BEWARE DO NOT PATRONIZE WITH THIS BUSINESS…read more The Wilsonian Event Center and owner Gaynell Stallings is a complete disgrace to the Wilson community. I am highly disappointed that the city has allowed this person to treat the citizens of Wilson in such a poor manner and remain quite. My brother in law and I rented the space for a 50th birthday party. Leading up to the event, I made sure all lines of communication were clear with all vendor to ensure our party went smoothly. Upon arrival, the owner appeared under the influence and alcohol was smelled on her breath by multiple vendors. While setting up our event our decorator ran into an issue as there was only one working electrical outlet. Ms. Stallings was clearly aware of this (based on previous reviews) but failed to let us know during the booking process. Later in the evening she returned to the event clearly intoxicated. She walked around the event taking pictures/videos of our private event. Ms. Stallings was never given permission to post our pictures and/or use it for her personal advertisements. When I noticed she had too much to drink I asked our carters to provide her with food out of concern. After eating she left the event. Ms Stallings returned back to the building at 1:10 am and continued to be intoxicated. She was agitated and refused to complete the walk through per her contract. I asked her several times if the condition of the building met her standards but her focus was for us to vacate the building. She proceeded to turn the lights off and stated "it's time for everyone to go". I explained to her we were not leaving until all our belongings were retrieved and asked her to turn the lights back on. During the exchange, I expressed how disappointed I was and requested that we talk further on Monday regarding my brother in laws deposit for the building rental . I called her on Monday, 1/16/23 at 8:30 as arranged to follow up. She stated that she was going to deduct $50 dollars from the $500 deposit due to the floors not being mopped. This was untrue as we had hired a cleaning service to clean, which was completed prior to her arrival. At this point, it's obvious that she had an agenda to keep his money. We agreed on $450 as the return deposit. On Tuesday 1/17/23 I called back at 9:30 am to discuss the pick up time for the deposit. During that call she proceeded to tell me she was deducting more money off the deposit . She stated that someone went to mop the floors at the site unbeknownst to her and charged her $ 150. I find it hard to believe that she knew nothing about this arrangement. I had no other choice but to agree so that my brother in law would at least receive some of his deposit. We agreed for pick at 11:30 am. My sister arrived to Ms. Stallings home with law enforcement to secure our deposit and she refused. Unbeknownst to us, Ms. Stallings has a LONG history of STEALING deposits. According to other tenants, she tends to refuse the walk through so she can say things were not done per her check list. This has been a very exhausting and disheartening ordeal for my family and I. We have decided to pursue legal action at this time. It is my hope that our story will save you time and money. Her business practices are unacceptable. At one point Ms. Stallings had the audacity to bring up Black Lives Matter. WHY? Perhaps, because the majority of the attendees at the event are BLACK. As a strong black family in this community we don't need to pull the race card for this fight. The proof is evident and FACTS are FACTS. Ms. Stallings is operating a faulty business and this has been happening for years according to her past renters. Let me add, when we arrived the building was filthy. Trash on the floor. Bathroom floors dirty, the kitchen had roaches on the floor and there were still Christmas decorations at the site Our caters had to assist her with taking down the Christmas tree. We did not make a big deal out this because it was crunch time. Please note I have videos of everything. This matter could have been handled differently but Ms. Stallings forced my hand when she refused to return my brother in laws deposit. BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS!
