12 W Main

owners are scam artists... they want you to pay monthly, then they don't do anything except talk about money, then they want to keep your money for nothing... btw event cancelled 6 months in advance. in other words don't waste your time. I let God handle them, but don't be fooled by these people

When we got engaged in July of 2016, my first choice for a reception venue was already booked. So I found 12 West Main in late July 2016. My parents, now husband, and I all met the owner, Johnny Jones, there one afternoon and we really liked everything he had to offer and had to say. We decided to sign the contract. We met with his staff member , signed the contract and were very pleased with our decision. And then...Johnny hired Divine Eventz, INC. to "manage" the facility. Everything I loved went right out the window. First off, the new event manager NEVER reached out to me. I actually found out in a bar one night that someone else was in charge because I ran into the staff member that worked with us and she let me know she had left. I called to set up an appointment with the new manager, she wrote down the wrong day and then made it seem like it was my fault. I was told I was allowed to do things for decoration only to be told a month before the wedding those things weren't allowed anymore. The event manager does not listen to you. I would send her an email describing something and she'd reply back and have it completely wrong. She's also got an attitude. When we first signed the 12 West Main contract, there was no "in house" decorator or florist. The new event coordinator had those services. When I declined them because I had already hired someone based off my needs from when my contract was signed, she got an attitude with me and my mom and it never left. She kept telling me it was "my day" and "don't let your vendors bully you into something you don't want" and she did just that. She had my floor plan laid out before I ever decided what I wanted. I was a wreck the week prior because I was so scared the event manager was going to screw something up because she hadn't listened to me. I even drew out a floor plan of what I wanted and gave it to my decorator so she would know where things needed to be. The 12 hour rental is a bit ridiculous to be honest too. I mean really, I have rented the facility the entire day, you can let someone in a hour early to set up? I understand it but if you have a reception and you get the facility from 11:30-11:30, including your clean up and breakdown time, that doesn't leave much room for set up and everyone was way too stressed over time. Everything turned out great in the end, I will say that. But my mom did have to make a phone call to Johnny to basically tell him his event manager did not need to be there he Day of because we were extremely unhappy with her services and if she screwed something up, it would not end well. He provided a different staff member. Overall, the experience was satisfactory at best. Working with Johnny was completely different than working with his event coordinator and Divine Eventz and if those had been the people I met with initially, I would have taken my business elsewhere to avoid the headache. Do yourself the same.

12 West Main was the perfect location for our wedding! We had about 80 people attend and did both our ceremony and reception at the venue.We had plenty of room and a great space for a dance floor. We went ahead and booked the venue from 9-12 the next day as well so we could clean up. The owner was great and there for me every step of the way. I had a punk/vintage/Halloween wedding and the atmosphere was perfect. The area outside and around the venue is amazing for photography too. I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone looking for a cool, inexpensive, and gorgeous place for their wedding.

This place was definitely what I was looking for when I was picking out a place...it's got somewhat of a vintage-y look to it, it was indoors, and it offered a LOT of space. We were able to have our ceremony upstairs and the reception downstairs with plenty of room to dance!! Johnny is great to work with and is very accommodating and professional. Thank you for helping make this day the best day of our lives!
