A+++ Wedding Venue
We had our wedding at Ballantyne Country Club, and it was an absolute dream come true! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the venue was and how delicious the food tasted—it truly exceeded all expectations.
The event staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly throughout the entire day. They made sure every detail was perfect and that our guests felt well taken care of.
A special shoutout goes to Anano—she is simply the BEST! Her experience in event planning shines through in every interaction. She’s highly organized, detail-oriented, and has an incredible ability to anticipate your needs before you even realize them. We included her as our day-of coordinator in our package, and it was by far one of the best decisions we made. Thanks to Anano, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day without worrying about timing or logistics—she had everything running smoothly from start to finish.
If you’re considering Ballantyne Country Club for your wedding, do it! And definitely ask for Anano—you’ll be so glad you did.-

Amazing Venue!!
We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at BCC! We fell in love with the entire space during our initial tour more than a year prior to our wedding date, and then fell in love with it all over again once the space was all set up for our day. The whole staff at BCC was so great and ensured that our party had everything we needed the day of. We wanted to include a special thank you to everyone who helped set up our ceremony inside at the last second. The final row of chairs were being set up for the ceremony outside when a storm rolled in and forced us to change our plans. The team shifted focus and set up our dream ceremony inside the Great Room, all just 2 hours before the ceremony was set to begin. The two of us and our guests had a blast celebrating our marriage and BCC played a huge part in that. Thank you BCC!! -

Highly recommend
We LOVED working with Christina and Amanda at Ballantyne Country Club. These ladies are miracle workers- they are personable and professional and met with us in person or over the phone whenever we needed. The Ballantyne Country Club space itself is beautiful. Because we knew we wanted to have our ceremony and reception in the same place, it was important to us to have some sort of flow to the evening so people didn't feel like they were in one space for too long. This venue did just that! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all held in different spaces. While we planned for the ceremony to be outside, moving it inside due to cold weather worked out even better than I could have imagined. The staff was accommodating to this switch and everything ran so seamlessly. I am forever grateful! :) -

The Best Day
The venue itself is amazing but what really made it were the people who helped. Amanda and her team are so hands on and amazing. On the day of my sister remarked "Man, they really know what they're doing." Everyone was where they needed to be and at the right times which couldn't have happened without Amanda. Amanda was so flexible with the changes that we made, and we made a lot. She was always very responsive and gave us advice on what would work better to make our day seamless. The food and his/hers specialty drinks were phenomenal. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you Amanda and the Ballantyne Country Club team! -

Couldn't be more perfect!
Ballantyne Country Club was outstanding! Amanda and Christine were so extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process and were angels the day of our wedding. Everyone loved the food and the cake. Pricing was very reasonable. There are so many beautiful places for pictures. Can't give enough positive feedback! :) -

Best wedding reception ever at bcc
I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT HAVING MY WEDDING RECEPTION AT BCC! Amanda and her team are so creative, prompt, kind and fun! They were so accommodating with my work schedule and met with me multiple times to make sure my reception was perfect. Amanda coordinated with all of my other vendors for me, which was so sweet and relieved wedding stress. I have been in multiple weddings and never I repeat never have i been apart of one that ran absolutely perfect... but luckily mine did because of BCC! They even made my husband and I to go food when we left our wedding ceremony! The food was so delicious and had so many options for my wedding guests... My guests were raving about it! If you want a stress free wedding that is coordinated to perfection with delicious food — BOOK BCC! -

Best Venue Around!
We LOVED having our reception at the Ballantyne Country Club. We choose to have our wedding off site in a church (although you can have it there). We had our cocktail hour and reception at the country club. Amanda and her team were great to work with, along with so helpful. We worked together for over a year planning this wedding and they were amazing. The venue was beautiful that required minimal decorations. They hosted our cocktail party, band, dance floor, and seated dinner beautifully and flowed great. Our guest had nothing but great things to say about our venue, food, and drinks. This is a amazing venue choice! And the ballantyne area is a great option for out of town guest to stay at and have alot to do without being in the hustle of uptown! -

