Our son recently married his beautiful bride at this magical location and it was breathtakingly beautiful! From the wonderful accommodations for the bride and her bridesmaids (large home with complete access to kitchen/sitting areas and bedrooms to accommodate a large wedding party getting hair and makeup), to the open chapel and later to the reception courtyard and inside seating, it was one breath taking site to another! The 3 water fountains and large fire feature in the open courtyard were soothing and the bar and appetizer area was spacious. Dinner and dancing inside the reception dining area was temperature controlled, clean, tastefully painted, and there was plenty of space for the 120+ guests. *One recommendation might be to provide bathroom facilities for the groomsmen: perhaps an upscale porta-potty and maybe even an outdoor shower. The barn hangout was perfect for their gathering before the wedding festivities (complete with couches, pool table and refrigerator). **Another idea would be to provide some sort of seating for grandparents who were waiting to be escorted during the ceremony. It was challenging getting them to the chapel in a timely manner (they waited in their cars until just before the music started). All in all, I highly recommend this place as a consideration for your future wedding! read more

Though the venue is beautiful, the venue owner, Robin, was extremely difficult to work with from the start. As the bride, getting the venue booked with Robin was my greatest stressor, and she only caused more stress from there. I first was interested in Bella Sera because of how beautiful it looked on Instagram. I looked up the Google reviews, and they were mostly positive. The few negative ones I saw, I laughed at her "clap backs" and assumed that they were from the occasional unreasonable guest that the service industry sees now and then. I wish I had read Yelp reviews as well, or asked on Facebook groups, because now I know that Robin is completely unpredictable and you have no idea if you'll get the Robin who wants to make your day special, or the Robin who won't respond to your messages and raises her voice at your family. She was terrible at communicating promptly, and often had to be called or texted multiple times for an answer to one question. Vendors were waiting on the information I needed from her, but a quick response time from her was one week. I've attached message screenshots showing the reply gaps. I messaged Robin on April 14th, the day after I got engaged, to confirm that I wanted to book. Because of her delays in communication, she did not send the contract to me until June 2nd. For a month and a half, I texted and called and asked questions, and tried to get a contract, because I wasn't comfortable with being "pencilled in". We were allowed, by contract, two hours the day before to rehearse and set up the reception. Robin scheduled a tour for another bride during our rehearsal. She became agitated when we approached her and asked about venue decorations that she had offered us the use of months before. When we had questions about the set up and availability of the items, she snapped at my family and friends in front of the touring bride and said that we worried too much. While getting ready the morning of the wedding, the bridesmaids, mothers, and I were freezing. We had our hair and makeup done in our coats. I texted Robin and asked for her to turn the heat up, and she never answered me. There was a case over the thermostat. During the post ceremony photos, the photographers would arrange my dress and position a certain way, and Robin would come up and adjust it to her own wishes so she could take pictures on her phone. She also was obtrusive in photos of our dance. In a response to the review my mom posted, she said it was fine that she was in the way because "any professional photographer is highly capable to photoshop a staff member...." I had assumed that in the contract where she said that she would be allowed to photograph for her own advertising purposes, that she would be a background figure and not hamper my own photographers' work. We were on an especially tight schedule post-ceremony because of the sun setting and the photographers had to take extra time to undo the adjustments she unnecessarily made. Robin also responded to my mom's review accusing us of being late with making payments. In fact, she did not send us the final invoice until the night before the wedding, requiring me to pay it while getting ready the morning of my wedding day. I've attached a screenshot of the email sent on 11/10. This venue photographed very well, but the stress that it took to book it, the unavailability of the venue owner, and the shadow she cast over the celebrations were very unfortunate. If I had it to do over again, I would choose another venue where I felt valued and treated like someone who spent thousands of dollars to be there. read more

This venue is absolutely STUNNING and has so much to offer including use of their beautiful antique accents, gorgeous courtyard fire pits, fountains, and swings not to mention reception tables, chairs, catering (the food was wonderful!!), and bar service for the reception. This venue is a one stop shop to the wedding of your DREAMS and it sure was the wedding of ours. My husband and I have joked, now that our wedding day has come and gone, that we'd really love to attend a wedding at Bella Sera so we could really enjoy the courtyard! The venue owner, Robin, was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating (offers helpful design/decor suggestions/option, will adjust alcohol and food selections to WHATEVER you want etc). We can not thank Robin and the Bella Sera staff enough for making our wedding day magical! read more

Went to an Arabic wedding held here and the owner had an issue with the noise level of the music. Instead of calmly explaining the situation she is having with neighbors she threatened this kind family and almost ruined their wedding celebration. Seems she needs to hire PR to handle the business. She seems burnt out. Beautiful property though. read more

