Review of Roswell Historic Hall: A Bride's Nightmare…read more I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the service provided by Roswell Historic Hall during our wedding reception on April 27, 2024. Our experience was far below the expectations set during our initial meetings, leading to numerous issues that marred what should have been a joyous occasion. Shuttle Service: The shuttle service was a disaster. Despite scheduling pick-up times, the shuttle was over an hour late. Elderly guests, some requiring walkers and canes, were left standing for long periods. Many guests ended up walking to the venue, crossing Alpharetta Highway, which was unsafe and unacceptable. Additionally, several groups of guests waited over an hour for the shuttle to leave after the event, with the driver nowhere to be found. My father and other guests had to personally search for the driver behind the bar multiple times. Police Officer & Staff: Despite paying $500 for a police officer, no officer was present. This was a clear breach of our contract, and I demand an immediate refund. Initially, there was no bartender at the cocktail service, leaving guests to serve themselves. My friend had to ask for help with the margarita machine, only to be told to calm down when she needed assistance. The waitstaff were largely absent, choosing to hang out in the kitchen and tent area instead of serving guests. Food and Beverage: The quality and quantity of the food were extremely disappointing. The charcuterie display was tacky and insufficient for our 160 guests. Many guests, including my daughter, went hungry. The cocktail hour spread fell far short of what was promised. I had to ask for more food to be put out, which should not have been necessary. The champagne toast was another fiasco; I had to text you to start opening the champagne despite our prior discussion. Decorations and Cakes: The cookie table was not placed as agreed and was nearly empty when I checked it. I had to restock it myself, which is unacceptable. The cakes were displayed without any decorations, and the cake topper was not placed until I did it myself. The cake was not distributed to guests, resulting in a $700 loss as many guests did not receive any, and we had no leftovers to freeze for our anniversary. Organization: Throughout the evening, I had to make numerous phone calls and texts to address issues that should have been managed by your team. My husband and I repeatedly had to go behind the bar and kitchen to locate servers and items, causing unnecessary stress and disrupting the flow of the evening. You even approached me several times to ask if you could leave, despite knowing the event was not going well. Overall Experience: In summary, the level of service provided during our wedding was unacceptable. It tarnished what should have been a beautiful day and caused unnecessary stress and disappointment for us and our guests. The numerous failures in meeting the agreed-upon expectations have led me to demand a 30% refund of the total amount paid, which is $5,310. I expect a prompt response and resolution to this matter. I strongly urge you to address these issues to prevent similar experiences for future clients. This was supposed to be one of the most memorable days of our lives, and the service provided by Roswell Historic Hall was a complete failure. Message me if you'd like to discuss my experience.

I chose to park at the end right underneath the space, which was easy to do, and take the stairs up. Once I got all my stuff up, there were plenty of outlets near me and as far as I could tell in the entire space. The overall decor and vibe was new and modern and had many seating options. There were plush chairs, bar height tables and chairs and regular dining room style tables. I set up in the middle facing the outdoor deck, which was spacious and well decorated. There is a full kitchen and the bathrooms are for multiple people at the same time, not a singular one where you lock the door. This is a great space for your event!

As I drove…read moreup, the parking lot seemed super small, however, the staff had a design plan that was perfect and ensured everyone had a place to park. The upstairs is a super open floor plan with rooms off to the side. This was ideal as the Bride and Groom had their personal areas which were hugeeeeeee. As they were getting ready the open area was equipped with a portable bar and multiple hi-top tables. Omg! It was so cute. We were able to mingle and take pictures as we awaited the specified time to move to the downstairs area. Once downstairs, the room is hugeeeeeeee. It was perfectly decorated and afforded a sense of style, elegance and amazing ambiance. Once the guests were seated, the bride and groom began to walk down the stairs. When I tell you this room was MADE for such an entrance as this, it was spot on. There is a bar to the front and the main area is a blank canvas which allows you to set it up how you would like. Brea had it sit with a sit down eating space and a dance floor towards the back area. Based on my experience at Venue 92, it has been added to my venue list as the options of use for this space seem endless.

Joi is very to the point and passionate about what she does. I will admit I was nervous because I don't have a strong personality and her's is very strong but I am SO happy we choose to go with this location and Tamzen + Joi. First of all the location was perfect and the grounds are amazing. Through the entire experience, everything was taken care of most importantly the day of... About a week before the wedding a cold front was supposed to come in on our day and we had not prepped for this. Joi called me directly and came up with a plan to use some extra tents along with the walls to them. The day was PERFECT. Everything ran smoothly and the "moments" she creates for you are things you can't comprehend because you are so busy with everything else! The vendors they partner with and the ability to have everything in one spot was really great as well. I can't say anything bad about our day. Our friends still rave about it and I will never forget it!

