The Double JJ resort was the perfect venue for my wedding. We held our wedding and reception at the Back Forty barn lawn and dance hall. From our first visit and all the way through the planning process the venue coordinator Brandy was nothing but wonderful. Every question was responded to quickly, every alteration to a package or add on was given careful consideration, and she always made me feel like we were a top priority. Our day went seamlessly and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. We had many people stay in the thoroughbred suites and some stay in cabins and they were all pleased with the accommodations as well.
Dealing with the Double JJ was hands down the most stressful aspect of our wedding planning. The sales staff is not the most responsive. It took quite a bit of work to even get in to look at the venue in the first place, which should have been a sign. We booked the venue Nov 2016 and by the time we met with the staff again in Aug 2017 to finalize wedding details many things had changed, along with the pricing. By the time we finished our meeting/tasting we were beyond frustrated. There also seems to be a lack of communication between all departments. Every question asked is answered with “I’ll have to ask.” The front desk told my guests numerous times the room block didn’t exist, was closed, etc..even though the wedding was 6 months out still. We had trouble even booking our own accommodations! When it came down to the day before the wedding we were setting up and the burlap runners were dirty, tables were extremely worn and some sagged. The bartender was trying to take one of our guests to an atm to tip him cash because he didn’t want the tip on the credit card...we had a cigar bar and the cigars and humidor went missing while the staff was breaking the room down..just not professional. We liked the vibe of the place and at the end of the day we were happy, but if you arn’t a super laid back bride, beware!
Ticks in the rooms be very careful found two on my toddler sad pay that much and not safe for kids only went from room to water park and back the first one I found crawling up the wall thought it was a ugly spider till I hit it like 10 times and it wouldn't die burned it with my lighter wish it had been the only one if u have little one and they complain of there head hurting check right away might not be a headache next house keepers don't clean the rooms while u are there for a week and half so have fun cleaning everything on ur vacation I'm not talking about the little condos or cabins the suites im talking about then we were going to stay one last weekend seeing i did not know about the 2 ticks on my toddler head yet but when called to add two more days was told i owed money well my parents they told that to and had them pay a few hundred dollars and was extremely rude made my mother want to leave right after that happened so my kids and i stayed our last night there by ourselfs my parents did not tell me about the reason for wanting to go home until after we were all back to there house do not get me wrong this place has some really nice people but then they have some who just make u never want to stay there again also I have no pets so my baby girl could not have gotten it from a family pet now the water park with two small toddlers calling me to look back and forth at them one of the young boy lifeguards I did catch helping keep a eye on my son so no complaints there the lifeguards were very great at helping keep a eye on them especially when they are so excitable so I would go back to the water park just don't feel comfortable bringing my elderly parents to stay after they were made so uncomfortable and the tick thing really isn't cool two weeks of amoxicillin so she didn't get an infection from them thank God we just got medical or that would have been a high hospital bill I would of sent to them to pay also get in writing cost of room for night cause we didn't owe I really think they took advantage of a elderly couple I've never had 3 people come to my room saying we owed money when we didn't the day before we check out also we did get a discount because it was somewhat dirty and the a.c. did not work for the first half of our stay they gave us a few fans to use didn't help much being on the 3rd floor and we all were extremely hot I can't sleep when I'm hot my kids were sweaty had to keep sticking them in the shower and tub to cool off water park was only open on the weekends when we stayed I would have posted this sooner but couldn't find the site to write reviews like I said water park was great house keeping horrible oh if u do catch the house keepers they will lie and say they are cleaning ur suit but never do they will give u towels soap but no clean sheets I would rather stay at the harrington inn and drive to the water park next time I loved the staff there and the house keepers the girls were awesome that cleaned the rooms thats why they got 10-20 dollars every few days because they did a great job and they made extra cookies for my kids late at night
HORRIBLE! THE DOUBLE BOOK, not just me and my fiancé but several people in Fremont, MI... It is truly a beautiful place, but not worth being told you're out a venue after booking.
The ceremony and reception was near/at the Dancehall in the Back Forty. Double JJ Ranch provided hay bales for our seats and was a great help. Double JJ Ranch is a WONDERFUL place for beautiful outdoor/rustic pictures!!
Had the most perfect setting for my outdoor wedding. The planning experience was extremely poor, thank goodness I had great friends and family to help.
Great people to work with, it was a little frustrating at first but in the end it was amazing.
Beautiful setting. Perfect for a rustic feel. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Only reason I gave it a 4 was instructions regarding serving the cake did not happen. But that was a minor detail of the overall experience. Help them help you by being detailed and organized in what you want.
