Beautiful
venue
that
lacks
a
few
things
here
and
there.
The
wedding
we
attended
was
great
and
I
believe
everyone
had
a
good
time,
but
the
venue
really
prevented
a
good
flow
and
the
temperature
was
uncomfortable
for
a
good
portion
of
the
wedding.
Let’s
start
with
the
outside,
the
gardens
are
pretty
and
well
manicured
and
the
venue
can
accommodate
a
decent
amount
of
people
for
an
outdoor
event.
However,
there
is
absolutely
no
shade
for
any
of
the
guests.
On
a
hot
sunny
day
this
can
make
for
a
miserable
experience
for
the
guests
and
even
the
wedding
party
during
the
ceremony.
Along
with
that
several
of
the
guests
were
stung
by
bees
and
a
number
of
us
were
getting
eaten
up
by
mosquitoes.
Chalk
that
up
to
it
being
near
the
end
of
summer
on
a
hot
day.
The
mansion
interior
had
a
really
awkward
flow.
The
tent
and
the
“ballroom”
are
completely
separated
from
each
other
with
a
ramp
being
the
only
access
point
between
the
two
without
having
to
go
outside
and
around
the
mansion.
This
made
for
lengthy
delays
in
between
events
happening
between
each
room
with
everyone
having
to
shuffle
back
and
forth.
On
top
of
that
there
wasn’t
a
ton
of
room
on
the
ramp
for
people
to
get
past
each
other
and
of
course
made
for
a
collection
spot
at
the
top
of
the
ramp.
Depending
on
how
many
guests
are
at
the
wedding,
the
tent
can
also
feel
cramped
with
people
almost
being
on
top
of
each
other.
The
air
worked
great
in
the
tent
and
was
very
comfortable,
but
the
air
circulation
throughout
the
rest
of
the
venue
was
very
poor
and
it
was
extremely
hot
a
majority
of
the
time.
The
exterior
of
the
mansion
was
beautiful
and
has
a
very
serene
backdrop
for
photos.
The
circular
drive
way
allowed
for
proper
traffic
flow
and
easy
drop
off
and
pick
up
of
guests.
The
parking
lot
and
driveway
itself
had
several
potholes
and
grass/weeds
growing
through
the
asphalt
that
is
overdue
for
some
repaving.
There
was
also
a
weird
smell
(kind
of
rotten
and
fishy)
coming
from
the
vents
from
what
I
assume
was
the
kitchen
area.
This
smell
was
the
first
thing
that
you
smell
when
you
arrive
at
the
venue
in
the
parking
lot
and
it
lingers
out
towards
the
front.
Overall,
the
venue
is
pretty,
very
convenient
to
get
to
and
we
did
have
a
good
time.
Giving
it
a
scored
I’d
say
it’s
a
3.5-3.75,
but
since
google
doesn’t
do
half
stars
I
rounded
up.
For
those
looking
to
rent
the
place:
keep
in
mind
the
amount
of
time
you’re
given
to
set
up,
tear
down,
get
ready,
etc.
they
were
very
strict
with
these
hours
with
absolutely
no
leeway
what
so
ever.
This
is
very
important
when
talking
to
your
vendors.
They
also
started
tearing
down
the
venue
before
the
official
end
and
forced
several
people
out
of
the
tent.
Keep
in
mind
how
many
people
you
plan
on
having
as
I
believe
the
numbers
they
have
listed
that
it
can
accommodate,
it
would
be
extremely
crowded.
I
believe
we
were
around
100
and
at
times
it
felt
cramped.
Nice
venue
but
it
has
some
qwerks
that
if
you’re
ok
with
you
will
have
an
excellent
event.
Just
posting
from
a
guests
point
of
view.
Thank
you!
