  We are having our wedding there this November and so far have had a fabulous planning experience.  Vanessa, who works with you once you've booked the venue, is very accessible and very friendly.

  One of my friends had her wedding there. She was very happy with how everything turned out. The only thing I would suggest that you consider is the layout of the venue. With the separation of the dining area and dancing area, older guests or those who are not dancers are isolated from where the entertainment is, as in the dancing room there is little standing/sitting space. This could be uncomfortable for them. That totally depends on your guestlist though. If it's majority a younger crowd or in general a smaller guestlist this won't be an issue.

  We looked there , it  was the best view I have ever seen ! It was really breathe taking and everypne was nice. We didnt choose it because we didnt like the setup.. they gave you a certain amount of time to eat and then they move you and you arent allowed back in the room where u ate...plus we wanted a hotel . Buut it was gorgeous

  I just got married there in April and the wedding was amazing!! I would suggest working with the layout and not against it. We opted for stations with un-assigned seating and used both rooms. It was great and everyone was REALLY happy! 

  
  

  I can't imagine having a better wedding! Great food, great people to work with, and everything went off without a hitch!

  <div>This exactly. I felt like the staff rushed us through dinner to get us over to the "entertainment area." The bride and groom hadn't even finished going around to each table yet. I would have wanted the coordinater to at least check in with me before announcing to everyone that it was time to switch rooms. And there really wasn't much seating, so that's something I would have asked for more of as well. But the views were amazing, and I believe they let you bring in your own alcohol, or at least the groom's parents took what was leftover.</div>
