We understand, however, there was no communication no work to show for as to far as what had been done. 1,200.00 a month and 1-2 Facebook ads had been ran. Along with website issues that had still not been resolved, facebook and instagram issues with why we cannot use tap to shop. We waited the entire month of November for her to reach out to us to help build our small business. Come November 31st there had been no contract with her, she had not reached out once to update us on anything. BUT December 1st she reached out for her 1,200.00. I was recommended to this company, and we were tremendously disappointed. We have moved on to another company who has helped us every step of the way, Communicated and cared.

They "coordinated" my wedding. They over-promised and under-delivered. Trying to communicate with…read morethese ladies is the pits. They simply do not have the capacity to think outside of their narrow way of looking at things. Event planning/coordinating means that you take the customer's creation and make it perfect. However, because we were assertive in what we wanted, we walked away feeling as though they sabotaged our wedding. To top it all off, at the end of the evening, when confronted why a simple thing like, why the candles for our centerpieces didn't get lit, they wouldn't let me speak and kept cutting me off. They ended up walking away from me...their customer. And when I raised my voice only enough for them to be able to hear me because they were 30 feet away, they yelled at me for "screaming at them."

The grounds are beautiful and it's great that they have the projector, screen, wi-fi and PA system built in (a big savings for us on costs). Eva and Holly are so responsive and made planning so easy. My guests loved the rustic feel, with all of the modern amenities (including A/C and heat). I look forward to coming back for our next event in the area.

He is an amazing man of faith who is incredibly personable and a true pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding is tough enough and Paster Mabry made it easy. He gave us great material help with organizing the flow if our ceremony. Reasons Paster Mabry should be your wedding officiant: 1) Genuine Warmth - From our first meeting he put us completely at ease. He took the time to get to know us in a short time. We knew when we left the meeting that we found the right officiant for our special day. 2) Affordable - When planning a wedding it's easy for the budget to spiral out of control. Sensational Ceremonies was a reasonable choice. Paster Mabry met with us for an initial meeting, attended the rehearsal & and conducted the ceremony all for an affordable price. 3) Organized - One of the choices you have to make when planning a wedding is whether the officiant will attend the rehearsal. When I contacted other officiants most didn't see the need to attend the rehearsal since they have conducted many weddings. That may be fine in some situations however we wanted to make sure that everything was a stress-free, no-brainer on wedding day. It was Paster Mabry's experience with weddings that was invaluable at the rehearsal. Having him attend the rehearsal was (next to choosing him) one of the best decisions we made. Even though we had a wedding director that conducted the rehearsal Paster Mabry gave great guidance on the ceremony. Because of this we felt very confident going into the wedding the following day. 4) Charming Person - He was a calming influence on the wedding day. Even though we had a hiccup (one of the unity candles went out) he was able to bring lite humor to the moment defusing any possible nervous tension. Additionally he took the time to get to know us well enough that everyone was comfortable. Many people commented on how much they loved the way he conducted the ceremony and because it felt very personal they also thought we had known him for a long time. Selecting Paster Mabry was one of our best decisions and Sensational Ceremonies made it easy.

There's a few different indoor dining areas, an indoor bar with more relaxed seating, an outdoor patio dining area, a live music mini amphitheater that had a solo lady serenading our Sunday brunch, and there's a large venue building and outdoor area off to the side. We sat outside in the patio area because the weather was perfect, and enjoyed the free show while sampling their brunch menu. Service was very personable and attentive, and I noticed it wasn't just our server. It looked like they put a lot of focus on making diners feel welcome, helping them navigate the menus, joking with the tables, answering questions, etc. The brunch menu had the greatest hits you'd expect and both of our choices came out quickly and tasty. Their cocktail menu has some great concoctions as well if you're looking for something spirited to go along with your eggs. Long story short, from our out of towner one visit perspective, I'd tell others to check out The Grove if you're in Tyler and looking for some good food and service in a beautiful surrounding.
