I had my wedding at this venue on June 12, 2021. We were there on June 11th to decorate and the manager said the ac person was out a week before and said nothing was wrong with it. Offering nothing but a fan we dealt with the heat. I confronted her about this problem multiple times, she literally did not care. No technician was ever called that I am aware of. The director told the manager that everyone had to have a mask on in the building. No one was there while we decorated and yet they still wanted us to wear a mask while we are sweat down working. On our wedding day, June 12th it was still so hot and now there are more people in the building. Manager said it was because of windows and the way the building was built. Airports are freezing so that’s no excuse. Even through in it’s a state operated facility. Not my problem. My family paid a lot of money to have our wedding there and they did not care. Rude people. After the wedding groups of us was cleaning up and Sherry the manager is throwing our on cloud shoes away. We are missing an Apple Watch and expensive clothing. She told my sister in law things left was trash! We was down stairs cleaning and had not got back to the rooms to get our clothes yet. Yes it was the rooms that we were getting ready for the wedding in before the wedding. I’m so upset about it all my guests was sweating and to deal with attitude as well just makes it worse. Do not get married here in the summer. Unless they get a different manager and director I would definitely not get married here. Half of our money should have been returned for this. Please look at reviews before you book places. I have learned my lesson...

I sent a follow up email and didn't get a response. I followed up a week later and still no response. I sent someone there today to get a video tour of the space and the "Director of operations" Sheri Cox was extremely rude. She told the person I sent there that they only work off appointments and no one, absolutely no one was in the building. I was on FaceTime and stated that I tried to email them and she became very defensive and started yelling. She showed them around and kept making smart remarks. I asked the person who went to tour to just leave. I called back and Ms. Sherri started yelling again on the phone. I asked for her supervisor and she stated she runs the plan and she is the supervisor. I will be following up the chain of command to rectify...
