For a wedding held on 4/5/08. I was impressed, a house with plenty of rooms, large yard, pool table and swimming pool. Not a bad. As guests began to arrive and mingle, it became apparent a good majority of the home was intended for looks only. An employee seemingly herded arrivals like cattle to a rear area not suited for a large quantity of people. Outside was chilly and breezy and turned cold. Inside the house was also cold. I overheard an elderly guests inquire if the heat could be turned up only to be ignored by the hostess and again as she passed back through the room. Clearly this person was in charge and frantically ran about while placing food and telling ?the guests? to move chairs, put that pan here, and slide that over there, not once a please or thank you. The employees also were addressed unprofessionally, several were teenagers. She had the nerve to yell at child guests (two are my nephews) to ?get away from the food it?s not time to eat, what a professional. I am told by a bride?s maid her name is ?Teresa.? After the send off Teresa had the nerve to instruct people directly related to the wedding to clean up, ?you don?t want the bride and groom to return to this mess do you?? (What is she being paid for?) I laughed as I left for the evening. Oh let me not forget, the alcoholic beverages were brought in by individuals wanting to consume during the event and served by a hired bar tender. ?Teresa? rudely interrupted the groom while he speaks with me and other friends to make a complaint of a late arriving guest not up to par on the rules about taking the alcohol to the tender. Not a big deal, surely she had to be feeling pretty good by the end of the night not shy at all to make a few trips to the bar and partake of the alcohol brought by the guests. My point has been made. This is nothing more than something you could easily pull off in your own back yard with more comfort.
Pros: started out ok
Cons: Noise ordinance, unprofessionalism, seclusion if inside
