Could be a lovely venue if it had better management. I should have known it was a sign to find another spot after the initial meeting when Kim Zakarin no showed. Then, a few days p...
rior to our event she advised that she would not be attending, but would have her assistant there who would be able to help us connect our computer to the AV equipment. Of course when we arrived, not only was the room not set up as we had asked, but her assistant knew nothing about how to connect to the AV system and Kim was not available by phone as also promised. Then the “required” security guard never showed up. Kim promised a refund for that service, but after several phone calls, countless emails, and promises of “your check is in the mail”, six months later I’ve still not received the refund and Kim won’t answer my phone calls or emails. Too bad as we hold the same banquet every year and Rosewood Hall’s location was perfect, but it’s on the “never again” list after this experience.
I would not recommend using this venue for a wedding or any other large event. We had a terrible time planning for our 350 guest wedding reception here.
Staff were unprofessional...
. There was a management change after we booked the space and we weren’t notified for months, meanwhile our calls & emails were going unanswered. They had inflexible hours (would only do meetings 10-2, as if we didn't have jobs), made rude comments about my in-laws, and generally treated us as if our business was an inconvenience to them. Then there were lots of strict rules (no food in the lobby, can’t prop doors, bar can set up inside the banquet hall not in the foyer where you’re supposed to have cocktail hour) that were only expressed to us a month before our event. They also misled us into thinking we could pay for extra hours to extend our event past the usual time, but later came back to say no party could go past 10pm on a Saturday night. We had to fight and pay extra fees just to get a reception until 11pm-a reasonable time for wedding to end.
As for the value of the space: It is not as good of a value as it looks when first assessing the package list. The price they quote does not take into account linens/napkins/additional tables/additional chairs (they only have 199)/chair covers (the chairs they can rent match the ones they have), or all the buy-out fees you have to pay if you chose to use an outside vendor to meet your needs. These prices and conditions were not clear when we booked the space. In fact, prices that were quoted to us were changed later and we were told the space could keep upping the price until we paid. Unfortunately, it was too close to our wedding date then for us to find another space or we gladly would have moved our event.
Again & again, Rosewood Hall’s management did not come through and continually found ways to absolve themselves of errors or issues they caused. Planning an event here was unnecessarily frustrating, time consuming and expensive.
We were dealing with a large guest list and were looking for some where in birmingham that had a large max capacity but didn't break the bank. Some estimates we got in Birmingham ...
