My son's engagement party was recently held here. The venue is lovely and the bride to be said…read moreeverything was "perfect." The event was held in the barn and parking was nearby. Outdoor games were allowed.

Marilyn and Mitch of Camellia Gardens should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. 2 weeks prior to…read moreour wedding, they called us and made us drive over an hour to meet with them and told us we need to cut our list of 150 guests (which was just fine less than 12 hours ago at our final meeting) to 75 guests. Mitch looked at my wife and I and stated verbatim, "People don't really like weddings anyway. There's been plenty of times where I've been on my way to a wedding and decided I don't want to go, so I just turn around." How could the owner of a WEDDING venue say a thing like that? Especially to the party that has paid in full to have the wedding there? Marilyn and Mitch both stated the reason for them making changes (again 2 weeks prior to our wedding) is due to COVID. We completely understood their concerns and agreed to have our guests sign waivers and maintain a safe distance between each other due to it being an all outdoor wedding. Marilyn and Mitch both stated that wasn't good enough and wanted us to change our seating groups AGAIN in order to accommodate for 23 guests per group and they were not allowed to interact in between groups for the entirety of the wedding. As over 50% of our guests were coming out of state, we didn't know how we were going to split them up into groups of 23, let alone uninvite many key family members to our own wedding 2 weeks prior. Speaking to Marilyn on the phone, I had told her that it being 2 weeks away from the wedding, hotels and flights have already been booked for our family members and many of our family members cannot get refunds this close to the date. Fast forward to 9 days before the wedding, Marilyn and Mitch made another important change; no father/daughter dances, cocktail hour, lawn games, or dancing of any kind would be allowed at our wedding. Failure to follow any of their new guidelines would result in Mitch "calling his good friend and Republican Sheriff to come arrest anyone not abiding by their rules." I again called Marilyn and stated that if any of these concerns had been brought up at our final walkthrough in May (My wedding was originally in June but had been moved to August), we would have made the appropriate changes to allow us to have our wedding at Camellia Gardens. During our final walkthrough in May, NC was in the Phase 1 stage of COVID and we had agreed on having the wedding as planned. 9 days before the wedding, we had to call Marilyn and beg her to try to meet halfway with some of our wedding planning as only having half our guests in attendance, no father/daughter dances, cocktail hour, lawn games for reception, and no dancing. Marilyn talked to me as if I was a child and refused to try to come up with any further solutions. I informed her that it being a little over a week away, I would have to think of a possible change of venue and asked if there would be any refund. I understand not refunding the $500.00 deposit, but to refuse ANY refund at all despite their breach of contract in all of the amenities they offer, is absolutely disgraceful. With 9 days before our wedding, all of our invites, save the dates, alcohol ordered, customized with our date on it items such as ring bearer box, vow books, and other misc. items, the flowers ordered, hotels booked, flights booked, honeymoon flights and hotel booked, linens rented, and caterer food ordered, we had no choice but to find another venue and pay for it IN FULL just 8 days from our wedding date. During the first meeting 2 weeks out from our wedding, our wedding coordinator called Marilyn and Mitch on our behalf as we were distraught to try to discuss changes and Marilyn and Mitch were extremely rude and stated, "If they have a problem with it, they can call us to talk about it." After the last phone call with them 8 days prior to the wedding, Marilyn and Mitch then tried calling our wedding coordinator to discuss their CLIENT'S changes and never once tried to reach out to us. During this experience, it is abundantly clear that Marilyn and Mitch of Camellia Gardens are strictly in this business for the money and not actually in their client's best interests in having the best day imaginable. After switching to a new venue, I even had a vast majority of my vendors explain to me how happy they were not to have to work with Camellia Gardens and if they had been booked prior to us finding the venue, they would have told us to stray away from Camellia Gardens. To sum things up, Marilyn and Mitch Eudy of Camellia Gardens are a disgrace to the wedding industry. I highly suggest to anyone reading this that they find a more suitable venue who actually cares about their client's best day imaginable. (Tipsy Goat Estate in Rock Hill, SC is a phenomenal venue who went above and beyond to make our day perfect with just a week away from our wedding. I couldn't recommend them more.)

Absolutely perfect place to host your wedding! Beautiful…read moreevent venue with so many accommodations!

