I was concerned because the tables had to be carried up a flight of stairs but they did it! I was so grateful everything went smoothly the day of! My whole experience was pretty hassle-free.

The prices were decent but not worth it when we were let to figure it out in the most important day of our lives. Management advised they received a call about this from their team, meaning they were aware of the poor job their team did and left it anyway.

I typically do not leave reviews; however, after my experience with this company, I feel it is…read moreimportant to share my concerns so other couples can make an informed decision. I selected Citrus Historic Park as my wedding venue, and as part of that agreement, I was required to use Timeless Timelines as my wedding coordination company. Initially, the planning process began positively. I worked with Makenzie, who was excellent--she was responsive, thorough, and guided me through the planning process. I believed she would be my wedding coordinator. At my 60-day meeting, I was introduced to Maribel and informed that she would be my day-of coordinator. During our meeting, we reviewed my expectations, décor setup, and floor plans for both the ceremony and reception. Maribel took notes and entered information into her laptop, which gave me confidence that everything was organized. Unfortunately, on my wedding day, many critical details were not executed as discussed. Without consulting me, Maribel changed my approved floor plan. The bar was moved from outside to inside, which caused long lines that interfered with guests seated for dinner. As a result, my younger sister had to sit separately from our family. Additionally, the appetizer table was never set up, despite being something Maribel had assured me she would handle. My unity table for the ceremony was also not set up. Instead, the box that my items were shipped in was placed on the table. This was extremely disappointing, as this table was meant to be a meaningful part of the ceremony. One of the primary reasons I chose this venue was the ability to make my grand entrance through the double glass doors. Because the bar was relocated indoors, this was no longer possible. Instead, I was redirected to enter from the side of the building, which required walking through water and mud. I also had no flowers at my ceremony. During planning, I explained that my reception centerpieces would be used to line the ceremony aisle and later moved inside. I specifically asked whether I needed to assign a family member to handle this, and Maribel assured me she would take care of it. This did not happen. Additionally, my ceremony music was incorrect because Maribel provided the DJ with the wrong song for the bridal party entrance. Guest tables were not set up correctly. The gold placemats that were supposed to be placed at each setting were forgotten. My aunt noticed this and placed them out shortly before guests arrived. When I later explained this issue to the owner, I was told it was acceptable because the placemats were eventually put out before guests entered, which does not change the fact that the setup was not completed as contracted. The bartenders hired through the venue were also unprofessional. When the credit card system stopped working, they refused to manually process payments and turned guests away, even though there was a required minimum alcohol sales amount for which we would be financially responsible. My husband and I paid an additional $1,000 to extend our reception by one hour, expecting the event to conclude at 12:00 a.m. with cleanup until 1:00 a.m. Despite this, centerpieces began being removed at approximately 10:30 p.m., and Maribel left the venue shortly after I did at 12:10 a.m., while guests were still present. This resulted in a complete loss of the extra hour we paid for. I contacted the owner to discuss these issues. Due to the holidays, we connected in early January, and I was told I would receive a follow-up. As of the second week of February, I have received no response. I paid for services that were not delivered and for commitments that were not honored. At this point, I am exploring legal options regarding breach of contract. My intention in sharing this experience is to caution future couples. Planning a wedding is stressful, and couples should be able to trust their coordination team. Unfortunately, I did not receive the level of service promised. While I cannot redo my wedding day, I hope this review helps others protect theirs.

Priscilla, the event coordinator was so helpful and worked with us in so many ways to customize our event. Unfortunately, we had to cancel and then rebook and she could not have been more accommodating and understanding of our situation.

I would recommend this company's excellent service, and this venue to anyone who would like to create a memorable event.

Their…read moresetup is cheap, everything is plastic and disposable, I brought my own stuff, from centerpieces, silverware and other decorations. They also failed to tell me that they don't provide a linen for the candy table and failed to offer one, I'm sure they had an extra one in the back somewhere, but nope they said customer provides that. They promote coupons on their socials but everything is an upgrade so be careful. Their options are very outdated and have no color to it. Staff could be unprofessional, although they helped me setup and take down they were upset about it. The bar limited my guests to one drink (for alcohol I provided) and would tell my guests "you can't be coming back so fast", they didn't understand the concept of husbands getting their wife's drinks and coming back to get their own a short period later. Edith was in my face every five minutes telling me I couldn't do certain things, for things I had already asked permission for. For example, my daughter, my husband and I were having a moment and she barged to the dance floor to tell me I couldn't be lighting up candles, when I told her I had gotten it approved she was like "oh yeah she just told me though text". Trust me when I tell you that there were many of these instances throughout the night, I didn't even bring or do anything I wasn't supposed to, everything was preapproved. Also, food tasting I had to pick up the food, you do not food taste at the venue, I had to text whoever it was that was my poc when we would be tasting the food, and she pretty much only told me she had one day available, when I insisted that my event was a couple weeks away she then said "that's all I have available". If I wouldn't have reached out to her they wouldn't reach out at all. This venue also didn't have projector for you to play anything. At about 11:10pm of the night Edith started pressuring that my guests had to be out of the hall by midnight, or I wouldn't get my deposit back, and that meant they all had to be out the door and pretty much off the property. Despite bringing my own stuff and not using any of their things they still try to get every penny out of you and drain your energy throughout the whole party, my guests complained and even noticed that Edith was in my face all night. If there's one thing I can say is do better, the least you want to do is add stress to a stressful day and this girl was definitely good at it.
