Lack of Representation at our Venue

My husband and I started following our wedding venue on Instagram and Facebook months before we got married. Every day we loved to see the pictures they posted of couples who had just gotten married at their location. The day of our wedding we patiently waited to see what they were going to post from our wedding and to our surprise, they didn't post anything! When we reached out to them to ask them about it they said they were waiting for the edited photos from our photographer but would post our candy bar and signature drink in the meantime. We thought that was interesting because we could clearly tell that many of the pictures they had posted on their page were taken on a cell phone. Nonetheless, we said okay and sent them pictures from our wedding once our photographer made edits. It has been about a month and they haven't posted one picture of us during our wedding at their venue. We are beginning to feel that they do not want to represent black people on their page. What are your thoughts?

    Thank you for adding this perspective. There are more white people who get married there. However, according to the manager, at least a dozen POC get married there every year and were not being represented.
