Now that everything is over and all is done I wanted to brief the issue with the venue in Elberta, AL. I was quoted $2,500 for the day when I toured for tables, chairs, linens, and setup. (two people can verify this who went with me) They asked me to help them with their marketing as they are not tech-savvy and I spent hours trying to teach them fb, boosting, ads, and more. They agreed to pay me weekly and put it to my venue cost. I went to their location weekly,(1-hour drive), made all of their marketing materials, and contracted and set up all vendors for their Grand Opening. Paid out money for décor setup, Handled their Facebook, messaging, bio, helped with their contract and why each rule should be in place and why. We did multiple cross-vendor posts to my company Over The Bay Event Planning & Rentals and tons of local businesses including DJs, videographers, photographers, makeup artists, spray tan companies, live artists, harpists, design companies, painting companies, and more. They said my company "springboarded" off of them. They had no reviews, followers, or likes before I took over their page and I have the screenshot stats to prove it. When in this industry business to business is everything. They did not get bookings after the Grand opening and there where upset no one reached out to them and only me. (Prob because they were nowhere to be found at the beginning so I walked people around) They did not like this as they felt as if other companies were benefiting from their location and they don't want preferred vendors. They took me off of all socials and broke ties with me after this event. This would have been a problem if they would have honored paying me and put it towards my wedding day for the event I worked for. They decided $2500 was the fee I would pay which was agreed upon before the marketing took place. I had my wedding planner reach out. I told them due to the issues she would be their contact. They told her over and over to ask Kayla, Kayla should know, ask her. She sent them a list of the tables and chairs required for the event. They didn't write her back and came straight to me. Asked me why I needed them, and such. I sent them a layout of the design and they responded in all caps how it wasn't going to fit and got extremely rude. I explained it in detail. They still would NOT communicate with my planner only me. They asked me to have Jr come and get the contract (2nd day in a row) They continue to be negative towards me and rude. Junior Jones shows up his wife walks out is rude and stated its not done and that was it. Not even 2 mins before Jr arrives they call the planner to tell her nvm. Jr was already at their location. I wrote them and asked them why they wasted our time as they know we don't live close. It escalated from there. They said I was rude and disrespectful. I told them I was being professional and asked them to go to my planner and they wouldn't so we wouldn't have miscommunication. They told the planner I was rude, mean, and so on and so forth. They stated we were being malicious by making them put up the tables and chairs as we don't need that many and I should know they don't have the manpower. We offered to do it ourselves on Friday they stated we couldn't have access till Saturday morning. At that point, we told them they need to have them up since that is what is included in the price. They told her they would be "around" for my wedding. After continuing to talk down to me and refusing to put up tables and chairs I instructed them to write me a check for the work I did and we would be done. Perfect was the response. An hour later the wife writes me a rude message. We are looking for a new venue but just wanted to update everyone. They had multiple bad reviews left and they blocked all of us and took the review option down. Just know who you are dealing with. We do have screenshots for proof. read more
