I can't fully express how grateful and happy I am that we got to meet Chris Torres today. We came…read morein with family and friends just to enjoy some drinks, and he took care of us in a way no one ever has before. His hospitality, kindness, and attention to every detail made our experience truly unforgettable. We're so thankful for the amazing service, and honestly, we would come back again because of him. Thank you, Chris, for giving us some of the best hospitality in the world -- you truly made our day special.

Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations when visiting this venue for the first time…read morethis evening. They were starting a karaoke night and I figured since I enjoy performing that this would give me an opportunity to check out the venue for possible future event visits. The event was scheduled from 8pm to 12pm or later. We arrived 10 min. early in case there was already a crowd. GM Chris came to the door and asked us what time it was(?), that should have sent a red flag as he was the point person for running this event. We spent 10 min speaking with the Pink Piano owner next door and had a great conversation. At 8pm we went in and there was 1 individual sitting at the bar and the bartender. I ordered a scotch and a neutral for my disabled spouse. At 8:46pm with just 4 people (included) waiting for the karaoke, I went to the bar to close out my tab. The total for my drink and spouse came out to $19 and I left a $5 tip for the bartender who spent the entire time talking to the young man sitting at the bar. These are very difficult financial times for many people and to charge this type of prices for drinks, especially in Lakeland, Fl is absurd. As a very well organized individual who has managed many venues in his past along with being a professional performer, this was a complete disappointment from an operational point of view. If you are going to advertise a venue with a start time, at least either start on time or apologize to patrons who made provisions to attend the venue for events. My time is just as important as those running this establishment. Making arrangements to bring out a disabled spouse and having to wait almost an hour is totally unacceptable. If this is the type of operational standards then I along with my spuse will patron those establishments who have a deep appreciation for return customers and their financial contribution to the running of the business. I will leave it with this, if people choose to allow business's to simply run it without any regard for the paying customer, then you deserve what you get.

Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing in several ways. While we were in the room, there was painting being done nearby, and the fumes were extremely strong. When we called the front desk, we were initially told no painting was occurring, only to later return and find wet paint signs posted. We also had maintenance issues in the room, including a toilet paper holder that was not attached to the wall and a shower that took over 20 minutes to even get warm. We understand this is a historic building, but we did not experience these kinds of issues during prior stays. Additionally, the dining room appeared to have only one server working. She was absolutely wonderful and did her best, but it was clear she was stretched too thin to provide attentive service to all guests. Overall, we still appreciate the character and location of the hotel, but this stay fell short of the experience we were expecting based on our past visits.

Haus 820 was amazing to work with. When we first contracted with them they did not offer an…read moreall-inclusive package, however, they do now. We were able to use whatever vendors we wanted as long as they were licensed and insured. The space is large and we divided the main space into two separate rooms using pipe and draping to keep the ceremony area separate from the dining area. They have a nice bar area and prep kitchen making it a lot easier for caterers. They have a courtyard also that can serve as the ceremony area if preferred. We used that area for our cocktail hour. They were responsive, articulate, and able to answer whatever question we threw at them. Additionally, they have a bride and groom suite, making it super easy to get dressed at the venue. We highly recommend this venue as they could accommodate everything we needed for our daughter's wedding.

Excellent wedding venue! The interior is very well done with shades for the windows, as needed (our…read morefriends had all but one shade down, giving enough natural light for the photographers). After the ceremony on one side, we adjourned to the fenced courtyard for a coffee break and appetizers while the wedding party took photos inside. The courtyard has string lights and plenty of space for the ~125 guests to mingle. Once we returned inside, the ceremony space became the dance floor and we enjoyed a buffet-style dinner at the tables. There's so much space inside that there are so many options for your event. Mostly plain brick walls so the event will be what you make it to be!

I rented this place for my daughter Sweet 16. When we got there to decorate, the manager was…read moreoutside fixing his car. The place was dirty. We had to mop and sweep before starting. Also they gave us the wrong table covers and he was nasty to us when he had to get the right ones. After there for a while decorate. The manager walks in with 2 families to look at the place. We have all our personal stuff and our party decorations everywhere. He has people just walking around withouto him planning their party touching our stuff. And commenting on how we were doing it. It made all of us feel uncomfortable. Very unprofessional. My family was very unhappy since they were taking pictures of all of us also. Which is an invasion of our privacy. We rented the place. It was our time there. I wouldn't have minded if he was there, he is the renting manager. That night it rained, the roof leaked and almost damaged all our food. We talked to him about all this the Monday after party. He said, I'm working on fixing it. But, how about our party. He also said a racial remark. Your kind of people. Because we feel like we were not treated fairly. Which was uncalled for. We just wanted to be treated fairly. My husband told him, " you only meet my wife. She is Puerto Rican, but I'm white, just like you. So I don't know what kind of people you are talking about"., Now, after the party. He is refusing to give me back the deposit that is owed to me. We made it work for our daughter. But, we do not recommend this place. We don't even want our deposit back anymore. We just don't want anyone to be treated that way. He was so nice until he got our money. Then you are on your own. We rented this place last year. It was paid by February this year. I gave them a zero.

I had been inquiring about this location and had gotten information from a gentleman which I…read morebelieve his name was Mark and I had additional question so I called today to get those questions answered. When I called a lady had answered the phone and started quoting me different prices ,when I had question that prices that I was previously quoted and that was advertised on their brochure and website were different from what she was quoting me was not the prices as stated on both their business website and brochure. I did asked if the prices had recently changed she never answered that question. She only stated that it seems like I would be happy elsewhere. Unaware that she had hung up the phone, I was apologizing to her about me asking if prices had recently changed until I realized it was silent on the other end. I called back 2 more times from my phone number and my daughters phone and she sent straight to voicemail. I have never been retreated in such an unprofessional manner that it completely has made me change my mind about having my wedding here. All of this because I question if their prices had recently changed. If you're going to advertise prices on your business, brochure and have rental managers quote one price then you should honor that price. If it had recently change then say I apologize we need to up date our advertising and stated that as well.
