we got wine on the tables and candles. We also got a reduced rate on Viennese hour.