I totally can understand where…read morethey are coming from, as I met the person they keep calling out - Ms. Joi - and I saw her interactions with others being kind of rude and harsh at times. However, this coming from a maid of honor's perspective, I fully enjoyed myself at the wedding ceremony and reception I took part in last July. The venue is beautiful, the food was good, and service was excellent for the most part. I would like to say on Joi's behalf that although she has an abrasive personality and probably could handle things with a little more of a softer touch, she really came through for me when I needed a hand. I am not sure if it was the heat, or some health conditions I have, but I almost passed out during the photo portion after the ceremony. Joi came rushing to my aid even though I did not even request her help. She got me food and water immediately and sent someone out to get cold towels to put on my shoulders as I was looking pale and overheating. She got me to sit down and rest and pretty much catered to me until I was feeling more stable. If it had not been for her noticing my loss of color and just ill appearance, as well as her quick action, I might have had to go to the hospital. So I really appreciate her attentiveness and that she took care of me when everyone else was so busy and distracted. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get married in the area and just perhaps not take anything Joi says to heart, especially knowing that she has such a compassionate, caring nature underneath her tough exterior.

I don't typically give out many 5 star ratings, but the team at Naylor Hall on Canton Street in…read moreRoswell exceeded my family's expectations. First, it's a very beautiful location with lots of historic charm. The original building was built in the 1840s with additions and renovations throughout the years. Sunny, the owner, originally gave my daughter and her fiancee a tour of the facilities. She showed them photo albums to give them an idea of the type of wedding they could expect at Naylor Hall. She answered all of their questions. She was professional and friendly. Abbey, the wedding coordinator, was wonderful. She kept everybody relaxed and organized during the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. She ensured that we knew exactly what to do and when to do it. She kept everybody on time, and she ensured that we had a successful, enjoyable event. The rest of the staff was also great. Hal, the DJ, played all of the songs selected by my daughter, and he was a good MC for the post reception activities, such as the cutting of the cake, first dance, father-daughter dance, and throwing of the bouquet. Eric, the photographer, was professional, organized and courteous. He gave clear instructions to the wedding party and ensured that he captured lots of wonderful photos. During the reception, he was present at all the right moments to capture memories shared by my daughter and now son-in-law with their friends and family. Raul, the bartender, was friendly and provided excellent service. He kept our guest's glasses filled and anticipated our needs throughout the evening. The rest of the staff, including many servers, made the event a big success. One thing to keep in mind is that my daughter's wedding took place during COVID. The staff at Naylor Hall took many precautions to ensure that guests were safe. They provided commemorative face masks and multiple hand sanitizing stations for our friends and family. Based upon the attention to detail placed into the planning and implementing of the event, we would highly recommend Naylor Hall if you are looking for a venue to hold a special occasion, such as a wedding.

Each time we called we spoke with someone different at their answering service and each person we spoke too either had a rude attitude or seemed to have no clue what they were talking about. We were told they would reach our to the venue & would receive an immediate call back. That never happened & at one point we were told someone was on the way and would be there in 10 minutes. Neither of these things ever happened. You would thing someone could have at least returned the phone call. We would have been understanding if there were some sort of confusion on their end, but to completely ignore the situation was just wrong. We received an email from Naylor Hall the following day claiming they did not receive confirmation of the tour. However, we have the email with confirmation. I have zero confidence in a wedding venue planning my daughters big day when they cannot even show up for a tour. Needless to say this was a blessing in disguise as my daughter found her dream venue & they were by far the most professional people we have met in this entire planning process.

Flint Hill was incredible as a venue. I knew from the moment that I saw it that it would be the…read moreplace, but I didn't know yet how simple they would make the process. From start to finish the planner and coordinator (Bethany and Jasmin) assigned to help me were phenomenal in answering all of my questions. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to ask for a thing. The tiniest details I would simply be informed of if needed, never bothered. Later I realized I never once even visited the bar, or appetizer room because everything was consistently brought to me! All of the guests complimented us on the venue and said the food was great. I ate a bit but honestly was just busy and can't remember! The old saying its over before you know it is so true! The flowers and decorations I asked for were done perfectly. I never saw them in advance and was thrilled with how they turned out. One of the best parts about the venue is that here in Georgia the weather can change in an instant. It was 70 early in the week and the day of the high dropped to 50 and we had a good chance of rain. The venue was able to give me until when I arrived at the venue just two hours before the ceremony to make the decisions about if I wanted to move forward with inside or outside! I will note, picking a Magic Moments venue is not going to be the cheap option. This is not the way you want to go if you want to pinterest DIY the wedding for savings, but once you start to lose your mind with stress, this will be the venue you'll be grateful you paid for to take care of everything for you! In the end, I thought I would be able to do so much myself, but between the very very few things that the venue doesn't take care of (dealing with getting RSVPs lol!) the stress of trying to DIY anything extra would have been way too much. So thrilled with how everything turned out.

