I attended a wedding in the courtyard. I had no idea where the wedding was when I arrived. There should have been signs. It was a super hot day and the only shade was a sun sail mounted over the chairs....directly over them. At 4pm, that meant about 1/3 of the chairs were in the shade. There was no microphone for the ceremony and the music could had transitioning/fading instead of just turning it off each time. The reception room was pretty, but small. Smthe sound system and mics must not have been set up completely in advance. As they were getting ready, they blasted some awful white noise in the speaker several times. My ears were burning afterwards from the pain and we we're probably only 30 ft from the speakers at a table when it happened. Serving staff were very nice. Cake was cut and out on a table, but they ran out quickly and didn't add more for awhile. That was kind of disappointing since eating the cake is part of the fun at the wedding. Part of our table didn't get cake and had to wait for more to be brought out. Overall, it could be a pleasant experience, but there were some really annoying parts that should be more thought out on behalf of the staff and facility. If I were getting married, I personally would not choose this location based on the experience that I had. I did not stay overnight and cannot comment on that part of the business.
