I highly recommend BMOA. The staff is very flexible and they answered all my questions. Everything is spelled out in the contract. I like that you could bring in your own caterers and alcohol. Really saved a lot of money! And the gardens are beautiful!

The bmoa is a great place for the bride who wants the most flexibility with vendors. You can bring in your own vendors and bring in your own alcohol. You won't have a coordinator but for the savings over other places it doesn't matter. Have a friend do it or hire a coordinator. My dj really coordinated most of the evening and things were smooth :)

The garden was very nice, however, the staff we dealt with while planning were not the staff on site during the wedding or the reception.
