The Venue - The venue has two locations to have services at. An upper and a lower location. I was bartending in the lower location.
- It has nice grass area for tables to be set up. It looks to be able to accomodate a large event. This event had about 12 large round tables. I would guess they could seat 150 guests at this location or more.
The wedding services are held under a covered area. It has a great backdrop of the hills. On a clear day it is beautiful. The "dance" floor is a concrete slab that is rough. I wouldn't wear nice dance shoes on it, but its fine for daily shoes.
The Bar - the location provides a covered working area which is nice. The entry to the grass area is just off of the parking area. The canopy covers two sections. The right side is for the bartending services, the left side is for the food services.
The bar area is nice size and I was able to set up two tables behind me. I used the permanent table top as the bar serving area. This is a long 10ft section. I set up two stations for services. The venue adds a 9 ft table at the end between the two rock pillars to section off and box in the area. With my 2 ice coolers, 2 6ft folding tables, all the supplies, it is plenty big enough space.
My thoughts - The venue is pretty nice for a simple wedding. Being outdoors you want to consider the wind and cooler temperatures as the sun goes down. Possibly rent heaters placed throughout the reception area on the grass in the cooler months just before and just after summer time. The wind started blowing in the evening so advise guests to bring jackets of some sort. Especially ladies in the nice shoulderless dresses. Be sure to have planned out food and drink services in advance. Be sure to have decided how the toast and cake cutting will be handled in advance.
I do suggest having emcee services to help keep everything on schedule. It really helped me out when the emcee was able to let me know when the toast was going to happen so I could get champagne iced and then opened at the right time.
Just Imagine Entertainment was the service used for this wedding. I think they did a great job. They provided DJ, emcee, and provided a picture slideshow on a large screen for all the guests to view througout the night.
