GREAT food, FABULOUS venue, but Unacceptable communication…read more My husband and I chose the venue for the ease that they marketed- we wouldn't have to deal with the worry of planning, knowing things would be done right, with less worry and involvement. Unfortunately, that was not how things panned out. Firstly : Communication with us on the front end was a trial - I could not get them to respond, even though I used several mediums - Phone call, emails, even text messages. There was no onboarding process to let me know what was happening nor any expectations. There was no general time line for us to follow, this coupled with radio silence at every turn made our experience with Mad Dash horrendous. Secondly, execution on the few things we were told was lacking - we were notified that we would get the day of timeline a month out, and it was given less than a week out. Thirdly: With the florals, there were some flowers that were "rented" to us that looked like they were over a week old with smelly, yellow/green water, and dried up greenery/shriveled flowers. What was great? The DJ, the food, everything was great. The décor (minus some flowers) was lovely and nicely done - adored the venue itself, the color choices, and adherence to the basic general plan we outlined was well done. It rained, and they were able to implement the change to the plans quickly and with little hiccups. The last grievance, and probably the most impactful, was the coordinator, who I got several questions about her scowling at our guests during dancing. Highly recommend Mim's House as a venue, DON'T use Mad Dash unless they change who does the coordination (currently done by Priscilla). Priscilla was a bit of a bully throughout the day, the linens were not the ones we had wanted, but were "her favorites". We also requested yellow flowers in the bridal bouquet, but not a drop of yellow could be found. She was overall a negative presence from the moment we walked through the doors. I had RAVE reviews of the ceremony, however, continuing in the theme with the communication issues I followed up with the officiant twice and there was no reply after his first email and I was not able to review the ceremony until the day of, and even with that, he miss-introduced us. Which, as a newly married couple, was not the best foot forward we imagined.

Myesha handled every single part of our wedding day to perfection. That included buy is not limited to, working with caterers, dj, venue staff, pastor, wedding party etc.. To coordinating the busing of the wedding guests to and from the facility, picking up and delivering the cake, coordinating with the photographers and so on . You name it she was a part of it. She took care of everything that my wife and I needed as well as the things we never knew we needed. I would recommend her for anyone who is getting married or having an event and needs someone to coordinate things. She is so nice, so easy to work with, and all of our vendors could not stop talking about her. When anyone asked me anything on my wedding day, I said "ask Myesha" and she took care of it. Myesha even packed all of our stuff up that we brought to the venue that we may have forgotten, even the rest of our wedding cake. COME ON NOW!! I can't even put into words how much of a blessing she is. Take it from me. You Need HER!!

We met with two people from All Events to discuss the plan/songs/etc. for our wedding, and they were awesome. But even more awesome was the day of our wedding.

They were responsive to everything during the event, from switching/cutting songs to turning on fans for us. Also, they did a FANTASTIC job with the music! Our table-calling involved calling up tables to sing karaoke, and they handled this well. The dancing music during the reception was excellent, with great transitions and selections. Overall, these guys handled everything perfectly, professionally, and extremely friendly and cool. I would strongly recommend them for your wedding.
