| - This is the absolute worst place to get married. We did our ceremony only at Mesa Arts Center up on the Joanie Flatt Terrace, as it was offered as an alternative space through our venue. We met the coordinators Friday evening (the night before the wedding) to do a walk through and a rehearsal, they were polite and showed us where we would be and overall were nice. Saturday was a completely different story. On Saturday, the same women we had spoken to less than 24 hours before, denied ever meeting us. We were told by both Mesa Arts Center and 12 West Main that the terrace would be ours, and all surrounding classes would be cancelled or moved for the hour we were up there; which was a total lie. Not only were there dance classes in the room we needed, a glass blowing class so kindly used power tools during the ceremony and a repairman was very loudly working on the elevator leading up to the terrace. Plus, to make it even better, another wedding was going on and was blasting music so loud the officiant had to basically yell into her microphone. The coordinators from the arts center maintained that they had not showed us any of the rooms and that none of the classes were to be cancelled. They were so unprofessional and rude, you would think they were doing us a favor and just allowing us to be up there, and that we didn't pay four figures to rent the space. I've never been so disrespected, and it was almost unbelievable that they were doing that to us on our wedding day. We booked them because we have always loved the arts center, but after that we will not be returning customers of any kind.
