If you are planning to get the stockyards station venues for your wedding or special party please stay away! Shay Lawson is horrible to communicate with, she is not attentive or doesn't answer her emails on a timely matter. I waited 2 months for her to answer a few questions because quote "I am sooo busy right now with parties going on in November and December Christmas parties…so I have not been too terribly focused on my 2017 spring/summer events". Professionalism at its best, how can you answer that to a bride planning her own wedding?!. The day of my wedding the bartender charged my guests for hosted drinks!. Drinks that I had already paid for!. When I informed Shay about it she defended him and told me I couldn't accused him of stealing but my guest paid cash for those drinks so it is more than obvious!. The count that was submitted as a final bill could have included drinks that he also charged. He turned in a bigger amount of soft drinks than what it was ordered. Bottom line I got screwed over by the bartender and they can't do anything about it. She said they will solve it on their end. Here I am writing this almost 3 months after my wedding and I have not received a call of a follow up or anything at all.
Another issue I had was the week of the wedding Shay asked for my last count I had paid for 100 guests; I had 106 adults and 11 kids at the time she asked. I asked her if we could do extras after the wedding because I clearly stated I didn't want to overpay. She said no and told me I had to turn in a final count. I end up having 99 adults and 11 kids at the wedding. I asked if it could be modified at first she said no but then complied after I mentioned she could of had more empathy and said yes to bill later like contract states since it wasn't a huge difference in guests.

Shay at Stockyards Station made planning the wedding very easy. She was always highly responsive and helpful. Everyone at the wedding said it was the most FUN they have ever had, & I believe it is largely due to the laid back, rustic atmosphere of the event rooms. My only complaint is we were fully expecting both sides of the room to have a buffet, because that is what we were told, but they only set up on one side because we had less than 200 people. The final head count we submitted was under 200 so I'm not sure why we weren't given that information. Either way, the guests didn't mind waiting in line and it wasn't a hue deal at all. Would definitely recommend Stockyards Station in the future.

Shay at Stockyards Station is awesome. She is so friendly and responsive. We were able to enter our venue the day before to set up. Our venue was huge and everyone loved the way it looked. It was well maintained and clean. We had an absolute blast, along with all our guests. The atmosphere the Stockyards creates is just so inviting. Shay really took the reigns and kept us in the loop for everything we needed to book.
