(I love the light in the reception!)
My friend tied the knot this past weekend. She had a church ceremony and celebration at the Manor in West Orange.
I must say, with all the prestige behind the venue's moniker, I was a tad bit let town. The food at cocktail hour was ok. The only thing that made me swoon was the quesadillas (the best I ever had anywhere!). The sushi was a bit stale looking, so I avoided that. There was however, a grand array of cheeses which delighted many.
The entrees were fab. I loved the poached salmon and preferred it over the salmon at my Knoll Country Club wedding. But perhaps that's because each was prepared different.
The grounds of the Manor are stunning and made me want to remarry in another garden ceremony there! Anyone considering an outdoor wedding, deff. check out the Manor.
I can't say I'm in favor of it for a reception set-up however.
During the post-nuptial party, the bar was actually a rolling tray (think airplane food cart) set up in-between the aisle of tables. I couldn't help but wonder why the actual bar (one raised level up) was only used during the Venetian desserts, which by the way was delish' (though not as grand as the Knoll Country Club's dessert display).
All in all, it was a good time.
