My husband and I had our wedding reception here on October 13 and it was out of this world. I could not have asked for a better experience. The entire event ran smoothly and if there were any issues, they never reached my ears.
Our families raved about the food. The bartenders operated smoothly and pleasantly. Our Maitre'D, Pam, was an absolute gift. I could not have gotten through the evening without her. Before cocktail hour began, Pam insisted that we take a tour of the atrium, the entrance room, and the ballroom. I am so grateful that we were able to see everything before our guests started to arrive and it was a very special moment for my new husband and myself. The fireplace behind our sweetheart dais helped to create a beautiful atmosphere.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Jennifer was very helpful in answering my questions and in helping me to organize everything that I needed to drop off before the reception. They were willing to hold all of our materials way in advance for us and held everything for us until the day after the wedding so that we could pick them up. The piano that they have in the corner is very nice and I loved being able to have a pianist during cocktail hour. Very classy.
Unfortunately, I did have a few small complaints. One, I do not think that the bakery they use for the wedding cake is very skilled at cake design. I was asked to supply decorations for my own cake (fabric leaves, ribbons, etc), while I had originally been hoping for edible fondant leaves and decorations. I spoke to the baker about creating a grooms cake for my husband and the baker was pretty much clueless about creating a slightly complicated cake design so I opted not to use them for the grooms cake. Our four-tiered wedding cake turned out lovely, but all they really did was put my ribbon and my leaves onto it. Not much effort there.
The carpet on the staircase and in the front room desperately needs to be updated or removed.
The only other issue that I had was the sound in the room. It seemed to me that the back corners of the room could barely hear our DJs music. This could have been helpful if I had known about it in advance (hello! stick the older people in the back corners so they don't complain about the loud music!), but not having been warned, I was disappointed that certain people could not hear the music as well as everyone else.
All in all, Milleridge was a dream. My wedding exceeded my expectations and almost everyone I dealt with there was wonderful. I am forever grateful and I will recommend them highly to friends and family. read more