My wedding at Flint Hill had two different stories: The wedding day was fantastic, but the planning…read morewas a nightmare. I suspect the positive reviews reflect the former. I will share advice that I wish I had received before making a 50% deposit. My rating is based on the planning. The day of would get 4 stars. - We were glad we had an outside wedding planner to be our ally. If you've never planned an event like this, you might not realize that you can easily be taken advantage of. - They provide a lot of staff on the day of the event, but some of them were people we had never met. We had an eight-minute call with our "Day of Reception Director" the week before the wedding. She is a part-time (weekends) employee who doesn't even have a company email address. - We were dazzled by Melissa's sales pitch. She spent 2 hours with us when we came in for a tour and it was great. We thought she would be a great ally in this process. She was super friendly and helpful through the contract process until we paid 50%. - We needed to read every version of the updated invoice to catch price changes. The price of our dessert was $9 until one day it was $9.50. They charged us $150 for early arrival with a $150 credit to cancel it out. One day that credit had changed from $150 to $2. Laura from the design studio "accidentally" increased the price of some tablecloths by $5 each. - Their contracts sometimes expire after two days, and they said we needed to sign before getting answers to our questions. This happened with 2 contract addendums. We asked questions. Melissa said "Any specific detail changes to this contract will be handled in the extended planning sessions." - They marginalized me while behaving towards my husband. We had a recurrent problem where I would send an email, no response, husband reminds them, and they respond quickly. One time they ignored my email for five days. When he replied to my note, they responded to him within the hour. I don't know if it's because he's a man, he makes more money than I do, or they simply didn't like me. - If we didn't get it in writing, they often denied it. There are numerous topics that I am certain we discussed verbally but unfortunately I didn't have it in writing. With the issue mentioned above, they insisted we never discussed it, and they only agreed to do it because we found written confirmation. - We needed to spend at least $2,000 at their design studio, but we didn't have any trouble exceeding the minimum. We had very minimal design requirements, brought in an outside florist for the bouquets, and our initial quote was over $1,900, not counting the $700 tablecloth rental. - Menu changes come with an upcharge. You only get to put out one salad dressing. If you want your guests to have a choice, there is an $0.50 per person. Mashed potatoes come with no toppings. Want to add something as simple as sour cream or chives? One dollar per person for each topping. - We paid more than 80% of the adult rate for children aged 4-9. Children starting at age 10 are charged full price. The menu says "reduced rate" for children, but the aren't mentioned until much later in the process. They get a 20% discount on the base price for the buffet, but they are full price for drinks, dessert, and add-ons. I don't know if they would also be charged 100% for drink packages with alcohol. - We had to convince them to let us have a menu tasting. They offered us a "tasting box" with six items from another event's menu but only one or two from our menu. None of these options had our main dishes included. They said the point of a tasting box is to understand the quality of the food, not our specific menu. I want to thank Kristin, the CEO, for her help. Two months before our wedding, she allowed us to switch from the Atrium to Flint Hill (for a cost of $3,500) The change in venue couldn't fix corporate policies and staff difficulties though. I can honestly say that planning this wedding was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good luck, future brides and grooms.

You see, I'd planned to have a simple wedding. I didn't care about all of the frills (at first). I just wanted good food, good drinks and the people we care most about in attendance. And Carlyle House made everything easy. They could customize my linens, we had a great choice of food and they were willing to let me bring in my own cupcakes. Add all that to the super cute old house that has an add-on ballroom and I was sold at first glance. Gerise - the on-site planner - was awesome. I never felt like she wanted to kill me after I would send her one of hundreds of emails with questions as I worked my way into becoming a minor bridezilla. She choreographed the rehearsal perfectly and was even better on our wedding day. She made me not regret hiring a wedding planner because she seriously did it all for us. In the end, I did turn into the bride I never dreamed I would be - personalized aisle runner, flowers I never wanted, a candy buffet and cute little signs I thought I could DIY and ended up hiring out. And even though my then-fiancé made the mistake of actually calling me BrideZilla a few times (he obviously has never seen the show with the REAL bridezillas), our wedding was absolutely PERFECT. Even my always-disapproving-of-everything mother-in-law loved it. And that's more than any praise I can give anything in this world. The food was great - better than we expected. The drinks were great. The night was great. And we are now Mr. & Mrs. Kim. That is sooo great!
