Kelsey was such a pleasure to work with. She came in about half way through our wedding planning and never skipped a beat. I applaud her constant smile and positive vibes. She calmed all my nerves and ALWAYS checked in on us. She was on the ball all the time to say the least. White Manor has an amazing wedding to offer any couple. The food was amazing from the plated dinner to the appetizers and pasta taco station. We heard nothing but amazing compliments about the food. The bartenders were fast and served all 175 guests with ease. I wouldn’t change a single thing about the best day of my life. Thank you WMCC & Kelsey!

My husband and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the overall beauty and charm of Grand Cascades Lodge, which made our wedding day truly memorable. The stunning views, exquisite grounds, and the spacious Emerald ballroom were perfect for our celebration. Working with Jean and Sara was generally a positive experience, and their welcoming attitude during our visits meant a lot to us. However, I wanted to share some constructive feedback regarding the planning process. While our customization requests were accommodated, there were communication challenges, especially on the day of the wedding, with multiple points of contact. The food tasting experience was delightful, and we appreciate the effort in accommodating our preferences. Although some dishes at the cocktail hour were well-received, the braised beef dish didn't meet the standard set during the tasting. Unfortunately, there were a few issues during the weekend that impacted our experience: - The memory table candles were not lit until late in the reception, despite prior requests. - Our sweetheart table had a wrinkled tablecloth, affecting the overall presentation. - The florist's flowers for the cake were left with the kitchen staff, and despite assurances, they were not added as planned. - The shuttle service delay inconvenienced elderly guests who had to wait longer than expected. Additionally shuttle service that was promised during the after party did not work as agreed upon. While these points highlight areas for improvement, we want to emphasize our appreciation for the positive aspects of our celebration. We understand that events may encounter unforeseen challenges, and we believe that sharing our experience can contribute to enhancing future events at GCL. Thank you for your attention to our feedback.

We booked the Nassau Inn because it was located in Princeton (a family friendly and walkable town in NJ) and offered great packages. We quickly learned that everyone was so kind, helpful, and easy to reach. Jaime and Roger truly guided us through planning our big day. Each decision felt so easy and we trusted them 100%! The food was amazing and beyond our expectations. The bartenders were friendly. Our guests had made so many positive comments! Also, having the cake included was a huge time saver for us, and we enjoyed working with a local bakery who were very accommodating. Choosing the Nassau Inn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!
