I've been married for a week. My DH and I will celebrate 7 years together next month so I was surprised that being married really does feel different. Its such a relief to have the wedding over and no more silly stuff to stress about. The day went by really quick. My only regret is that I drank too much and crashed early. I’m going to do a break down of all my vendors soon but wanted to start with Edgefield since someone just asked about them.
They were typical McMinnamins quality. Nothing bad but of course nothing over the top great. Overall, it was a beautiful ceremony and reception site and good prices so I’d recommend them. The food was good and everything happened on time.
Here were the not so great things:
- There were some things we had talked about with the staff before the wedding but not bothered putting in a new banquet order. Then on the day of the wedding the staff pointed to the banquet order as the only thing they could follow. I guess that’s a good lesson for any venue though. Everything should be in writing.
- It did specify in our contract that we weren’t going to host shots for guests. A few friends told us the bartender lined up shots for people and put it on our tab.
- They put someone else’s restaurant bill on our room charge and when we explained that wasn’t ours the person at the front desk took the charge off and said that happens all the time.
- One person at the front desk couldn’t find any of the rooms in our block and once it was sorted out the person said that rooms under a wedding block get lost all the time.
- They upgraded us to a romance package we didn’t ask for and then changed us an extra $50 for putting a bottle of champagne in our room.
- Guests who didn’t go out of their way to put down their own credit card had their rooms charged to our card automatically. It all got straightened out, but it was a hassle.
