Best venue

Hodge Podge Lodge was the perfect venue. It was everything I was looking for. Absolutely everyone there is a dream to work with. Becca was so incredibly helpful. She toured us around the venue and was our main contact person until it got closer to the wedding. She answered all of my questions (and there were a ton) very quickly and was so accommodating. We also had HPL cater our food and it was absolutely delicious. All of our guest talked about how much they enjoyed there meal. Veronica works with HPL as a coordinator and I can honestly say I could not have done any of this without her. She was so on top of everything. She decorated everything better than i could have imagined. She kept the day running smoothly and I will never be able to thank her enough for how perfect she made everything. HPL is definitely worth a visit.

HPL was the perfect choice for our wedding! The staff was so accommodating and did everything they could to make sure our day was perfect. The space was beautiful, and the food was delicious! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the Houston area!

I am absolutely in love with the HPL house! The staff is amazing and they're always working to make this wedding venue better and better! I would 100% recommend this to any couple looking for something unique and vintage inspired. We got married mid-October and we still receive many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was! We were also lucky to stay in the house the weekend after because we were unable to go on a honeymoon. Alfred and the breakfast every morning was the perfect start to our days as a newly wedded couple!

HPL owner and staff went above and beyond to make our family feel at ease with planning a wedding in such a short time frame. They helped us come up with a custom wedding package that was perfect for what we wanted. They were a pleasure to work with and we were very blessed to of had our family event at such a beautiful venue!

What blessing it was for us to have our wedding reception here. All staff beginning with the owners to our wedding planner, caterer, DJ, and clean up crew were beyond amazing and so nice. I never felt stressed or worried at any point. Everything was so organized and the night flowed so well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
Thank you so much, Hodge Podge Lodge! May God continue to bless your business for many years to come :)

I can not even begin to express how amazing Hodge Podge Lodge is. If you are looking to have a cozy and intimate wedding that feels like you are in your own home, this is the place for you! They are making a lot of updates right now, due to being under new owners and the updates boost the visual appeal of this place so much. We got married on November 19, 2016 and my husband and I thought it was perfect weather. (some thought it was to cold) They are extremely flexible and willing to work with you on any requests that you have. It is also worth every penny and is a fantastic deal for all of the things you get included.

We found HPL when we were looking for venues for my daughter's wedding. HPL was exactly what we were looking for. The house and lawns are beautiful and perfect for a quaint, smaller gathering. I cannot say enough about the staff. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Sophie and the rest of the HPL gang were so helpful and accommodating. Carolyn and John with Sweet Tea & Lines already know how much I love them. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was. You will not regret it.

Hodge Podge gave us nothing short of a superb wedding experience. We had a absolute blast. It was homey and comfortable. Caroline and Sophie was lovely and truly cared to provide every little detail for our big day. It was special and intimate. The facility speaks for itself. A historic home with lots of love all throughout that home and grounds made for a beautiful memory we will always have. Caroline and her husband John could not have been more professional and attentive to our vision. Caroline is truly talented . Thank you so much to everyone at Hodge Podge Lodge for giving as such a precious memory. Deanna Reinke

I couldn't have chosen a better venue to have my wedding at. Sophie and Carolyn were always there for me and if I had any questions, they would respond promptly. They made our day so special! I will never know everything they did for me but I thank them and Hodge podge lodge from the bottom of my heart. I also stayed in the rooms the night before with my bridesmaids and the experience was amazing! They really put effort in the tiny details and that makes it even more special.

Everything was amazing. Nothing could have been better. I was so nervous and the entire staff there was great and helped to put my mind at ease and everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony was beautiful, the staff was professional and friendly and there to help with whatever we needed whenever we needed. Our day could not have gone any better thanks to the amazing people at Hodge Podge.

Carolyn & John with Sweet Tea & Linens were amazing with the planning and decorating. Sophie (Wears a lot of hats, including bartender, love her!) and Alfred (wonderful chef) at HPL were also amazing. We had a wonderful wedding and reception and we truly appreciate all that they did to make our day special.. They truly go out of their way to make it a special event. The Parks ??

