Spectacularly gorgeous venue. I had a beautiful, intimate wedding here (around 45 guests).
Everything went really well until the end of the night when the venue coordinator rushed me, my guests, and my catering staff/vendors out early, and didn’t give us time to pack up all of our stuff. In our contract, it stated we’d have the venue for our event until 10:30pm but everyone was pushed out around 10pm. Many of my guests had to wait outside in the cold in formal wear because they had scheduled their rides for half an hour later.
It was also stated in our contract, that we’d have 4 hours for clean up, but we were locked out of the building after only about 30-45 minutes. We were locked out and had to have everything cleared up essentially by the time our event was supposed to have ended. That was severely disappointing.
In Weylin’s defense, it was the night of a snowstorm and I understand them wanting to get their staff home before the weather got worse. HOWEVER, we weren’t forewarned or compensated in any way for this and in the commotion we left (and subsequently never got back) the only piece of wedding decor I planned on keeping because we were so rushed and got locked out before we could check/clear the rooms and then locked out before we could check/clear the building. And again, my guests were kicked out before our allotted time slot with no warning or method of getting back to their hotels. We did not receive any acknowledgment or apologies until after my husband sent an email a couple weeks later—then we got a vague apology with some blame towards us. My wedding was 7 months ago and this still makes me sad and upset because it was such a horrible ending to a lovely event.
I understand that these are unusual and specific circumstances, so I’m hoping no one else comes across these issues, but it felt very callous to kick us, our guests and our vendors out early without any warning and to not give us our promised (and paid for) time to collect our things.
Emotionally I want to leave Weylin a 1 star review, but reasonably I believe 3 is fair. It really is a stunning venue and for the most part the staff was friendly and easy...
