We booked our original date in 2019 for a 2020 wedding. When we booked the original event coordinator we worked with there was so helpful and communicated perfectly. We were happy ...
and excited about getting married there. We decided to postpone in June 2020 due to Covid. Jan 2021 I tried getting back in contact with the original event coordinator and couldnt reach her, she wasnt answering calls,
/texts/emails. It was a probably Mar when I finally got in contact with her and something seemed off. She wasn't at all helpful. Phone calls/messages/emails were still not responded to and if they were it was a very generic response. She didn't seem like she cared nor wanted to help! I had seen on a wedding group for the KC metro area that another bride getting married at Shoal Creek in Aug had to find a caterer due to them losing their chef and GM. Which I did not hear that from the them. When I messaged the event coordinator to ask how things were and to set up a tasting she didn't answer until the middle of May. We had set up a meeting to go to the venue to decide on a tasting and check up on things. That's when the coordinator told us that they didn't have a chef or a GM. But they were going to try and find one. Told us not to worry they had 2 or 3 chefs they were looking into and would be hiring one of them.. we did not hear back from her until June. When she told us that they were not getting a chef anytime soon and all the weddings through the end of the year would need to get their own caterer. She also told us Shoal Creek didn't have enough money to do everything that was in the contract. She did not seem like she wanted to be there, do her job or help in any way. We started to look for a caterer to serve almost 200 people. We found one. Everything was good. Jump to Aug and I get a phone call and an email from the new event coordinator stating that if we didn't put down more money our date was going to another bride. And that she couldn't find our deposit. She then informed that the original event coordinator was no longer working there. She finally found our deposit. She also was not good and answering phone calls or emails. We set up a meeting a few weeks later. She seemed confused like she didn't know what was going on or what to do. Everything we were told we would get and that was in our original contract she tried to go against. They tried charging a lot more money since we had to get a new caterer. They also tried charging us for stuff we were getting for free. Since we weren't getting food through the venue our price for the night went down and they told us we were going to have to pay per hour to be there. (That didn't happen). Come the day of the wedding the event coordinator wasn't even there (she had told us at the rehearsal she wasn't going to be there). When we arrived to the venue the wedding morning the golf staff were rude! We had to ask for a drink station in the room we were getting ready in.. During the wedding there was no staff at all. Besides the GM and Bar manager. The bar manager was as helpful as he could be but there were plenty of times the line to the bar was so long it was outside to the patio. The drinks were fine, no one complained. But there was no staff to help bus tables when needed. There was no staff to begin with to help throughout the night. It was a great wedding but what we went through with Shoal Creek I would never have another event there!
But it through all the crazy! It was a perfect night!
Venue is undergoing many staffing changes including new management. What was offered when we originally booked in 2019 (postponed in 2020) is no longer seeming to be offered which ...
ruffled some feathers. The understanding seemed to stem from being close to our day and already having everything in place rather than the stress and inconvenience we were put through when they lost the chef (forcing us to find a caterer for rehearsal and day of less than 2 months out) and other bumps that came up. Hopefully it's growing pains as they change because we were very excited about everything offered when we booked. Tammy, the coordinator is no longer there which left us without someone, with less than 2 weeks before. Luckily the new management was hands off during the event and the new chef, Chef Fola, and the bartenders were awesome. Not sure where new management will lead the venue in the future as far as weddings go, which is sad. Hoping for the best for them but want to let everyone know any previous reviews are vastly invalid now with all the changes of management and loss of key players. If it were not for Chef Fola and the staff, the new management would easily be 2 stars at most.
It was more than we could’ve hoped for for our wedding venue, the staff is extremely friendly and extremely helpful. They went out of their way on multiple occasions before the wed...
ding and during the wedding to help us, we cannot recommend this venue enough!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue!! We just got married on 9/28/19 and the staff at Shoal Creek really made our wedding perfect!! Tammy answered my gazillion ques...
tions throughout the planning process and was extremely responsive no matter how big or small the ask was. She helped us create a magical day and was so flexible working with us and even hosted a few impromptu drop ins as we were in our last couple of weeks and finalizing things. She always had a smile on her face and was so easy to work with. We also did our rehearsal dinner at the venue the night before. We met Sarah throughout the planning process as well and she was also a rockstar! The rain canceled our outdoor ceremony so the ballroom had to be flipped during our cocktail hour and she and her team flipped the room in 27 minutes and completely transformed the ballroom into our beautiful reception. The staff was so helpful and efficient. Anything we needed, they took care of and if there were any issues, we never knew about them! The GM even had someone run out and get some Coca-Cola for me as they are a Pepsi location and I am a Coca-Cola snob, lol! Really, Shoal Creek was the perfect venue for us and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering them for your event.
What a day it was! But it wouldn't have been made possible without Tammy, Brett, the chef, the bartenders, etc. All individuals involved played such a key role in making our drea...
m day come true. People went above and beyond when it came to the initial meetings, the set-up, the day of, and the tear down. Guests raved about the appetizer bar, ,the set-up of the room for a wedding and reception all in one, and the variations in rooms to move about to. You won't be disappointed in going with Shoal Creek!
I just want to start out by saying Tammy is the best, she is a life saver and my reception would not have been the same without her. She did an incredible job and even ended up ha...
ving to do a lot of the decorating because of timing issues that we had with our dinner and other things. She really came through for us and we can't thank her enough. The food was incredible, the wait staff/bartender(s) were awesome. Almost everyone was GREAT! That being said, the man who was in charge of lending us the golf carts was incredibly rude and horrible to us, from the moment we came outside. Even after we told him that Tammy had said we could use the golf course for photos he told us that since we have paid for a round of golf then we aren't covered to be on the course when golfers are present, I'm sorry but we spent THOUSANDS of dollars on that venue and to be told that we hadn't spent enough to be on the golf course was insulting and ridiculous. It was 8 o'clock at night and people were finishing up on the back nine, there was no reason whatsoever that we couldn't have used one of the first nine holes for our pictures. The golf course photos were something that we were really looking forward to and he ruined it. I still want to give 5 stars because I do not believe Tammy and her staff should receive a lower rating because of one man's incompetence, but this was something that really upset the groom and I and I wanted to make sure to include it.
Everyone was great!
