Review content:
My fiancee and I recently got married at Sunset Gardens. We were blown away. The wedding was elegant, classy, and first-class. All our guests said it was one of the best they'd ever seen, and we agree. We got their ""Elegant Evening"" package, $99 a head got us a classy outdoor ceremony, a 1.5 hour cocktail party, live jazz band, a full reception with buffet dinner (3 entrees, 5 sides, salad, coffee), 6 hours of open bar with beer, wine, and premium liquors, DJ, cake, and more. And it all turned out great. THE GOOD: The facilities are beautiful, both indoor and outdoor (especially outdoor). The best is the lighted trees. The staff is incredible: Tony (owner) and Michelle (coordinator) are friendly and seem genuinely interested in making your wedding special. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and competent. The inclusiveness of the package: the DJ, priest, food, drink, were all provided. About all we had to get ourselves were a photographer and videogtrapher, flowers, and invitations (and they'll help you with all that). The food: GREAT! Seriously, the best prime rib I have ever had (and I've been to Lawry's). The Chef's Special Chicken, red skinned potatoes, salad, fruit trays, fettcine alfredo were all delicious. The price: At $99 a head you get a lot. May sound expensive but by today's standards it's a good price. THE BAD: Airplane noise. The property is located right under a busy flght path and can get noisy. We had 3 planes arrive during our ceremony. It's not that bad, most people barely noticed. But the potential is there for a giant 747 to come along right when you're about to say, ""I do."" Also, when we made the reservation we negotiated our way down to $95 a head from their usual $99 price, but months later when it came time to pay they denied having made such an deal and charged us the full $99. But in the end we were extremely satisfied and our wedding turned out to totally exceed our expectations.
Pros: Ambience, elegance, value for money
Cons: Airplane noise
