The Tides Estate

I cannot say enough great things about The Tides! They were amazing, from start to finish, and an incredible value. Our reception was in the recently renovated downstairs room and it was absolutely gorgeous--literally all of our guests commented on what a beautiful location it was. The outside grounds were amazing--can't wait to see our pictures because I know they will be gorgeous. Even in the fall, the grounds were immaculate and we took pictures in daylight and night time because it was so beautiful.We worked with banquet manager Tom and maitre d Steve and they were both fantastic! We couldn't possibly ask for a better experience.

beautiful place great food and service

I can't say enough about The Tides Estate. From start to finish everything was amazing. Mike, the maitre d' was at our side and waited on us hand and foot. As a paranoid bride who worries that things won't be perfect, I can say that it truly was (with the exception of our cake being a little tilted). The food was out of this world as was the service and the atmosphere.

Everyone at The Tides Estate was very accomodating and was a pleasure to work with. Tito managed all of our requests and made sure our reception mirrored who we were as a couple. He ensured that details from both of our cultures were reflected. Mike, our Matridee, was so polite, warm, friendly, caring, and FUN! He worked together seamlessly with our DJ, photographer, and videographer. The food was absolutely amazing! I am still receiving compliments from guests about the coctail hour, reception, and viennese hour. The Tides Estate was affordable and we are so pleased we celebrated our marriage there!

From start to finish, The Tides Estate made our wedding planning easy and memorable. They were always willling to go the extra mile to make sure that our wedding dreams came true. They were professional, courteous, and promptly returned phone calls. Every single meeting with them confirmed that we had made the best decision to have our wedding at The Tides Estate. They were extremely flexible and did everything they could to make sure that our weddin planning was as stress free as possible. It unexpectedly snowed on my wedding day, but that didn't phase The Tides one bit. Our wedding went on as planned, without a hitch. The food was phenomenal, the service was impeccable, and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. The general manager even added a few of his own decorative touches. I am proud to say that The Tides Estate is a wonderful place to get married...a place that my husband and I didn't have to second guess. We felt comfortable with the entire staff, and on our wedding day, each member of the staff made it their personal duty to ensure that we were taken care of and happy. Cheers to The Tides Estate!

One word to describe our 10/7/11 wedding at the tides "PERFECT". The team at the tides is incredible. From the moment we drove up the long paved, perfectly landscaped driveway, we knew we found our venue. Not to mention the inside, Amazing, Classy and Elegant. But most importantly, when your planning your wedding, you need a team of supporters and the Tides has that. Their staff is amazing! Tito, Tom, and Mike our Matre D' answered every question, executed every planning detail perfectly! When you have a venue that you can trust, it makes your day stress free and that much more enjoyable. Our 100 guests could not stop complimenting the tides everything about the tides. The food was Delicious and Plenty of it!! Your guests will be impressed with the Tides menu. There is so much food! Ladies, The Crystal Room had a huge Bridal Suite!! Perfect for big bridal parties. You will love the personal bartender in the suite, serving you anything you want to drink. We were able to enjoy the cocktail hour with our family and close relatives. Its a nice "get away" for you to freshen up throughout your wedding night. I went to see other venues like the Seasons, Chart House, and the Liberty House. For the price, location, menu and hospitality the Tides blew them all away! This is a must see. The gardens and main lobby are so beautiful. Great Picture location! Mike our Matre'D was on point with every detail for the night. We dropped off items to be used in our reception and his team decorated and displayed everything PERFECTLY! Anything my husband and I needed, Mike was always there for us. He did an amazing job!!Tito took care of every detail for our big day. Planning our menu, cocktail hour menu, cake, seating chart, ceremony, and time line. I am so happy we found not only the best banquet manager to work with, but we also made a new friend. He is the BEST!Susan and Xavier

I recently had my wedding reception at The Tides, and am so pleased with everything they did to make my day perfect! Leading up to the wedding, the general manager Tito was extremely helpful, listened to every request I made, and followed through on my vision. On the day of, he, our maitre d, and the entire staff, treated us and our guests like royalty. The venue itself is beautiful and impressive, but the service is even more impecible and the food is delicious (and abundant!). All of my guests were "wow'ed and so were my husband and I! If you book with The Tides, you won't have to worry about a single thing on your wedding day - they take care of everything beautifully!

