I was referred to the Propylaeum as a wedding venue by someone else who had a wedding there. Â
I, too, highly recommend! Â I couldn't have asked for anything more for my January wedding. Â The carriage house made for a lovely ceremony, and the reception in the main house was exceptional. Â Karin, who catered a delectable menu, also helped with the coordinating, down to the last detail. Â The staff were very friendly. Â The ambience was beautiful, the food delicious, and the budget--surprisingly reasonable, especially in comparison to other similar venues in the area. Â
The Propylaeum is the perfect place to create lasting memories. Â Once again, highly recommend!
Our night began with a self-guided tour through the propylaeum with instructions to pay special attention to the bathroom in room #4. Why? Because someone was murdered in there, and we were about to sit down for dinner at a table full of possible suspects. Â It was time for a "Death in the Dark" murder mystery dinner. We had no idea what to expect. Â We certainly weren't prepared to act out the characters in the game, but that turned out to be the best part.
The murder - clevery planned. The mystery - intriguing. The role playing - hilarious. The dinner - horrible.
We went thanks to a 50% off Groupon, which I would highly recommend using. While the experience as a whole is fun, it's not worth paying full-price for. Â Would I do it again? Â Of course! Â We solved the mystery, and now I'm itching to solve the next one!
This is EXACTLY what I sent to the mgmt/ownership group on Occasions Divine website! DO NOT GO HERE EVEN IF YOU GET A GROUPON/LIVINGSOCIAL.
My wife and I brought our two children to the Magic show event you had on Saturday evening. Let me start by saying that Craig Stone was amazing and put on a great show for all ages. i was very impressed by him. Now to the ugly! The other person (Taylor I believe) was revolting. He was sweating very bad as he was coming from table to table. It was digusting as there was food on the table. In addition, he had fingernails that were very long and unappealing. It was actually somewhat creepy. These are just some of the issues we encountered. The service was very friendly but it was honestly lacking. Our LivingSocial deal included wine I believe that we were never offered. I had water on the table, but the server did not offer us tea until we already had our main courses. Not sure what the problem was here? Also, when we entered we were told a choice of pork OR honey mustard chicken. When the chicken arrived for my wife it was a spicy BBQ sauce. HUH? Did you run out? I ordered the pork and it was over cooked big time. Very small portion and very dry. The potatoes that were served were not done and they were still hard. Now for the worst part. The kids meals. What in the world were you thinking serving jalapeno mac and cheese to kids? This is unacceptable. There is not one excuse for this what so ever. It is wrong and just poor planning. The chicken fingers were spicy as well and they were soggy on the outside and not warm inside. I really don't know what was going on Saturday night, but I can assure you that we will never return. I am very upset by the entire experience outside of Mr. Stone.
