My daughter was married at this venue on January 21, 2023. Although the venue is nice, the wedding planner (Terri) was the rudest, most unprofessional, hateful person to be planning a persons “special” day. She was not only this way to the br...ide, but the bridal party, parents and guests. Terri even felt it was her place to tell guests she didn’t feel their attire was “wedding” appropriate. Terri refused heat in the venue during the ceremony because it was “bad for the photos” - so we had to have a serious discussion about that.
Terri’s most unfavorable action though, was when she decided to take a phone call, during the wedding vows and carry on a conversation - where EVERYONE could hear her talking! But Terri made sure to tell everyone to turn their phones off - but Terri was exempt from her rules, rude and belligerent! When a guest said something to her about her rude phone conversation during the wedding ceremony- Terri laughed in her face! When another guest told Terri to “shush” during her rude phone conversation during the wedding, Terri gave that guest the index finger. Terri thought it was alright to “help herself” to dinner on the night of the Rehearsal Dinner AND the night of the Wedding. So glad there was enough food because she definitely was NOT invited either night! Both nights we paid to have the venue until 11:00, but Terri started asking us around 7:00 each night when we were going to leave. Talk about “kicking us out the door”. Oh, and that bottle of champagne for the bride and bridesmaids that Terri was going to give them the day of the wedding - the one that was coming in a minute - they are still waiting for it Terri!
I will say, the wedding was awesome, the bride was absolutely stunning, groom was handsome, wedding party was gorgeous - it was all put together perfectly by the bride & party. The photographers were absolutely the best with amazing personalities, the band was to perfection (U.S. Band), and the meal (La Paz) delicious.
I would never recommend this venue to anyone nor would I ever go back! I wouldn’t pay 50 cents for hatred let alone thousands on a special day for a grumpy middle age women to feel she’s Hitler over my daughters wedding.
Terri, you definitely need an attitude adjustment for the “special day” atmosphere. And woman, if you’re going to be Hitler and make the rules, have the common courtesy to stay off your phone during the ceremony.
Also Terri, I’ve read how Red Gate replies to defend your atrocious behavior. Heads up Red Gate, there is NO defending the belligerent rudeness of Terri answering a phone call during the ceremony AND talking on the phone during the ceremony! A business is only as good as its employees and right now, you have a huge problem!
