My husband and I took a tour of this beautiful venue and decided it was just the unique place we had in mind. At the time, the event coordinator had plenty of suggestions for how we could make it work perfectly and promised that they'd accommod...ate me in any way they could. This changed quickly, however, once they had our money. Shortly before my wedding, I mentioned that, since I was having an early ceremony, I wanted everyone to show up at 8:30. The event coordinator insisted that it be 9AM or she'd charge us a (large) additional fee. I agreed. She had two employees that were supposed to be "working" my wedding. The one who was supposed to open the doors didn't even show up until 9:05, and never opened the door. The florist put the flowers on the front doorstep and my hair and makeup artists were lugging their big cases around waiting for this lady. Finally, at 9:15, I snuck in and opened the door myself! THEN I had to walk around holding all the flowers. The woman who was supposed to be doing all this for us was literally sitting in a chair near the door the entire time. The caterer finally took the flowers from me. Then, another employee showed up, and they BOTH just sat around talking the entire time. I don't think that I was a high maintenance bride whatsoever, and didn't really need their help, but it would have been nice if one of them maybe even asked us if there was anything they could do to help. In fact, both women refused to help any of us in any way, shape or form. One of the groomsmen requested help pinning the boutonnieres, but they refused. The one thing they did do, is have the woman who couldn't open a door at 9AM, continue to barge into the room where I was getting ready, telling me to hurry up and asking when I'd be done with hair and makeup. My husband later told me that they treated him and his groomsmen as if our wedding was simply an inconvenience to them. We took plenty of pictures for proof of their employees literally sitting around at several hours of the day. Luckily, I had a great wedding party, hair and makeup artists, and photographer who helped in any way they could, which ultimately made the day a success. The pictures came out wonderful as well, since, like I mentioned, the place is beautiful. The staff just really made me angry, as my dad graciously paid for the venue and I'm sure a big chunk of his hard earned money went towards paying these people to do absolutely nothing.
