Here for a wedding for my wife's great niece. It is August. We were bussed in from a hotel about 25 mins. Away.
Apparently this place is brand new. This is the first wedding here. Many plantings looked like they had just been installed.
Wedding is set for 4pm out doors. We arrived at 330pm. Seats were partially assigned but they were still being assigned while we all milled about. Fans were distributed to the ladies. It was 85 degrees and partly sunny. Quite humid.
Ceremony was beautiful the groom lost it but all was good and everyone looked great. We were then directed to a tent with two large portable a/c units. The units were welcome but we all soon realized once inside the tent they were not cooling but only blowing hot air around. It was more comfortable outside the tent. A guest commented "black tie? It should have been bathing suits". Also the parking lot was a few paces away from where we were in the tent. A bit off putting.
Service was fine and drinks were available as well as a charcuterie board and various finger foods.
We were then directed inside the main hall. It looked and felt brand new. Nice enough for the event I estimate 150-160 guests. The dinner service was good. My grouper was tasty and moist. Others got beef.
The music was extremely loud and the acoustics were poor very high ceiling and bare walls. But the dancing was fun. Service was fair but if you wanted anything they would get it for you. It was a nice, new place for the event.
We had a good time. A work in progress.
