Unreasonable and insensitive during COVID. I booked HJN for our wedding in May 2020. During the lockdown I was given the option to rebook within 6 months of my original date or we would forfeit our $1000 deposit. Given half of the guests were in Europe and travel restrictions only started easing up in late 2021 it was impossible for us to reschedule our entire wedding within the very restrictive and short timeframe. In short HJN profited $1000 on a situation that was beyond our control but was totally within theirs, if HJN management had some empathy towards its customers.

I don't know about pricing because I wasn't paying for it BUT as an attending guest it was a delightful and...
Read moreMediocre venue. Mediocre service. Rude. Our party was neither rowdy nor belligerent, to the venue nor the staff, and we're treated like criminals at the time of closing. We were TOLD to leave not asked, and why, because they "don't care"; their words, not mine. The same goes for the management, if you could call it that. Very single sided, no customer service. Told us to take our complaints to their superiors, with no sense of closure. Third world staff with third world hospitality. Next wedding you're better off at Jack in the Box...
