While this venue appears to be gorgeous, LGBTQ couples BEWARE. After noticing several religious…read moreitems in their pictures, I emailed to ask if they were open to working with queer couples and got the following in response: "This venue is located at our Christian home. We personally have gay friends but we believe their behavior is a sin. I am a sinner and I believe we should love the sinner and hate the sin. The current law allows gay couples to marry. I think gay couples should respect the beliefs of others just as they want to be respected. " Clearly, they don't want to come right out and say we are not welcome, but they made it clear. Nowhere in my initial email was I disrespectful to them, so I'm not sure whey they felt the need to point out that we needed to respect their beliefs. A simple, "We can not accommodate your request at this time," would have been fine. We were not asking them to officiate our wedding. We were asking them if they would do their jobs as business owners, take our money, host our event, and keep their personal opinions to themselves. How their religious beliefs impact their business I don't really understand. It is really too bad, because as I mentioned, this venue looks absolutely gorgeous. However after the rude and frankly condescending email back, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest those who support marriage equality do not support this highly unprofessional business.

The school itself seems safe and it is small so your kids get a lot of attention…read more it's not a school for minorities. I was told by the teacher not to expect the kids to attend my child's birthday party and conversely she was never invited to one. I was not added to group communications. We know that these attitudes tend to be fostered by the their environment which is created by those in charge. It does seem that the woman in charge would share in this sentiment. As an example, the 'principal' took it upon herself to greet me at the door to say that my child could not bring her Yeti lunch bag. Apparently, in the course of running the school, my child's snackpack bothered her. As a religious institution, I don't THINK they get any government funding, because of course, the government can't fund any institutions that advocate discrimination based on suspect classes. As a religious organization, it does have a 501(c)(3) status, however and that is granted by the governmeny so that's something to think about, however.

My experience with this business began with ordering a nativity set for Christmas made of olive…read morewood from Bethlehem (like everything else they make). Their latest order of olive wood from Bethlehem was delayed however, so our order was delayed as well. They notified us immediately via email of the hold up and apologized and said that they would try their best to get it to us before Christmas. Then, as if there was no delay, we received our package a full week before Christmas; but get this: The shipping price on the box was DOUBLE what we actually paid for it. Meaning that Holy Land Treasures paid for expidited (probably over-night) shipping at no cost to us!!! As if that weren't enough, they also included a beautiful cross with Bethlehem soil in the base as a way to apologize for the delay!!! WOW. Please support great businesses like this one.