My husband and I had our wedding weekend here and it couldn't have been more beautiful. The room we stayed in was above the garage and very isolated from the rest of the house, in a good way! Plenty of privacy. Our whole family was staying in the house and we still felt alone and private when it was time for bed. So nice! The staff was amazing and far exceeded my expectations when it came to decorating for the wedding. Carolyn at Sweet Tea and Linen is amazing and made my dreams a reality. Couldn't have imagined it going any better. We all enjoyed our stay and will have to come back to celebrate anniversaries!! Thank you HPL!

This was the perfect venue for my wedding. In fact, I had a very intimate wedding with a small number of guests and it made us all feel very connected. In a nutshell, this romantic venue provides amazing services and the quality is definitely there. If you want the planning part of your wedding to be smooth, easy, and stress free, this is the place. I'm so grateful for the staff that was so kind and helpful! Definitely worth every penny I spent. Thanks!

This is the best venue you can find in Houston if you are looking for an intimate southern wedding.
I am originally from China, so I was looking for something I will never have in China. When I visit HPL, I know it is going to be amazing. Sophie and her team has been so helpful the entire time. I actually was not really involved on my wedding day since I was busy being a bride, but all my guests were telling me how great the facility and the bar is. They are so easy to work with, and will just make your big day so memorable!
The price is awesome and definitely exceed my expectation. The location is actually more convenient than any places close to downtown Houston, since most of our friends were from out of the town, and didn't need to go through the pain driving around downtown Houston and trying to find a parking spot.
The venue is simply beautiful and they have a pavilion for raining days. We use that and I wouldn't image a better ceremony place.
Love HPL!

Sophie was awesome and very accomodating. Sweet Tea and Linen who work with HPL were great. It rained in the morning of our wedding, but they were able to make a quick switch for the ceremony to the pavilion which panned out well! It is a good location for small weddings and has a very southern hospitality feel.

Hodge podge made the most exciting moment of my life picture perfect. The venue is beautiful, and the staff is beyond amazing. They are the friendliest people I have ever met. They were organized, made suggestions, and incorporated ideas I had as well. They also had a backup plan if it rained. My wife and I had the entire property for the weekend with our bridal parties and had a blast!

Hodge Podge Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. They made everything so easy and we had no worries on our big day! Sophie and Kyle were a hit with the guests and are so kind and helpful! Carolyn and John are amazing and took care of all the details! I would highly recommend Hodge Podge Lodge to anyone wanting a worry free and beautiful wedding and rehearsal dinner! We will be back to stay for the night :)

Too bad there isn't a 10 star! HPL went above and beyond to make sure that my stay and wedding was absolutely amazing! Carolyn and John from Sweet Tea and Linen are the wedding coordinators for HPL and were absolutely fantastic! They made my dream a reality with a beautiful wedding! So attentive and very catering to make sure that I just showed up on my wedding day and walked out the door down the isle! My guests raved how beautiful my wedding was! We stayed the whole weekend and really enjoyed the privacy and awesome breakfast both mornings! Sophie and her team the day of the wedding were so great! All my guests raved about how much fun they were! This venue made my wedding so intimate. The home itself is breathtaking, the backyard was perfect and i couldn't have asked for anything more!

The Hodge Podge Lodge was amazing! We did the weekender package, so we had the bed and breakfast for the whole weekend. It was so much fun waking up in the adorable house to have coffee with my maids, parents, and aunts before getting ready in the beautiful vintage sitting/bathroom. Carolyn, the coordinator/decorator, came with the package. She looked at my Pinterest and planned my wedding accordingly, she did an awesome job and I was so pleased with how the details came out! Each person at the Hodge Podge was so friendly and helpful. Our guests were blown away by how amazing the venue was. The wedding and reception were outdoors, with the option of sitting inside if needed. They had outdoor bird cages and lights, an old library room, and a cute cottage that we rented for extra people to stay in (it cost a little extra as well). The venue had amazing vendors, who were so kind and friendly, with reasonable prices. I loved venue and highly recommend this place to anyone getting married.

Hodge Podge Lodge is a beautiful venue, the staff is excellent, and our wedding experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this venue. When you see the grounds and meet everyone, you'll understand! The home is a historic property and the grounds are gorgeous. The owners are great - extremely kind, professional, and responsive. We had experiences with other venues that were not responsive at all before we found HPL, so I think this really sets them apart. Their decorator Carolyn is amazing to work with - so talented, kind, and organized. Their bartender Sophie was an absolute pleasure to work with - very professional and good to us and our guests. At the end of our wedding, my brother remarked on how organized and perfect it all went. By the way, we planned this wedding long distance! We live in Colorado - so that tells you how awesome and responsive HPL is. Definitely give this place consideration!!

