The Service- The waitstaff was almost running through the reception. The lady would squeeze her way through a crowd with a loaded platter, and would pull away if anyone tried to get some food. it was not isolated either, she did this all night long. We had to encircle her to get her to stop. The entire night she was scowling at everyone and everything. Seemed like she was appalled at the prospect of having to do her job. This was the lady in her early 40's. The rest of the waitstaff appeared to be young, really young. One of the servers told us several of the female waitstaff were only 14 years old, and that is a very believable number.\r
\r
The Food - Seems they must frequent Sam's Club. Early in the evening they served very delicious sandwhichs. That lasted about 10 minutes before they progressed to items like Totino's pizza rolls. Unfortunatly this is no joke. Some of it was fantastic, most of it was not.\r
\r
The Drinks - Serving beer in a 6 ounce dixie cup is absolutely ridiculous. I can't honestly attest to anything else.\r
\r
The Music - Ended up being ok, but this is only because the wedding party provided the DJ with the music. He informed the party earlier in the week that due to Limewire's serviced being stopped due to a federal injunction, he would not be able to provide any of the requested music. When asked about being discounted because of this, the party was told 'No' because it was an all inclusive deal. DJ was terrible during the party as well. Who interrupts ""Shout"" or ""Thriller"" to make announcements. Nothing could ever wait a minute or two for the song to finish, and this was not at the behest of the wedding party either.\r
\r
Security - Stayed in the DJ booth most of the night. Several people at the party not recognized. \r
\r
The Facility - The setup was very nice. The layout and area reserved for the ceremony really did come out looking professional, and to this the place does deserve credit.\r
\r
PROS - Looks good, the host was very coordinated and knew what was going to happen and how.\r
\r
CONS - Waitstaff was rude, drinks were small, DJ was worthless.
