Re: Reviews on the Rockleigh??

  • I was married Sept 2013 at the Rockleigh in the Bristol Room.  It was wonderful & everyone to this day says hands down it was the best wedding they have ever been to.  My newly engaged friends actually are looking to get married there next fall because they fell in love with it when they came to our wedding.  It is pricey, but worth it in service, atmosphere, FOOD.  I had the sushi bar with kimono girls, Viennese hour, cigar bar.....whatever I wanted (within reason), they were willing to give me.  The ONLY issues I had was that at the end of the night, people were walking out with the crystal candle holders that belonged to the florist & one of the Rockleigh employees told them they could have them.  WRONG! So I had to run out & stop them before I had to pay for all the missing floral accessories.  That's it.  They renovated the whole place, now it is even MORE BEAUTIFUL, & I am jealous lol  wish I could get remarried there.  

    As for vendors, DO NOT DO NOT go with Petals Premier/Adam Leffel.  I almost cried on my wedding day because they messed up my centerpieces and the bouquets looked like the flowers were wilting, the roses were bruised.....for the money we paid, we deserved better.  Thank God for a good photographer, he made them look nice in the photos.  Do not feel pressured into thinking you have to pick a vendor from their preferred list.  All it means is that those people on the list paid the venue to have their names listed on it, and when they get used, the venue gets kick back on the referral.  I suggest MDS Floral, Pedestals, Atlas. I do not suggest Petals Premier, The Flower Gallery in Chester, A Touch of Elegance (toooo expensive) , AW Flowers in Lyndhurst (cheap work in my opinion & for what I wanted, was not going to save much money going with him compared to others).  I had Craig Scott Entertainment for DJ, they were ok. Message me if you would like to talk some more in private.  I can write a novel LOL.