Amazing venue that gave us the best day of our lives!
My husband and i recently were married at the BCC and we could not have had a better experience. Throughout our planning process, I was able to ask questions when necessary, and we really felt special when on-site for planning meetings (tour, tasting, rehearsal, etc). I can not say enough great things about Amanda and Christina, the CC's wedding planners. They ensured that the day itself was executed flawlessly which allowed for myself, my husband, and my family to focus on enjoying the day. They also added a number of wonderful touches like setting aside cocktail hour appetizers for my husband and I to enjoy alone before returning to the party to start the rehearsal. This might seem like something small, but in the moment means a lot. On top of the service, the culinary team is top notch. Our guests loved the food and the bar staff was great in working with us to have a number of local Charlotte beers from OMB, Sugar Creek and Sycamore. Getting married at the Ballantyne Country Club truly was one of the best decisions my husband and I made throughout our planning process, would recommend every time! -

Amanda is unbelievable!
Amanda was such a great partner to work with from start to finish. During our initial walk through, she made it known she would help bring our vision to life. I loved that there was no 'set' way to have an event. We had endless options for everything. Cocktail hour outside under the market lights was the PERFECT way to start the evening. Highly recommend this to any bride / groom. My husband and I had the opportunity to have dinner together alone, upon our request. Amanda made sure we had everything we needed, from drinks, to apps, to a place to freshen up, and more. I cannot say enough great things about her help, and the rest of the staff at BCC. Everyone was very accommodating, fun, and most of all made my wedding the best day ever. -

Perfect Venue!
If you are looking for the perfect place for a beautiful wedding and a great reception, you need to visit Ballantyne Country Club. My daughter had her wedding and reception at BCC at the beginning of November 2018 and it could not have been more perfect or more beautiful! She and her girls spent the day at BCC getting ready and enjoyed a fabulous lunch along with mimosas. The accommodations for doing hair, makeup and getting dressed were perfect. The wedding was outside on the green area and was absolutely gorgeous. The reception was on the upstairs patio, which provides a great view and plenty of space. The hors-d'oeuvres were delicious as were the drinks. The reception area for dinner and dancing was decorated flawlessly, and the food was fantastic. The entire day and night could not have been better.
BCC is a great venue for your wedding but becomes a perfect venue with the hard work of Amanda McCleery and the rest of the staff. Planning the event was easy due to Amanda's expertise, energy, and hard work. Under her leadership, the entire staff worked very hard to accommodate all of our guests and provided us with excellent service. Amanda took care of every detail prior to and during the event. More importantly, she and the staff took great care of my daughter and her new husband for the entire evening. We did not have to do anything except enjoy this wonderful day! Many thanks to Amanda and the entire team!

Staff & venue is top notch! Still on Cloud 9 and feel like we'll never come down. Thank yoU Amada for your expertise. Your suggestions were all on point. The BCC accommodations are unmatched. Our wedding was a Whirl Wind (Apparently how they all are? ), either way Amanda made it comfortable and memorable. Look no Further! -

Ballantyne Country Club
Ballantyne Country Club was an incredible place to have our wedding. The combination of beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces allows for many great options for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Amanda was an amazing coordinator who went out of her way to customize the day for us and was extremely flexible and creative. Our guests raved about the food, decor, and service. We'd wholeheartedly recommend BCC and we can't imagine working with a better team. -

Ballantyne Country Club--Outstanding job !!!
I am the father of the bride who celebrated her wedding reception at the Ballantyne Country club on August 4th.
I first want to apologize for the delay in this e:mail.
I want to send a special thanks to "all" connected to the club in providing an absolute incredible reception for my daughter Amanda. The professionalism and attention to detail that was exhibited by all staff members at the club was over the top !!!
My wife and I are originally from New York and we wanted to provide my daughter with the closest thing to a "New York " wedding reception and I (and many the majority of the New Yorkers that were in attendance) can tell you that your organization hit the mark. The cocktail hour was great and everybody raved about the main courses of Salmon, Beef and Chicken-- well done !!!
I would also like to acknowledge one particular individual, Amanda McCleery.
We started working with Amanda over a year before the actual wedding and i can't tell you how impressed we all where. Her attention to detail was outstanding, everything that we discussed over the year leading up to the reception was well documented and spot on. We knew where we stood and did not experience any "surprises" throughout the process. Amanda's communication, particularly with my daughter, was timely clear and concise !! What we really appreciated most was her professionalism and warmth. She allowed us to present and discuss many details of the reception and interjected in a very professional manner, when asked or felt she needed to. We appreciated her warmth, she made us feel at ease and we felt like we where dealing with someone who really cared.
Great job Amanda !!!
Again, I want to thank your organization for being a part of my Daughter's special day and contributing in making her dream come true !!