We recently had our wedding at The Tides Estate. Everything was absolutely perfect! Our banquet manager, Tito, was very responsive to any questions that we had, and he was helpful throughout the planning process. We had our ceremony in the garden at The Tides, and it was beautiful. The food at cocktail hour was delicious, and everything was replenished during the hour. Everyone raved about how good the food was throughout the whole night. Our maitre'd, Mike, could not have been more helpful. From the afternoon when we were just taking pictures through the end of the evening, he made sure that my husband and I were satisfied and didn't need anything. He even helped my mom pack up her car with our gifts, cake, extra favors, etc. at the end of the night! I could not have been happier with our wedding day, and I would highly recommend the Tides to anyone looking for an excellent venue at a great price.

The Tides provided the most fanatastic day my daughter could have dreamed of. The service, food and gthe staff were excellent. Tito and Mike were there through out the day/evening to make sure everything was perfect. We have received numerous statements from family and friends, that it was the best wedding they have ever been at.
To Tito, Mike and the Tides staff, thank you again.
David and
Diane Tasker

Unsurpassed value!!! They made the whole wedding planning process as easy as they could make it. Executed a seamless transition to inside when the skies opened up 2 minutes before our ceremony. Steve, the maitre'd was phenomenal throughout the evening. The food was ridiculous and The Tides accommodated every request we made. Highly recommend!!!!!

We loved The Tides. Food was great, the staff was very friendly, and everyone had a blast! Def recommend them!

Do Not Use This Place!!!
At first everything was perfect, I used the downstairs room, beautiful, excellent and courteous staff, Aida was great! Tom did everything he could to make it beautiful and take away any headaches a bridezilla would have, until the end. After the wedding they were cleaning the bridal suite before I was able to get any of my belongings out. I informed Aida, and Christian of my missing new $400 phone, no one had seen it. Called after, nothing, wrote a letter to Tom and NO response. I noticed after checking internet usage after I left and calls to the Tides Estate, apparently a worker snatched it, I informed Christian and Tom of my findings and got no response, no call, no letter, nothing.. and I say.. who steals from the bride??? Apparently the Tides Estate workers do... BEWARE... they have a THIEF amongst them!

The Tides Estate is TRULY New Jersey's best kept secret! I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I went to 19 different venues before deciding on The Tides Estate for our reception location. Going into the planning process, I knew what kind of venue I was looking for. I know TOO many brides & grooms who were forced to go to parks or other locations to take pictures, because the venue did not have the 'look' or 'beauty' (outside), and missed out on their cocktail hour! My goal was to find a place where we can take BEAUTIFUL pictures inside (in case of, God forbid, rain) and/or outside. The Tides filled BOTH those requests! They have BEAUTIFUL gardens in the back for ceremony and/or pictures. The inside is JUST as beautiful! If I had ONE, ONLY ONE, SMALL (LITTLE) upset to mention it was that downstairs, where we had our party, they were in the process of replacing the floors. They unfortunately did not complete the whole floor and were forced to cover it up with rugs on top of rugs. I found out that a few of my guests actually tripped because the rugs were layered. But all in all, Tito and Steven were both EXTREMELY helpful, friendly, responsive and professional!!! And last but not least, the downstairs room, after all set up (lights, flowers, camera, action), it is JUST as beautiful as the upstairs. TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!! I too was concerned with making the mistake of picking downstairs but being that we only had 125 guests, the downstairs was PERFECT!!!! Oh, the cocktail hour food was ENDLESS!!!! Just as the trays were starting to get empty, the food staff was right there ready to fill it back up! Again, 19 places and this was the one that TRULY made me feel like a princess! Other venues made me feel like just another bride coming in for another wedding! RED CARPET FEEL AT THE TIDES!!!

We got married on sat. May 14, 2011 and the Tides was the most incredible venue. They truly paid attention to the little details. Every single thing we requested was taken care of. Our attendent, Steve was an A++++. He was absolutly amazing. Our cake was Stunning. Everyone raved about the food. People are saying it was the best wedding they attended!!! Thank you to the tides for a most memorable wedding night ever! Our sincerest gratitude...Check out the tides!!! The cost was unbeatable.

