The whole experience left a bad taste in our mouths. This venue looks nice for a party, but they…read moreare NOT equipped to hold a wedding. And just expect to pick something you like and colors the day you book, and she will set everything up to make your dream come true. If you want a hand in things or to get a pre-look at everything, don't do it here. They want to have free rein. The building is not wheelchair accessible. One of the bridesmaids was in a wheelchair and had to me lifted into the venue in her dress. There is no where to take pictures of the bridal party or families as it is in the middle of a block with a big parking lot in front of it. Severely overpriced. The kids booked the venue for their wedding in April 2024. They were sent a "Proposal Contract" but never an actual Contract. This concerned us from the start. So, they paid their 50% deposit and started working on other things. One huge thing that they should have been told was that it was Hampton University's homecoming, and the parade makes a U around the venue. Being a professional and knowing something that big happening should have been told to them. Their photographer and videographer barely made it before the ceremony started. They go no pre wedding photos. In the meantime, in August, I contacted Betty to get some referrals for catering, which she never sent to me. Even though she told our planner she did. As the days came closer and we were getting down to less than a week, my daughter was informed that it would take them about an hour to change the room over for the dinner settings. What do you do with 80 people when the majority of the space is being changed over. They suggested horderves. I spent another $600 unbudgeted money for extras. Had this been said in April we could have handled it a different way. Three days before the wedding I started looking at their social media accounts and noticed no cups or utensils in the settings. I called to ask. First, I was told that the caterer was taking care of it. My daughter had already told her it was a themed buffet and the caterers just deliver. She then changed it to they are having "unconventional" catering they would put out plastic items. So, three days before the wedding, I had to start rush ordering the food items needed. Another thing not budgeted. Again, why are they not paying attention or even writing down conversations. My daughter also asked for the dancing area to be in the center of the room. She was told they didn't really do it that way. She cried to me about it. I gave my concerns to our planner, and she called Betty, the conversation was far from professional. At one point our planner said "we can speak to each other civilly" she said she had told my daughter she would do the dance floor, which was a lie. She asked to see a setup of the tables then was hung up on . Within minutes, Betty was on the phone with my daughter's new husband about how they didn't trust her and she was not speaking to our planner. And that they saw the tables in April. This added so much stress they didn't need. Who remembers then?!? The next day they suddenly had a video "walk through" of the tables. The kids said she was just rude the whole time. But they didn't want to lose their $3500 deposit. I wish we had just lost it. She didn't hire a florist and put the bouquets together herself. My daughter had asked for a cascading bouquet, but it was round. And very fake looking. We are all really trying to figure out where the $7500 worth of things were. The kids did have a great day. Bur when you pay that amount of money for a venue, you expect much more professionalism and more for that amount of money.

I can't say enough good things about The Teeny Tiny Farm. They were on time, set up everything in a jiffy, explained how to interact with the animals, cleaned up after the animals so quickly that sometimes I didn't even notice if there'd been a dropping or mess. The pony rides were well executed and the guy was so considerate and friendly. He answered lots of questions about the animals and was patient with the kids. He made sure the birthday boy got plenty of time with the animals and another pony ride before he packed up to go. I was pleasantly surprised that this surpassed my expectations.

However, less than 20 minutes later, I received a text providing me with a price list and fees for services. I was not in need of chair and table rentals until 1/4/25, but I wanted to put in a reservation for the items needed well in advance. Every time I contacted Gkew Rentals, Mr. Askew responded immediately. On the day of the event, he was on time and waited patiently as I handled an issue with the venue for him to deliver the items needed. Once he and his very pleasant helper dropped off the chairs, he saw that I needed help bringing in items from my car. He offered to help bring in my items as well, which was above and beyond what he needed to do. Due to the delay of my event starting, I reached out to him to request if he could come one hour later to pick up the rentals. Again, he accommodated my needs without any hassle. I would recommend Gkew Party Rentals; they are exceptional and provide great customer service hands down. Janine M.

The bride's room where she gets ready is just a bathroom and the only seat is a toilet. They were unprepared to give instructions to the wedding party and waited Until the ceremony start time to arrange the wedding party. Once we were seated in the ceremony room, which was after the scheduled start time we waited an additional 15 minutes while they cycled through several songs that were not on the brides list of songs. They were not prepared for the requested songs. During the ceremony they moved the dressing partition next to the sand mixing which greatly distracted from the bride and groom. After the ceremony they refused pictures without masks and asked us to leave. The bride, groom, and pastor did not have to wear masks the entire time inside but everyone else did. We could not even drop the masks for pictures. We were there for one and a half hours and it cost $800 and all we got was some paper flyers, a sand glass container, a certificate, and constant reminders about masks. Do NOT recommend at all.
