Tim Sweeney was my contact for the wedding reception at the Conference Center--when we first met, Tim took us on a tour of the mansion, and showed us the packages available--he ans...wered tons of questions we had, and based on what we saw and how we felt at the mansion, we booked with him that day. I'm glad we did! We booked in August of 2009, for a wedding in October 2010--I found out that once I put down my deposit 2 weeks later that other brides had asked about our date--the site books quickly, and I can understand why-it's perfect!
Along the timeline up to our day, I sent Tim tons of emails with questions about little details, and adjustments that we'd have to make...not only did he get this stuff from me, but also from my mom checking up on things as well. He responded either the same day, or the next in a timely fashion-especially considering just how busy they are there!
Tim was a great organizer for our wedding--he was fun to work with (we were cracking up every time we met!), knowledgable, and made us feel that things would be taken care of--even things we had no idea we'd be doing until the day of--he took care of it without us having to worry if it would be right or not.
The tasting was wonderful--we got to eat in the large dining room (6 of us), and he went over all the flatware, linen, and cuisine options we could choose from.
Our wedding day was fabulous! Tim recommended a few vendors to us that we did use, and he set up all the decorations we had to use for the venue (mind you, it was an Adirondack mountain theme, so we had trail signs, mason jars, all sorts of silly decorations) in perfect order. During the wedding, we didn't see him too much except for major things--like checking the buffet food before it was served, and for the cake cutting. We had so many compliments on the venue, their service, how friendly, polite and professional the entire waitstaff was--people were blown away! And the price? considering we had lots of people who like to drink--open bar the whole time with an after party downstairs, great food, and a great cocktail hour--we thought the price was less that what it would have been if we handled all that by ourselves seperately. The price included alcohol, linens/flatware, our cake, food, and a few extras :).
We'd like to thank the conference center, Tim, and Lisa for making our day ROCK!
