Enchanted Memories On the Hill

I’m not sure what these other reviewers are talking about. We got married May 16, 2014, and the ceremony and reception could not have been any better! It was a wedding beyond our dreams! From the time I arrived, I did not have to think about a thing! JoDee and Ruby took such good care of me. We discussed beforehand the itinerary and JoDee was sure to let me know that I was running the show. They would gently remind me of when something new was going to happen.
Our ceremony was gorgeous. They did much more than I was expecting! We got as much time as we wanted for pictures. Afterwards we came in and ate a delicious meal! We cut our beautiful cake and did the toasting and then outside to dance the night away. It was by and far the most memorable night of our lives and we cannot express how happy and thankful we are to JoDee and her crew!

The people who work here are RUDE! This is a terrible place for weddings and special occasions because they will RUSH you through your special moments and then kick you out the door. The worst part was that they really ripped us off! Weddings are not cheap and the owners buy the cheapest version of things (flowers, candy, food, photographers) and then pocket the money. For example, we spent $ 200 on a candy bar, which consisted of a few red hots and starbursts and THEN they had the nerve to rip the leftover candy out of our hands when we tried to pack up the leftovers. These people are not classy and this is not the type of place you want to create precious memories!!! Consider yourself warned!!!

This is about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. The staff was polite, on the ball with returning calls and emails, organized, etc. They were even able to provide a photographer after ours had to back out. The day of the wedding, the place looked wonderful. There were a few glitches though and I have a few recommendations:
1. If you have dietary requirements… spell it out exactly and double-​check. I asked for a couple of vegan options, and specified steamed vegetablese. The cooks sauteed the veggies in butter. (apparently either misunderstanding or being incorrectly informed).
2. The photographer’s assistant managed to piss off most of my family by being so rude. And she actually ARGUED with the photographer, who LET HER. I nearly smacked her with my bouquet out of frustration.
3. Careful with the florist. I had no specifics beyond «orange and purple» and mentioned a few flowers i like and that I wanted a SMALL bouquet. I got one that must have weighed 10 pounds. All the other flowers were great, but mine was gaudy and too heavy to carry.
4. Ask them to leave you food for the reception. I had assumed the coordinators would leave a meal aside for my husband and I. They did not… we had to scrouge up cold scraps at the buffet.
5. Don’t let them rush you. They hurried my husband and I through photos, cake, dances, etc. and were busy making memories we were not acutally having. In our dazed state, neither of us were able to say STOP. So have a friend do that for you. Otherwise, you won’t get to see people that couldn’t stay long and will have 2 hours to kill afterward with half your guests gone. There was NO reason for all the hurrying they did.
6. We had more photos of the DJ than our friends. And those photos we had were all POSED. No candid shots… just a bunch of people saying «cheese». So either get your own photographer or be VERY specific regarding what type of photos you want.
Overall, they were very good. But these frustrations the day of the wedding detracted from a pleasant experience.
