Antique Rose Ville

I do have a lot to say about this venue- both good and bad. I’ll start off with saying that my actual wedding turned out beautiful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better night. The food was great, and the property is amazing. Now for the tough part. We booked this venue for our wedding about a year or so in advance. I think we paid a reasonable price for about 150 guests. From the beginning, Mrs Linda was a bit pushy on decisions she wanted me to make for my wedding, but I brushed it off and continued with what I wanted to do. No big deal! Rehearsal was a breeze and we eventually came back on the Friday to decorate and get things ready. I spoke to the owners a good bit in advance, and they let me know we could set up whatever we needed the day before with no issues! I got to the venue Friday, eager to set up and get things rolling. There was a table my fiancé moved a bit to the left, just to use as a desert table. (This will be important later). We asked to get into one of the outside rooms to set up, a worker said it might be locked and she would check. We waited a few minutes and didn’t see her again, but I noticed the back side door was unlocked, so I just went around to avoid having to take time from them. When I opened the front door, an alarm went off. This is when all hell broke loose. Mrs Linda came out spitting fire at me. She was berating me and getting in my face about moving a table, and saying we “pried her antique doors open” which we did not do in the slightest! I was already stressed )(wedding jitters) and this was just not something I could handle. She continued on to corner me and get in my face, hands and all. My fiancé had to step in. From there, we were all fighting. Her accusing us of things we didn’t do, or didn’t know we couldn’t do, and us trying to explain how things actually happened. When I say we were ALL yelling- I almost took a refund and canceled the wedding. It was really bad. Never in my life have I ever talked to a client or treated a client the way I was (and my whole family) treated by this woman. After things died down, I do believe she apologized to my fiancé and things went very well on the day of the wedding. I just can not shake the fact that she got into my (the brides) face, day before I’m supposed to get married, what should be the happiest time of my life! There was way more yelling and fighting about things, but that about sums it up. I cried five times that day. I really only recommend this venue if you’re okay with basically letting someone else take full control of your wedding for you. If you want to have things your way, please, find another venue!
