Pros: I like the crystal chandaliers and the draped celiing in the reception room.
Cons: The ceremony site is okay. I like the garden area better, but its farther away and the gazebo area is RIGHT outside of our room. So if we don't use it, someone else might making their wedding outside of our room.

oh and plus no one in our group yesterday really liked it.

Site 2: The Hotel

Pros: Nice clean reception room, love love love the bridal suite and the little mini-mansion like bed and breakfast inn its in, I'd be able to have mixed drinks, good pictures spots on the property.
Cons: Kind of dim in the room - Hardly any of my pictures on my camera came out nice, I'm not too crazy about the ceremony area - plus that fountain is loud (and shaped like a giant penis...), unknowledgeable staff, might end up being more because no one was able to answer all of my finance questions, The reception room we'd end up going with is not my favorite one there, but the one I like is the big fancy room - the 200 person minimum room and it has a very high food minimum

Pros: Close to home, pretty garden area, friendly staff
Cons: Everything would be outside, everyone would be in the same area the WHOLE time (even watching us take pictures), Only beer, wine, champagne served - no alcohol I'd drink, granny style bridal suite.