It is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I don't think you will be disappointed. The place is full of beautiful scenes for pictures & all the staff are so attentive & wonderful. The bartenders were spectacular and seemed to remember our fave drinks. The food was outstanding and I've had a lot of mediocre wedding food in my day . I had some of the best gumbo I've ever eaten among other dishes. The " snack" we had before the dinner was almost mistaken by me for the actual dinner since it was so large and substantial. It was a full self serve taco bar with everything imaginable in it. The bar had anything you could want pretty much from beer & wine to fancy cocktails. There was plenty of seating , no fighting over seating as I felt the need at certain receptions. Tons of food as I even went back for my favorite. The cake was lovely and delicious and the grooms special dessert was spot on. The photographer was always present and took pics of everything with plenty of individual photos also. I was shown the photographers list from my daughter & he seemed extremely organized with every detail in place. The bride & groom were happy and seemed very pleased and happy on their special day. All of the staff was so helpful & kind. I can't think of a thing that needed to be different. It was truly a beautiful and memorable wedding! read more

The owners attitude and lack of professionalism casted a shadow onto the wedding I attended. While the wedding decor was still being set up, we could all hear the owner and her daughter get into a screaming match in the basement, over some reason that isn't good enough to behave like that while a bride is preparing for her big day. The owner proceeds to come out of the basement and vent about her problem directly to the bride who has way bigger things to worry about than to be a family council for this lady. Later, at almost the very begging of the ceremony I stepped outside to get a glass of water, this is where I first heard the owner having an over reactive meltdown to the volume of the music. Rather than acting like a normal human and politely asking volume to be lowered, she began to threaten to call the police and repeated about how the "city council is on her ass"- a venue which is isolated from residential areas and I couldn't hear the music from the parking lot, let alone miles away. Police do arrive for a brief moment and after hearing the owners ridiculous complaints about her tenants, they proceed to leave unbothered further proving how unnecessary she was being over it. Once the police left shutting her down, she was riled up and had to vent again, this time to one of the brides family members who looked pale enough where she felt comfortable to go on a racist rant. This racist rant was recorded by the family member. The venue was agreed to be ours until midnight and the music was agreed to stop at 9pm weeks before the wedding; However, the night of the wedding we ended the music at 8:30 pm by our own choice and went outside to eat cake and hang out. At 9pm the owner comes to tables to turn the fire off and proceeded to kick people out claiming, "it's 9pm time to go". Even taking it as far as to shut off the lights while the film and music crew tried to gather their equipment. Lastly, the day after the wedding the groom and I had to go back to this disgusting venue to gather some decor that was being held hostage by the vile owner. Unfortunately someone else's wedding was being ruined at the same time we had to go get our decor. The owner again, tried to make this a way bigger deal than either me or the groom cared about- she was begging to have "witnesses" over the transaction of the decor and after the groom repeatedly said "I don't care I just need the decor", she pathetically begged "let me have this". As if that moment meant so much to her. The owner is low class and mannerless, it seems she was fortunate enough to get ahold of this property and decided to capitalize on it while not having any hosting skills at all. For how special the day is for her clients you would think some amount of joy and kindness would be the bare minimum while performing her job. Her behavior while looking at the venue completely contrasted by her attitude during the wedding is comical, I'm sure she never has returning customers because her business model is essentially a scam, she did not hold up to her end of the deal as a wedding venue host. read more

First visit for a wedding. The views are gorgeous. Great place to take pictures and thats it. I would not recommend having an event here. The food was just ok. The staff could not keep up with serving the patrons. The wait for the staff to replenish eaten food was long, and that's if they didn't run out. Two bartenders walked out and quit before the event even started. So, there was only one bar open attempting to serve a large crowd. Needless to say there was a long continuous line for mixed drinks. For food the served gumbo, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and some sort of roast beef/prime rib. The staff weren't really friendly as if I didn't feel warm and welcomed to be there. read more

I love weddings! Friday I attended the wedding of a beloved friend. As my husband and I drove through the entrance and over a charming bridge on the winding path to the venue, I was amazed that this picturesque area was only 45 minutes from my home. It rained all day. I look forward to seeing it again on a sunny day:). The grounds, open beam chapel draped with bunting, the dining hall, were all lovely. I am not a decorator, and right now I wish I were so I could explain how the venue was extravagant, romantic, and rustic at the same time. The food was delicious! I had penne pasta, shrimp, and pesto sauce with broccoli and a garden salad. My husband enjoyed his chicken and a soup with bread and olive oil and herb dipping sauce. The appetizer, water/tea/lemonade, and open bar stations seemed to flow well. Who doesn't love a chocolate fountain? Add a cheese fountain. And a Chicfila sauce fountain. Even with the rain coming down we never felt crowded. Plenty of indoor and outside porch areas to enjoy as we visited with friends. I love the balcony where the photographer took some group shots. And the central chandelier was so pretty. It was a lovely venue to celebrate an amazing couple's wedding day! read more

