The Fox Hollow

I had visited a number of reception sites before I finally found Fox Hollow. The minute I walked into the lobby and saw the Winter Garden Pavillion I knew that it was "THE ONE." After speaking with Angel over the phone who gave us directions patiently for 45 minutes, we arrived and were greeted by the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. We met with Banquet Manager Frank Acierno, and he went over the menu while my MOH and BM and I watered at the mouth. The entire time the "price" was sitting in the back of my mind. I was praying that I wasn't setting myself up for disappointment as I knew I wanted my wedding here. After the menu reading, Frank gave me a price, and my jaw dropped to the floor. After I came to, I asked if he had made a mistake. He didn't, and I pulled out my check book without batting an eye. To be fair to DH, I called him and told him the price, and he didn't even care what the place looked like - he said "book it now." That's what I did. A few weeks later, I came back with Mom, DH, and MIL. They fell in love with the grounds, the lobby, and of course the Winter Garden Pavilion. We then had dinner, and they asked me again if there was a mistake in the price. They just couldn't believe the quality and quantity at such an amazing price! Oh, and the grounds - gawgeous!

Fast forward to a month before the wedding, we speak with Jennifer N. who coordinated the final details - menu selection, cake selection, chair cover, and chocolate fountain! We loved Jenn! She was an absolute doll, and DH wanted her to become our best friend. She advised us on the best choices for the cocktail hour, the cake, and desserts, and every single selection was the BIGGEST hit at the wedding. We also requested our MD & Bridal Attendant at this meeting. We requested Angel (of course) and Jennifer. Unfortunately, Jennifer was unable to make it the day of, and had Jackie M. Jackie was absolutely amazing! The minute I stepped out of the limo, she was there. She had our drinks freshened constantly, she kept the GM's happy w/food and drinks, and literally had EVERYTHING in her "goodie bag." I mean, she had a curling iron...who carries that? Well, I guess a bridal attendant right? Anyway, it turns out that Angel was the MD at my Uncle's Wedding 9 years ago at the Chateau Briand! Talk about a small world! Angel was on top of everything the entire night. Jackie was on top of everything the entire night. Fox Hollow was simply amazing the entire night! Can you tell how happy I am with Fox Hollow? They had everything set up exactly how I asked. I did not run into a SINGLE problem with Fox Hollow. Every a week after the wedding when I remembered my shoes were missing, I called and spoke with a kind gentleman Jose, who found my shoes and a few extra favors and had them shipped to me! How honest is that? The food at the Fox Hollow speaks for itself. Simply put - tasty, delightful, fulfilling, scrumptious, and you just can't have one. I had the Filet Mignon AND Vegetable Purse, and DH had the Salmon. All THREE were delicious. Our guests were so full and so happy with the food, they didn't want to leave. We picked the Peach Melba as a dessert and we were surprised in how many guests ate it! We thought the cake and mini-Viennese was enough!

We picked a whipped cream icing for the cake, with vanilla custard and fresh strawberry filing. It was simply delicious. I say this as I feared the cake would not be good, as I had sampled it at a few Fox Hollow events I'd attended. We had plenty of cake and desserts to last us a

At the end of the night, Jackie put everything together, and walked us over to the Inn at Fox Hollow where we were staying. I had a piece of glass stuck in my foot, and that girl got up in there and took it out. I was actually fighting (friendly) with her b/c I was capable of doing it on my own, and would be a little freaked out touching someone else's foot! But, she did it, and I honestly love the girl! All in all - FOX HOLLOW WAS PERFECT. They exceeded my expectations 500 times over! few months.
