I had a plated dinner reception for 200 here on a Friday night. Every single part of my experience here was amazing!!! Paul, the manager, was absolutely fantastic. He made me feel ...
like I was the most important person in the world (even though I know he had larger and more important things to work on, he ALWAYS made time for me). He was completely flexible with everything from meeting time to the menu to me getting my flower people in there a day early to set up. He even gave me freezer space for the ice cream cake we had for the reception almost a week in advance!! (the cakes weren't freezing solid in my freezer so he allowed me to put them in the hall freezer AND come in and frost them!) The food was fabulous (we had the roast leg of lamb, shish style chicken and pasta with wild mushrooms as choices for our guests). The catering staff was great- all professional but very personable too. We had our own personal server who was the most attentive server I have probably EVER had. I loved everything about this place and would DEFINITELY recommend it to all my friends and family.

St. John's Chapel was a beautiful place to be married, and the outdoor grounds and our ballroom were absolutely gorgeous and made for great photos. But by far, the most outstanding...
characteristic of St. John's is the amazing wedding coordination staff for the Chapel and Reception. Not only did they walk us through every step, they made excellent recommendations and took care of everything on the wedding day. For the bride (and her family) St. John's made for a perfect, stress free wedding.;Give guests a program of things to do in the area with a map, local construction can make transportation a little tricky. Encourage guests to book golf tee times at least one month in advance
