I am a little late posting this, but I had my wedding here November 2023. My wedding day went beautifully, the venue was beautiful, but the owner of this place is something else. We had planned on getting ready at the venue, but they wouldn’t allow us to use the bridal suite a couple of hours early so that the wedding party could get their hair and make up done, so we didn’t even get to utilize that space even though we paid for it. We had to get ready off site and then drive over and just hope that the guests didn’t see us arriving. After my husband and I cut our cake, we set a piece aside so that we could do our first dance, father daughter dance, ect. and when we got back to our table, they had thrown out our cake….. it was an entire piece of cake that had been untouched. Not to mention drinks. My mom would set her drink down for a second to speak to someone and come back and it would be in the trash. They also tried to get us to leave almost an hour before our allotted end time, and made the DJ shut off the music at 9:30pm, when we had the venue until 11pm. Then they tried to force us to take our garbage with us and said “we have another event tomorrow, so you need to take this or it won’t fit in the dumpster” like that’s not our problem. We paid them to clean up the venue and to take care of the trash and they tried to get us to take it with us. Oh! And during our photos, there were a ton of fire ant hills all over the place. One of our groomsmen actually stepped in one and got bit all up and down his legs. If you know you are going to have an event, why wouldn’t you take care of that? As beautiful as the venue is and as wonderful as the staff was, I would probably never book, or suggest someone book an event here because Jan has some serious...
Read moreWe hosted our daughter’s wedding here and though it was beautiful (which was due to our florist more than anything) we found our experience lacking. Some things to be aware of if you are considering this for your venue: they are not accommodating, my daughter didn’t want a sweetheart table and we had to really argue with them to have it moved, they also would not give us two extra chairs in the reception area so we could decorate them. We had no input in the way the tables were arranged.
BEWARE of the bussing package, they kept throwing our guests food and cake away if they stepped away from the table for a moment and they were folding up chairs and cleaning up while the reception was still going on making people feel like they had to leave.
You cannot rinse dishes in the sink, if you have dishes with food, be prepared to take them home with food in them. I have another daughter getting married soon and will not be using this place nor would I recommend...
Read moreHow this place has such a rating, I will never understand. I guess it is great if you don’t have kids. My daughter was playing outside and basically I was told it was a liability issue. I am an accountant I know all about liability insurance. The party that paid to use the venue helps pay those premiums. I am sure you are also required to fill out a waiver, so it just not professional. Lastly, my brother, father and nephew were kicked out because my autistic nephew pulled up some the plastic covering over the gravel. The owner comes over yelling at an autistic boy and things got worse from there. His mom was threatened with a vandalism charge. I guess for an autistic boy doing something he didn’t know was wrong. Oh and the photographers were rude. I would give 0 stars...
