At the end of our wedding day, my wife and I were hungry, and there was no food left for us in the room overnight. Guests only recently told us that the catering staff had started packing up the food before the wedding was even over. I had paid for full-service catering, but they packed away half of it. Watch out for their catering scheme, I got caught by it. (Wedding, May 2012)

The outdoor area looked nice and served as both an activity space and an outdoor ballroom, but the poor upkeep stood out. Some bulbs were burnt out, the lanterns weren't lit, and plants had overgrown. For a morning event, the metal roof might make it hot since it had no insulation. At the evening event I attended, parking was also an issue: guests with cars had to use the outdoor basketball court across the street. There's no wheelchair provision either, so someone would have to be carried up the narrow stairs to the receiving area.

It has a vintage but classy feel and is good enough for events. Visitors have no parking, though, and the restroom seemed like it hadn't been maintained. I'm particular about restrooms, so I wasn't really satisfied with that part.

It was a bit far, but once we got there, the place was breathtaking. It suits events where you want privacy with family, relatives, and friends, and the crew helped with what we needed. Hope this helps 😘
