Wow. Where to begin with this venue? I think the first thing I'd like to address is the venue being "AFFORDABLE." If you break it down, the general ceremony and reception area costs roughly $5700 for a weekend in peak season. On top of it, if y...ou want alcohol served at your wedding you have to in some manner come to a contract/term agreement with them for bar service. If you do the minimum service option like we did as a hosted bar (beer & wine) that will run you around $4500. Grand total= $10,200. Keep in mind, this literally doesn't include anything else (table cloths, catering, DJ, cutesy decorations, cake, photographer, florist, and so forth) and those expenses do add up. All in all I'd estimate we spent roughly $25,000 for an "affordable" wedding venue option. So I'd completely disagree with that statement, and if you do book with this venue, you'll understand why. In terms of the pre-selection of the venue process, one of the things you will be told is that they "work with a ton of vendors in the area" (hotels, caterers, florists, photographers, DJs, and so forth) but yet when you call them most of the responses that you hear are "Who? Where are you getting married? What's the name of the venue?" Translation--they don't really have established connections with many vendors in the area. I actually had to make a ton of phone calls to connect with Summit Cove Lodging, and other local hotels to get my own rates and setup my own wedding discounts for guests. Be warned. The next item I want to focus on is professionalism and customer service to be expected after booking/signing with this venue (and the bar contract of course). Make sure and read all of the fine print, and the day you go to tour, be sure to ask for the most up-to-date wedding information packet. One reason why, we were originally told we could have a "partially hosted" bar at our wedding (essentially agreeing to pay a set amount, and once surpassed, your bar would become a cash bar). When discussing the contract, we were then told that service isn't offered for weddings (and then Renee basically broke down for us that essentially after cocktail hour our bar would become a cash bar). Make sure if you do decide to go with this venue you read all of the fine print, get the most up-to-date information, and ask a lot of questions for clarification. Furthermore, on our scheduled walkthrough 2 weeks prior to our wedding (9/4), Renee double-booked Oktoberfest participation and completely no-showed on us (we also have e-mail information and phone calls supporting this). We waited for well over an hour before deciding to leave. This is just totally unacceptable behavior, and after a strongly worded e-mail they decided to offer us an additional hour of setup time at no extra charge due to the 'No Show.' You're not going with this venue for customer service, you're going with this venue for the ceremony/reception area. My wife and I fell in love with this place, the staff don't really care about your day. To elaborate, they will try to nickel and dime you for every expense related to your wedding day, after you've signed the contract, you're no longer clients you're just simply a paycheck filled with logistics and a nuisance to their day-to-day operations. The venue/reception area is beautiful, and like us you'll have a beautiful day if you ignore the people running and maintaining Warren Station, read the fine print, do your research, decide if it's worth it, that's our advice.