I will start by saying that, as someone who's in a related business, I'm fully aware that every business will get complaints, have issues, times when they need to enforce policies, etc.. but how a business approaches/ handles negative situations is what defines their character and integrity. I was the florist at a wedding at this venue. The family owns a funeral home, as well as the flower shop I manage. I say this to explain that this family is also in the business of hosting families for important & emotional occasions. Issues started immediately when we arrived at the venue the day of the rehearsal. An employee rudely confronted me coming out of the bathroom about my bosses dogs, which, I can understand if you don't want them there, but maybe find out some info about who they belong to before you approach someone with a demanding attitude. My first impressions just looking around the venue was that, while it is pretty from afar, and in pictures, when you really start looking at it up close, several things look tired and run down. Several areas could use refreshing. Also, do not believe it when they say they can accommodate 200 guests.. they cannot. Half of the guests had to stand outside the chapel for the ceremony and the reception area only had 120 chairs. Guests had to play musical chairs to sit down and eat. If you wanted something from the bar, and food, you spent 2/3 of the evening standing in a line. When we were ready to bring in our centerpieces for the reception area, the tables weren't set up yet. (The owner only allows them to be set up her way, btw) At 6pm, the owner suddenly turned out the lights! She never came over and nicely informed anyone that we would need to leave or anything, just started turning out the lights. When asked if we were supposed to leave, she sarcastically said that "she had already stayed an extra hour". She then said that we could come back at 8 am on Saturday to continue our setup. On Sat morning, the sweetheart table upstairs still had dirty dishes from the previous wedding on it! This was only one of several areas that hadn't been cleaned. We were told the cleaning crew was coming in at 12! How can we do setup at 8, with no cleaning until 12? At one point, I noticed some old rusty, broken lanterns on the ledge wall in the courtyard. I assumed someone had forgotten they sat them down, so I asked the mother of the bride where they were supposed to go? The owner overheard, said she wasn't planning to hang those back up, then she took them from me, put them back on the wall. A glass panel actually fell out of one onto the wall, and she said she "likes the aesthetic" of them there. That made one of us. My assistant was working in the chapel with the owner present when the owner started reading a bad review from The Knot out loud, telling her all the negative things they said, and asking her how she should respond. I've never seen someone act so unprofessionally in my life. A perfect example is how she responds to negative reviews, in a defensive, childish way. Referencing all the "brides she has booked". Future bookings simply mean you put on your fake happy/helpful attitude until they were committed. True testimony comes from those who've already had their events. There were plenty of other issues, too many for me to list, but a few of them were leftover cigarette butts in ashtrays from previous wedding when ours started. Her interference with what the MOB wanted to do for table set up. The food was late being served, which delayed everything else except the time to end the festivities. Workers came around with trash cans while people were still eating, including the owner herself who put her trash can right up to the edge of the table, next to a guests plate and scraped off ice someone had spilled while they were eating, but the trash fairies were nowhere to be found at clean up time. There were NO trash cans inside this reception hall. My overall conclusion with this venue is that the owner is in the wrong business. A wedding should be the happiest day in a young couples journey thus far. Any venue owner worth their salt should take a little time to find out a little bit about the couple and their familes..where are they from? What type of work do they do? What things do they feel are imperative to making their experience a good one, etc... Notes should be taken, and reviewed the week before their planned event, so that when the family arrives onsite, the owner is prepared for who they're working with.. They should also be flexible to whatever the bride's little heart desires, as far as decor/theme/choice of music/table setup/food, etc... and not rearrange things or make snide remarks about their choices. I will say that at the end of the day, the wedding turned out beautifully in spite of the owner, certainly not because of... and the bride & groom had no idea of the shit show that went on behind the scenes. read more

This place was an absolute NIGHTMARE!! I wouldn't recommend it to my biggest enemy. Their bar communication is TERRIBLE!! The owners daughter was in her underwear a tank top and no bra smoking her vape on the front porch when my vendors pulled up to start unloading at 9am. No where in my contract did it say someone physically lives in the "bridal suite" we were unaware that she was even there the whole time we were getting ready. She was locked away in a room somewhere, no one even offered to make sure we were okay or if we needed anything. I would have gotten dressed at my own home if I would have know the bridal suite I paid money for was someone's living quarters. The day of the rehearsal, the owner was more worried about her wedding that was the day after mine. She cut my rehearsal short because she had a dinner date with her husband that she was late for. In the contract it said to be out by 10, around 9:40 the owners daughter started throwing away my personal belongings and was throwing it on the front porch. Even threw away the letter my husband wrote me for our wedding day. I have a 4 month old baby and she was crying and upset because all the chaos going on and the daughter told me to "shut my baby up". I was an absolute wreck because of the way we were treated, and no bride should EVER have to feel like that on their wedding day. I was yelled at in front of my guest by the bar tenders and the cops were called by the owners daughter. I asked if they had ever been there before and they said they get called there ALL THE TIME for the same thing! I just want to make sure no bride ever has to go through this, this venue is known for how terrible the "staff" is and I hope every bride avoids this at ALL COSTS!!! read more

