To begin with, THE OWNERS ARE LIERS AND PERVERTS. I saw the response the owners left after bad…read morereviews so I had to comment anywhere I can find to warn others of these creepy people. I would not be surprised if the owners had hidden cameras in the dressing rooms and bathrooms. ALL THE WOMAN SAID THE OWNERS "Creeped them all out".
This a beautiful place for a wedding, but don't let that fool you. The owners and management are horrible. They ruined my daughters wedding.
Where do I start?
1:It started with the owners wanting us to supply all the beer and wine and them sell it and keep ALL the money from owe purchase.
2: The owners and staff smoked the whole time we were there and the place smells of cigarette smoke, not to mention the "weed" smell from some of the staff.
3: Very, very rude staff and owners.
4: the owner kept hitting on the brides mother and made all the woman in the bridal party very nervous.
5: The temps dropped into the low 50's. The cocktails during the photos was in a large carnival tent with portable heaters. We turned them on, they turned them off. They said we would have to pay $150 per heater otherwise we just have to put up with the cold. The brides maids were freezing with bare shoulders and arms and the guest were so cold some had to leave.
6: the bridal cottage was extremely small, dirty and had trash in the trash can, a dirty toilet with only 1 roll of toilet paper. No water heater.
7: The bride had to walk across the grass to the gazebo about 40 yards, they didn't mow the grass as we were told they would, didn't rake up the leaves and the gazebo had spider web's everywhere and was also very dirty. Not even swept or leaf blowered to remove all the acorns, dirt, sticks and leaves away. With the brides long train it ruined a $2,500 dress.
8: The audio system was cheap and sounded horrible.
9: They had our $800 DJ on the 2nd floor overlooking the reception area. No one could request songs/music. We couldn't understand him when he talked due to their cheap audio system.
10: They told us they would clean up after the reception...nope, made us bus the tables while they stood and watched.
11: They make you park about 500 yards away in a grassy area causing the bride, bridesmaids and anyone else in high heels left to walk on a gravel road to the venue. They told us they would have a golf cart there to drive them up the hill to the venue...nope, you have to find someone and then they have to radio to find a worker to bring the cart, leaving these girls to stand and freeze in the cold temps.
12: Since we didn't bring the beer and wine for them to sell and keep all the money, they had their own to sell, a can of beer was $5, cheap wine was $7 for a 2 fingers glass depth.
13: In order to get into the main house, where they had the men's dressing room, we constantly had to find someone to let us in. They kept the doors locked.
14: The worst of it was when the bride and groom were about to leave, there was a note on the happily married couple that said no unauthorized alcohol could be on the property and Sid to contact the owner. The owner said they had to,pay them a $1,200 fine. It turned out one of the groomsmen put it in the bed of the truck where one of the workers told them to leave it. It was 1 six pack of beer, unopened.
15: When the groom told the owner he didn't bring any beer, the owner said it doesn't matter. The bride got understandably upset and the groom couldn't believe it.
16: They make everyone sign an injury waver before entering. They even told the small children they couldn't run and could only walk.
17: The whole place and grounds were disgustingly dirty.
18: They didn't have enough tables for the guest. The caterers had to put the food out on round tables. I guess we were lucky, they wanted the food set up in the kitchen and make all the guest walk through the nasty kitchen to get their plates.
19: when they would talk to anyone for any reason, it seamed they had cigarettes in the their had the entire time and was waving their cigarettes in the face of the guest like a pointer. Discussing!
I could go on and on and on, but if you use this California couples venue you will find out yourself leaving a bad review.. And you will be very sorry. Especially the bride having her wedding ruined by the cheap, stoned cigarette smokers.
We couldn't believe how rude, unprofessional and stoned the owners and staff was.