My wedding day at The Tides Estate was wonderful. All of my guests are still telling me what a wonderful time they had. My husband and I were treated like royalty all day and we can't say enough good words about the staff. I would recommend The Tides Estate for anyone who is looking to have a beatifully catered event!

I cant say enough about the TIDES!!! We fell in love!!! The gardens are absolutely beautiful! We had the pleasure to have our ceremony outside though it might have been a little chilly on our April wedding day. But so happy it wasn't raining! A huge thanks to both Tito & Mike!!! They made it all come together! Tito was a huge help with everything! He was so accommodating with our special menu requests. He always went above & beyond! And Mike was an amazing Maitre'd. He was so attentive to every detail. I can't tell you how many of our guest carried on about how beautiful the Tides was. Everyone absolutely raved about how crazy the cocktail hour and how delicious everything was from cocktail, dinner and the venetian hour!!! I wanna extend our appreciation and a huge thank you once again to Tito, Mike and all of Tides staff for making our day even that more special!!Sincerely, Griselda & Jeff Falkowitz

Everything was so fantastic at the Tides! We had a day wedding (cocktail hour began at noon) and it really was beautiful! Mike and Tito were a pleasure to work with--they made sure that my husband and I were always with drink in hand and happy. The grounds trully are gorgeous! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was! The only item that I would suggest they give you a heads up on/help with further is with collecting gifts. We had numerous guests whose envelopes with check were misplaced, or accidentally thrown away by waitstaff. This would probably be the case wherever you hold your wedding. My one reccomendation to a bride & groom would be to delegate 1 person and let everyone know that their ONLY job is to keep track of the gifts. All in all, I would 100% recommend choosing the Tides as your wedding reception location!

We have not booked our reception hall yet but we love the service we received from the staff at the Tides Estate when we walked in to inquire about our wedding. They did not miss a step when it came to proper customer service.

Day of everything went perfectly as far as the venue went...there were a few small things leading up to the day that I feel could have gone a little smoother...but they were very professional and worked with me every step of the way...all in all it was a beautiful wedding and I loved every second of it! People are still talking about how amazing the food was...I didn't expect so much!!! I was worried about the cake because I read bad reviews...I loved my cake...it was simple but gorgeous and delicious ... It was truly a night to remember!

Everyone raved about the wedding reception here. They took care of the bride and groom very well. With everything going on, the 5 minutes alone in the dessert room was the best!

LISTEN THIS IS SUCH A GREAT PLACE...... I ONLY PLANNED MY WEDDING IN FOUR MONTHS...YES AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I RECENTLY HAD A RECEPTION THERE JULY 30, 2010.... RON FRANCIS IS THE BEST AND SO IS MIKE!! IF YOU LOVE ELEGANCE AND SOPHISTICATION THEN THIS IS THE PLACE.... DON'T BE FOOLED BY BAD FEEDBACK... THIS IS A MUST SEE IN PERSON. ITS THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF FRANKLIN LAKES. I USUSALLY DON'T WRITE REVIEWS BUT IF I EVER HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY OR ANY OTHER EVENT IT WILL BE HERE...CALL THEM TODAY!!

The Tides Estate "wowed" our guests with food----from our cocktail hour, sit down dinner to viennese table.....It was amazing....not to forget the 5 hr premium open bar.Our matre'd steve is very good and attentive. Ron had been good to us as well. Everybody had a great time. Thank you, the tides.

Can't say enough great things about The Tides. Scott and the staff at The Tides made our planning simple and fun! The grounds were beautiful, the food was great, the staff was exceptional. I would reccomend anyone to get married at The Tides. We also used their invitation store to order our invites. I picked our the invitation and Zihara did the rest! Again, so helpful and easy to work with. Thanks for a beautiful wedding!

It has been almost 3 weeks since my wedding, and so many people are still talking about how wonderful my wedding was. Everyone commented on how great the cocktail hour was and how great the service was. I would recommend the Tides to anyone who asked. Being married in March, we got an awesome deal...you can't beat it!

They were wonderful. On my day, they took care of everything for me and I did not worry about anything. I was married during the day on a Saturday which took the cost down per person. They always answered my emails right away and they were actually the first reception venue that got back to me when I was looking to see the venue. The food is amazing and I am just hoping that someone I know will get married there so I can go back.We also had the ceremony there and the outside was beautiful. We took amazing pictures by the statues and the iron gates.

