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.

**Racial Discrimination at 701 Whaley Street Venue Hall After Years of Good Business**…read more I never thought I'd have to make a post like this, but here I am. After years of successfully doing business with 701 Whaley Street, never once having an issue or incident, I am saddened and deeply hurt to share that I have experienced racial discrimination from this venue hall. For years, I've hosted events there with no problems. This year, I was excited to celebrate my 45th birthday with my annual "All White Affair," a tradition that I have always looked forward to. However, this time, I was met with nothing but resistance. Despite my long-standing relationship with the venue, they suddenly told me they don't want to do business with me anymore because of "the amount of people" and "the kind of crowd" I bring. 701 Whaley is a venue hall where people from all walks of life host events, but it became clear to me that their issue wasn't with logistics -- it was with the demographic I represent. To be turned down after years of good business, with no prior problems, simply because of the people I attract, is nothing short of blatant discrimination. I'm sharing my story because this kind of treatment is unacceptable and shouldn't happen to anyone. After years of support and professionalism, it's disheartening to be shut out for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of my events. We must hold spaces like 701 Whaley accountable for their actions and ensure they are inclusive to everyone, regardless of race or background. #StandAgainstDiscrimination #SupportInclusivity #EqualTreatmentForAll 701 Whaley

Today at 5pm we were scheduled to tour Heron Hill venue in Lexington. I booked the appointment over…read morea week ago and included my name, Bekah's name and that we were both the bride (since it asked for our "roles"). I not only received a confirmation for the tour, but text and email reminders since booking. This would have been our very first venue tour as part of our planning process. I've researched the venue, which is absolutely beautiful, and heard nothing but good things from a friend that was married last year. This morning, I am getting out my car to go into a training class and get a call. It was a male from Heron Hill who said he had some bad news he hated to have to share. My first thought was the tour was cancelled or they were all booked. Instead I was told that Heron Hill, who claims no religious affiliation on their site, brochures or booking material, does not believe in same sex marriage and had to cancel our tour. He went on to say "we like you, we actually love you, but we don't believe in that" which made the entire situation even more insulting and humiliating. I would understand this response from a church or even an establishment with noticeable religious ties, however, nothing about Heron Hill's marketing would indicate they adhere to a belief system that discriminates. I can assure you I wouldn't put myself in that situation if I didn't need to and surely would not be willing to give them my money. Unfortunately, in SC its not illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, but it is hurtful and incredibly disappointing. Its 2024. We were not going to pay them to conduct the service. They market themselves as an EVENT VENUE, and would be paid to host an EVENT. There was no FAQ submission that discussed their feelings and/or beliefs about the events.

The venue itself is nice, clean, and has great potential for events -- so my rating is based solely…read moreon my experience with the owner, not the space. I booked the venue for 10/25, but on 10/23, things went left. Up until then, communication and everything else had been fine. However, the owner gave one of my vendors incorrect information regarding communication, which wasn't true and felt unprofessional. That's when my experience started to shift. Another thing that bothered me was being asked to pay a damage waiver, then later finding out from my decorator that the owner had been onsite during setup. When I arrived around 7:30 PM for my Halloween photoshoot, the owner was sitting outside in her car. While I was inside taking pictures, she remained nearby. Once I realized she was still there, I decided not to continue my shoot and texted my decorator to come gather her things. Once my decorator came to collect her items, the owner joined us inside and stayed there until we finished, which added to the uneasy feeling I already had. Even though the event itself was canceled and I only used the venue for a photoshoot, I still paid for full-day access and expected to feel comfortable during my rental time. The venue is beautiful, but the owner's approach and lack of professionalism really took away from what could have been a much better experience. Update to Owner's Response: First, let's talk about communication. You were being lazy -- plain and simple. You know we've been communicating through email and Facebook Messenger, and your own response to my message (which I'll gladly post) proves my point. Second, I changed my personal phone number, which I'm under no obligation to share with you, especially since we were already in contact through multiple other ways. Instead of reaching out by email or Messenger like you've always done, you chose not to contact me at all -- and then lied by saying you couldn't reach me. What's worse is you contacted my decorator first, before even attempting to message me directly, and I have receipts of you admitting it. Third, let's address the deposit situation. I was asked to pay a damage waiver while you were onsite the entire time, monitoring everything during setup and throughout the evening. That didn't sit right with me, because if you're physically present the whole time, what exactly is the waiver protecting you from? Also, when we book an event, we're paying for private use of that space during the hours listed on the contract -- not for the owner to hover or interfere. You're supposed to be on contact for emergencies, not stationed inside the venue watching over everyone like a chaperone. Lastly, I don't care if you and my decorator worked well together or if other clients like you being onsite -- I didn't ask for you to be there. My review reflects my experience, not anyone else's.

Throughout the process I felt that special attention was being given to my requests and timeframes. The owner even threw in some extras that I had not thought to ask for. I was grateful for her consideration, because that was above the tenets of our contract. Many of my guests remarked on the space and inquired about booking it for their events. I was so pleased, that I have already booked the space for another event this year. I am always excited/grateful when supporting small business owners goes well. I can say, without a doubt, that Luxe will be my go to venue in the future.
