点评:It was the perfect choice for us to get married at the Grenville. I spent most childhood summers at the Jersey Shore, and my husband even proposed to me on this beach at sunrise. Our 50-guest wedding was scheduled over three days: rehearsal dinner Friday night, wedding Saturday, and farewell brunch Sunday morning. Everything except the rehearsal dinner took place at the Grenville. Every hotel room was occupied with our guests, so the whole weekend felt like one big sleepover!
Maureen, Harry, and Patti from the Grenville really came to feel like family throughout this process. Maureen and I were in regular communication about plans and details, and she was incredibly lovely and easy to work with.
For food, We loved their h’or d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. During the reception dinner, the banquet tables were set up horseshoe-style, so it was like one big family dinner. The Grenville provides an amazing menu as part of their wedding package. We had two tastings in the months leading up the wedding, to finalize our menu. We had a fabulous time working with the owner and head chef Harry, to finalize our menu that included one meat option (Chicken Francaise with Whipped Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables), one vegetarian option (Fusilli alla Vodka with Spinach, Asparagus, & Zucchini), and one vegan option (Impossible Beef Wellington with Roast Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables).
For much of our reception, our guests were so happy sitting on the veranda enjoying the rain. People were cozied up in blankets around the fire pit, and having long relaxed conversations with each other. My husband and I found ourselves thinking how lucky we were to be married in such a lovely place.
翻译:这是我们在格伦维尔结婚的完美选择。我童年的大部分夏天都是在泽西海岸度过的,我的丈夫甚至在日出时在这个海滩上向我求婚。我们的 50 名宾客的婚礼安排在三天内:周五晚上的彩排晚宴、周六的婚礼和周日早上的告别早午餐。除了彩排晚宴外,所有活动都在格伦维尔举行。酒店的每个房间都住满了我们的客人,所以整个周末感觉就像是在过夜!
在整个过程中,来自格伦维尔的莫琳、哈利和帕蒂真正感觉像家人一样。莫琳和我定期就计划和细节进行沟通,她非常可爱,而且很容易合作。
对于食物,我们很喜欢他们在鸡尾酒时间的开胃菜。招待晚宴时,宴会桌布置成马蹄形,就像一场大家庭聚餐。格伦维尔 (Grenville) 提供令人惊叹的菜单作为其婚礼套餐的一部分。我们在婚礼前的几个月里进行了两次品尝,以最终确定我们的菜单。我们与店主兼主厨哈利一起度过了一段美好的时光,最终确定了我们的菜单,其中包括一种肉类选择(法式鸡肉配生土豆和混合蔬菜),一种素食选择(Fusilli alla Vodka配菠菜,芦笋和西葫芦),和一种素食选择(不可能的惠灵顿牛肉配烤土豆和混合蔬菜)。
在我们招待会的大部分时间里,我们的客人都很高兴坐在阳台上享受雨。人们围坐在火坑周围,盖着毯子,舒舒服服地互相交谈。我和我丈夫发现自己在想我们能在如此可爱的地方结婚是多么幸运。
