Reserve at Dancing Elk

Review Wedding date 11/12/23. The venue is very very beautiful and Chef Angela was cool and easy to work with for the most part. Took a minute for her to contact me back to get started on selecting our food choices. Had to reach out to her and Yvette a few times before I got a response to set up a date. The main reason for the 2 stars is the manager Yvette. She is just plain rude!!! Her communication skills are lacking. She completely forgot about our scheduled “final meeting” as she showed up an hour late. The only reason we waited was because she said she would take 25minutes at the most. Ended up being one hour before she made it to us. And then here come the excuses of why she forgot. Save it. We don’t need to hear that. Another thing was charging the cards for the balance. More lack of communication on her part. On 9/20/23 I emailed her to charge $2000 to the card on file. She replied and said okay. Then 10/15/23 I asked her to charge the remaining balance which I thought was just over $2000, but instead on 10/17/23 she attempted to charge $4200 cause she had never charged the previous $2000 I told her to do back in September. She claimed that she “called” and told me but she didn’t. I like to do things through email and text as the proof is there. So that was a whole issue. Then comes the day of our wedding. I had requested a few things such as the heat being turned on, some more light in the bridal suite (very dark up there), and paper towels for the restroom up there. Every time we had a request for something she ALWAYS had a rude or snarky comment!! EVERY! TIME! She has zero professionalism and doesn’t know how to make guests happy! When one of my girls asked if the lights got any brighter she told them “she knew how dim the lights were before she signed the contract, she took a tour so she she should have known.” Even if that’s the case YOU DONT NEED TO SAY THAT! Just say “no I’m so sorry, they don’t unfortunately.” Easy and nice. She didn’t want to give us paper towels to dry our hands…she had more rude comments about that too. I could go on and on about her. If you have a wedding here make sure you have a really good wedding planner that can deal with all her BS! I didn’t and I regret that. And then another thing, yes we did forget to have cash day of for the security guards and officiant, but instead of asking us for that money at 10am when we got there (which would have given us plenty of time to get the money) she hunted us down while we were taking pictures outside with the wedding party just after the ceremony! Like seriously!! Poor timing lady. Luckily the security guard and officiant were very understanding and accepted cash app. The well water is soooo stinky! I’ve been around well water but the water at this place is really really bad!
