    I am!  And according to my ticker, in less than 4 months, ahh!  I love it up there and Tracy is so helpful. Are you going to the tasting on March 6th?  We'll be at the 3pm, can't wait to try the food and pick our menu.   :^)

    Sweet!!  I havent had a lot of interaction with Tracy yet...our date isnt until October...our 6 month meeting is coming up in April!  I`ll be at the tasting as well on the 6th at 3pm.  Glad to hear you have had some good experiences with tracy so far!!  Are you getting married there or somewhere else?

    Tracy is great!  It is like getting a free wedding co-ordinater, it really impresses me that not only is the place afforable, but her services are included, it is priceless. I have only had one meeting, but she emails answers to my questions all the time, and I know she and the staff will do an amazing job the day of the wedding.  I will be getting married on site at the Gazebo (and doing the boat ride after the ceremony!), and they even provide staff at the front entrance to send people to the Gazebo, and a person with a golfcart to bring any elderly people down to the ceremony, etc., they really take care of everything.

    October will be lovely there with the lake and the leaves!

    I'm getting married there in July! Our ceremony is at the gazebo as well. I'm so excited! We contacted the Hampton Inn in Smithfield (near Bryant University) and they gave us a great room block rate for guests (and us!).  We're going to the food tasting too! But at 12:30 :(

    Oh I didn't even check prices at the Hampton, what rate did you get? I saw it got good reviews on Tripadvisor but I was kind of worried when I drove up and saw the gravel pit operation, so I didn't go in.  I got a block at a reduced rate at the Marriot just down the road for $125 (I think like $140 with tax), but it doesn't include breakfast which is a bummer, and it is a few minutes further from CL.  I also set up at block at the Holiday Inn, too, in case people needed a more affordable option (it is like $100).  I really wish there was a hotel a little closer to it!  Are you doing any kind of shuttle thing?  Def not in my budget.

    I can't wait till the tasting, just a few days now!

    Hi I am an old nottie :( I got married in september at Crystal Lake. The day couldn't have went better. Tracy is awesome we had a few problems with the cake and flowers and she fixed everything before I even knew about it. I got married at the gazebo as well and it was perfect. We took the boat ride and that was perfect. The whole day was perfect. I know you all with have a perfect day also. Good luck

    Not sure if you will even see this. I am an "old knottie" as well. Got married in May 2007 at Crystal Lake. I do not have one negative thing to say. It was perfect and Tracey was perfect! We got married at the Gazebo and a guest at my wedding loved it so much that she got married there last year. You won't be disappointed.
