Unprofessional, Disorganized, and a Serious Security Issue leading to Theft
While the venue itself is beautiful, our experience was extremely disappointing. The day before our wedding was chaotic — tables weren’t set up as agreed, mismatched chairs were provided (one even broke under a guest), and our detailed seating chart was implemented haphazardly and incorrectly, causing many guests to be seated in socially uncomfortable places and in spaces that didn’t account for physical limitations. Our bridal suite, rented for two nights, was poorly maintained — housekeeping never emptied the garbage or refilled toilet paper or towels, leaving me unable to use the bathroom when I woke up the morning after our wedding.
On the wedding day, staff were rude and dismissive toward us and our bridal party. We weren’t served any cocktail hour food, and my husband and I were never even welcomed to the buffet for dinner. Despite drinkware being part of our contract, the venue provided only one cup per guest for the entire night and refused to wash or restock them — my bridal party even had to DoorDash additional cups. I was also scolded multiple times throughout the night.
To make matters worse, several wedding cards were stolen from our card box. Police obtained the venue’s security footage and confirmed a 40-minute lapse in the recording right after a guest left for the after-party.
We attempted to address these issues formally with the owner, but instead of responding personally, our letter was passed to the coordinator. The response we received was defensive, exaggerated, and contained untrue statements.
The venue has potential, but the lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic security completely tainted what should have been the best day of our lives. I would not recommend this venue to any couple.
