My sister was able to easily communicate with them before the wedding about any changes that had come up. The day of the wedding the wait staff was so professional and made sure all the special diet meals were passed out. The bartenders were absolutely fabulous. They obliged to make the drinks from the specialty menu we had created and made them taste perfect. The bartenders had great personalities and kept everyone happy. I am forever grateful to every staff member who made the day perfect. Such a beautiful venue and everything was so nice and clean. The house that we got ready in was stunning and had plenty of room for all the bridal party to get ready.

A TON of them have complaints about management and communication... Despite that we decided to take a look at them... made an app of online to come view on a weekend in one of their scheduled time slots, had a confirmation email, and made our hour and 15 min drive to this remote location only to have NO ONE show up. And to top it off their phone number on the front of the resort on their sign isn't even their number.... Finally got a hold of someone through a different number from the confirmation email and they tried to say we never had an approval even though I'm looking at a confirmation email... no apologies, no "hey I'm sorry we can have someone there in 30 min", just straight up blame and attitude on the phone and no compassion for us having spent 2.5 hrs of our day driving to see NOTHING! We won't be back!!! On the bright side... at least this happened before we spent a single dollar with them and not three weeks out from wedding time like so many frustrations and reviews you see on wedding sights.... and now we're doing destination anyway!!!

This is a beautiful venue and the staff try to work with you, so appreciate that and I really wish…read moreI could give them more stars-- but there are some issues that prevent me from giving 5 stars and every bride needs to know these things before working with the venue. 1) They will do everything they can to make sure you do not get your damage deposit back. Make sure your planner and clean up team are aware to take videos and photos of their clean up and of the entire venue when they leave. They cannot rely on the staff person to "sign them out" or tell them "everything is okay". Clean up time is usually 1 hour and this is not enough time. I would even recommend bringing a dedicated clean up crew to start cleaning up things an hour before your event ends. But on the other hand, the deposit may be cheaper than the cost of getting the extra help. So just weigh your pros with your cons and decide accordingly. My cleaning crew ended up going over 1 hour to finish cleaning so the DO staff took photos of the venue at our contracted end time before the crew was finished and used those photos to claim they didn't clean. We're now having to send any photos we have to prove it was cleaned. So you need to make sure you have it documented when you finished cleaning and photos and videos as they will use this as a method to keep your deposit. 2) The venue gets very hot in the summer. The AC is not strong enough to handle it if you have a high guest count. It will feel as if the AC is broken. So choose a date outside of the months of June, July or August. Or invest in extra AC units. The venue will not accomodate for this issue nor will they alert customers about it. So I'm the one telling you -- if your event is in the summer with many guests, reschedule it. This has happened to other customers in the past, as well. 3) Have them show you video or test their rental items before the day. This would include things such as their fog machine, photo station, etc. Make sure the items perform to your liking. If they aren't you can rent from another company. 4) This venue is very picky. To me, I was fine with that, but after talking with many brides and planners, the restrictions required for use of this venue makes it extra work and extra headache to deal with. For some, it's not worth it. Also note they count your guest count not by how many are in the venue at one time but by how many people come and go total. I really love this venue. I think if I could do this over again, I still would have gone with them but would have made large adjustments had I known upfront these issues. If you love the look, there's no place locally like it that can fit a large guest count. For some, it may be better to just spend more in decor and use a hotel ballroom or event center instead.