I knew the moment I was on the property the first time that I wanted to get married at Hodge Podge Lodge. You completely forget about the outside world while you are there. The house is beautiful inside and out. Nicola offers much more than any other venue I looked into, and for such a great price. We chose to go with the largest package for our wedding, which included Carolyn from Sweet Tea & Linen as a coordinator. I'm so happy it did. She was always available and quick to respond to any questions I had. She made planning incredibly easy and our wedding had all the little touches I wanted. Our wedding really couldn't have been more perfect. Both my husband and I couldn't have been more pleased. I hope we can come back to HPL for our anniversary, I know we would enjoy our stay just as much.

I loved having my wedding at Hodge Podge Lodge! All of my friends wanted information on this venue afterward. Everything was beautiful, and I really appreciated how sweet and involved that the staff all were. I could tell that the guests' happiness and comfort were a priority. I will always remember how amazing our wedding was.

My future hubby and I are getting married at HPL this fall! We really feel that we have chosen the perfect venue for our style and taste. Nicola is a family friend of my parents, and she has been so sweet and accommodating since day 1. Carolyn Mills is the event decorator, with Sweet Tea & Linen. I can't even begin to start on how awesome, bubbly, sweet and excited she always is! The venue is a modern vintage styled B&B, with a shabby chic twist! It is just simply adorable. The venue space is mostly outside, with huge oak trees that are strung with lights, bird cages, and chandeliers for events. It's dainty, romantic, sweet, and the whole team at HPL is awesome!

I don't know that I can fully express how grateful I am for the entire staff at Hodge Podge Lodge.
Quality/Value: HPL as a venue was a dream-come-true. Family is very important to us, and HPL provided the perfect place to spend our wedding weekend with our parents and siblings. We got The Weekender package. We checked in Friday afternoon & checked out Sunday morning. What we paid for that full weekend is probably comparable to what you would pay for a single day at some reception venues. I was so relaxed the day of our wedding. Carolyn and John with Sweet Tea & Linens took care of all the decorating. There was other staff around setting up tables, centerpieces, hanging lights in the trees. I got to spend an amazing day with my mom and girlfriends getting ready. It all came together so beautifully and without any stress on my part.
Responsiveness/Professionalism: From day one, working with Nicola, all of her e-mail replies were incredibly prompt. It was great to be able to confirm things with her and check them off my list so quickly. That's another awesome plus you will get if you use HPL's preferred vendors. All of the preferred vendors know the location and are as professional and prompt as Nicola.
Flexibility: Outdoor weddings sometimes encounter Mother Nature. At a week and-a-half out, it looked like it was going to rain. My mom worked with Carolyn and Nicola to contact one of HPL's preferred tent providers. Luckily for us, (and this may not always be the case) we were able to have the tent set up the day before the wedding. And, because the tent provider had worked with HPL previously, the tent just looked like an extension of the already beautiful facilities.
My husband had so much fun at our wedding that he said to my dad "Let's do this again next year!"
I'm tearing up writing this. Like I said, I'm not sure I can fully express my gratitude. It was the most amazing weekend.

Our Ladies Sweetheart Tea was well attended and HPL got rave reviews from all who attended. The venue was comfortable, well-lit, warm, and the staff was so helpful and friendly. I loved being able to stay at the venue the night before so I wouldn't have to drive so far and then prepare the food. I would whole-heartedly recommend HPL for any event.

We had my daughters' wedding at the Hodge Podge Lodge on December 13, 2014.
This B&B is the best kept secret. The facility is intimate and inviting. We could not been more pleased. We reserved all three rooms which were large and comfy. We had the entire house to ourselves. This gave us time to visit with family and friends before the wedding.
Sweet Tea and Linens made my daughters' wedding a dream come true.
Sophie - what can I say....the best hostess around.
Our breakfast - delicious!!!!
Thank you - Hodge Podge Lodge for the wonderful memories.

The Hodge Podge Lodge was such a fantastic venue which really made our wedding special. Both Lera and I are visitors to the USA and we had a small intimate wedding with most of our guests coming from overseas, the place provided such a great setting where we will always remember a little part of Texas.

