The intimate size of the property worked perfectly for our smaller wedding and being able to add certain rental spaces helped us tailor the property to fit our needs. Shelly and all of the staff at the Garner House were all so incredibly kind and helpful through the process. They have great teamwork which really reflects in how smooth of a process this ended up being. In the chaos of wedding planning, this was one of the easier parts. We absolutely recommend picking the Garner House as a place to celebrate your forever!

PART 1 We rented…read morethe Manor Room for my daughter's wedding because we were on a budget, and their pricing seemed affordable. They also gave us the impression that they were willing to work with us financially. From the beginning, one of the biggest issues we experienced was that the information we were given repeatedly changed throughout the planning process. We made a point to ask questions and clarify details before making decisions because we wanted to avoid surprises. We relied on the information we were given, only to later be told something different. Ava was assigned as our point of contact. Unfortunately, we found ourselves repeatedly having to clarify details, only for the answers to change later. We chose to rent the venue without catering but hired their bartender service because Ava specifically told us that everything for the bar would be provided and that we only needed to bring the alcohol and mixed drinks. Based on that information, we booked their bartender. During our final consultation one month before the wedding, we were then told that we would actually need to provide virtually everything ourselves, including bar tools, supplies, garnishes, and possibly even ice because they weren't sure whether their ice machine would be working. Since this was completely different from what we had originally been told, we canceled their bartender and hired an outside bartending service that supplied everything we needed. This resulted in an unexpected additional expense. When I requested a credit for the bartender we were no longer using because the information had changed, I was told no because we had supposedly received "special pricing" to fit our budget. During that same consultation, we added the plates, goblets, and silverware package. Ava showed us samples of the linens, runners, and dinner napkins for us to choose from. Since they didn't have the runner color we wanted, we purchased our own runners and only used their tablecloth overlays. Later, when I followed up, I was told the dinner napkins were not actually included but that they would "throw them in" at no charge. This was confusing because we had already been asked to select the napkins during our consultation. Once again, the information we were given changed after decisions had already been made. We also requested an additional hour for setup, which cost another $60. Considering we received no credit for canceling the bartender we were no longer using because the information had changed, every additional charge became increasingly frustrating. On the day of the wedding, we arrived at 3:00 p.m. to begin unloading and decorating and immediately noticed the sweetheart table had already been set up even though it was visibly warped in the middle. Ava was unavailable that day, so I contacted James, whom I had originally communicated with. The staff replaced the table, but it was disappointing that it had been placed in the venue knowing it was damaged. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. We soon discovered water leaking from the men's restroom area and water coming up through the venue's laminate flooring. While setting up behind the buffet, we lifted a black floor mat and found numerous paper towels underneath that were completely soaked. We also noticed water seeping up through the middle of the dance floor. When we reported this to the office staff, we were told it "might have been from the ice machine the night before" and that they had only noticed it that day. This explanation raised several concerns. If there had been an event the previous evening, wouldn't the cleanup staff have noticed the leak? If they knew about it that morning, why wasn't it repaired before our event? Why were soaked paper towels already hidden underneath the mat if this had only just been discovered? Based on what we observed, it was difficult to believe this was a problem they had just become aware of. We expressed our concerns because the wet floor posed a serious slipping hazard for our guests. Rather than acknowledging those concerns or discussing a reasonable solution, we were told we had only two options approximately 30 minutes before our ceremony was scheduled to begin: Reschedule the wedding so they could fix the problem, or Allow them to place wet floor signs throughout the venue while staff continuously dried the floor. The office staff also repeatedly referenced the Force Majeure clause in the contract as though it relieved them of responsibility. However, their own contract states that Force Majeure applies to situations such as natural disasters, fires, government restrictions, labor disputes, civil unrest, or other events beyond their reasonable control.

Well, the clubhouse was nice enough and seemed clean in the areas I saw, but to me, the crowned jewel of every country club should be its golf course. This is where I was extremely disappointed. I cannot imagine being a member at this country club and having a golf course in this condition. I have seen municipal courses that don't require a tee time or greens fees in better shape! There were bare spots all over the "fairways," there was grass growing over the "sand traps," the "tee boxes" were uneven with sporadic grass. I honestly could not believe it. I am hopeful this course can be saved, because it actually could be nice. But it needs some serious love and maybe a Board that actually cares about their product. I bet membership would increase!

I have dreamed…read moreabout getting married here for over 10 years after my favorite high school English teacher told me she got married here. Dreams really do come true, and I had the vintage wedding of my dreams! Carrie, Sam, Jillian, and everyone at Christmas House are now like family to us. All of our guests absolutely loved our wedding and the house, and said what a unique and cool venue it is. A lot of them said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and are still talking about it a year later. I wanted something completely different and personal compared to a country club, golf club, or hotel since I have been to so many weddings. Since we were planning from out of state, we also liked that so many things were included such as cake, DJ, etc. I loved that we had the whole place to ourselves for the whole wedding weekend and got to do the pizza party and overnight stay, as well as breakfast which was some of my favorite food of the weekend! I particularly recommend the quiche! We had some of our bridal party stay with us and they loved it. It was nice to spend some personal time with them before we jetted off to our honeymoon. Also military wives and brides: they have a military discount! I also loved that the Christmas House team worked well with our wedding planner Nicole at Olivar events. Our photos and videos also came out so wonderfully. Orlando the photographer and videographer (sorry forgot his name) made me feel like a queen and really helped with their calm vibes since I was anxious before the ceremony. I even asked for more footage now a year later and they obliged. They are awesome! I had a lot of stress leading up to the wedding including my original dress being ruined one month before and family drama. The whole team were literal angels in helping me navigate all of this and I'm actually really glad I wore my second dress because it was a warm June wedding and my second dress was much lighter and went better with our vintage theme! I believe everything works out for a reason in according to God's plan. I have never felt so happy and so loved as on my wedding day by my husband, family and friends, and our friends at the Christmas House. I would truly give the Christmas House 4.8 stars and only change two things about the wedding: I will say the food was delicious, and our cake that was included from Cucamonga Cakery was pretty and delicious. However, the only negative feedback we had from guests was that the plates of food were a little small. This may be a Spaggi's (their exclusive caterer for our sit down package) issue, and I would recommend it be closer to the tasting size. For myself, I would have slowed down getting ready and taken some more amazing photos around the bridal suite, the house's stained glass windows, and stairs, and I may still go back and do it as Carrie suggested! However, I am giving myself some grace as the wedding morning was very busy. Thank you, Christmas House for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt, and for celebrating our love with us on our very special day. It was a dream come true, and we will be back to visit soon! Love, Ty and Dorothy
