Due to the weather conditions we did not get a chance to view the outdoor space at the venue. The interior was spacious with multiple sectioned off rooms, bathrooms, and what appeared to be a coat check area. There were several tables setup in the main ballroom area. The tables were decorated nicely. There was also a table for desserts and a DJ area. The bar was huge with an extensive collection of alcohol. The food that was prepared by Rocky Top catering was amazing including the chicken dip and the shrimp and grits. I also enjoyed the cocktails. The strawberry basil margarita was really good. The service that we received from server, Michael C. was top tier. He was very personable, helpful, and made sure that we experienced the excellence of Rocky Top. I would definitely want him to work at any future events that we had. The event was great and I got to learn about other vendors that can be utilized when planning events. If you are in need of a venue for a corporate event, reception, wedding, shower, catering event, or other event definitely check them out.

I also appreciated that he made an effort to get to know each of us and made us all feel welcome. He even made his own posters to help enhance some of his stories and gave prizes for a few trivia-type questions! I thought the tour did a good job of highlighting the important places that make Raleigh, well, Raleigh. For a 3 hour tour (including a few bonuses), I'd say this tour was money well spent. I'm leaving with a better understanding of the city, some of it's hot tourist attractions, and some of its history. Aim for a day with good weather. While it is a bus tour, you do go outside and walk around to explore a few places. It would have been a bummer to take this tour on a rainy day because you'd lose out on the full experience. Wear comfortable clothes and definitely bring a camera. I think the only minor con (not even a full con, just something that made me laugh) was that it says a meal and a drink are included with the tour, but don't expect anything fancy. You stop at a little hot dog spot and get a homemade taste of one of the city's claim-to-fame drinks in a dixie cup. With that said, though, I highly recommend this tour!

It was elegant, yet not over the top. I also loved that they had a spacious patio, with beautifully strung lights that set a romantic mood. (The patio was also a perfect place for the younger kids to run around and get some energy out while the adults finished dinner.) But the beauty of the venue is not the only reason this venue was perfect. The staff here could not have been easier to work with and they really brought my wedding day vision to life. Marc and Janice are both pros at what they do and they made every request I had possible. Marc met with us multiple times to comb through the details and answer any questions or requests we had. And I felt incredibly comfortable and at ease when the wedding day did finally arrive. And for those who believe food is key to a great party: We knew we did not want crappy hotel food for our reception, so we stuck to visiting venues that had great reviews about their food - And the Garden on Millbrook was one of those places. We decided on the 3 entrée buffet which was made up of chicken florentine, brisket, and their signature shrimp and gouda grits. Along with the entrees, we had potatoes au gratin, steamed vegetables, rolls, a salad bar and coffee bar. Everyone raved about how good the food was! I know there is also the stereotype that the bride and groom never get to eat during their own wedding, but the staff here really takes good care of you and serves you separately to make sure that you get to eat. No hungry bride and grooms here! I could not be happier about the way our day turned out!

We hadn't even tasted the food at that point. Now that we have actually tasted the food, we're even more excited to be working with him. Everything was so delicious! Our photographer asked what other vendors we're using, and when I told her Marc's our caterer she said she loves him too! It's really nice to know our vendors enjoy working together, I think that shows a lot about their professionalism and quality of service. Our wedding isn't until August so I can't speak to the actual event yet, but Marc has already put in so much work and been so helpful I really wanted to give a review already! He responds so quickly to emails, it's like somehow his answer is already in my inbox as I'm hitting send. It's magic! He has offered really helpful support anytime I have questions about the menu and so many other things not at all related to the meal...scheduling, referrals, anything we ask, he's on it! It's very, very clear from his responses he truly knows what he's doing and yet he's incredibly tactful when offering suggestions. Anything he says is with a tone of leaving it totally up to us, just offering the benefit of his experience, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm really glad we booked with him and can't wait to enjoy his services on our big day!

The person who welcomed us at the entrance was helpful and we immediately found our clearly labeled room. The tables had been set beautifully for lunch and we were served our buffet right on time. We had amazingly delicious salmon and fried chicken (maybe pecan-encrusted?). The sides of salad, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and creamy tomato bisque were also all amazing. The desserts were also tasty- mini key lime pies and caramel pretzel brownies! The staff were so attentive with iced tea, water refills, and coffee. I was really impressed with the service. Besides that, everything went so smoothly! The speakers used the microphones and projectors without a hitch. I highly recommend this space for meetings and food!

She gave plenty of leeway for adding our own style and expression while providing the solid basis to producing a masterpiece by night's end. Tons of fun. Highly recommended :)