We worked with Matt Starnes with Hospitality Butler and the White Home and would not recommend…read moretheir services due to overall dishonesty. Tent rental: We found out the weekend before our wedding that there was a tornado expected in the surrounding area on our wedding day and that we should expect heavy rain for our ceremony and reception--which were to take place outdoors. We contacted Matt immediately to help us arrange a tent but he told us he was too busy on Monday and would get back to us. By Tuesday (for a Friday wedding), we decided to take it upon ourselves to find a tent. We finally found a company that would be able to provide on our day--they estimated that the tent would cost about $1300. We brought all of this to Matt and he told us we could not use outside rentals at our venue. He sent a quote for an in-house rental (his own company) for over $3800, almost 3 times the cost of the other vendor's quote. When we questioned Matt as to why the tent through his company was so much more expensive, he discounted the rate to $2800, but even that price was more than double the other vendor we'd contacted. Charged for fake services: We were told that with alcohol being served at the wedding, we would have to pay to have an undercover officer from the Rock Hill Police Department for 4 hours during the reception. This was fine with us and we didn't have any issue with it until we realized that there wasn't an officer at our wedding. We reached out to the department to confirm that there was someone working but they said they hadn't had a request from Matt since May, and no requests at all for our wedding date. There was never an attempt to provide the service that we were charged for and when we brought it to Matt's attention he tried to argue with us and claimed that he had requested an officer but there was "a miscommunication". Even with a miscommunication, an honest wedding planner and venue would have realized there was no officer and remove the $200 charge from our bill. Condition of the venue: When we arrived at the venue on the day of the wedding, there was no cold water and the sink was clogged in the bathroom closest to the stairs. The sink in the bridal suite was leaking during the event and eventually fell off the wall, missing one of our guests' feet by inches. When the guest told Matt about the problem in the bathroom, he yelled at her, accusing her of sitting on the sink causing it to fall (the guest, who was 8-months pregnant, was not sitting on the sink). Though the sink installation is solely the responsibility of the venue, Matt acted as though he was doing us a favor by not making us pay for repairs. (This also raises a question about liability insurance and whether it is the responsibility of the client or the venue. We were made to take out liability insurance to book the venue). Missing/stolen items: We were responsible for buying the alcohol for our guests and planned to take any leftover with us. We were upset to find out that $400 worth of the purchased alcohol "went missing" the night of the wedding. Though we contacted Matt about it, he made no effort to help locate the missing items. He told us he "had done everything he could" but when asked what he actually did to help find the alcohol he had no answer. We then asked the bartender, who asked us to not tell Matt that we had spoken because Matt told the bartender not to talk to us about the missing alcohol. When we asked Matt if he could review the security cameras on site, we were told that only two cameras in the venue actually work and neither of them would show the area that our alcohol went missing from. Not only did Matt make us feel like an afterthought for our own wedding, but he also was rude and argumentative to us and our guests and obstructive when we simply tried to locate our missing property after the event. In hindsight, I feel that we were too trusting in the Hospitality Butler and the White Home to provide us all of the services we agreed on and to make sure our belongings left their venue safely.

We selected the Play & Explore package with a Paw Patrol theme + photobooth for 20-25 people. That was it! They took care of absolutely everything from food, to decore, activities. To say I was blown away is an understatement. Our kids had the absolute best time! There was so much for them to do (slides, teeter totter, playhouse, etc). The decor was far beyond anything I could've planned myself. The pricing was amazing, the service was superb, the level of care and attention to detail far exceeded anything I've ever experienced. If you're considering this venue, I'd say go for it. You will not be let down. It's the reviews that made us comfortable in choosing this venue and I can say, all the great things you are reading are true. In fact, it's hard to capture in words. Take a look at the pictures and the smiles! We will definitely be using their service again. In going family owned, you are getting that personal touch you'd find hard to find anywhere else. Thank you so much for making our party a toddlers dream come true!

Our first visit to the Sylvia was thanks to a promotion another local business was running (803 Industries a resale/consignment shop a few doors down that I've also fallen in love with). They rented the theater for a free private movie showing for their customers (how awesome is that). After the showing I realized what we had been missing. Yes it is a small single screen theater, but there is so much to love. Right in the heart of charming historic downtown, a building with so much history, current movies and very reasonable prices, they serve beer and wine (bonus), they have concerts both local and national acts. I don't have to drive 30 mins to Rock Hill and I love to sit upstairs in the balcony. I've been back twice now, once for a concert and once to see Star Wars a second time with my daughter.
