So basically, we are kind of deciding between the Double Tree Meadowlands in Washington and the Hilton Garden Inn in Southpointe. The Double Tree's package is more inclusive (i.e., cake is included [from a bakery I've never heard of, Krency's], floral centerpieces that I design are included, etc) but I haven't found any reviews on them really. We're (hopefully) touring the HGI this weekend and I know people who have been to weddings there and loved them. Has anyone ever heard anything about either place, good or bad? I really like that the package prices are around $75 a person (and kids meals are $20) and I have to stick close to I79 for my FI's family members from Erie (who refuse to drive into the city, sigh).
Thanks ladies! <3

When I looked at the Hilton Garden Inn, their minimum for a Saturday wedding was WAY out of my budget (I think it was like $20K). I don't know if that's still the case though.
That being said, I've been to a wedding there and it was beautiful. Have you looked at the Holiday Inn Meadowlands? That was my second choice :)

The Holiday Inn is now the Double Tree! Hotels change names way too quickly anymore.
Interesting about the HGI; they never told me about a minimum when I talked to them!

We are looking at both places as well. I have heard from many brides that the Doubletree Meadowlands is great! I have not heard anything about the Hilton Garden Inn so any information you have heard could you please share. I am still weighing my options on if an all inclusive would be cheaper then doing things separate. From what I have heard both florist and cake vendors are good, but I plan on making a meeting with them before I decide to book.

I'm Going through the same thing you are - I've heard J
Krency's bakery is good but I always wanted the priory...I don't know. They don't have a wedding planned until march at the DT. I'd really love to see it set up for a wedding.
I think it does suck the DT charges for the gazebo rental - I'm having my ceremony/reception all in the same place and it just seems like a way to simply make more money.

The minimum was on their website. I'm at work right now, but I'll see if I can find it. Another option is Rolling Hills Country Club. One of my BMs is getting married there in July :)
