BUYER BEWARE!! Something has changed at this venue in 2022!
PLEASE, choose another venue! After reading the many positive reviews, visiting Grayhawk Golf Club in person and feeli...ng extremely comfortable with our contact, Lauren Watson, my daughter and her fiance decided to have their wedding there.
We were told many things before the contract was signed that Lauren ended up reneging on. Once we had the tasting, Lauren started getting very sassy.
Here are a few 'highlights' to give you the idea.
* Lauren told us that the golfers would be stopped during the ceremony. In reality, we have a golfer yelling "fore" for all to hear and golfers in the background throughout the entire ceremony!
* Lauren told us that they had the ability to have two weddings a day but that they would be at different times. In reality, there were three weddings and the music from one of the weddings drowned out our harpist and most importantly, the vows.
* The poor florist... one of the venue's staff members directed the florist to the wrong WEDDING. ALL of the floral arrangements were set up only to have to be taken down and re-set up in the proper location. This caused delays with the picture taking, where guests ended up seeing the bride before walking down the aisle.
*Oh, picture taking; we were told that we could take pictures anywhere on the golf course and that they would work with the photographer. . Lauren even showed us 'ideal' locations. In reality, the golf pro and his staff ran us off the course and yelled at us multiple times. Therefore, NO sunset pictures and many missed family pictures.
*We were told by Lauren that she would be there until the dinner was served. This did not happen. We were also told that she would handle day of items. We reconfirmed this when we signed the contract or I would have hired a day of coordinator. She assured us that it was not necessary.
* The one item that they did not fail on, was the food. It was absolutely delicious!!
It is understood that there are always hiccups when planning and executing events. Typically, no one notices these hiccups. Unfortunately, in this case, everyone noticed. This very special day has been ruined and cannot be done over.
So very sad to have the bride cry as the result of these mishaps.
All we wanted was what we were told would happen, nothing more, nothing less.
