    Yes.  It was nice.  Not spectacular.  Food was decent.  Cocktail hour was a little light in terms of food.

    Room was pretty, had a rustic feel.  Staff was good.  I enjoyed it.

    No I haven't, but we were looking to have our Rehearsal Dinner (now luncheon) there.  It is a very pretty area and the food in the restaurant I hear is fabulous!  I've only eaten at the sister restaurant, which was ok.

    I've never attended a wedding or other event there, but FI and I checked it out as a possible reception site because my mom wanted us to.  The wedding coordinator/sales person had an attitude because we were about 1/2 hour early for our appt (and I called ahead to see if it was ok, otherwise we would have killed time doing something else), the outdoor ceremony space was gorgeous, the indoor backup ceremony space left a whole lot to be desired and the room smelled very musty, the reception room was pretty but like pp mentioned it was "rustic".  We had a concern about guests using the old stairs because we have a few older relatives who would have difficulty with them.

    Overall, it wasn't horrible but it wasn't what we were looking for.

    I am getting married there in June.  FI and I love the area and got engaged there.  The food is great and the staff is very helpful.  The coordinator that Miguelhilary is talking about is no longer there.  She was horrible, kept asking FI and I if we were sure we wanted to get married to each other bc the deposit is non-refundable.  The new coordinators are awesome and very accommodating.

    haha I don't ever want anyone to lose their job, but when you're in sales you should have a better personality/attitude than her.

    Yes. It was great. The food was really good and we took pictures by the bridge and carousel. Really really nice.

    i just went to a wedding there in November and for a fall wedding this place is gorgeous it's very rustic feeling.  The food was decent.  The wedding we went to had 135 people and it was kinda cramped so if you have more than 150 I would not recommend it.
