I was excited about the venue for my June wedding. When I arrived on the day of my wedding to setup the venue, the owner was showing the venue to an interested bride. Which at that time, I wasn't very alarmed. However, he proceeded to show the venue to two other groups of people. One of the groups were there at 3 PM and my wedding started at 6 PM. I think this is very unprofessional since I had booked the venue from 10 AM - 12 midnight. Basically, he thought nothing of my booking and was just interested in making more money. I didn't feel comfortable trying to get ready for my wedding because of all the strange people coming in and out of the dressing room area. The owner was also extremely rude to the caterer when she was delivering food, she had propped open the door in order to unload the van which was just outside the kitchen area. The owner kicked the block that was holding the door open so the lady had to open and close the door each time she was bringing in the pans of food. Upon me requesting the additional tables and chairs be removed from the reception area instead of leaving them prompted up against the walls, he basically asked where he would put them and told me I would have to help move them when the wedding was over because his help would be gone. So my family and I moved the chairs ourselves to the small area outside the kitchen. Everyone was gone from the wedding venue by 11 PM. Therefore, he should have accommodated my request to move the extra tables and chairs without complaint. Also, the wedding arbor was very unsteady and I was unable to attach any flowers to it because of it falling over. Therefore, I wasted money on flowers that were not able to be used for the wedding ceremony. Over all the wedding venue was nice and my wedding went well. However, I was disappointed in the handling of my venue by the owner.
Beautiful venue. Parking is a bit tricky for even a small-mid sized wedding, but it works out.
