The Verdict and opinions on Harrison House

Well, we went to Harrison House over the weekend and fell in love. 150 Guarantee or not...we were sold on the game room!
Just one question for anyone who has attended a wedding there.
Cocktail hour consists of three buffet stations and 8 passed hors d`oeuvres...
I got a detailed menu of what is considered a 'station' and on paper it *seems* a bit sparse.
(i.e. carving station = 1 type of meat; Asian Station= lo mein OR sweet and sour chicken) this isn`t the menu, just an example.
So for anyone who has attended or HAS HAD a wedding there...was there enough food during cocktail hour? And how was the food? Would an extra station (TWO meats instead of one) be too much?
I`m only asking this because most of the Catering Halls give a SMORGASBOARD of food. I hate wasted food but I don`t want my guests to be hungry.
We`re considering an extra station, depending on how much extra $ it would be. Or maybe if we fall 30 people short of the guarantee we might try to negotiate a bit more than extra hors d`oeuvres
(IT IS an extra $3000+ we`d be paying for 'nothing')
Thanks a lot! :)

Dear Susan,
The Harrison House is a wonderful place, and definitly an excellent choice. The cocktail hour, may seem like not enough food, but with the passed hors d'oeuvres, it is more then enough, at every affair Ive been to there, not to mention that the food is soo good. Don't worry about it, and I would definitly recommend, not getting any extras during the cocktail hour, because there will be enough food. I hope this helps, and good luck with all of your wedding planning, and when yo are ready to book entertainment, I look forward to hearing from you.

Do not worry about the cocktail hour.They do not over do the food during the cocktail hour thus avoiding the problem of guests not able to enjoy ther dinner because the are already full.When you are ready to arrange for the music please feel free to contact my office for DJ or Band.
