Graham Banquet Center

groom rooms were also included, as well as tables, chairs, and most linens. Set up and tear down are also included. A beautiful venue and a lot for that price! Especially compared to other venues we priced out! Everyone thought it was beautiful! Heather is also great to work with!! Would highly recommend!

nd light fixtures are also a nice touch. That said, the pre-wedding meetings left some things to be desired. Communication was spotty until very close to the event, and neither of the tours left us feeling warm and fuzzy. Overall, a good option for your wedding.

sion for this crystal ballroom. After visiting a few other venues we knew GBC was for us. We asked Heather if she had a Friday discount. She didn’t but she had a pay in full discount. We made arrangements to meet with her to sign the contact & pay in full the amount Heather wrote down on the contract. We wrote her a check right there which was cashed the following week. During those 18 months Heather had friended me on FB, tagged me in posts that made her think of me. I loved that. She was great at communicating & always answered all of my questions. As our day got closer I took a friend to go see the venue & get the layout of tables. I brought the contract with me to ask about the amenities that came with the venue. One was a dance floor that was listed. She didn’t have a dance floor. She said it was a “typo.” It’s on the contract & I showed her. She reached out & crossed it off my already signed contract with her pen. The contract also stated that she supplies plates, silverware etc. She verbalized that it was wrong & our caterer would have to supply it. Our caterer disagreed. That put us in a spot that we didn’t want to be in, so Heather made our caterer supply it which made us feel bad as it was in her contract. When we were visiting her venue there was a possum outside the door. She said it was “retarded” & was going to have someone “shoot it” which was very upsetting to me. It was very unprofessional to say that in front of a client in my opinion, especially after I voiced it just needed to be shooed away. Two weeks before our wedding was when our guest count was due. I was messenging her on messenger (as was how we communicated) the guest count. She told me she would be emailing me an invoice. I asked for what? She said “oh I forgot to charge you taxes.” After 18 mos? I sent her a picture of the check copy, signed contract with the amount she wrote & reminded her she cashed the check & never said there was an issue with the amount. She immediately said she was going to put in our file that “we refused to pay our taxes.” She instantly shut down communication & unfriended me on FB. I tried to shake it off, but her not answering my questions that were coming up made me extremely upset & afraid that she wouldn’t let us in for the rehearsal or wedding. I was sick. She eventually emailed me & said that was the only way she wanted to communicate. All of her answers were short. On the rehearsal & wedding day the doors were opened but we were never greeted by anyone. No one came to ask if we needed anything. No contact at all. Her contract said they could fit 400 guests. We had 175 & it was so tight that there was hardly room to walk. She only had 117 parking spots. We never saw her until late in the evening at the reception. She was dragging a trash can around our guests & made a lot of people feel like we had to be done. We had the venue until 1am & felt pressured to hurry up & get out. We were out by 11pm. We went home feeling very sad that we went with her venue. I do not recommend GBC. Heather is rude & unprofessional. She had many negative reviews at that point. She now has a new website with prices at least half of what we paid & wiped out the negative reviews. Brides please be aware.

ests. There are multiple outdoor ceremony sites to choose from on the property, a reception hall, and the cutest chapel you will ever see. We had our ceremony in the chapel and it was gorgeous! We are so happy with how our day turned out, and highly recommend this venue!

utiful venue. The major renovations are now complete, even though ongoing work is still happening, Heather made sure everything looked beautiful and clean for our wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue. It is charming, elegant, and is very accommodating and functional. We were able to bring in our own catering, alcohol, DJ, and decorations, which allowed us to truly make our special day our own. The on-site bridal and groom suite make for easy and convenient getting ready on the day of which reduces the stress of transportation and time crunches. The venue is in a beautiful country setting, so even the drive in is gorgeous and would allow for amazing off site photos close by, if you needed more options than you would find at the venue itself, although even with a rainy wedding day, we found many many photo opportunities due to all the gorgeous props and the beautiful venue itself. I truly cannot say enough good things about Graham Banquet Center and from what I hear, it's only going to get better!
