RH Nirvana - part deux

Up next we have Larkfield Manor

we checked this place out because of its proximity to chris' parents home again, this place had an AMAZING menu, absolutely scrumptious! the outdoor ceremony would've been pretty good...but the downside was the ballroom, it didn't have the right feel...it was a tad subterranean for us (there were no windows) and the grounds honestly didn't wow us, so we passed it up

we then headed over to the historical thatched cottage

cute name eh? well let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, this place was BEAUTIFUL! chris looked at me when we saw the ceremony location and he told me he could imagine saying his vows to me here underneath the willow tree with the lake behind us..sounds perfect doesn't it? the price was pretty good, the grounds were wonderful, the food definitely hooked us in...major contender here...we're getting close to RH Nirvana!

alright guys, still with me? ready for more? up next we have crest hollow country club

i had a couple of years ago attended a wedding here and had fond memories (chris however did not, he got sick at this particular wedding =X) ...anyways...the grounds were AMAZING! great pool, great gardens...ballrooms ehh a little dated i have to admit...but the price! man oh man is it hard to turn our heads away from this one...i wanted to love it...but the prissy princess part of me wanted to have a wedding where none of my friends had one yet...so i mentally kinda ex-ed this one...but WOW the iced tea they served me was definitely the best dang iced tea i ever had!

and then i present to you woodbury country club

i LOVE LOVE LOVED this place, the grounds, the ballroom, the food! chris and i came to wedding here a couple of years ago too...and we honest to god loved the food...the service was impeccable, the ceremony location would've been perfect it was even within budget! sounds promising doesn't it? we were seriously considering this place

Last on this journey i take you to the north ritz club

i really liked this place, the price was good, the food was good, i loved the grounds, i wished i had pictures to show you...but chris was not feeling it.. he felt it was too similar to everything else we've seen already so in the end we passed it up because it looked too...unspecial to him...poo! but i had to admit he's right...it didn't stand out really...

so in the end who did i pick? stick around to find out ;-)
