The White Magnolia — Attraction in Kentwood

Venue was good but I wouldn’t say great, For what you spend, you would think they would do a lot more. They even forgot to put petals on the dirty looking floors in the chapel due to a bad sealing job. Thankfully my sister had to pointed out and the petals were out before the ceremony. Seemed like there was no schedule. I even tried to relax and not be super anal about staying on time because I thought that the people I hired would do it for me, but that was not the case. I was rushing to get down the aisle because no one told me to get my dress on I guess I should’ve looked at the time, but I mean it was my wedding day and I hired people to do this for me so I could relax. I couldn’t even get my veil on correctly because I had no time I was completely rushed before going down the aisle. I wanted time to myself to just sit and relax and reflect even if it was just five minutes, but I did not get that. Do yourself a favor and get your own wedding planner. McKenzie had no idea what she was doing and she had to be told what to do. Even my dad pointed it out. She was nowhere around me the entire day feels like she focused, mainly on the groom. I think I saw her twice in the entire day. I also had candles and they were all crooked. It was like no one cared. I had a backdrop that they couldn’t get to hang and she just wanted to put it on the floor. My dad had to go do it. You shouldn’t have to be told what to do. I cannot stress enough to get your own wedding planner. Do not use McKenzie. She is very young and has no idea what she’s doing and if she does have an idea what she’s doing she sure didn’t do it for me. The venue was pretty and everyone had fun, but the service was way below, my expectations, and I am disappointed by a 30 something thousand dollar venue you really need to get it together. I would suggest going somewhere else or getting your own wedding planner because what the heck. Also, if you stay in the cabin, the water doesn’t get hot even though they tell you it does it does NOT get hot. And the floors in the cabin were dirty they had to call someone out to come clean them. They also completely forgot to let my dad have a speech and he had to go tell them. I’m just really frustrated because it was my dad’s idea for a wedding and this meant a lot to him and they were just crappy. The caterers even didn’t want to give him extra food. He had to tell them that he paid for the wedding. I had so much anxiety after this wedding. I still feel anxious about the whole thing because of how much money was spent and how freaking disappointing it was. I don’t know how this place has such good reviews because they failed me. In every possible way. I know it seems like I had really high expectations which I did and I should because this is a very expensive venue, but I literally created pictures and gave them a freaking map basically on how I wanted things done and they still couldn’t figure that out. This was just so frustrating and I wish I would’ve gone somewhere more professional. (You can see in the photo. It’s a different part of the day and the candles are...

Seeing this beautiful piece of property, being tarnished, over one person's uninformed comment, is saddening! I was with this family when they bought the property. It was nothing. Just an old riding arena, with a handful of very basic horse stalls. And a house, that literally had a horse living in it. They hay fields were weak, to day the least. I spent many a day and night, at that farm them. Doing everything we could to clean it up. This farm and venue, has absolutely nothing to do with atrocious claims that folks are making. It's saddening to see our population, blindly follow one comment. But yet, Bo matter how many people speak the truth, the negative comments are always flowing. It's easy to sit behind a computer or phone, and make all the assessments, claims a judgments you want to. Your hidden. It's not your farm or source of income. Who cares what happens to it. That's B.S.! The amount of people that have worked to make this place as amazing as it can be.

Lastly, it's funny how all of yall would Follow Chip and Joanna Gaines off cliff, just to sniff they're britches. But are willing to try and run a small family owned business in the ground! ! It's sickening, infuriating and down right destructive. To see how this place is being portrayed and treated! If yall only knew, just HOW MANY families and lives, this family provides for!

Keep fighting back against the...

Thank you so much for making the wedding such a great day! When we were touring the facility as soon as we walked up the aisle and saw those cut outs and the lake behind it my partner said we didn’t even have to tour another facility. This was it! We canceled two appointments immediately! McKenzie is a 5 star planner and organizer well worth the extra money! The only request is allow her to do her job! Relax and let her plan and worry! It makes the day wonderful!!!! The kitchen/chef is also 5 stars!!!!! Also I want everyone to know for the rehearsal dinner we were told that not too many people get the carrots. Several people that don’t even eat carrots came up to me and told me how wonderful they were!!! Get the carrots!!!! The cottages are a MUST!!! I know it’s more money but please ask your bridal party and close family to stay and share cottages! Use the fire pit as much as possible and have a whole day/two day event!!!! Thank you so much white magnolia! It was a weekend to remember forever!!!! Maybe we will rent the cabin for an anniversary that doesn’t fall on...
