This has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences my daughter and I have ever…read morehad while planning her wedding. We had no contact from anyone for months -- since August or September -- and only recently learned from Laura that she is no longer the correct point of contact. No one updated this information or informed us of the change. To make matters worse, my account was accidentally charged $2,413, and instead of receiving an apology or any accountability, I was sent a message explaining their payment policy. Not once did anyone acknowledge the mistake or the inconvenience it caused. The lack of communication and basic customer care is unacceptable. This was supposed to be a memorable and exciting experience for my daughter, but no one has made her feel special or supported throughout this process. It truly feels like the quality of service left when Laura did. At this point, my expectations for how the wedding will turn out in August are extremely low. I would caution anyone considering this venue to think twice before booking.

My review is from the standpoint of a guest at a Thursday 5:30 wedding and reception. It took us…read moreabout an hour to arrive from our home. We ended up arriving early because we weren't sure how traffic would be coming from the north Dallas area during rush hour, so we allowed plenty of travel time. There was plenty of parking (especially arriving early!) and we found the entry signage no problem. I love all the beautiful stone work on the buildings. This venue is gorgeous!! The wedding was held outside and the photographer was taking pictures outside so we hung out in a seating area in the lobby. I noticed a rug in the center area that had two edges sticking up and I saw several people kinda trip over it. I went to tell the bartender and she couldn't care less, after she dramatically removed her ear bud (like I was inconveniencing her). She told me to tell a staff member! I never saw anyone that looked like they worked there. A little while later I noticed two chairs were moved to that corner of the rug and that appeared to resolve any tripping hazard. The rug was well worn and just needs to be replaced, if a rug is even needed at all. The ladies room, with a sitting area, is spacious and beautiful. I did see a pleasant young lady use a blower to clear all the leaves off the area where the guests would be seated. We went outside to find a seat for the wedding. It was nice that the seating area is down from where the ceremony was held at the top of the stairs, so it had a great view. Right as the processional began a freight train had their whistle blowing, so it might be good if future weddings know the train schedule! Things slowed down a little to allow the train to finish and then we enjoyed a beautiful ceremony. The sun was still streaming in through the trees and there was a slight breeze for a beautiful October outdoor wedding. Everyone was invited to hang out inside the lobby area waiting while they took more pictures outside. It was finally time for the doors to the reception area to open up. The reception area was beautiful and later when the dancing began, there were various colored lights that lit up in the overhead mini balcony sections along the ceiling area. Everyone found their table and then when it was time for the food to be served, we were summoned by table and you walk back behind where the bride and groom presided. There was a buffet line set up and you were served what you wanted by staff. The food was all delicious! We enjoyed attending a wedding at Aristide in Mansfield!

The wedding was amazing and ran so smoothly. Sheri put so much effort into this event and the bride and groom and all the guests loved her. The mother of the bride even thanked her in the toast for taking away all their stress and making the wedding magical. I highly recommend her as your wedding coordinator. I am giving her 5 stars simply because Yelp won't allow me to give more than 5!!!

Not only did she make my vision come true with her design ability, but she even created beautiful little DIY projects that coincided with my theme. There were so many little things I would have been incredibly stressed out about or even forgotten completely, but she helped me stay in check along the entire way and recommended the most amazing vendors. I would hire Shannon a 100 more times, but I only plan I getting married once. I recommend her services to anyone and everyone. She works hard for you and makes sure your day is not only beautiful, but as care-free as a wedding can be. We love you, Shannon! Thank you for everything!

The venue was…read morewell decorated and the evening went well until after the toast when we opened champagne bottles to toast the celebrant. The staff became hostile stopped serving alcohol and called the cops. The cops were respectful as they didn't come in to disrupt the event on the instruction of management. Rather than finding a solution, they went straight to calling the cops and ruined the last hour of the party. Rather than addressing the incident, the MD Michelle Randal is giving a false narrative that guests are trying to rate them 1star. Considering, we were all black at the event, it felt like they were being racist. It was a black tie event with professional attending from different parts of the world. It was quite a shock seeing the cops. The management is yet to respond to disgruntled guest. I guess if you are coloured stay away from this establishment.
