I wrote a review here stating "They might be ok in a few years. The disorganization and lack of integrity is a deal breaker right now." I received an email stating that I need to expand upon that because it is too "generalized", so here's my ex...perience start to finish; I toured this venue in July after already touring a number of other venues. I received an information packet including a pricing breakdown, which I was told would be effective until January 1st. I enjoyed everything about the venue save for two things; Myself, my mother, and my fiancé all agreed that the owner, Cathy, left a bad taste in our mouths, and there were some landscaping issues that they assured us they were addressing. All the same, I was pretty sure I had found my wedding venue. I decided to wait and tour it one more time in the winter, to get a better feel of what the landscape would look like finished, and in the season our wedding would be in. When my fiancé and I went to a public event that they held mid-October, the landscaping issues had still not been addressed. I decided they had probably just run into some hiccups, and it would be beautiful by the time we got married. Then last week I received an email from their new office manager, with a price sheet attached. They DOUBLED their prices, completely restructured their packages, and said that rates would be going up again December 1st. I emailed the office manager stating my disappointment, and she emailed back saying they would honor the original price they gave me until December 1st. I respected that, but was still a little hesitant due to their apparent disorganization and irresoluteness, and the fact that I was originally told I had until January to make a decision. One month might not sound like a big deal, but it's mid-November now, and it is BARELY starting to look like Fall outside. We're having an outdoor winter wedding. It could look like a completely different place come December, and I want to know what my ceremony will look like. But that's a relatively small point. While I was mulling over whether or not to stick with this venue, the owner, Cathy called my personal number (which I'm still not sure how she got) about the aforementioned review I wrote. I told her I would be happy to discuss it with her, but I couldn't speak at that moment, and we would have to talk later. She became very rude and continued to try to push me into talking with her right then. After this I dreaded talking to her, but I called her back the next day to honor my word. She hung up on me as soon as I gave my name. I run a business too. I know it's no fun to get negative reviews, but it is part of it. It's great to try to make things right when you can, but it is unprofessional and unacceptable to try to bully someone into revoking their opinion. The Big White Barn is a neat venue, but the owners are clearly inexperienced and unprofessional. I am so grateful this all happened before I put down my deposit. I will definitely be looking elsewhere, and would fair warn anyone considering this venue to be very very leery.
