Poor Management and Communication

The DelRay does not follow up with emails in 24 hours, and sometimes you have to email them/call multiple times for response. Shelley is a terrible manager and is on her 3rd Event Director in under a year. We met with Shelley and she herself said she has a lot of turnover of staff. Which I assume comes from poor leadership. She does not care about her clients at all, and only cares about her business. Yes it's pretty and a good package, but not worth it for the people that you have to deal with. KEEP LOOKING, a reception venue is a big part of a wedding. You will spend most of your big day there, and need good communication and professionalism which is NOT the DelRay. They will ruin your experience.

Great Experience

So far I have had a great experience with the DelRay. Amanda, the wedding coordinator, is super nice! She was able to put a table together with a table cloth so I could test out one of my table centerpiece ideas. I am super excited for our big day to come!!

The owner was extremely unprofessional, rude and very hard to work with. She was more concerned about her title as owner than the actual paying customer. She even called us liars to our face not once but twice on separate occasions! Which is crazy because she wasn't even working with our account!! She would just step in and mess up agendas.. Even her staff would roll their eyes when she would get involved. The husband Stan was easy to work with but he was pretty flakey. He seamed like a busy guy. We went through 3 different event assistants.. They are not very organized. I felt like we had to be very repetitive. Our reception turned out nice but the level of stress involved was unnecessary. And watch out for all the additional service charges they throw on towards then end.. What a headache.