Ballantyne Country Club
We are so incredibly thankful we picked BCC for our wedding! The food was delicious , the staff was professional and gracious throughout the entire process, and the grounds were beautiful for our outdoor ceremony! Amanda, the events manager was remarkable and I cannot even imagine planning our wedding without her help. She was extremely accommodating , creative, patient, and was able to make all of our ideas come to life! Amanda really went above and beyond our expectations. We would choose BCC again every time! -

Simply Perfection!
My wedding reception at the Ballantyne Country Club was truly a dream come true! Amanda and the rest of the staff were amazing leading up to my wedding and throughout the entire day. I always felt included in all of the decisions and Amanda would always be sure to ask me about my opinions and thoughts for my special day. The staff was so well organized that I did not have to worry about a thing; they took care of everything. My wedding was at the beginning of August and I still have family and friends raving about what a wonderful day it was. When I think back on my wedding, I wouldn't have changed a thing; everything was handled so professionally. Highly recommend Ballantyne Country Club for your special day! -

I am so glad that we chose Ballantyne Country Club as my daughter’s venue for her wedding. We had looked at other places and arrived at the conclusion that Ballantyne was the choice. Not only did the outdoor scenery provide the perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony, the building and the grounds provided for great pictures as well. The outside patio during cocktail hour was fantastic!! Food was great also! I think for the packaged services that you get at BCC was very wise since at many other places all of your wedding needs are itemized and priced separately, which can add up quickly. Also the wedding coordinator, Amanda, which is included in the club package was so super!! She worked with us from beginning to end. She took excellent notes and even reminded us of details we had talked about previously! She was so great to work with. She was extremely responsive and was so calm and patient with every single detail and orchestrated the big day with professionalism and ease. Great job!! The BCC was a great choice for us and exceeded all of our expectations and made for a very memorable day for all of our family and for my daughter’s special day. The staff at BCC was also very attentive and cared for each guest and made sure items were taken care of immediately. They were professional and courteous. I would say BCC was an absolute fabulous venue and their staff and Amanda were top notch. It was a great day!!! Thank you BCC and especially Amanda!! mom of bride - H Dorso -

I had my wedding there on May 5th of 2018 and it was everything a bride could ever need! From the staff, to the food, and the wedding coordinator, Ballantyne Country Club is the one to beat. Ballantyne wedding packages covered everything a ceremony and reception needed! I personally loved how Ballantyne did the packages when it came to the essentials for my ceremony and reception. It was like everything was wrapped into a perfect present with a bow on top for me. Depending on what package you chose, the one I chose included a four hour open bar, action stations for the food, chairs for the ceremony, dance floor, the cake for the ceremony and of course the venue itself and much more! Having those packages made everything easy when it came to planning. They have different packages, so pick one that works with your budget! I had my ceremony and reception there, so lets start with how beautiful the outdoors were at the Ballantyne Country Club for my ceremony. The greenery was perfect with the trees are around you and with the market lights, what more could a bride want! It was like a blank canvas so I had options with what I wanted my ceremony to look like. Ballantyne provided all the chairs as well!Do not even get me started on the food there! The food there was exquisite. Since food was in my package, I didn’t have to worry about the caterer. If you choose Ballantyne as your venue and can’t decide what side you want, choose the mashed potatoes, your guests will thank you in advance! They have tons of options for you to choose from and everything was all tasty. The staff there were on point. All of my guests were tended to and were please with how nice and tentative they were! The most important staff member there was the wedding coordinator Amanda. I could write a book about how perfect Amanda was, but she was the bow on my perfect package at Ballantyne Country Club. Amanda is your go-to person. She knows the venue inside and out. -