Everything was wonderful. We were able to turn everything over to HPL and enjoy the wedding and reception without worrying about a thing. We spent the weekend at HPL which made things so much easier for preparing and decorating. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.
Our guests were very complimentary about the site and said it was the most fun wedding they have been to.

Had such an amazing time staying here with my family for the weekend. The wedding was absolutely perfect and beautiful and EVERYONE raved and raved about how gorgeous this location was. I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else, and if you are looking for a gorgeous outdoor location look no further than the hodge podge lodge, you won't be disappointed!

We had our son's engagement party at Hodge Podge Lodge last weekend. It was a perfect evening. We had about 90 of our friends and family members join us for the celebration. I'm still hearing from people about how much they enjoyed it and how great the venue was. HPL is absolutely exquisite and completely comfortable at the same time. Nicola and John are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to hosting future events at the beautiful and historic Hodge Podge Lodge.

The Hodge Podge Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. They provided us with plenty of time for preparation the day of our event and excellent service and support.

My wedding and reception at Hodge Podge Lodge was beautiful and amazing!!! We were married around sunset under the trees. The courtyard patio area is perfectly decorated with delicate white lights, and lighted bird cages hanging from the trees. The atmosphere was relaxed. Our guests enjoyed being outside with the ability to go inside the main house if they wanted to. It was nice to arrive a few hours before the wedding and have a large bridal to get ready in. Nicola is very organized and worked diligently with us to ensure that our event was exactly what we wanted. Everyone at Hodge Podge works seamlessly to provide great service. Thank you for helping make our wedding and reception a dream come true!

We held our small intimate ceremony and dinner at Hodge Podge Lodge. Everything about this beautiful venue and location fit exactly what we wanted for our special day. Our wedding guests enjoyed the evening at HPL and those who stayed overnight got to enjoy more of the home (and a delicious breakfast). I highly recommend this venue. The staff are very professional and made wonderful vendor recommendations. The wedding packages are very reasonable for all this venue has to offer. Perfect venue for us~ 5 out of 5 stars! We plan to come back on our 1 year anniversary to stay overnight to celebrate and enjoy HPL again.

Hodge Podge Lodge was the PERFECT venue for my wedding. The staff was absolutely amazing! The day couldn't have gone any better, due to their attentiveness and help both on the day-of and ahead of time. I would recommend HPL to anyone looking for a beautiful place to throw a party! :-)

I am not sure that one review would be sufficient to describe the amazing-ness of HPL. We happened upon their website in June 2013 when we were beginning to plan out wedding. We wanted something fun and outdoors, intimate, and with attention to detail.
We planned the wedding from out of state and Nicola was so accommodating in giving us a tour one of the weekends we were in town in. We were in love and booked immoderately for our May 2014 wedding. We went ahead and did the “Weekender Package” knowing that we would be having guests from out of the area and the use of the 3 guest rooms would be helpful. We never had any issues accessing the venue for working our design details in the months leading up to the wedding and we even did our bridals there the week of the wedding (again, working with an out of state time line and there was no issue with doing that mid-week).
Now on the the day of! Starting that morning, the HPL team was busy getting all of the design elements together The ceremony and altar area were Pinterest- worthy and guest comments on how gorgeous the venue was! It is so tastefully decorated that you really do not need to add much else.
The venue has all the dedicated lighting and outlets for the DJ and a special area for a bar set up. The dance floor/patio area was a perfect size for our wedding. There is an indoor swoon-worthy living room area as well as a breakfast area for guests to sit and mingle inside.
Oh and the bridal suite! It is so cute and well decorated (love the bathtub). It was the perfect area for my bridesmaids to set up for the afternoon (we had hair and make up come to us).
We loved every minute of our wedding there and we hope that so many more couples discover this hidden gem.

Nicola, the owner operator, along with the staff at Hodge Podge Lodge were very helpful in not only supplying information/contacts for any service one might need for an event, but also for bringing to my attention things that I might have overlooked or want to consider. This was extremely helpful to someone like me who was serving as my own planner. We even stayed in Giddy's Cabin which was very clean and very well appointed. The breakfast was very tasty and over and above what I expected in presentation and specifically, what was served - not the normal mass produced scrambled eggs and donuts! The entire experience was top notch from start to finish.

