So - my story as a father is as follows... I went with my son to help him with his wedding…read morereception on Nov 2, 2013. Little did I known that later that day I would be a victim in an armed robbery when I took my 71 year old father-in-law to get a carton of cigarettes at the Stop N Shop off 291 & 24 highways. We walked out of the store and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that my father-in-law had been grabbed and was being held at gunpoint, being accosted and robbed... I turned to help, but was shot. Life changes. I paid in full that day to reserve the Cotillion Hall for Dec 14, 2013. Due to the extenuating circumstances, I contacted the Cotillion owners on November 18 to notify them of our desire to cancel the venue as my son and his fiancé had decided to wait regarding definite plans until we have recovered. The owner responded that she was 'sorry about my luck but we won't refund your money because we don't have it - because we had bills to pay.' What's this world coming to? A young couple wants to celebrate their marriage with their family present for the event. If this business - a business set up to provide a venue for life events - is so hard up that they cannot even afford to show compassion, they should get out - and certainly not burden families/clients with stories of their financial problems. It looks as though I'm not the only one that feels this way.

They are not very professional during the process of scheduling an event. Over & over the whole…read morestaff would tell me "this is their busiest time" like I can change a birthday!! I could over look that except they do not keep the date you have decided upon. They do not take credit card which I was prepared to use, so being from out of town (1.5hr away 1way), I put the check in the mailbox within 3hours of making the reservation. Then I get a call 3 days later stating they had given my reservation to someone else who was there in person earlier than my check arrived (my check arrived the same day they scheduled someone else but the mail had not come yet). I will NEVER call this place again as it was very stressful since I had notified other out of town family of the date & time. Most of my family lives near this place that's why I chose to utilize it but I will never again waste my time on them.

The venue owner was pleasant, personable, professional, and very creative!! Loved what she was able to do for the brand and did exactly what was asked for and more.

I worked with Erika and Veronica at Eco-Posh on my wedding earlier this month. They did the…read morefloral/centerpiece design and day-of coordination. From my first meeting with Erika I knew I had found the right person to work with because she completely understood the sort of look I wanted. The flowers were stunning (and eco-friendly/local!), and the day-of coordination was by far the best investment I could have made for the wedding. This goes without saying, but weddings are a LOT of work and can be extremely stressful at times. When it came down to the day of the wedding, I wasn't stressed, Erika and Veronica made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be, and it went off without a hitch. Extremely professional, friendly, and creative. Couldn't ask for more.

Worst event planning services ever! There is nothing Eco-Friendly or Green about her event planning…read moreservices - Decor that was potentially selected for my event was not green, but polyester and plastic. I had to drive 40 miles out of my way for her pastry chef for the wedding cake, which did not pass along any savings. Consistently lied about following up with venue when I have confirmed information that she did not speak to the venue as promised. I missed several key appointments that a full-service planner is to remind the paying CLIENT on and then turned around and blamed the CLIENT for her lack of organization. It is a good thing I TERMINATED her contract. My wedding turned out beautifully, no thanks to her.
