* Its the top floor of a golf course clubhouse
* The ceremony area ( a balcony/veranda area overlooking the golf course) is really narrow - each row would be 2 chairs wide on each side of the aisle... and the aisle is tiny. My uncle and I are not tiny people.
* Something that really kind of makes me wonder is -
the minister would also be the dj... plus he runs the place. He seems like a nice person, but do I really want him doing everything?
* The reception area is okay, but the ceremony site isn't. I mean maybe if it was wider... I mean if we have 4 people to a row.. how many rows back would people be? Would they even be able to hear the vows??!?!
* Once the ceremony is over, they would disassemble the ceremony set up and put out cute little tables and chairs on the veranda. It would be a nice place to sit and get away from the crowd/dancing area.
* The menus are okay, but the one I like is about $7 more per person than the same thing but with gravy. I asked if we could leave the gravy off, and they would charge us an extra $7 per person to leave the gravy off.. WTF?
* Another thing that bugs me is this - it is an all inclusive type place - minister/dj/ceremony/reception/food/alcohol...etc.. but they don't guarantee the food price at all. The only amount of time they guarantee the food price for is 14 days. WTF? So if we have a reception booked a year later and we sign a contract, the food price could theoretically shoot up $50 a person... and we'd be stuck. That really irritates me.. and I dont know what they are thinking with that.
