The mocktails were delicious and creative (not on a menu but our server just asked what I like and don't like in them) and I had two different ones that were some of the best ever! The food was top notch and I still miss the Salmon with Dill Sauce. They even had beautiful China plates for us to use for our meals. Every attention to detail was thought of and executed perfectly. Can't wait for next years and to see what other events they come up with.

It was such a fun piece of entertainment for the night, and I have loved seeing our prints hanging in friends' and families' homes. The prints were high quality and very customizable, so we were able to make ours perfectly fit the green and gold theme of the day. Sarah kept an envelope with photos my husband and me were in to give us at the end of the night, so we didn't worry at all about keeping track of them. Very thoughtful team that brings a great energy to the day, I can't recommend them highly enough!

I loved all the trees scattered throughout. I also thought the venue was well laid out for getting ready, cocktail hour, lunch and all the other various things that happen with Hindu weddings. The venue was so naturally beautiful that a lot of decor wasn't needed. It was also bright and airy and didn't feel stuffy or outdated. While I can't speak to the internal logistics, as a guest, I had a great time!

The Marriott Fairfield Inn Airport is aptly named. Unlike the other hotels in the area using the…read morename "airport" because they are close to the airport, the Marriott is actually IN the airport. If you're arriving in Rochester by air, you'll find the hotel right across the street from the terminal. If you're driving in, it's a little more confusing. It's not unlike playing Uncle Wiggly. (If you don't know what that is, do a google search.) Just drive through the baggage and arrivals area, and you'll find the hotel right next to the long term parking structure. (At the time of this writing, the terminal is under construction. I tried to follow my GPS instructions when the voice said, "Make a slight left" which I did,and wound up taking a scenic drive through the long term parking structure. The smile on the attendent's face told me I wasn't the first. One more roundy-round of the arrivals area was the trick - it wasn't possible to "make a slight left" because that roadway isn't there currently.) Once you figure out the way around the game board, checking in is typical Marriott, fast and efficient. There is one elevator in the center of the building, which isn't bad because it's only three floors and doesn't have a big footprint. The room was a touch on the small side but usuable. Three adults fit comfortably. The decor is pleasant, the carpeting is resonably new as the woodwork seems to be new. I would like to see an additional night stand, and outlets for battery chargers are a bit sparse. It also seems a bit on the pricey side for what it is, but we did happen to be here on the weekend that the University of Rochester is holding graduation ceremonies. If that wasn't enough, there was a professional bicycle race in downtown Rochester this weekend, putting even more strain on the city's lodging. All things considered, Iwould stay here again, especially if I were flying into ROC.

I appreciated how casual it was here and overview and assistance if needed by the staff. I was wondering, though, if the wine inventory could be better organized such that white wines could be together in cases and chilled? It felt like the white wines I sampled were at most a few degrees lower than room temperature. I was very pleased with a red that I tasted, specifically a malbec. I didn't order food here, though I did see some delivered to other customers. The olives option was very generous and would easily be satisfying for two people, possibly 3.

I love deviled eggs, so I was sure to get those, and we got a few other items that I posted pictures of. Everyone agreed that the food was good, and many people told me they enjoyed it. However, the portions are rather small, so keep that in mind when you order. For instance, there was one deviled egg per person. There's typically 2 per person with catering, or just more than you need. There seemed to be a lot of the mini chicken tacos, so it may be dependent on what items you order. There seemed to be more caprese skewers, too, so when you order, that would be a good question to ask. The food was good, so we'd use them again. We'd just order more next time, lol. I easily could have eaten 2 of the deviled eggs... or 10.
