| - The main issue is that they are too laid back. The staff waits until the last minute. If your wedding isn't two weeks away they will only converse via email. And it could take a month for them to respond to you.
I sent an email to the wedding coordinator a month and a half before my wedding date wanting to know why I haven't been able to meet with the photographer, florist, pastor, etc. I received no response. Less than two weeks before the wedding date I had to call the wedding coordinator. I was told my email must have went to their spam folder. We had been emailing for months without a problem. Even if that were true the coordinator should be the one calling me. HOW DO YOU NOT LOOK AT YOUR CALENDAR FOR UPCOMING WEDDINGS?!!!! So, this led to me having to meet with the pastor, DJ, florist, photographer and coordinator all at he same time. Which I'm sure is convenient for them, but was extremely stressful for me.
The florist messed up on the bridesmaid bouquets. I wanted my maid of honor to have pink and yellow roses. And then bridesmaid 1 to have all yellow, bridesmaid 2 all pink and bridesmaid 3 all yellow. What I got was two bouquets with mostly yellow roses and a few pink. Then, two bouquets with mostly pink roses and a few yellow. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is. It was meant to show how special the maid of honor is. (And the fact that the maid of honor was my sister.) I saw the florist scribble this down on her paper. So, either she ran out of flowers or was just too lazy to look back at her notes.
The good things about this venue are the price. You can bring in your own liquor. Which is amazing! I've never heard of any venue allowing that. I like the off the beaten path location and how it is actually a home. It can hold a lot of people. If the weather doesn't hold up they have an inside venue. The food was fantastic. It's a more unique option without the pretentious feel of all the other wedding venues I had seen. They include the pastor, DJ, food, photography & florist.
So, to sum up you get what you pay for. The wedding did turn out to be beautiful and all the guests loved it. But, the ladies bathroom does need to be a complete room and air conditioned. There is a back wall but it doesn't connect to the roof. You can hear people talking outside. With my wedding dress on, my mom, bridesmaids and flower girls in the room I felt like I was going to faint from the heat.
