    As the mother of the bride, I wanted to wait before writing this review so I could gather my…read morethoughts and speak only about what I personally experienced. I had hoped to simply remember my daughter's wedding with joy, but unfortunately there were too many things that I witnessed that deserve to be shared. I was actually the one who encouraged my daughter to choose Posh Events. As a Black-owned business, I truly believe in supporting businesses within our community whenever possible. I was proud to recommend them, which makes writing this review especially difficult. One thing that disappointed me before the wedding even began was that our rehearsal was held on Tuesday while the wedding wasn't until Friday. I understand another wedding was scheduled on Thursday, but it would have made much more sense for our rehearsal to be held closer to our wedding day so everything would have been fresh in everyone's minds. My daughter spent countless hours creating a seating chart and even sent it to Posh Events to confirm everything was correct. That seating chart was never followed, and afterward she was blamed for there being "one too many tables." From my perspective, if there was confusion between the venue and the day-of coordinator, that should never have become the bride's responsibility. One of the most upsetting moments for me was seeing my son-in-law, who is sober, served champagne after staff had been been told multiple times that he does not drink alcohol. That request should have been respected without question. As dinner began, several guests came to me asking why they couldn't get drinks. I also noticed that the water glasses on the tables were never filled, leaving guests without water during their meal. Later, we learned they had run out of beer for guests who wanted it. The wedding party's meals had already been plated for quite some time before they were finally able to eat, and by then their food was cold. While talking with guests in the designated smoking area, I personally witnessed staff carrying take-out containers of food to their vehicles while our reception was still taking place. Seeing that while our guests were still being served and enjoying the celebration was disappointing. I also watched staff begin removing plates and napkins before many guests had finished eating. As the evening continued, garbage cans were brought into the reception area and cleanup had already started while guests were still dancing and others were enjoying the beautiful desserts that had been lovingly prepared by friends of the bride. When I asked why cleanup had begun so early, I was told they needed to get ready for another wedding the following day. While I understand venues have busy schedules, our reception was still in progress, and it left many of us feeling as though our celebration was being rushed so preparations could begin for the next event. I also witnessed the confrontation between Char and the bride. Watching a disagreement escalate on what should have been one of the happiest days of my daughter's life was heartbreaking. Situations like that should be handled calmly, professionally, and away from the bride whenever possible. Because everything moved so quickly at the end of the evening, we were rushed out of the bridal suite and the venue. We weren't given the opportunity to properly pack our belongings, change out of our formal clothes, or retrieve what remained of the desserts that had been generously made by my daughter's friends. It felt as though, once the reception ended, our family's celebration no longer mattered. I was also disappointed to read the owner's public responses afterward. Rather than simply acknowledging concerns, comments were made referencing "Black folks." As someone who intentionally chose to support a Black-owned business, I found those remarks disappointing and unnecessary. Professional businesses can disagree with a customer's experience without resorting to comments that reference race. Finally, I want to address the statements suggesting our guests were intoxicated or that someone was going to "jump" members of the staff. I was present throughout the wedding and reception, and that is simply not what I witnessed. No one was so intoxicated that they were unaware of what was happening. Those statements do not reflect the event that I experienced and only distracted from the legitimate concerns our family had. I do want to recognize LaCiana. Throughout the day, she treated our family with kindness and respect. She remained professional in every interaction I had with her, and I truly appreciated the way she communicated with us during a very stressful day. I believe it's important to acknowledge the people who do their jobs well, and I sincerely thank her for the care she showed our family. This review isn't written out of anger or resentment. It's written from the heart of a mother who watched her daughter spend months planning one of the most important da
