Classic Hall

c Hall. I personally worked with Brit for about 6 months at the Classic Hall. During that time I learned a lot about Brit Haskins, this made me very sceptical to have our event at Classic Hall, but was too late as we had already put so much money down on our wedding. We booked the ‘Elite’ Package ($2,800). I decided to not purchase the decor package as it was way too expensive ($3,000) so I did the decor myself. During the planning process Brit really never checked in with me and was not the easiest to get a hold of when I did have questions. After multiple re-schedules to book our final walk through meeting to accommodate her schedule, at one point was suggested me to ride with her to another event location that was more important to her, we finally settled on meeting at 8:30PM on a Friday night. Wednesday before our event we set up the decor, before we got there I got a text from Brit explaining 5 of the 15 linens wouldn’t be arriving until Thursday EOD as they were shipped ‘separately’. She then asked if I would be ok with her giving me the building key to close up as she had family obligations. That night I also mentioned to her that I had forgotten to give her my slideshow on a USB and she said “yeah we should test that to make sure it works” fast forward the night before our wedding telling me at 7:46PM that the slideshow needed to be on a DVD. This was not addressed during the two conversations I had with her nor the email I sent her with the slideshow as a backup. Also that night I had noticed the linens that I had paid extra money for were not pressed and placed on the table straight from the package. I text Brit that night that the lines were not pressed she just replied that she didn’t have a way to press the linens. The next morning, I brought my own ironing board and iron to press the linens myself. I had left for an appointment meanwhile I got a message from Brit “Ummm..need my linens to set your tables…” once we got back from my appointment my MOH and I proceeded to press the linens while Brit tried to tell us a ‘smarter’ way to press the linens with her steamer. When we arrived to the grooms dinner I was greeted by the chef who proceeded to tell me that Brit had confirmed a couple days prior that we would be having ham dinner. As this was not the dinner we had picked and had always been a pasta dinner. Leaving the grooms dinner that night we still have two linens missing as the assistant said she had two of the linens at her house and at this point I didn’t know what was the truth. I never felt like our event was a top priority for Brit and never once did she show any interest in our event. I was treated like an employee more than a client. I feel like this space was way over priced paying for a building with limited added service. (9K+) She will never owns up to her own mistakes when confronted and has an excuse for everything even though poor communication and reposes time is common feedback she gets from clients. Future Brides proceed at your own risk, if you’re looking for immediate customer service this is not the place to book your wedding.

nue about a year back. The owner/coordinator, Brit, treated her more as an employee than a client. Here's why. The bride had to buy her own floor length table linens for 15 tables. Bride paid $150 to Brit to order the linens. Which okay whatever. The venue was going to have the tables ready. The Bride and I showed up Thursday to set up. Most of the linens were there...but not all of them. 10 out of the 15 linens were at the venue. Where were they? Hadn't been shipped yet. Okay... *Side note* Brit had been called to Brainerd and we ended up with the other coordinator, which thank god. Emily was a godsend. Get there Friday for rehearsal and set up the rest of the tables since we didnt have 5 of the linens. 3 of the linens were there, but where were the 2 other ones? "Apparently" the linens had been shipped in two different boxes. One box had showed up, the other one had not. Emily had told me she had the 2 other linens at her house and would have them ready to go Saturday morning before we showed up to the venue to get ready. Like I had said, Emily was a godsend and she had everything done. Rehearsal Dinner - The grooms dinner had always had been pasta. Caterer shows up with ham. Caterer had confirmed with Brit a couple days prior that it was pasta and Brit said no, it was ham. So out comes the ham at grooms dinner. The bride had everything in her details sheet and confirmed pasta at their final meeting with Brit. The caterer felt so bad for the wrong grooms dinner, that he did a complimentary pasta dish for the wedding dinner. Bless him. Wedding Day - Things went pretty well. The only downfall was the bride had made a slideshow to play during dinner and the reception. It was unknown to the bride the slideshow had to be formatted on a DVD, where the bride was told to us an USB for the slideshow. Okay well. Lack of communication. Bride and I went to buy blank DVDs. Formatted it onto the DVD. Wedding Day - They couldn't get it to work. Icing on cake. You dont get what you pay for. You get a shady coordinator. Every future bride. Be careful.

wonderful! The manager asked me to leave after letting her know that I could hear her and the staff talking louder than I could hear the brides father give his speech. I asked her for a business card and she said no, kicked me out, and said that I was only going to say something negative about her. Her comment was that after I had pointed out that they were loud that she could see me talking to another guest. I thought that's what guests should be entitled to do- not the help who was hired to execute a flawless reception. On another note- I was speaking at a whisper so although she saw me talking to another person she could not claim that she heard me.
