Our contact at the Mendel Center, Anne Vonk, was incredibly easy going and catered to our requests, keeping our best interest (and our budget!) in mind. With a little decorating from them and a little of my family's touch, it was everything we had hoped for.;The wedding coordinator, Tonya Martindale, made things confusing and seemed to put the reception center first, not us or our budget. Make sure you and your fiancee have a very good idea of what you want so you don't get roped into paying more for unnecessary details.
