    READ THE CONTRACT, IT IS UNETHICAL…read more TL;DR: Red Gate will charge you full price if you cancel even if they book the date you cancel. I come from a journalism and legal communications background, so I want to be sure that I am stating the facts as clearly and accurately as possible. My fiance and I visited Red Gate in late February to tour the place for our early October wedding. We loved it, and the individual who gave us the tour was incredibly kind and answered our questions. My fiance was especially excited by the fact that there was a miniature donkey available to help serve drinks. That's somewhat important for later. We did a soft hold for an October 9 wedding, but we were told we only had a few days to make a decision since October is an extremely popular month. We had toured another venue that same day that was well outside our budget range, while Red Gate seemed pretty affordable, so we agreed. A few weeks into searching out their recommended vendors was a stressful period of time, especially for my fiance. The vendors were quoting MORE than we were paying for the venue, and my fiance was becoming more and more distressed about the ballooning prices. Given complex family situations, we knew we'd have to foot most of the bill. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we spoke to a coordinator. Red Gate does NOT allow outside coordinators; they have a select list of vendors from whom you can choose, and that's it. The vendor we talked to was more than double the price of the venue, and we were quickly outside of our budget range that we had stated to our tour guide at Red Gate (the vendor was also going to charge for the donkey, which my fiance and I both thought we heard the tour guide say was included in the venue rental price). Since Red Gate does not allow outside coordinators, we sadly had to cancel. Red Gate tried to offer us a different date, but given that we have to move across the country shortly after our wedding for my job, we couldn't flex it. We toured and booked in February and canceled in late April. Which is plenty of time to rebook the October date that we were assured is the busiest time of the year and there was already someone else asking about that date. During the cancellation discussions, we found out that the contract specifies that there is no refund for cancelling. So, Red Gate has the audacity to charge us thousands of dollars for a service we are not going to use at all, a service that we ultimately decided is cheaper to cancel than to continue on, and a service they've probably already double-dipped on at this point. To say this is unethical is an understatement. I feel some responsibility on my part for not carefully looking through the contract, but we were excited and felt a little rushed being informed that someone else was asking about the date. The most Red Gate offered was to cancel the alcohol deposit, which goes a small way, but the right, human action to do would be to refund the whole amount seeing as how we are not going to use any of it. This is disappointing and shady behavior. I'm all too happy to delete this review should Red Gate contact me and offer a refund, but given that they've baked this into their contract, I'm not getting my hopes up.

    I use to work for these criminals when I was younger in 2006 when they were located off President…read moreSt in Savannah GA.I was a struggling newly wedded father who needed all his coins.We were responsible for putting up tents they rented from Ranco tent company out of Statesboro GA, setting up all the heavy stuff like chairs tables,and cleaning up after the event.Well they had a lot of work and needed extra help but didn't have enough people so they asked me would I be willing to help them out?I said yes because I need the money and by law anything over 40hrs is overtime in the state of Georgia and you are supposed to be paid for time and a half,just as they had posted inside of there break room.They worked me over 80 hours in one week but when it was time to pay me the lady tried to pay me straight time instead of the time and a half required by law.I thought it was a mistake but when I brought it to her attention she said I wouldn't be paid for time and a half just straight hourly wage which at that time was only 9 Dollars and hour.I stated to her that by law I was intitled to time and a half.She said ok you can leave or she would call the police.I said call the police you are the one who is wronging me.This lady actually called the police on me and I wasn't loud or threatening towards her.i was just pointing out to her what I saw as a mistake at the time.Long story short I never got my money because the police said that this is a civil issue and I would have to take them to court.He stated that I was right but they don't handle civil issues the only reason why they were there was because she said she felt threatened.smh Long story short I didn't have the money or the time to see them so I lost out.For many years this bothered me because I felt like I was done like that because I was black.This company is not owned by someone who has integrity or morals.Or maybe they have or she has changed because nothing stays the same.Im not the same as I use to be.I really just wanted her to see this all these years later and think back to that incident.I helped you and your company and you did me wrong but I'm not seeking revenge I just wanted to get that off my chest.

    My day of coordinator dealt with this vendor mostly (because of her vendor discount), but from what…read moreI saw of the actual wedding day rentals and final price, everything was perfect! Thanks!
