My daughter got married at this venue this past weekend. The setting was absolutely beautiful and the outcome was wonderful. The workers at the venue were beyond helpful and I am sure are not compensated enough for what their jobs entail. Weddings are a time of high emotions and stress but obviously worth it all! I say all that to say this...the owner was is very unprofessional and extremely rude. She spoke to me and our family as well as a worker very rudely. I will not go into all the details but it basically stemmed from a simple question and she went ballistic... As an employer and a provider of service to the public (especially in this setting) this was simply not acceptable. We as the customer, who pay for the service, and, as well as, her employees, who make it happen, are who keep her in business. It tells allot about a person who speaks to their employees in this manner as well as paying customers. Although the wedding could not have turned out anymore beautifully, her behavior was simply unacceptable. I would and cannot recommend this venue but if you do book this location I would suggest in depth discussions with the owner beforehand!!!!!
My brother got married at this venue this weekend. The location and the amenities are perfect. However the owner is horrible. She was extremely rude and unprofessional during the rehearsal as well as the wedding. She micromanaged the catering company and nitpicked everything they were doing. She is apparently living on premises and even during the ceremony had her little dogs out walking around. She was rude to her workers as well. Calling them volunteers and not even addressing them by name. If you do book this location I suggest you set clear boundaries with Melinda the owner and be prepared for her antics.
