Generally nice looking venue but it seems like the wait-staff management only got a minor in hospitality and management and feel like taking a party favor right out of wedding guests hands without any warning is an appropriate thing to do.

Apparently it's against PA's liquor laws for an establishment who sells alcohol to allow guests to open bottles purchased outside its venue. The bride and groom had alcoholic party favors that were placed on the tables beforehand, but none of the wait staff thought to inform the guests about this stipulation, and when I asked the manager she said that it's "not their responsibility to let us know." Despite it being their liquor license on the line.

No warning, no "hey we're sorry but you can't drink that in here, please put it in your car or we'll have to take it." Just all of a sudden someone's hand was reaching over my shoulder and taking wedding favors from the bride and groom straight off our table.

Oh and of course neither her nor her sass-talking lackey had name tags on.

Entirely unprofessional and poorly handled.
