Our wedding was wonderful.. we had a great time, and overall can't complain... For those who want to know... the only wrongs I can think of are; Cake was wrong, Hotel blocking was messed up followed by bad attitude when confronted, they let someone not staying in my friends room into her room without checking, and occasionally it was difficult to get a hold of my bridal consultant. Some of these things aren't the Halls fault so I still rated them fair.

We got married on 8/21/10 at the Country Gardens. Everything was wonderful and all had a blast. Suzanne was awesome and a doll. My bridal attendant was wonderful as well.

We knew from the second we walked in to the estate that it was exactly what we wanted - and luckily it was within our budget! The grounds are just beyond gorgeous and the staff is incredibly attentive and willing to answer any questions and deal with any problems you may have leading up to your wedding. The day of the wedding East Wind was INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!! There wound up being no other wedding on the grounds that day (except for an earlier wedding at the actual Estate), so we were able to use the grounds as early as we wanted for pictures. We were allowed at the Estate at 6:30 for pictures with our extended families (about 50 people total) and they immediately started passing out champagne to everyone even though we were 30 minutes early. Our maitre’d Scott and my bridal attendant Lisa were amazing. They dealt with any last minute cancellations with no problem (so there wouldn’t be any empty chairs at the tables). Lisa had a steady stream of food going into the bridal suite during the CH and she helped my mother bustle the dress. For dinner, Lisa brought us plates filled with a sample of ALL SEVEN dinner options – and they were all AMAZING. And during the Viennese Hour (which was AWESOME), she asked us what kind of desserts we liked, and went in and made us plates – there was a full plate of chocolate desserts sitting on the dais when I finished dancing. She then packed us up dinner plates to go since we didn’t get the opportunity to eat that much during the reception! And Scott was nothing short of phenomenal and could not have been more attentive. After the reception ended at 1, we all headed over to the bar at East Wind for a few more drinks and Scott noticed that the sprinkler had inadvertently turned on. Not wanting me to get my dress dirty – although at that point it basically was – he actually put his hand over the sprinkler head to keep my dry!! EAST WIND, SCOTT AND LISA WERE PHENOMENAL!!!

Our ceremony in The Country Gardens was beautiful! We were married on a July evening just as the sun was setting. Our guests enjoyed the outdoor cocktail hour before heading into the reception hall. Our coodinator, Elizabeth Hudson, could not have been more helpful. The East Wind was the perfect place for our wedding. :)

Eastwinds was great! The food was great! The bridal attendant, Mary Lou, was awesome!! She was the best part! She was so attentive! She made the experience better!