If you are looking for a top notch wedding venue location look no further! There was no doubt that BCC was the right venue for our wedding. The club is a beautiful setting for both indoor and outdoor weddings. Amanda was AMAZING to work with. She was responsive, helpful, organized, and just all around awesome. She helped make the wedding planning much easier and I felt more at ease the day of knowing she was looking over things! We wanted to have our cocktail hour outside but it was supposed to rain so we had it in the foyer. It ended up working out perfectly! The main reception hall was perfect for our 135 guests. It fit everything very well without being crammed. The food was outstanding! We are still getting compliments about how great the appetizers, food and service were. The staff was great as well! I would highly recommend Ballantyne Country Club as a wedding venue location. It couldn't have been more perfect!-

Our wedding at Ballantyne Country Club was absolutely incredible! From the beginning stages of planning to our wedding day, Amanda and the team made sure everything was perfect! Amanda was so creative and helpful in planning and when I couldn't stand to make another decision, she was there with advice. She even helped bustle my dress during our cocktail hour!! The food was delicious, the drinks were always full, and our guests were accommodated all night! Our family and friends have told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We're so happy we had our wedding at BCC! -

The Ballantyne Country Club did an outstanding job with my daughter's wedding one week ago. Amanda McCleery took care of all the intimate details and stayed in touch with us throughout the planning timeline. The Wedding day was executed flawlessly in all areas. The details for the decorations were so intimate and classic that the whole ceremony to reception was very romantic. The food was outstanding, cake was delicious, staff was very attentive to our guests and the DJ that you recommended was fantastic. We received rave reviews from all of our guests and all enjoyed it immensely. You dream of your daughters wedding for a lifetime and Ballantyne made these dreams come true. As parents, we didn't have to worry about any details or activities being completed because Amanda & her team did all of that plus more than we could have expected. The entire process was so smooth, timed perfectly and beautiful beyond words. My husband & I are forever grateful for the flexibility BCC gave our family to plan the Wedding for our daughter and the gorgeous and intimate setting created by Amanda McCleery. If you are planning a Wedding in the Ballantyne/Charlotte area go to see Amanda at the Ballantyne Country Club to see the beautiful setting and value you can get for a wedding. We are very proud and thankful parents that we decided to have our daughter's wedding at the Ballantyne Country Club. Amanda, you are the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Chris & Christine Greenlee -

If you are looking for a beautiful wedding/reception venue and the best care you could ask for you should look no further, as Amanda and the Ballantyne Country Club are superb. Amanda is calm, cool, collected, and the one of the happiest and hardest workers I have ever interacted with. She provided great customer service leading up to the wedding (easy to get ahold of, easy to schedule visits and taste testing’s) and provided phenomenal service on our wedding day. I wanted to decorate with a few small pieces on my own and brought her a box of our decorations and all dressing items for my ~20 or so family members who needed to get dressed for the reception at the club. She made sure to include every decoration and detail I requested, and even packed it all up for my parents at the end of the night. We were able to eat, drink, dance, and enjoy our night together without being stressed about a single detail. At the end of the night we were sent home with delicious chicken wraps, snack crackers, and even a box full of some of the sweets at the reception we forgot to try. Amanda was wonderful, and I can’t thank her enough for being so thorough and kind.

We are so grateful we chose Ballantyne Country Club for our wedding! From our first meeting with Amanda, we knew we were going to be well taken care of and our experience did not disappoint! Amanda ensured that the food and beverage we selected matched our vision for the event and she spent hours with my family ensuring we were comfortable with our choices. Luckily, the weather agreed with us on our wedding day so we were able to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space for our cocktail hour and dancing. With the market lighting, patios, and beautifully manicured event lawn, Ballantyne Country Club has the best outdoor event space in Charlotte! -

Thank you for the outstanding service we received on 5/27/17. Every encounter we had with Amanda and the staff along the way was an absolute pleasure. It was wonderful as the mother of the bride to relax and know that they had all the details under control. I feel very lucky that we had a true professional attending to this important event! The detailed notes Amanda took surprised me! I had actually forgotten some of the items we mentioned until she brought them up at our final meeting. Bravo!
All went off exquisitely. The staff was amazing, as always. We feel like we have lifelong friends at BCC and only wish we had another daughter to marry so we could use them and the staff again! -