The minute I walked in the door of Hodge Podge Lodge I fell in love with this venue. I knew I wanted our 30th Anniversary Party to be there. The people I have met and dealt with were awesome! Nicola is so easy to work with, and will go out of her way to make sure your event is perfect! We were so afraid it was going to rain! Nicola got on the phone and found a tent we could live with that would not interfere with all of our decorations. Thank you for everything! Can't wait to plan another event!

Although this was our first event to host at Hodge Podge Lodge, I am confident it will not be our last! Fantastic venue for an intimate holiday party! We felt right at home! Guests arrived to stay in the bedrooms for the night and our party didn't skip a beat! The ladies that attended loved the place and there were some discussing what kind of event they could host next! Thank you Hodge Podge Lodge - John and Nicola!!!

We could not have been happier with John and Nicola at Hodge Podge Lodge! They were so kind and accommodating with everything. It ended up raining a little and together we came up with a plan and it still turned out perfect! We purchased the Weekender package that included 3 sleeping rooms for the whole weekend and access to the wonderful wedding coordinator Kristin Van Hauen with Treasured Spaces that was a true blessing! We fell in love with HPL the minute we walked in the door and couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Montgomery or Conroe area. Kelly and Michael Bettencourt

When I heard that Nicola was opening a new venue I called her immediately to book my daughters wedding. And as I expected it was "over the top". It was a fairly tale wedding and the venue was absolutely beautiful. John and Nicola are such wonderful people to work with and the staff made everything come together perfectly. I highly recommend this venue for any of your event needs.
Loved loved loved it!

Hodge Podge Lodge is simply amazing! This is the best place to have your event. Nicola Weems and her team are so helpful and anticipate your every need. I definitely could not have pulled off my parent's 50th anniversary without them. We expected about 50 guests and 150 or so came. Everything went smoothly and the guests had a fabulous time.

I can't wait to find a reason to have another event at Hodge Podge Lodge!!!

Hodge Podge Lodge was the venue for our Church Ladies Luncheon. It was a beautiful place that accommodated our 22 ladies very well. Nicola was very professional and friendly in helping with our
menu choices. She allowed a tour of the bed and breakfast. She also arranged for some of the boutique ownders in town to come and promote their shops. Discount coupons were given to our ladies. Overall, a very nice place with very nice owners who accommodate you.

Every question I had was answered and every detail was taken care of professionally and with lots of love and lots of smiles.

I went to Nicola with only 7 weeks to plan it and they amazingly helped me make the wedding of our dreams a reality- she has amazing vendors and was able to give me wonderful suggestions that made it wonderful! John and Nicola were the perfect hosts! The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are wonderfully appointed for a peaceful night of rest! I can't say enough good things about HPL!! The location is in a perfect setting- easy access for guests and vendors on the big day! I can't wait to come back and stay again!!! Thank you for everything!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Hodge Podge Lodge. It is a beautiful, magical place for a wedding, and any other event for that matter. The friendliness and professionalism of Nicola and John was beyond outstanding. We were immediately made to feel at home. Each room in the house was comfortable and cozy and it was so nice to be able to stay there and just watch all the preparations. If I had another child getting married I would definitely do it at HPL again.

We had my parents' 50th Anniversary Party at the Hodge Podge Lodge and it was perfect. All the guests loved the charming venue, the comfortable surroundings and the inviting "attitude" of the house and grounds. I highly recommend this venue for any kind of party. I shopped around the whole area for the appropriate place, and the HPL was not only perfect, it was very fairly priced and easy to find for out-of-towners.

Hodge Podge is a beautiful venue ! It was a bit out of our price range but we don't regret booking at all, staff was on point and willing to help with everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated so we needed barely any decorating of our own. :) Loved our winter wedding

The wedding was beautiful, my daughter's guests loved Hodge Podge Lodge. We highly recommend HPL to anyone wanting a memorable wedding. And having the wedding party stay there the night of the rehearsal dinner and wedding was a perfect topper to the whole wonderful experience. Nicola and the HPL staff were top notched in every sense, and a pleasure to work with. They asked us to be critical so they could use our input to make the HPL experience better for future guests, but being critical is hard to do, The only thing we could come up with would be to suggest the event coordinator take a little more time telling the participants such as ushers and caterers when and where to be, and what to do. But make no mistake about it, the entire night provided a fairy tale wedding to our daughter. You won't find a better venue than HPL for a beautiful and wonderful wedding. Thank you Nicola!!!

