I thought about having a wedding here since the first time I walked in - it has amazing decor, barely needs any additional decorations at all, the food is great, and has a great feel. We met with Jessica to plan out the details, and other than sometimes having to wait a few days for a response, she was amazing to work with (she never took too long to keep things moving at the necessary speed). Everything went smoothly, but the thing worth mentioning is that the food was hands down the best wedding food I've ever had in my life - and I heard this from tons of people at the wedding. People are still talking to me about it. It was done family style, so as soon as people arrived food started coming out to the tables, and just kept coming - no buffet lines, no waiting for individual plates to be set down - and was more price friendly than buffet or plated as well. They worked hard to keep us right at the minimum, but somehow we still had an amazing open bar with signature cocktails. The staff was friendly and attentive, and helped us have a great time! The only slight issue was that the sound system wasn't great - but the venue isn't set up to be very acoustics-friendly, so even with a good sound system it might not have been the best. That being said, we didn't have to bring our own sound system, mic, dance floor, or anything like that - they provided pretty much everything, and made the reception the easiest part of my wedding to plan. And I feel like I need to emphasize one more time how incredibly good the food was. And for the detail-minded, it was a 130 person wedding but we could have had up to 150 at the Picnic House.