We had out wedding at Ballantyne Country Club on 11/19/16 which was amazing because they happened to have space available on about 4 weeks notice for our 40-person guest list. I worked with Amanda to plan the ceremony and reception and she was fantastic. She asked plenty of questions during planning to make sure everything would be as I envisioned and made suggestions regarding flow of events. The whole day went off without a hitch. Amanda kept me informed as to what was next/timing so that I could really just enjoy the day, my new husband, and our guests. There was another event the same night (which they informed us of before we booked and we were OK with it) but you would never know it as we received top notch service the entire night. The entire staff at BCC was pleasant and helpful through everything. I can't say enough good things about BCC. Planning a wedding in 4 weeks was daunting, but Amanda coordinated everything perfectly and our wedding was absolutely amazing. -

My husband and I had our wedding here last week and we had the best time of our lives! The venue is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better planner/team. Amanda the event planner completely blew us away with her ability to take control and make things happen, even at the last minute. The food was delicious, and we still haven't stopped receiving compliments of how pleased everyone was with their meal. Ballantyne Country Club over exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful! -

Ballantyne Country Club was the perfect place to have our wedding! We were thrilled with the each staff member on our wedding day. The service and food were excellent and the dining hall looked beautiful! Emily and Lauren were two awesome people to have by our side throughout the whole wedding planning process. Lauren ran the show on our wedding weekend and she did an amazing job. She has great experience and it showed especially on our special day. She was very attentive and the dining room was set up exactly how we discussed. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the decor, food, and service were. Thank you Emily and Lauren for making our wedding day perfect! -

I loved Ballantyne Country Club! Kelley is such a joy to work with also! She worked very hard with what I wanted and ran the reception wonderfully. It was a great value for what you got. The reception was beautiful and a wonderful place for photos as well. The food was delicious and Kelley even made my husband and I dinner to go since it is so hectic trying to eat at your own wedding! Highly reccommend! -

My daughter selected Ballantyne Country Club after visiting numerous venues. This one stood out. The facility is beautiful, the staff is friendly and efficient, the food is good, and Emily Burgholzer, the Director of Special Events, was very helpful. We had a band and everything was well coordinated. Emily helped us by responding to the many questions you have when planning a wedding. She listened, gave helpful advice based on her experience, and was there on the day of the wedding to make sure things went smoothly, and they did. The club was set up beautifully & reflected the bride's vision for their special day. Guests commented on the friendliness of the staff. When my daughter threw her bouquet, unfortunately it hit the table behind her, knocking over & breaking a glass. Staff was alerted, & quickly took care of it so none of the guests (who were dancing barefoot), were injured.
We wanted to do an after dinner snack & the price was outside of our budget. Emily explored other options, talked to the chef, and they were able to offer the snack within budget.
I misplaced, and forgot to gather some of our things at the end of the night. The staff had collected them & they were all placed in a room for us to pick up. Everything was accounted for.
The reception was beautiful and EXCEEDED our expectations. Friendly staff, great chef, efficient venue director, beautiful venue! -

We are very happy with our choice in venue for the ceremony and reception! Ballantyne made it a seemless process to transition from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. They worked with us to serve our favorite hors d'oeuvres and wines, even though they weren't included in the drink/meal packaged we chose. The food was delicious and they made sure that me and my husband were taken care of the entire night. There are many beautiful areas to take pictures, with the stone walls, greenery, bridge and waterfall. While I do not have many negatives, I would say the following are things to note: the bridal suite/women's lounge has a flowery wallpaper and green carpet that is seriously outdated (as of 5/14/16.. may have been changed since then)... I elected to get ready at my parent's home instead because I did not want pictures with that wallpaper in it; there were several event planners that worked with us throughout the time we had booked the venue, it seemed as if there was constant turnover... they transitioned from one another well, but it was inconvenient to keep meeting with a new person that was supposed to be in charge of our day; it's a fancy country club, so the price reflects that. Nevertheless, Ballantyne was a beautiful venue and I am so happy we got married there! We'd recommend it to other brides/grooms looking for a country club wedding with delicious food! -

