I had an extremely disappointing and upsetting experience at [Montalvo Arts Center ] on [June 22, 2024 ]. We called ahead to confirm that my sister could take photos for her 15th birthday, and we were assured that it was allowed as long as we left by 4 PM due to a scheduled event. Weeks in advance. However, when we arrived, we were quickly approached by a very rude and unprofessional employee [Bri] who hosted the wedding on (June 22,2024) who informed us that we were not allowed to take photos. Her behavior was harassing, inappropriate and unprofessional especially towards the minors, including my sister. Despite our explanation, she insisted that we couldn't even take photos with our personal phones and threatened to call the sheriff to make us leave sooner. To make matters worse, this lady took photos of all the boys and girls at my sister's party without their consent, and continue harassing the kids which is completely unacceptable. The whole situation was handled very poorly and left us all feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. I strongly advise others to reconsider visiting [Montalvo Arts Center ], especially for any special occasions. The way we were treated was unprofessional and inappropriate. I hope the management addresses this behavior and improves their staff training to prevent such incidents in the future.
