The Evermore

ntment I endured the day of my wedding by sharing my experience. I booked the Venue located in Edna TX, The Evermore in October 2018. I met with the owner Kim to sign the contract and also signed a contract for her Day of coordination, as well as her decoration package. We met in May of 2019 to discuss the details of the wedding decorations, layout and vision I had for the day of the wedding. It was that day that we discussed what items needed to be purchased. We even offered to buy decor but it was stated that she had those decorations and would also be ordering more items that went with the vision we had. The second and last meeting was in July to discuss further planning for the day of the wedding. I voiced my vision again and Kim wrote down what it was that we wanted for the wedding. Over and over I told her I had wanted more decorations than what she had currently been doing for other brides and she stated that she could make that happen. The day of the wedding the decor was not as planned and many items were missing from what we had discussed. When questioned where they were we were told the items did not come in time. Although she had been planning since May. Kim also provided all floral decor for the venue and church including bouquets, corsages and boutonnières. This was another amount of $4,770 in which I received flowers that were already half dead when they arrived to the church. The boutonnières were removed for photo purposes. When questioned about that we were told they are delicate flowers that’s why they died. I also purchased a charm with a photo of my deceased grandparents to be placed on my bouquet for when I walked down the isle. I was given the bouquet minutes before walking down the isle and my charm was left off. When asked about that Kim states to my mother that she’s human and makes mistakes. No I’m sorry or apology given. I know it meant nothing to her but it meant a lot to me. We had also had problems the weeks before with the venue stating that we needed to be out by 11 pm when the contract that we signed stated we had till 1am. She stated that they were no longer using that old contract and and that they were going by the new one. I explained to her that I had signed the old one and that was what should stand. I had booked vendors for that specific time frame and she said she would see if she could make it work. Despite everything that happened thus far the worst of it was meeting her unprofessional and rude husband that we had never spoken with throughout the course of planning. He was helping man their bar area and questioned everything that went on. Things that had been discussed with Kim but then we were told we were not allowed to do the night of such as our lantern exit. We eventually got to light them but after almost 30 minutes of arguing with him and proving to him that the lanterns were safe to light. Even though we had already received the ok from Kim. The venue itself is a beautiful venue but the management is a different story.If you choose to use this venue be prepared to have to fight for what you were promised in your contract. Be prepared to have to explain everything the night of your wedding to a rude man whom you never spoke to before. Everyone has their own experiences and this was mine with The evermore.