The location is beautiful. We had to go with the rain plan and their staff handled the change seamlessly. Our guests said the food was great and we liked that the cake was included in the cost. It was nice to have a day of coordinator, but very annoying that the coordinator changed hands 3 times since first looking at the venue. Make sure you work with the vendor to know exactly what to bring to the venue and when. We didn't know we were supposed to bring escort cards prior to the event day until the last minute.
As far as the value of the venue goes, it seemed that they were stingy on a few things. For example, someone came into our bridal room while. We were getting ready and saw we were starving. They offered to bring us wraps which I thought was really nice. A few days into our honeymoon, we got the bill for that food. This isn't a big deal, but it would have been nice to know up front that there was a cost.
They also told us that we were the only event at the venue, but we were slightly surprised when we saw country club members coming in and out of the venue all day. Although they never said that we had the place to ourselves, we misunderstood what renting the place out meant. In our opinion, they seemed to misrepresent what we were renting.
All in all, beautiful place and would recommend it as long as you fully go through the details and know exactly what you are getting into. -

When we first booked Ballantyne, we were sold mostly by the event coordinator that worked there. Halfway until our wedding, we were informed that the original event coordinator left the club and a new hire would take her place. This jumbled up the flow of our expectations as we were told certain things from the first person then trying to work with a new person was difficult. In all, the place is gorgeous and my guests STILL rave about how awesome the food was. I'm very grateful for that. However, the new hire event coordinator was hardly seen at the reception. Neither myself, husband or parents could ever find her to get help if we needed something. The most horrifying moment for us was cutting the cake. First of all our sparkling juice was not in place as we had stated and nobody on staff was around to help us cut the cake, distribute it, etc. My mother had to help us and even in at the moment we were all looking for the coordinator and she was nowhere to be found. Finally, some staff took over and cut all the slices. How embarrassing not so much for us but the club itself. At the end of the night my husband and I didn't even hardly get to eat. Nobody packed us a to go box with anything except cake. Honestly, this is such a beautiful place but the communication needs some work. -

The Ballantyne country Club is a beautiful venue and Danielle, the wedding and events manager was both responsive and helpful. Flexibility was rated low because the bride was not allowed to come the night before and set up her display tables. These had to be done the day of the wedding which was very stressful. Also, no homemade cookies could be brought in- everything had to be purchased through the Country Club which was very expensive. I purchased the plated dinners in which the portions of the salad and side-items were quite insufficient, though food quality was good. But most annoying were the servers constantly trying to remove food/drink items from your table without permission. Some guests were dancing with drink in hand so it wouldn't get taken at their table. And by the way, I was paying per drink consumption. At the end of the night, after telling the clean-up staff I wanted several of the large flower arrangements and having them carted to the front door- a staff member still removed them and threw them away. I cried because I was planning to give some to guests and dry some as a remembrance. So if using this venue, I would suggest quickly removing items including bathroom baskets, cookies, and flowers or they will turn up missing or get thrown away! -

Ballantyne Country Club is a beautiful ceremony and reception venue. The club staff was very helpful and flexible in arranging our ceremony and reception, and they kept us up-to-date on weather-related changes, as needed. The end result was absolutely beautiful.
However, several issues arose through the planning process. Our budget was largely ignored, and it took many revisions of the menu to get it right. The catering staff on the day-of was wonderful, but the kitchen could not cut the cake in a timely manner, and many guests were not served cake. It felt a bit disorganized and chaotic. -

When we first arrived to the Ballantyne Country Club, we were blown away by their beautiful views and decided to select them as our wedding ceremony and reception venue. We had high customer service expectations for our special day and figured that they would provide us with it since they are a prestigious private club. Regrettably, Amanda was assigned as our wedding coordinator. The planning process was difficult and stressful because she is highly incompetent. She failed to read emails, follow instructions, not to mention her constat attitude problem when we needed to make changes or simply asked questions. We always felt as if she never took our wedding seriously. It got to the point where we wanted to have a new coordinator assigned to us, but we were so close to the big day that we did not have the time to put a new person up to speed. The coordinator decided to go on vacation the entire week prior to our wedding which made us incredibly uncomfortable. The day of the wedding she was rude and her negative attitude was so noticeable that even our family members commented on it. We never really understood why she had this approach but it was unfair, disrespectful and disappointing. No one should be treated this way on their special day. If you decide to have your wedding celebration here, which does not come with a cheap price tag, ensure to ask for a different coordinator. -
