“We had an excellent experience at the Reeds for our wedding in April of 2024. From the moment we booked we had great communication with the wedding team and always felt in the loop! The tasting event was SO fun and our guests raved about the food. The night of the wedding was handled so well by the entire staff- we wish we could relive it over and over !!”

“The whole experience was great. No issues and they really made everything so easy. The day was smooth and everyone had a blast. It rained that day but was still as magical as I’d hoped. Love Smithville so much”

“I'm not sure why you would get married anywhere else! The South Gate Manor exceeded our expectations. Chris and his staff catered to our every need, and really made the day personalized to us. Huge separate bridal suites for both Bride & Groom, beautiful cocktail hour/viennese hour room. Our guests said it was the best cocktail hour and dessert hour they have ever had. Outdoor ceremony space, but it rained on our day so they moved everything inside with ease and no added stress to us. Our bridal attendant and Maitre'D were with us throughout the whole day helping with photos and making sure our glasses were never empty! Food was outstanding. They truly made our wedding day everything we could have ever dreamed of. A”

“The most amazing experience with the best staff. Everyone was so accommodating and made the entire day flawless especially Gianna my bridal attendant. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“The best venue you could ask for! Everyone we worked with were, professional and passionate! Loved our special day and Brigalias made our vision come to life! Absolutely stunning job! Will host any event there!”

“We had our wedding reception at Fiddlers Elbow Country Club and we could not have been happier with our choice. From our first meeting with Meg, the wedding coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Meg was extremely responsive, organized, and professional throughout the entire planning process, making everything easy and stress-free for us. The venue itself is stunning - elegant architecture and immaculate grounds provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and truly seemed invested in making our wedding perfect. It felt personalized rather than just another event to them. The quality of the food, decor and service was simply outstanding. Our guests are still raving about what an amazing time they had. I wholeheartedly recommend Fiddlers Elbow for any couple's wedding or special event. You will not be disappointed!”

“This is a shortened review due to character limits- Full review can be found on wedding wire under review title "An Exquisite Venue" I owe a huge thank you to the venues coordinator, Hope, who from day one assured me that wedding weekend would be perfect. You often read reviews that say coordinators that work for the venue is not the same as hiring your own wedding coordinator, that they won’t be there to help you make decisions along the way, suggest ideas when you are stuck on something and are merely a day of coordinator who lines the bridal party up and gets you down the aisle. This could not be further from the truth at The Chateau Grande. Hope was the most helpful, caring and knowledgeable person I met during the entire process of wedding planning, bar none. She answered every email (there were many) and texts promptly and would happily get a phone call to discuss things in detail at a moments notice. Hope was extremely flexible in every single way to ensure this was truly “our day”. Hope went above and beyond for each event we hosted, for the rehearsal, she spent hours setting up the candles on the tables exactly the way I had them photoshopped in my inspo pic, she made sure every napkin, place card, menu and our signage was perfectly placed and the room was lit exactly how I envisioned. Hope did not just get us down the aisle, she didn’t just show up that day, she truly built our wedding day with us from the ground up. Hope became a huge part of the wedding to me. She was an integral part of the process without whom I know I would not have had the bridal experience I waited my whole life to have. I can never thank her enough for everything she did. I know she went above and beyond for us and I am forever grateful for her. May 18, 2024 went by in the blink of an eye just as I knew it would. The ceremony was stunning. Immediately upon walking out of our ceremony we were congratulated by staff and handed our signature cocktails, very nice touch.I stressed to Hope throughout the year of planning that the quality and quantity of food is of the upmost importance to my family, specifically my father, who wanted to know that guests would never have to wait for food to be replenished at cocktail hour and that we added enough food options that guests would have an abundance to choose from. We also chose to extend cocktail hour to an hour and a half so guests had more time to enjoy everything. In my opinion this is an absolute MUST and worth every penny. I requested cocktail smoker tops for old fashions at the bar and the request was happily accommodated, such an elegant touch when guests ordered the signature cocktail. The reception was everything and more. The lighting built in to the venue once again, superb. We added our own uplighting package from the DJ as well but the lighting the venue has can easily be used in the event that you don’t want to do any additional lighting packages. Our guests were attended to quickly with anything they ordered at the bar. From salads to entrees, the food was top tier and cooked perfectly. Every detail of our weekend was exquisite. This venue provided such a high end and luxurious feel from the moment we booked with them. Luxury is a running theme at this venue and it is no surprise that a venue this well managed has the ability to accommodate your every request. I wish anyone who gets married the same experience that we had.”

“The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the staff and team are so great. Everyone is very accommodating and willing to work and help with everything.”

“My husband and I just got married at Terrace on the Park on 2/17/24 in the Penthouse. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had looked at plenty of venues before selecting this one. From the start, Mildred was so helpful. Answering any questions we had and making sure all of our expectations were met and exceeded. The finalist manager, Nicole, was also amazing. Both her & Mildred were there on our wedding day to make sure everything went as planned. The chapel was set up beautifully for our ceremony, and the cocktail hour in the garden suite was amazing (from what we heard). The venue itself provides breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding landmarks, such as the world’s fair globe, citifield, Arthur Ashe stadium, and others. I wish I could go back to the beginning and plan it again with the same people!”

“Had a great time at the Sheraton Hotel. We got the suite and had an amazing sleep. The bed were very comfortable and staff friendly and helpful.”
