You need to know a few things before considering this venue. We were told one price at contract…read moresigning, then when it came time for the final payment I noticed that it seemed high. They had raised their prices and also charged me for things that were not supposed to be there. It was a LOT of money. They made me send them a copy of the pamphlet that they gave us during our first meeting to prove the price difference! This is so unprofessional. Also, coordinators were young and must have been trained to say, "of course" and "absolutely". That's fine, but after a while, I just want things done as we discussed. Ours (Harper) left the company a few weeks before the wedding, and when I requested a face to face meeting with the new one that we had never met, she said that they normally don't do that, but she would. Um yes. And even though we went through details with her(Mia), there were things that were missed. We specifically asked for no champagne toast, yet flutes were on the tables and they started pouring at 2 tables before I caught them. There were other things, like a non working fridge in the get ready bridal area (so warm drinks), food that was already out when we arrived with flies landing on it, the wrong cross rented from Serendipity, when we specifically asked for the thicker/more substantial one, plastic black hangers left on two of our floral arrangements lining the ceremony aisle (Fiori Florals) and a cake that was NOTHING like we selected. It was on a black stand when we selected gold, we paid $60 extra for pearls and there were maybe 12 on the whole cake, the gold icing was yellow/brown, and it tasted and looked nothing like what we originally ate and chose. To top it off, it was dry and crumbly. We ended up giving it to our hotel staff. Mia did not seem prepared to run a wedding. She sent the MOB down the aisle with an usher walking back, so they had to move to the side. There were good things about the venue, but just be prepared for many things to go wrong. I had every checklist in the world, and it still wasn't enough.

The professionalism and attitude of the venue manager was very horrid. My cousin just had his…read morewedding there a few days ago and I have never felt more disrespected by this venue's manager/planner/owner, whomever she is! When my father and I arrived a half-hour early, we found the door locked as it started to pour rain and thunder and lightning. The rest of the family was already inside setting up and getting ready. This so-called venue manager or whomever was in charge finally saw us standing outside and opened the door and rudely asked with an attitude, "Are you family?" What kind of a question, IS THAT? Also, why in the hell would you lock the outer doors of a wedding venue that is currently occupied? That is a fire hazard! Also, if you have posted business hours, you are not allowed to lock the doors, regardless of whether its by appointment only or not. I was half expecting her to be a gracious hostess and say, "Hello, welcome, are you here for the wedding? Please come in." INSTEAD, before I can respond, she continues to say, "We don't let guests in before the start time, only family." Of course I reply politely as I can that we are family. My father and I were the only two members of my aunt's side of the family attending this wedding. Everyone else that was attending was the bride's family members who came all the way from India, Canada and other parts of the world, and my Uncle's family members who were all local plus family friends. They only had 9 tables and not everyone even came. I'm actually very glad that my mother, who is wheelchair-bound, could not attend because this building is not ADA compliant by law. She wouldn't have been able to use the bathroom or enjoy the patios without someone helping her up and down. When we got inside and greeted our family, I could clearly see that this wedding was not going to be starting right at 5:30. (I even had offered when we arrived to help put out the name cards for the tables on the guestbook table for them so they could focus on the food and the bar, and I was immediately dismissed with the rudest attitude from this manager.) They claimed it was because of the rain and that they were going to have the blessing outside and were trying to wait for it to pass, but by 5:30, they hadn't even bothered to open up the bar or put out hor d'oeuvres. They didn't even have coffee made, and we couldn't even get a soda, they just had water and tea ready. It wasn't until 6 or so that my cousin finally walked over to the bar, told the bartender he was the groom and wanted the bar opened because people were stuck standing around the staff scrambled to finish setting things up they should have been brought out at 5:25 PM. My cousin told me that because they didn't open the bar on time, they didn't use their money's worth of alcohol. People were coming to this blessing/reception for an already married couple, expecting some sort of food for them to much on right away, and it wasn't served until nearly 7 PM. it was nearly 8 PM by the time I got my food. The salmon was so dry and overcooked and was cold because of their delay. The staff was also rushing around trying to move things along once it got going. They brought out COLD PIZZA at 10 PM that should have been brought out way earlier. They didn't cut the cake until after everyone was done eating. It should have been cut up while everyone was being served their plated dinners. As someone who has worked in the customer/food service/retail/restaurant industries for the last 20+ years, I WOULD NEVER EVER run my own business like this, treat my clients' guests horribly. I always LOVE it when I work and it's clear I'm struggling and my customers or regulars immediately ask to help. I have never seen so much disorganization from a venue since my own wedding at a completely different venue in another county in Ohio five and a half years ago. Don't use this venue, clearly others have had the same issue with the professionalism and speediness of this staff.

