Dant Crossing gave away my daughter's promised wedding date with no notice. We were continuing to discuss contract items (food, alcohol, guest count, etc.) and I had given Dant my credit card to put a deposit down two months prior. I learned they never hit my credit card as they were waiting on a signed, final contract (please understand we were supposed to be the 2ndwedding in this unbuilt venue so there were still many questions and items to consider). We had already tied other vendors to Dant. We were devastated when Dant Crossing gave away the promised wedding date, and we felt Dant lacked professional integrity. Dant did reach out to who they gave our date away to, just to see if they could get the date back, which was a gesture in the right direction; however, at that point our confidence in Dant was lost. As we quickly looked for another venue, I asked these organizations if they promised a date to a family (without a signed contract) would they give it away. The reoccurring answer was no; it is always a professional courtesy in the wedding business to contact the promised potential client first, tell them someone else is interested, and then they usually give them 24 hours to submit a final contract if the first party still wants to secure the date. Dant also told me that we asked, "so many questions." Outside of college, a mortgage, or a new car - a wedding is one of the most expensive purchases someone can make. If you are like us, you do your research, ask questions to ensure you understand costs, and look for ways to save money. read more
