Jenny was very responsive to phone calls, emails and even texts. She seemed so happy that we booked with her and really was doing everything possible to make this wedding happen. Then things took a turn for the worst. She had a \"family emergency\" (seems to be a trend from down below in the previous comments) and went M.I.A. for a while because of it. Didn't have time to return any form of communication we were trying to have with her. Finally, when she decided she was able to come back to work, she got back to us. From then on, she was very up and down with her emotions. We didn't know if we were going to get good Jenny or bad Jenny. We literally were walking on egg shells with her. We were afraid to make her mad, or say something to set her off. It was very uncomfortable. She was horrible at getting back to my wedding planner. We were literally struggling to have ANY form of communication. She would just get back to us whenever she felt it convenient. With 14 day before my wedding (November 1st), she literally stopped talking to us. We had to make final decisions with parking and she chose to not get back to us. Finally, 9 days before my wedding, she wrote my wedding planner an email stating that \"we either give Jenny full control of the wedding- even down to the decorations, or we could get our money back and find another venue\". I was literally in shock! Who does that to a bride 9 days before the wedding? That same day, my mother and wedding planner showed up at Whispering Tree Ranch and asked Jenny for a full refund, like she said we would get in the email. She was shocked that we were getting the refund, but did follow through with her word and gave us all of our money back. I really believe she used that as a threat, not thinking we would actually choose finding another venue in 9 days. Even though we were getting our money back and were done with The Whispering Tree Ranch and especially Jenny, she was so persistent and NEEDED to know where we were having the wedding. We never told her, since it was none of her business, but she sure did try to find out all the details of what we were doing now that we had chose the refund out of the 2 options she gave us. All in all, Whispering Tree Ranch seemed like the perfect package. It really IS the perfect package if you take Jenny out of the equation. We did nothing but struggle to communicate and have what was written and signed in our wedding contract with Whispering Tree Ranch held to what it was supposed to be. Jenny is a control freak and definitely doesn't like when she can't have her way, or if there is any form of a wedding planner involved. Never in my wildest nightmares would I have imagined planning a completely different wedding 9 days before my wedding date. If you want Jenny to do everything for you, then this is your venue. But if you have plans of your own, please do not waste your time and energy here. All it will bring you is sleepless nights due to anxiety caused by Jenny."^^ . "8"^^ . "1"^^ . . .
