As a professional event decorator who has worked at many venues throughout the area, I can honestly say this was one of the most difficult venues I've worked with.
Communication was extremely unprofessional from the start. The person handling arrangements represented herself as the owner, only for us to later learn she was actually the owner's mother. This created confusion and miscommunication regarding event details and access times.
The biggest issue was that the agreed-upon setup and event schedule changed once we arrived. As vendors, we plan our timelines carefully, and changing access times at the last minute creates unnecessary stress for both decorators and clients. To make matters worse, the venue appeared to have booked another event too close to our client's event, resulting in pressure to clear out before the scheduled event time had ended.
The venue was also not properly prepared for guests or vendors. Upon arrival, the floors were wet, delaying setup. Tables were dirty and required cleaning before use. The restrooms lacked basic necessities, including soap, toilet paper, and paper towels.
As event professionals, we want our clients to have a smooth and memorable experience. Unfortunately, the condition of the venue and the lack of organization made that very difficult. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this venue to get all agreements in writing, confirm access times repeatedly, and thoroughly document the condition of the facility before and after their event.
Based on my experience as a decorator, I would not recommend this venue. read more
