Georgia, Major and their entire staff was wonderful. The decorations, food, atmosphere, too. We had the rehearsal at Morels, it was a perfect place for the size party we had. The wedding was at Circa in December, it was perfect.

We absolutely loved having the wedding at Circa! Georgia was truly wonderful, helpful, and supportive. She was patient and encouraging and let us know, although I felt I was going out of my mind, that we were doing okay and that everything woul...
d be spectacular. The venue is so beautiful and so easy to decorate. They give you so much creative freedom to make the event special and unique, it's so comforting, their whole process, really nice. Georgia recommended many amazing meal possibilities Morel's Restaurant could prepare for us. With this collaborative team also working as the caterer, the presentation and timing of the meal was suscinct and cohesive, and the food! The food was so very delicious, the meal was seamless perfection. The other vendors recommended were amazing as well. The day-of was terrific and more than memorable. From the setup to picking things up afterwards, everything was so uncomplicated, chill and easy. We cannot boast enough about this fabulous Venue. We loved Circa, Morel's. Everyone involved from the owners, staff, and other vendors... all were so very kind and awesome. You can't go wrong in any way choosing Circa for your event!

I have attended and held several events at Circa in past couple of years. The building with its old brick walls and the lighting through the windows has made every event beautiful and unforgettable. There is so much detail that goes into every ...

My wife and I met with Mrs Georgia twice. My wife met with her a few additional times along with communicating with her through telephone, text or email. Each conversation was like speaking with her for the first time. Things that were previous...
ly discussed had to be reviewed because it seemed as though she had no knowledge of what was agreed upon even though she took notes. After she explained times for the vendors I stressed that I would make sure everyone was out and personal things removed for 11. The day of the service Mrs Georgia approached our DJ and spoke with him harshly about what time he needed to instruct everyone to leave. During our honeymoon my wife received a message from Mrs Georgia speaking about money she owed us from a table that wasn't used but that my father in law had received drinks from the bar in which he hadn't paid for so we'd just call it even. Upon checking with my father in law it was learned the total cost for his mixed drinks was $28 in which he paid the bartender $60 telling her to keep the change. This was relayed to Mrs Georgia but as most communication leading up to the wedding she has yet to respond. The ceremony and reception was awesome because of the staff that works for Circa however the process leading up to the ceremony is far from easy as Mrs Georgia makes it seem. I gave them 3 stars because of the staff. When you charge as much as Mrs Georgia does for EVERYTHING you need to have your I's dotted and T's crossed which doesn't seem to happen. The manager, kitchen staff, bartenders and servers are the ones that made our ceremony what it was because the planning with Mrs Georgia was stressful.
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2019
Gary, Thank you for your input concerning yours and Morgan’s wedding celebration. You are correct in saying that I did continually want to review questions pertaining to your wedding event. Morgan and I began working on this project in Mar...
ch 2019 and I wanted to be certain that we were all “on the same page”. I wanted everything to be perfect for you and Morgan by dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s. When I invited Morgan to come visit Circa just before another wedding event, it was to help her get a feel for what Circa looked like when decorated. I felt that Morgan and I had a great relationship and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. You are right. I offered your father-in-law Crown Royal, even though it was not part of the selected bar package – because it was his favored beverage choice. I was not aware that he had paid the bartender for his beverages. I apologize for texting you on your honeymoon. I just did not want you to think that I was going to charge you for a table that you ended up not using. My mistake. You are correct about the manager, kitchen staff, bartenders and servers being the ones that made your ceremony what it was, even though the planning with Mrs. Georgia was stressful. Most of my staff has been with me for 10-15 years – one for 42 years. It is my job to work out all of the small details that make it all happen. All brides experience this stressfulness – even at other venues. I apologize though that this part of the process upset you. I shall definitely share your kind words with my staff. It will affirm for them the good work that they are doing. Please feel free to phone, email, text me. Your input is valuable to us. Thank you for your 3 star rating. We appreciate your input. It will help us to grow and become even better at what we do -- making wedding events eventful. Thank you so much. Georgia Morel Circa Events