I love The Tides Estate since the day I walked in. It has a beautiful ground and garden that we are looking for after going thru many many places. We worked with Tom the entire time and he's very very responsive to our requests and very flexible (we love that). If we have any questions, we email him and he responds within couple of hr. We went to many many other places and they all are very hard to work with and the place is not as nice. We booked the upstair room and ceremony is outside. We had about 150 guests and it's perfect for upstair. Everything is very organized and beautiful.

The price is very reasonable for the amount of food that they offered. I still have people till today telling me how much fun they had at my wedding and how great their food were, and our wedding was 9/18/09.

Our Matradee Mike is awesome, very polite and very responsive during that day. I don't think he said no to any of my requests that night lol. Even my mom told me he's very nice to them and that's very very important to me. Parent don't speak much of english, but Mike never ignore them he keep asking if they need anything and help them whichever they need even there's language barrier. Usually people just ignore them since they don't speak much of english, but not Mike. Everything went on time just the way we wanted, and the wedding just floats really well.

Overall I would do it again with the Tides. Cocktail hour, main course to the Viennese Table everything is perfect. We actually got a taste of everything from cocktail to Viennese table thanks to Mike.
Oh did I mentioned that our pictures are very pretty from the Tides too!!

Tertula2 can you please let me know about how much money you spend at this place and for how many people?. thank you so much

Incredible venue! Tom Austin, our banquet manager, and Steve, our Maitre'd were both excellent. We received SOOO much for our money and all of our guests commented on how fabulous the food was. Every accommodation we asked for, we received. We cannot say enough good things about the Tides. We recommend it to anyone who is looking for a lavish affair without spending lots of money.

Scott is the best, the place is beautiful, just make sure the cake is fresh (ours was not) and tell Mike to let you have a final walk through before the reception.

My guests can stop raving about The Tides! It is such a stunning place that provides outstanding service. My husband actually found the place and fell in love with it immediately. It was my third place and I understood why he had fallen in love with it. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the inside was breathtaking. We worked with Tom the banquet manager and he was so helpful throughout the whole wedding process. After our food testing we knew that the food was going to delicious. On our wedding day, 4/25/09, Mike our Maitre‘d was so attentive, very professional and made us feel taken cared of. Tom was also there to make sure everything was on track. I’ve been married only 5 days and I am still hearing about how great the food was and how much food there was at the cocktail area and Viennese table. One coworker actually wants to renew her vows at the Tides now! I highly recommend the Tides. The grounds are so beautiful, the inside is gorgeous and the service is exceptional. There’s no comparison especially if you are on a budget!

The Tides was awesome. We booked with Tito and he was always available for us.

The Tides Estate had everything that I was looking for in a wedding venue. It has a beautiful area for an outdoor ceremony, which was a must have for me. The day of my wedding my Maitre D was incredible. From making sure that my favorite drink was in my hand to wiping cake off my face, he made sure I felt like royalty all day long. The food was amazing. To this day people still comment on how good the food was at my wedding. The cost was unbeatable compared to other venues in the area. I was able to have my "princess wedding" without breaking Dad's wallet!

The Tides made our wedding day the best day of our lives. Everything was beautiful. The food was excellent. Our Banquet Manager, Steve really took care of us. I've heard so many people who have been married in the past complain about not getting the chance to eat the food they paid for and I was expecting the same. Steve actually made sure that we had the chance to enjoy our cocktail hour and dinner. They also did a Beautiful job with our cake as well! The only complaint I heard at the end of the night was that there was too much food. All in all...if I had to do it again, I would definitely choose the Tides for my wedding reception. Ask for Tom. He was very laid back and not pushy at all. He takes you from soup to nuts on what you can expect if you book your reception with them.

We were extremely happy with The Tides Estate. Tom was very accomodating on every last detail and we did not have even ONE minor complaint at the end of our night. Our guests were overly complimetary on everything from the food, to the decor, waitstaff service, etc. They provide an immense amount of food, delicious food at that, for the price and beauty of the atmosphere, I'd highly recommend you considering it for your wedding.

Everything was wonderful, they took great care of the bride and her father. Price was reasonable, we definately had the feel of a lavish wedding but without the lavish cost. Their outdoor ceremony area is beautiful.

