Purchased tickets for the Purple Martin tour for 8/15. A few days after I made the reservation…read moreonline, I received an email stating that I had been refunded for my ticket purchase. I was confused, so I called the office, as I had not requested a refund or been contacted before that email was sent to me. I inquired about the refund and they stated that I would need to rebook and they could not accommodate people on 8/15. I asked why I was able to book for 8/15 at all and they were hesitant to state it was an issue on their end. They eventually explained there was an issue on their end with their website, and they had to cancel everybody that had booked on 8/15, as they had an event that day instead (an anniversary - congrats to the couple), that their website wasn't reflecting. They did not apologize and simply stated if I wanted to attend a tour, I'd just need to pick another date or I could take the refund. I explained that date was the only one that worked and thanked them for their time. At some point, they called me twice that day. But they did not leave a voicemail the first time and the second time they left a voicemail where the employees were talking to each other about who on "the list" had been contacted about the cancellations and how to mark them contacted. It was clear they were unaware I had contacted them already. I did not call back and I have not heard anything since. Just felt a little weird ‍ and impersonal, for something that is supposed to be really cool! Not a super great experience.

This is a beautiful venue and I do not regret having my wedding here in September…read more I give it only 4 stars because of the difficulties I had with Julia, the Event Coordinator. She was unprofessional and very short with me when communicating though email even though I was nothing but friendly with her. When we first looked at the venue in person, she spent the whole time texting on her phone, and when I asked her questions about where couples typically have the ceremony she said "I don't really know anything about what they do because I am not here when they have the event." The worst part was the day of the event when Julia neglected to give me the passcode to enter---on the day of my wedding. We were doing the setup ourselves and working with very limited time and I ended up getting the code 45 minutes past when we should have had it! She claimed she "thought she had given it to me" and basically gave me a "whoops" when she looked back in her messages and found out she didn't. For a venue as nice as this, Julia certainly isn't doing them any favors. Otherwise, I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It is far more beautiful in person than what you see in the pictures, and the views from the inside and outside are amazing. I love that we could do both our ceremony outside in the sand, and our reception inside (with great views!) without having to have our guests change venues. It does, however, get very hot inside in the warmer months even with the fans and air conditioning since the place is screened in. All in all, the Lake House was the perfect casual, warm and inviting setting to have our small wedding!
