I recently filmed a wedding at SoSerene. Since I am a wedding videographer I have seen a fair number of venues in my time. SoSerene is a standout in my memory. The venue layout and upkeep / cleanliness was superb. The owner, Joy, went out of her way to help all the vendors and guests know what & where the events of the day would be. Acting as on-site coordinator she was they from my arrival before any of the guests all the way to the end of the evening when I finished recording. A place that I can fully recommend. read more

We recently worked as a vendor for a wedding at SoSerene, the staff was incredible and the facility is amazing like nothing i have ever seen. If planning a wedding in the greater Lima area i would highly recommend this venue. read more

Soserene made our wedding day perfect and Joy was a pleasure to work with. We booked the venue about 14 months ahead of time. Joy allowed us to visit the venue few times beforehand in order to help with planning our decorations and day-of coordinating. Day of the wedding, we were able to do a run through of the ceremony separately because my husband and I didn't want to do a first look. Joy and her team helped us with set up and tear down. Our wedding guests has an AMAZING time and we are still getting compliments on our wedding day!! I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone getting married, renewing vows, or just wanting a beautiful venue to host a party. As far as the previous review, Joy made it very clear to us when signing the contract and giving the deposit that there will be no refunds if our wedding was cancelled. It says this information in the contract you have to sign to reserve the venue. read more

I am very disappointed in So Serene and the owner Joy. I unfortunately had to call off my wedding shortly after I put my deposit down for So Serene. I let Joy know about this 13 months before my scheduled wedding date. Since I was able to let Joy know far enough in advance I asked if there was anyway I could get my deposit back of $1500. Joy replied back to me that if someone booked my date then she would be able to work with me on my deposit. I understand she was not obligated since I have signed a contract but seeing that I had booked a Saturday wedding in August I knew that the date would book without a problem. I kept in touch monthly with Joy to see how things were going and she always emailed me back saying that it hadn't booked yet. Four months before my scheduled wedding date I emailed her and she said that the date had finally booked but she would not be able to refund any of my deposit. I find this to be very unprofessional of Joy and So Serene. After keeping in touch monthly and after my wedding date had been booked and also after letting her know over a year in advance she will not refund my deposit. I find she is taking advantage of my situation and actually profiting off of my canceled wedding. Joy did offer after all of this for me to use my deposit towards another wedding but that's not an option for me as I am moving out of state. I would also rather not do my business with someone that I personally find deceitful. It's a shame because So Serene is a beautiful venue but unfortunately you have to work personally with the owners when you are planning a wedding and you want it to be someone you can trust when it comes to your big day. read more