The decorator became an almost "close friend" after all the emailing & help she gave over a year. She was very patient and The Day of Coordinator is divine and very professional.

LOVE HPL!

We thoroughly enjoyed having our rehearsal dinner at Hodge Podge Lodge. Our guests loved the atmosphere and decor. It proved to be a nice, casual setting where everyone could relax and have a good time. Nicola and John were always available if we needed anything at all, but they stayed tucked away and allowed our guests to mingle. Their recommendation of Sweet Tea and Linens was wonderful as well!

Overall, our wedding at HPL was great! Everything they said would get done, did get done. The ambience of the backyard/patio area was wonderful. I could not have asked for a better venue.

However, when I signed a contract the company was still very new. In the time that I booked it and the day of my wedding, many things had changed which made it very confusing. This is the main reason why I scored them lower on professionalism and flexibility. This should not happen to anyone else seeing as how they now have packages set.

If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely use HPL again!

Grounds were well kept. Nicola and John were very helpful in telling us where items were that we could use. Everyone carried on about the venue. Too beautiful

The venue was perfect. The only issue I had was the set up crew walking through the room we were trying to get ready in.

Disappointing!

Hodge Podge Lodge is an 1850s estate in Montgomery, Texas. Of all the places we visited, we loved Hodge Podge Lodge because of its historical significance, its beautiful grounds, and the food. Weddings and receptions are held either outside in the gardens or inside their glass conservatory. We booked the venue in July, 2021 for a late August, 2022 wedding. We had a very knowledgeable event planner who would coordinate the reception with my wedding planner and myself. We met several times to discuss plans. We met with the food coordinator in the spring of 2022. We decided on a menu of Shrimp Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, mashed potatoes, green beans, Mac and cheese besides the hors oeuvres. A week and a half before the wedding, I was still trying to get the layout of the room and called Hodge Podge Lodge. I come to find out their event planner, whom we had been working with for a year, no longer was employed there. Instead, the person who had taken her place had absolutely no idea about the coordination of our wedding reception. She was unable to answer my questions and had no idea where the notes that the previous person had taken. She did promise to send over the room layout to my wedding planner. It took several days before we got our request. We had over 100 guests coming, including some local VIPs, to the wedding. When my wedding planner and her assistant got their at noon on the day of the wedding, to start setting up, nothing was ready. And the reception was scheduled for six o clock that evening. There were several issues that happened before our guests arrived. Luckily, I was blissfully unaware because my wonderful wedding planner made sure that, despite the incompetence of Hodge Podge Lodge, my wedding day would turn out beautifully. I only became aware that something wasn’t right when I saw the food stations. The Shrimp Alfredo had been substituted by Chicken Alfredo. The Mac and Cheese looked and tasted nothing like the one I had tried at the tasting and in their restaurant. The green beans were barely cooked. Again, nothing like I had tried at the tasting. I did contact the owner a few days after the wedding. It was really a waste of time to contact him. He had an excuse for everything. He even blamed my wedding planner and myself for not having communicated enough with his staff. I had to point out to him that we had met several times in person or on the phone to go over each detail. He told me that they didn’t offer Shrimp Alfredo. Yet, not once did they reach out to me or my wedding planner to allow us the chance to make another selection! I would have been fine making a different choice. Worse still, I had printed menus for each setting that had the Shrimp Alfredo. Several people have actually asked me what happened to the shrimp. The owner didn’t see a problem because he didn’t charge me the original price. I asked that I’d be refunded for the dish that I never asked for or wanted. He refused and offered a gift certificate to stay at their BnB. Considering that they picked out a dish to serve without consulting me, the least they could do was refund fully or minimally the cost of the dish that I never wanted or asked for. It’s been over two months since I last heard from the owner. I’m still waiting for a reply after we turned down his gift certificate and asked for a refund on that one dish. Hodge Podge Lodge is a beautiful setting for a wedding. It has the potential to become one of the premier venues in this county. It’s unfortunate that the current staff is disorganized, ineffectual and unprofessional. Sadder still, the owner prefers to support such a staff rather than make their clients happy.