I'm pretttttttty obsessed with MStyle. Molly & Michelle are a dream team when it comes to day-of…read moreevent planning. Straight from their website: "MStyle is your best friend while your best friends are busy watching you get married to the love of your life. We aim to manage the stress of décor, venue set up, vendor coordination, and logistics so you can focus on what really matters." All that is true -- and so much more. I recently threw a 400-person fake wedding, and MStyle was my hero. I throw events all the time, so I originally thought, "Why in the world would I need a day-of planner?" But listen... there's just something so fantastic about being able to trust someone with your big day. I'm talking -- close your eyes, drop backward and know someone will catch you -- kind of trust. I mostly worked with Michelle for my wedding, and she and I were always on the same page. I love those people who catch on fast and can follow along with my crazy vision -- without having to repeat myself a bunch or slow down to explain every little detail. She would get excited right along with me, and she thought of all the pitfalls ahead of the event. On the day of the wedding, Michelle and I went through everything together, and then she ran with the plans. She literally handled everything and everyone. It was such a relief to actually be able to enjoy my own event! And double high fives to Molly for letting me throw a runway show at her at the last minute -- she knocked it out of the park. Seriously, nothing throws these ladies for a loop. They handle everything with grace. MStyle also has some decor rentals you can use for events. They have impeccable taste, so trust that whatever they bring -- it'll be beautiful. I 100% recommend Michelle and Molly to help with any event -- small or big, real or fake. In fact, I know I'll be hiring them to help me whenever I decide to throw my own real wedding!

She was professional, adorable, so optimistic, timely, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process! Her photos are extremely unique (they look like they're straight out of a wedding magazine) and we have received many many comments about how wonderful her shots were. She was heavily involved in the wedding planning process beyond just photography including timelines, advice, and encouragement (which I think is the most important in the wedding planning process). Her standards for herself and for everyone around her are well above every other photographer we encountered and it shows in her work. On the wedding day, she was engaged, organized, and led our entire team of vendors including our wedding coordinator throughout the day's events even though we did not expect her to do so. She even edited some of our portraits form the wedding day and had them displayed during the reception!!! People were OBSESSED! With that being said, we received both our engagement and initial wedding photos with an unbelievably fast turnaround time and this is something we really value! We are so incredibly grateful for everything she did to make our wedding experience so PERFECT and will highly recommend her to everyone!!!

In a heartbeat, if I could go back and hire a wedding planner, I would have hired Nora! Since my…read morewedding, i have had the pleasure of working with her as a fellow vendor on several occasions. On our first meeting she was running around troubleshooting everything from a cookie display (this was SO important to the family), to making sure everything stayed on time, directing each person who came to the venue to the correct places...she is a well-oiled machine on the day of the wedding. More recently, I have been able to see her process when I saw her offices and met some of her clients on-site. She has excellent relationships and truly cares about each of her brides or clients, is always quick to communicate via email or phone call and has built up a rapport with so many wonderful vendors to partner with her clients. Brides are lucky to have her and she is so humble and down to earth, she listens and provides what her clients want. Also-she keeps a lot of items on hand to help the visual impact of the weddings and events so that the clients won't have to buy them just to use for one day. VERY cost effective. Again, cannot recommend highly enough!

The photos truly capture the love, joy, and fun of the day! It rained nonstop all day, but they were very professional and kept everyone having fun despite the circumstances...and the photo results speak for themselves! An added bonus is that David and Katie are so much fun and pleasant to be around. Couldn't have picked two better people to follow me around nonstop all day! :) Engagement Session: David shot our engagement photos the other day. It was cold for April, but he had a great sense of humor and made the whole thing a really fun experience. Not only was it fun, but he also really knew what was doing. He instructed us how to pose, but in a way that captured our natural chemistry and goofiness as a couple. The natural light he used for almost all of our photos made them look magical. The quality of the photos is excellent and we had a great time taking them - can you ask for anything else? Oh, and he showed up early and has so far been very reliable! I am so excited for our wedding and so glad we went with David as our photographer!
