My husband and I recently had our wedding at Taylor Mansion (The Upper Crust), and it was the perfect event we hoped it would be. From the first time we met with Chris Riker, we got a great impression - he was friendly, attentive, and took the time to answer our questions, give us lots of options, and address any concerns that arose along the way. As the date approached, he was always responsive quickly by email. Several days before the wedding it became clear that the weather was going to be much colder than we'd hoped, and Chris was great about giving us options for moving the ceremony if need be, and renting heaters for both the ceremony and reception. He was also very flexible given that my husband and I were planning our wedding from a different state.
We also really enjoyed working with the florist, Will Eylar. Neither my husband nor I had more than a vague idea of what we wanted - we knew colors, and that was about it. Will spent time showing us lots of pictures, asking us questions, and at the end put together a wonderful floral package that we loved.
Upper Crust Catering was also a pleasure to work with! At our tasting several months earlier we gave Chris some comments on changes we'd like for them to make for the dishes, and they totally came through for us on the day of the wedding. The food was wonderful! Chris and Upper Crust Catering were also flexible with some specific dietary restrictions of several of our guests. The staff was great on the day of the wedding, and everything went very smoothly for both the food and the drinks.
Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. We knew it was a gorgeous venue from pictures before we ever visited, but the people we worked with there really made the whole event fantastic. read more
