I am not sure where to begin with this venue. Here is a try ...
1. The coordinator called me Hilter instead of my actual name, mind you at this point we had hardly even spoken to one another and the conversation was quite pleasant before we walked to the ceremony site. Non the less this is insanely insulting. To compare someone to a man who murdered so many people in such a horrific manner is just not acceptable. If I had actually been Jewish this would have been a much bigger issue in the moment. I know I didn't hear wrong because at least 6 people all turned looked at me with jaws dropped and said did she really just call you that.
2. They could not get anything right, from decorations, to which side the ladies and men stood on to walk down the aisle, to very basic things about a wedding. Thank god a few of the bridal party had been married before and were catching mistakes of theirs.
3. The bride and groom paid for the venue to decorate for the wedding. We dropped off everything the day of the rehearsal and it was all clearly labeled and organized. This would have given them time to look at the items they were given, ask us questions, and plan ahead for the next day. We are fairly certain that no one showed up in a proper amount of time to decorate the venue. "They had to call in more hands to help them last min." This doesn't include the fact 3 members of the bridal party had to help set things up. Along with most of the bride and grooms family and spouses of the bridal party. They were vastly under staffed for what they promised and honestly had no clue what they were doing. They were provided with reference photos, drawings, etc yet nothing looked the way it needed it too. The bride paid for thousands of dollars of flowers that instead of being put out were shoved under the catering table and left there. They didn't setup most the items she wanted and spent thousands to have at her wedding. The few flowers they did make into arrangements weren't even cut to the same length. They shoved random flowers into vases on each table, all varying heights and looked horrible!
4. A man showed up to work the wedding in sweat pants, no underwear, and a hole in the butt of the sweat pants. Lovely thing to see as he is bending over.
5. Before the wedding was booked the bride was assured multiple times that the bridal suites would be open for the bridal parties to be able to slip away too. Where it was to have a moment to themselves, keep items safe, cool off, ect. Those rooms were ours to have for the day. This was the case until after the ceremony....We were never told that we would be locked out of the rooms and monitored like prisoners. We were told the small room with the cubbies would be locked up for safety but not the entire suite. They have locks that have a combination you can punch in. These are simple to change, add multiple codes too, ect. This is simple to give the bridal party the codes to access their items. But in reality we had to try and find someone which on average took about 10-15 mins. Then they had to meet you at the room, if they weren't doing something else or watching the grooms room. Then while you were in the room they stood and watched you as if you were going to steal things from the room. Including while you change. Our men had to change in front of the woman watching them because she wouldn't leave the room. This is beyond unacceptable. The bride had to have her hair held back while she threw up outside because she had to wait over 30 mins for someone to let her into the room to take off her dress. She was over heated and having a panic attack but no one seemed to care about the bride at all that day. Or the groom... I know both sides of the party asked multiple times to have our rooms left unlocked because it was too hard to find someone to let us in, we didn't want to be prison watched, and we had to argue more then once of why we needed into our rooms for our items in our bags. One of the groomsman had to throw up for 30 mins before he could get into the room to get his heart burns meds, the groom couldn't get this medications, and I have serious food and bee allergies and couldn't get access to my epipen. They responded with they fact they have one on site but I do not trust they could have gotten it in time before I would have died. I have a matter of mins before my airway is closed, if we can't find you to get in we sure as heck couldn't find you if I was dying. This also meant most of us didn't get any photos with our phones because you couldn't get them. They only had one person letting us into the rooms also, so if the ladies need in then the guys had to wait and vis versa. read more
