Hi everyone,

Just recently got engaged and am starting to look at ceremony/reception sites for fall 2011. I'm really interested in Gale Woods Farm...anyone had their wedding there?

They have a list of caterers to choose from and one of them is Famous Dave's which my fiance is excited about. Has anyone used them?

Thanks!

Jessica

    I haven't personally used Famous Dave's, but they catered my cousin's August wedding at Izaty's Resort, and the food was good. The chicken was a little awkward, but everything else tasted great, there were tons of leftovers and the staff was really nice.

    Gale Woods Farm looks ridiculously cute. I love farm weddings!

    Hey Jessica! When we were looking to book our venue, we LOVED Gale Woods Farm!!! Unfortunately, they were booked up for our Oct. 2010 dates. But I think it would be a seriously awesome place. I think there was an issue with music being played past 10 or something, too, that you might want to check into. We're going with the Little Log House in Hastings - you might like that if you like Gale Woods.

    As for Famous Dave's, let me just preface this by saying I used to be "Famous Debbie" when I worked there for over 3 years. I LOVE the food, and it would go great with a venue like Gale Woods.

    If you're wondering about places similar to Gale Woods (I'm calling it "rustic elegance"), I have a whole spreadsheet of options we were looking at with notes and info on each. PM me with your email and I can send it to you if you'd like.

    HTH!

    Beka - I think we have a lot in common -- besides just our wedding dates! :)

    Thanks for the replies! I love the look of Gale Woods Farm, I'm curious to see what the inside of the barn looks like. And I'm glad to hear Famous Dave's has good reviews. My fiance is really excited about having a farm/BBQ wedding!

    Debbie - I had actually sent you a PM the other day because I saw your post about the spreadsheet in someone else's thread, so I already have the spreadsheet. Thank you so much, it has some places I hadn't come across in my research.
