Sue Scharf and Tricia thank you so much for being so professional, organized, and making my wedding day so charming!!
I can remember for about a month I contacted venues from S...anta Barbara to Pasadena trying to find something that had all my must haves, fit within my budget, and most importantly didn't have any fine print that would cost me an arm and leg. At first I was willing to do anything for the venue in Santa Barbara, but when I realized that most venues had an end time of about 9 pm and a pricy hourly rate for after 9. I quickly knew Santa Barbara was not for my husband and I.
WeI reviewed the package at Knollwood, and they quickly were at the top of the venues to tour the grounds. It was a no brainer they had everything we were looking for and it fit within our budget (our reception ended at 11:30 like the last song played)!!! Once my husband, parents, and I viewed the Granada Room I wanted to sign the contract immediately (there must have been a mistake in pricing). After meeting with Sue, she suggested we confirm the dates were available with our church (we fell in love with her, she was looking out for us, also there was no error in pricing).
When we finally booked our wedding, we felt like we were completely taken care of. I the bride didn't have to worry about anything, our package included 4 hours of open bar, our cake, table linens, set up, and a wonderful candy station. The candy station was so impressive; it was the best I had ever seen!! Sue did such a great job in matching every candy to our wedding colors. I know that I could not find that much green, black, and white candy if I tried. Also, there were more adult's hording the candy then the kids/teens that were sitting right next to the station (at the end of the night there was not one cany left).
My husband and I had a great venue, 4 hours of open bar, a 5 hour party, and a candy station!! It was everything we wanted and so much more!!!
We absolutely recommend Knollwood!!! So much so, our brother and soon to be sister will be hosting their reception here as well!!
Give Sue a call, be savvy and do not splurge on the venue elsewhere. Make your wedding your day, and use your money to make everything a wonderful memory. It goes by so fast, make every little detail count.
Sue and Knollwood did this for us!
