My
wife
and
I
recently
had
our
wedding
at
the
Grain
House.
Our
wedding
was
on
the
smaller
side
(less
than
75
guests)
and
we
didn't
feel
as
cared
for
as
a
larger
wedding
would
be.
It
ended
up
raining
on
the
day
of
our
wedding
(good
luck
I'm
told!)
but
we
were
ok
with
it
since
there
are
so
many
places
inside
to
take
pictures
anyway.
However,
they
were
extremely
overbooked
and
the
Grain
house
was
completely
filled
with
events
so
there
was
no
where
to
take
pictures
there.
When
we
tried
to
take
pictures
in
the
hotel,
we
were
repeatedly
told
"no"
because
apparently
the
larger
wedding
in
the
ballroom
took
precedence
over
our
wedding.
Our
photographer
had
to
take
most
of
the
pictures
in
our
hotel
room
and
just
wait
until
the
other
events
cleared
at
the
Grain
House.
The
real
issue
I
had
was
with
the
maître
d'
who
seemed
a
little
annoyed
the
whole
night
and
just
wanted
to
get
us
in
and
out.
When
we
sat
down
to
pick
food
options
with
him,
prices
had
gone
up
since
we
signed
the
contract
the
previous
year.
He
said
he
was
"doing
us
a
favor"
by
honoring
the
older
price.
From
that
point
on,
he
made
sure
to
tell
us
just
about
every
time
he
saw
us
how
much
his
"suggested"
tip
was.
Surely
I
would
have
considered
at
least
getting
close
to
it
(it's
a
comically
large
number)
if
we
thought
the
maître
d'
performed
above
and
beyond,
but
that
was
certainly
not
the
case.
He
did
the
usual
duties
that
a
maître
d'
does,
but
pretended
as
if
he
was
moving
heaven
and
earth
for
us.
The
waitstaff
had
to
even
picked
up
some
of
his
slack
and
was
fluffing
my
wife's
dress
before
she
processed
for
the
ceremony.
Various
parts
of
the
day
no
one
could
even
find
him,
it's
almost
like
he
was
managing
the
other
events
as
well...
Since
it
was
raining
and
we
couldn't
have
the
ceremony
at
the
gazebo,
we
opted
to
have
it
under
the
tent.
The
maître
d'
kept
asking
my
wife
and
I
separately
if
it
could
be
moved
inside,
like
a
kid
trying
to
get
a
different
response
out
of
a
parent.
Unfortunately
for
him
we're
both
very
much
on
the
same
page
and
persisted
that
we
wanted
it
under
the
tent.
Annoyed,
and
well
aware
that
it
was
a
cooler
night,
he
made
absolutely
no
effort
to
bring
out
any
type
of
heaters
for
the
guests.
Don't
think
it's
just
us
complaining,
the
biggest
complaint
of
the
night
from
our
guests
was
the
lack
of
direction
from
the
maître
d'
outside
of
the
standard
wedding
flow.
For
the
usual
wedding
service
-
champagne
after
the
ceremony,
lining
the
bridal
party
up
for
entrances,
putting
our
seating
chart
signs
out,
etc;
our
maître
d'
was
good.
For
being
overly
accommodating
and
thinking
on
his
feet,
not
so
much.
The
waitstaff
on
the
other
hand
was
absolutely
10/10
and
was
super
attentive!
We
received
SO
many
compliments
on
the
quality
and
amount
of
food
so
compliments
to
them
and
the
chef!
The
only
ding
on
the
food
was
one
of
the
stations
for
cocktail
hour
that
we
added
and
paid
extra
for
said
that
it
came
with
sangria
which
ended
up
not
being
served.
The
front
desk
at
the
hotel
was
a
mess,
they
were
telling
guests
that
rooms
weren't
booked
when
in
fact
they
were.
Most
of
the
wedding
party
was
booked
in
the
same
section
of
the
hotel,
except
for
the
man
of
honor
who
was
booked
on
the
complete
opposite
side
of
the
hotel.
The
maître
d'
from
another
wedding
LET
HIMSELF
IN
to
our
suite
the
night
before
our
wedding
while
we
were
in
there
and
getting
ready
to
turn
in
for
the
night.
Overall,
we
were
not
disappointed
that
we
had
our
wedding
here,
it
was
a
wonderful
day;
but
I
would
be
very
skeptical
to
recommend
this
venue
to
others
to
have
a
small
wedding.
