Although the day itself was lovely, there are a few things ,that in hindsight, I'd wish I had known. We had 42 guests for our 50th Anniversary Reception. We paid for 50 @ $67.11 per person. I felt the food was rationed and was very skimpy; served off the reception area in a much smaller area and not easily accessible to the guests. The wine and fruit punches were served at room temperature. Perhaps my expectations were not realistic as I'd have preferred an iced punch bowl, I also thought that any food left would have been available for us to take with us at that price. I observed most guest sitting at tables with little or no food or beverage in front of them. The staff we did see were very friendly and I want to thank the gal who cut the cake especially for her kindness.
