After celebrating 3 family weddings at the Shadowbrook, I knew from the moment of my engagement that I would continue our family tradition of having a beautiful wedding at the Shadowbrook. We met with Lynda, who was absolutely wonderful to work with. The Shadowbrook was even more beautiful than I remembered it and we couldn’t believe all of the extras that were included in each wedding package. I wanted elegance and no other place even compared to the Shadowbrook! My father, Cliff Shaw, called Mr. Zweben the following day and booked our March 31, 2012 wedding. The staff at the Shadowbrook was so helpful each and every time I had a question or request. I only had about 5 months to plan my wedding and thanks to the staff at Shadowbrook, they made it much smoother for me. As a school teacher, one of my requests to Mr. Zweben was to have my students attend my ceremony that was held in the beautiful Oak Room. Once again, my request was granted and my students were thrilled to be able to be there. This is just another example of how accommodating Mr. Zweben and his staff are. Even though the weather did not cooperate, it really didnt seem to matter. Once I arrived at the Shadowbrook, there could have been a hurricane outside and I wouldnt have even known it. Being inside the Shadowbrook was just as nice as having a sunny day! When I arrived at the Shadowbrook on my wedding day, I was greeted by Lynda and Freddy and some others who were there for me throughout the entire evening. Everyone kept telling me before my wedding that things will go wrong but not to worry because I would be the only one that noticed. Well, NOTHING went wrong, thanks to Mr. Zweben and the hard working staff of Shadowbrook. My guests are all saying that it was a classy and elegant wedding with an outstanding cocktail hour, delicious dinner and the best Red Velvet wedding cake that they have ever had!! Dont forget the International Coffee Bar that my guests thought was such an elegant touch! John and I, along with my parents agree with our guests 100%! The Shadowbrook gave me and John a perfect, beautiful wedding day with memories that will last us a lifetime. There is nothing that I would change. We are so grateful to The Zweben Family and their Shadowbrook staff! Three words for the Shadowbrook, “Simply The Best!!”