The grounds were beautiful outside and inside. The food was great, including the complimentary tasting. They work well to make your wishes and wants a reality. Affordable for the mod-expensive wedding. The rehearsals, planning, and day of the wedding all ran smoothly. only one thing, hire your own baker for the wedding cake, it wasn't that impressive granted it was included in our package. Fantastic location, definitely recommended.

I highly recommend this venue. The food was fantasic and no one could believe how much food there was. Scott is great to work with. The grounds are beautiful and the reception area is too.

The Tides was a beautiful place to get married for a reasonable price. Only one other wedding was occurring simultaneously and there wasn't much mix up which was good. The cocktail hour was WONDERFUL but the actually dinner was not as great. Overall I give them an A-.

I do not recommend the bakery at the Tides Estate to do your Wedding Cake. I gave them a picture of what I wanted my wedding cake to look like and I was very dissappointed when I saw the results. My wedding cake did not look anything like the picture I submitted. I requested 4 layers and they did 3 layers. I was not only dissappointed but it showed that their baker did not follow instructions very well. The Viennese Table at my reception was very cheap, empty and repetitive. If you book the smaller downstairs room be very careful because the Viennesse presentation will not be what you expect. My suggestion will be to make sure you get what you paid for. This was my least favorite at of whole wedding reception.

Everything was perfect. Just ask for Scott. He was the best.

I was married this past May at the Tides Estate in North Haledon, NJ. There was nothing I did not like! They were wonderful from day one. I did not feel as though they were pushy, I had some special requests ( a choclate fountain) and they were able to get one for me. The people were very friendly and professional. The day of our wedding our Maitor D was absolutly wonderful, and I did not have to worry about a thing. The food was fabulous, and got rave reviews from the guests. The grounds were beautiful as well.

This place was just gorgeous. The staff are highly professional and efficient. The food was delicious!

Great place, service was wonderful and they were very helpful. The price is outstanding!

Great place! Got a lot for our money and the staff and food were unbelivable

My experience at The Tides Estate in North Haledone, NJ was superb. The Tides' staff was extremely professional, and as a result my planning process was very simple and stress-free. The food and service were equally outstanding. We had many options when it came to food choices, and we were extremely satisfied with our selections and the execution of the menu. Leading up to the event, it was very easy to communicate with the staff so we felt comfortable that our day would run smoothly. On our wedding day, we did not have to worry about a thing. The staff took care of everything they encountered, from adding place settings and chairs to tables with more than anticipated guests to making sure our beverages were filled to the brim throughout the night. My husband and I felt like we were treated like royalty. I recommend The Tides Estate to anyone looking for professionalism, excellent services, delicious food, high-quality treatment for a more than reasonable price, and a wonderful wedding experience.

The tides was excellent. The food, the service, A++++People are still talking about how great the food was!!

The Tides Estate was AMAZING for both our outdoor ceremony and indoor cocktail hour and reception! From the initial meeting through the very last minutes of the reception, the food, the staff, the decor and the overall ambiance were exceptional. The cost fit into our budget, they worked with us on dates, and gave us knowledgable vendor contacts and there was no pressure to book.Our wedding day could not have gone better!! The grounds were beautiful, the altar set up was stunning. The staff was exceptionally accomodating, they held my hand through every step, keeping my nerves in tact. Steve, our Maitre'D was the BEST! When I was nervous, he calmed me down, he made sure I ate, he discreetly got my attention when we had to take pictures or cut cake, etc. He made sure I was happy and enjoying my own wedding. He improvised when we couldn't do things "in order" due to late participants. I got so many compliments from our guests on the outdoor wedding setting, the cocktail hour, the dinner, dessert, decor... everything was Perfect!

The garden was a perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony. The food was excellent and the reception hall was beautiful. The staff catered to all of our needs.

I LOVE THE TIDES ESTATE, IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH SCOTT. I CANNOT SAY MORE, I WISH WE WENT WITH THE ROOM UPSTAIRS INSTEAD OF DOWNSTAIRS IS MY ONLY NEGATIVE COMMENT. EVERYONE IN MY PICKY FAMILY LOVED THE FOOD. I LOVED MY CANOLI FILLING CAKE, IT WAS THE BEST CAKE I EVER HAD. IF YOU CAN, GO WITH THE ROOM UPSTAIRS.
SORRY FOR THE CAPS, MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK. LOL.

