Southern Grace 1916

es. Gorgeous Chapel. Helpful in-person meetings (make sure you have a list of questions ahead of time and get those answered during this time)|Not so positives: We got married at the end of October but the barn was so hot guests started leaving early and we had to cut the night an hour short. They only have a large fan to cool the barn. This may be an easy fix if you're getting married during a colder month or the venue installs a proper cooling system. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable| Communication is subpar. Getting an answer to a simple question sometimes took weeks. Other times just a few days. There wasn't consistency | The night of our rehearsal we were running behind so I texted and emailed their team but never got a response. Not even an "okay, no worries see you soon." When we arrived the coordinator was there but she didn't even know our line up and seemed confused |I have seen my friends' coordinators usually send a sweet message in the morning and make an appearance early on to welcome the bride & girls on the wedding day. Didn't happen. My first contact was to request tissue paper since there wasn't any in the bathrooms and ask where the mirrors we were promised so that our girls can get ready. We were also told there would be food and drinks for us when we arrived but it wasn't delivered til much later|Somehow none of the guys including my husband had boutonnières which wasn't a big deal but we paid for it so I'm still not sure why our coordinator didn't make sure that was done. When it was time for my bouquet toss --the bouquet for this was nowhere to be found so the coordinator threw something together and wrapped it with a broken hair tie. This is something that should have been looked at beforehand. That wasn't that big of a deal but her attitude throughout the whole thing was disappointing. My friends and I caught her rolling her eyes throughout the night and you could tell she didn't want to be there (not what you want to see or feel on your wedding day). She had a very snobby attitude. Maybe we just happened to interact with her during a difficult time but if I could do it over again, she would not have been my pick to coordinate my day.|I packed all of our decorations/additional items with stickers on the back. Each sticker had a number that matched a printed sheet I handed our coordinator so that we could ensure all of our personal items were returned to us. We were missing several items and the sheet I created was not used. My husband and I had to go back to the venue to look for our stuff the day after our wedding. The worst part was that the coordinator would not answer our texts or phone calls. We are not from the area and had limited time there. Thankfully, one of the guys that works at the venue showed up because he noticed we were on the property and helped us find our items. Overall, I loved how this place looked & it's a day I will always cherish but I did not like how the team at Southern Grace handled the most important day of our lives.
