I want to start of by thanking the entire staff at The View. We received so many compliments about our wedding and we, too, loved it so much. We really do appreciate everything The View did for us to make our wedding as amazing as it was.
Now..., as much as we did love our venue, planning a wedding is a BIG deal and there a few things that I wanted to give feedback on.
- Two of my appointments with The View were forgotten. During the second missed appointment, there was a gentleman standing outside waiting who, also, was told that someone would be at the building at the same time.
- I purchased insurance so that I could serve my own alcohol (it really is great that this an option!). I spoke to someone quite a few times about whether it was received or not and each time it was always a different answer - very frustrating.
- There were a few things during the reception that were not made clear to me:
1. I had quite a big wedding and I understand that the downstairs can only fit so many people, however, I was never informed that I would have tables upstairs during the reception. Again, I understand they wouldn't, but if I would have been informed this, I would have made my tables fit 10 people so that this wasn't an issue.
2. I had assigned tables with place cards and I specifically asked Annette how that would work. I was told that the place cards would be layed out in the front area for guests to pick up. When it came time for the reception, the place cards were layed out on the tables. All of my guests had to walk around 20 tables trying to find there names. Another instance of, if I would have been told it was done this way, I would have made a sign.
All in all I think The View is a great venue and the staff is fairly easy to work with. The only issues were communication and missed appointments.