The Tides was an amazing place. My wedding turned out perfect. The maitre D is amazing, I dont know what I would have done without him...If you go ask for Scott and only deal with Scott. The other guy is an A-hole

Ceremony:

The outdoor ceremony was beautiful! We loved the flowers & they way our ceremony was set up. They did a fabulous job!


Reception:

Everything with the Tides was perfect. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire process. I got several extras thrown in for free. You just have to ask. The Tides is very reasonable & you get a lot for your money. Our ceremony & reception were perfect! Not a thing went wrong. The staff made sure Will & I were well taken care of the entire day. We could not have picked a more perfect place for us.

The Tides made our wedding perfect! The cocktail hour was amazing with all of their food!! They really did a great job on everything for our wedding!

The Tides is an absolute gem! We couldn’t be happier with the outstanding service we received. Scott was our banquet manager, and he was great to work with – very enthusiastic, and prompt to respond to any questions I had. He was also very easy to negotiate with and made it possible for us to get all the "extras" we desired. Mike was our maitre d’ and he was equally fabulous- so responsive to everything we needed, very professional, and all around overly accommodating. The ceremony site is gorgeous in my opinion, and they did a lovely job setting up the chairs. The cocktail hour is amazing – there is SO much food! All of our guests were very impressed with the amount of food in general, as well as the high quality. I would HIGHLY recommend adding on the Viennese hour to any future brides. You will be shocked by the amount of desserts they provide and it is a very decadent way to end the evening. To top it all off, The Tides was also one of the most reasonably priced reception locations we looked at. Overall, I would have zero hesitations about recommending The Tides to anyone and if you have booked there you will not be disappointed!

My wedding day was supposed to be outside in gorgeous gardens, however it rained for about 15 days including the day of the wedding. The planner was unwilling to work with us on where we would get married. As luck would have it, there was a major crash on the only highway leading to the location which ended up with road closures and an hour back up. Because of this, my mother-in-law was late getting to the ceremony. The entire time, the planner kept coming in and telling us that we had to start without her. When I refused, they proceeded to cut my cocktail hour in half and then try to end early even though we had paid for 6 hours ( not the normal 5). Eventually my father had to threaten to sue them and stop payment on our final check. They made me cry several times that night and in general ruined my wedding day.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED everything about the reception!!!! I wouldn't have changed a thing! Scott, the catering manager, was so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. We went for our tasting and didn't love a few things (i.e. skin on the eggplant, the mortadella, etc.) but we spoke with him and everything was fixed the day of. The day of, the banquet manager (who's name I forget) was so professional and efficient. I didn't have to ask for a thing. He made sure that I always had a drink or food.

Everything was wonderful; they even made eggplant parmesan just for me because I'm vegetarian. The only problem we had was that we had a kid (the ring bearer) with a very serious peanut allergy, so I asked that there be nothing with nuts or peanut butter anywhere because he could have a reaction if somebody ate peanuts and breathed on him. First of all, the guy was confused as if he'd never heard of a peanut allergy, then he agreed, but then there ended up being peanut butter cookies at the dessert table. So be wary if you have any serious allergies in your party. Otherwise, everything was great!

Our wedding was at the Tides Estate. It was a beautiful July 3rd day and we were able to make use of the outside gardens for our actual wedding ceremony. The place was well kept and the gardens well maintained.We were making use of the bigger upstairs room for our party. The cocktail room is a little smaller than one would hope for considering the size of the adjacent room. However, provided it is nice out, you can make use of the outside area too. We had some overflow tables that went out into the hallway, which wasn't ideal, but it's only a cocktail "hour." Everyone always tells people "oh your wedding was great" so it's always difficult to gauge how people really think. However, people I know are the type who would be honest with me and not one person had anything bad to say. They all raved about the food and our band.The only negative thing I can say about the place is that the gardens backup to some houses through the trees. If the trees could fill in a bit more you wouldn't be able to see them at all. However, the place is gorgeous and they are very good at keeping people happy and being flexible.

A wonderful venue with great food,caring staff, and beautiful gardens. I highly recommend it as one of your top choices.
