I love this venue; it is beautiful, historic and unique! We planned to have our ceremony and reception in the same location, so I loved that the Cookery had room for our 100 guests to spread out rather than moving between different halves of on...e big room--we had our ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour in the front room, and reception in the ballroom. It is beautifully maintained, especially the front room with all the exposed brick and string lights--just lovely!! Our guests were really wowed by the space. The bridal suite was also a beautiful area for us to get ready and take some pre-ceremony pictures, but unfortunately there isn't really an equivalent space for the groom and groomsmen. One downside for weekend events is that the minimum food and beverage costs, plus all the additions we had to rent (e.g., linens, flatware and plates, dance floor) do add up quite a bit, so keep that in mind. We initially worked with Juli, who was very sweet and communicative, but were later transferred to Tammy closer to our event. I unfortunately had a generally negative experience working with Tammy--she was sometimes hard to get in touch with and despite her over-the-top politeness seemed uninterested in helping us unless it was something she could charge us for (for example, trying to charge us over $200 when as part of our reception planning we asked to taste the wines we were required to choose from through their bar service!). A couple of weeks before our wedding, we were abruptly told us we would not receive included valet service like we agreed to because of nearby construction. We had concerns about accessibility because of several elderly guests, but found Tammy to be frustratingly dismissive of our concerns and reluctant to provide any suggestions or alternatives. Ultimately they decided a couple of days before the wedding that they could do the valet service, so it all worked out, but the whole situation added a lot of unnecessary stress right before the wedding. Overall we really did love the event space and it was a beautiful backdrop for our wedding, but we recommend trying to work with a manager other than Tammy if possible!
