Having our reception at the Public Landing was easily one of the best wedding decisions we made. First of all, the restaurant is housed in the historic Gaylord building, which provided for a breathtakingly beautiful site, full of charm and history. Additionally, the newly-renovated gardens and park next door also made a beautiful spot to take photos before the reception started. And because PL is first and foremost a restaurant, the food was absolutely amazing! We kept getting compliments all night (and have since after the wedding) on how great the food was. My favorite part of the meal was dessert, though - we opted not to have a cake in order to serve our guests their signature dessert: a basket made of caramel, filled with white chocolate mousse and fresh berries. The restaurant area is on the first floor of the building, while the banquet area is on floor two, which meant that our party was completely our own - no random people wandering in or walking through.

Probably the best part about choosing the Public Landing would have to be the staff. Tim, the event coordinator there, made everything incredibly easy for us and was extremely accommodating. For example, our reception was on a Saturday night and we wanted to come in to decorate the day before. Even though they were approached to have another event there on Friday, Tim reserved the space for us so that we were able to decorate on Friday afternoon.

I honestly can't say enough great things about Public Landing. It's a restaurant that my family has been going to since I was a child, and having my wedding reception there was perfect.
