Well, actually I have been there. I was there for a wedding. And yes, I was never a client. My reviews are my own and are based on my own experiences. I am always fair in my reviews and honest in my assessments. Regardless of opinions of some, my review is exactly what I experienced. Whether I personally have done business is irrelevant to my assessment of the location/venue.
I was most appalled at the lack of sanitary restrooms. The door on the stall on the right would not lock and the stench in the stall on the left was abhorrent. The toilets are really camping (chemical) toilets used in smaller RVs. There is no ventilation and so on the day we were there, it was like a furnace in the bathroom.
I had wished that they would have real flowers and not all of the silk flowers they had everywhere. The barn was nice, but hot with so many openings blocked.

I do know my friend and his lovely bride did have a good time. Their weddings was great and they were able to accommodate all in their party. So everything is subjective to the individual.
It's frustrating that the owners won't simply accept a review based on what I observed. They are entitled to their opinions as I am I. That said, I commend them for their commitment to provide an...
