The Witt House — Attraction in Priceville

The highlights of this review are that the owner of this venue is very unprofessional. If you choose to book here, you should make sure that you have an itemized cost and services list provided in the contract. It is very vague and open to interpretation in parts. Also go look at their Facebook reviews. There are many more there talking about what a nightmare Jodi was to work with.

I will only comment here on the things I personally witnessed and know to be 100 percent factual. I was one of the groomsmen this past weekend at a wedding here. I had spoken with my friend the week of the wedding and was aware there had been some miscommunications with the venue. During the reception, I was there when my friend the groom found out about additional problems. There had been some messages the day of the wedding regarding the bar. My friend was under the impression that the beer to a certain amount was included in the cost. Not that it was free but included in the quoted cost. Naturally he wanted to talk about these issues before he paid. He asked me to be part of that conversation to act as a witness.

When the owner arrived, he immediately began by being aggressive and yelling. We remained calm telling him that this just needed to be a conversation. He continued to yell and attempt to intimidate us and even called the cops saying he would have the groom arrested. His behavior was atrocious and unprofessional. It could be compared to a child throwing a temper tantrum which is why I chose to leave a review. He went round and round saying, "I can't just give beer away for free. I'll lose my license." Each time he said this (which was over and over again) we said that we didn't expect it for free but that the groom was under the impression it was included in the cost. When the cops arrived, the owner instantly was calm and tried to say he only called them to make sure "nothing would happen since it was late and he was here by himself" (he wasn't. His staff were there). The groom told the cops then that we were all being calm and that he had the entire conversation recorded to prove it. It was then that the owner finally showed us text messages sent to the bride the morning of the wedding asking about the bar. Not sure why you would bother a bride the morning of the wedding but needless to say she agreed to the cash bar without realizing what was being asked.

I own a business. I understand that miscommunications happen. Jodi handled this situation horribly. If he had been calm and started with the text messages, it wouldn't have turned into a half hour ordeal. The venue was nice and the staff as well. My entire issue is with Jodi and his man...

I will never recommend this place or give the owner any of my business here or his restaurant JW Steakhouse because of how he treated me.

Ive been very conflicted on whether or not I should even write a review but honestly my experience with this place was extremely disappointing that if I’m able to save someone else’s wedding I feel like it’s worth it

I had a misunderstanding about something I was under the impression that certain things were included in the venues price and when I brought up my concerns after my wedding the owner yelled at me for 20-30 minutes, conducted himself in an extremely unprofessional manner, acted like a child and put words in my mouth that I never said and ended up having the cops called when the cops arrived he tried to say that he was scared for what I and a few groomsmen would do with him being alone at night, but neither me or anyone on my side ever raised our voices or was anything but cordial with him, he wasn’t alone the Dj was still there as well as his staff fortunately I had a recording of the whole interaction and the cops left without any issues I really just wanted to talk to him before I paid for the venue which I had full intentions of doing I just wanted to clear up something’s before i paid.

All I will say is if you do plan on using this venue I would suggest getting everything...

Me and my now wife got married here a few weeks ago. The wedding venue itself is nice considering it is a freshly remolded venue. However Jody Witt, the man behind it all is a very difficult person to deal with. Very unorganized and does not have a good grasp on how to efficiently run a wedding venue. He would take weeks to reply to emails and would not answer the phone if we called much less return the calls. Needless to say it got down to wedding week and we were scrambling to get information out of him. The biggest disappointment is 3 weeks before the wedding he decided that what was in the original quote was no longer valid and we would have to pay for additional items that were originally supposed to be included. On top of this I followed up with him after the wedding to see if we had any money left over from our bar tab that we gave him cash for prior to the wedding day. His reply to me was that there was some money left over but he was just going to keep it due to him not charging an excessive cleaning fee for having to pressure wash mud off the sidewalk. In my opinion this is not an acceptable way of doing business. Again, nice venue, terrible...