My best friend coordinated a wedding at this horrid venue, and called me in tears so many times throughout the day. And she is one of the toughest people I know! The owner is extremely rude. As family was setting up in the reception hall, she came in and began moving things around WITHOUT the brides approval. For the rehearsal, she did not have the benches out in the chapel, nor by the time the bridal party arrived on wedding day -- she said that her staff would handle it. Wedding morning, we asked her what time the staff would be here, she stated, "I'm not sure, I don't make the schedule." She advised that someone would be by at 12PM to put out the benches. By 12:17PM, that staff member still wasn't here yet. She asked the owner where he was, and she stated, "He's running late, and that's out of my control." She asked for the contact information for said person, and she stated, "You don't need it." After telling her that she need to visualize where the bridal party will be standing, she finally a pulled the benches out with attitude. Saying that she never put the benches out early, and that she need to arrange them how she liked so she need to get some men to help me do it. She walked back to the bridal house, called me and ranted, because she didn't want to risk an argument with her, and ruin the bride's day. About 15 minutes later, she goes to bride to tell her that everything is running smoothly -- extremely inappropriate and false. She comes outside and tells her that the guy is here, and he'll blow the leaves out of the chapel. She asked her where he is so I could introduce myself and ask a few things of him, and she told her that I didn't need to. The toilet in one of the bathrooms didn't flush, there are still portapodies at the men's house, and the wifi is still terrible. She does not communicate in any way. After the bride and grooms intro, the bride changed in a second outfit. While they were walking out of the bathroom, she pulled the coordinator aside stating that she needed to speak with the groom's mother because she hadn't gotten paid for the food. She was shocked, she said, "Excuse me?" She repeated herself, and then asked, "You can handle this for me." The bride said, "It's been discussed." While she was fixing plates for the bride and groom, the grooms mother was present at this point, there were some people that were asking about the white barbecue sauce. At this venue, you are forced to use their catering, but the groom LOVES his mama's sauce and we were very admit that we were going to serve it. As people were asking what's in it, she states, "Well the groom's mother made it because he just had to have it. I'm not sure it's as good as our sauce." As preparing for the send off, the team already discussed with everyone how to use sparklers, and how we were doing the send off. They started lighting and one of the male staff members comes snatching them from the guest, yelling, "They haven't even been told how to use them." But he wasn't in the reception hall when they had the discussion. I've heard the worst of the worst about this venue, and had the bride not have been a very personal friend of hers, she would've declined this wedding. But she wanted to be sure she had her day the way SHE wanted it. I can't say it enough -- RUN FROM THIS PLACE. The venue is beautiful, and a photographers DREAM, but not at all worth the drama. Put your hard earned money else where! read more

I will start by saying this place is ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL however, the owner and her son should not be running this kind of business. Everything was going fine until she told not only my child but 2 other children that if they continued to play in the yard she would put them in timeout. When I went out to ask her if she had said that to the children she said yes. I told her that it was inappropriate and that she should have found an adult to talk to. She then jumped up in my face and started telling me that it was in the contract that there would be no running or playing (Which is fine I understand that but like I said she should have found a parent or grownup to talk to instead of threatening mine or any other child) Her son came running up in between us (pretty sure he is on some kind of drugs by the way he acted) and was yelling at me to not talk to his momma like that. I turned to walk past them ( between them and a bush that was there) and my arm grazed her arm and she started hollering that I pushed her ( Believe me if this was not my brothers wedding right then and there a lot more than pushing would have happened) I was trying to walk away while she was still hollering at me and got in my face. I again told her that she would not talk to my child like that and I didn't care what her CONTRACT stated. Her son came running up again (because his mother was in my face) and started yelling at me and telling me that if I didn't like what his mother had to say to me then I could get the F*** off their property. My sister (whos son was also involved) when up to her after to apologize and talk to her and she was hostile with her as well. I was even told that after everything was done the wedding coordinator (who showed up to the wedding in her workout clothes) told my sister in law that is all started when my child ran into a server with a tray of food (the food was buffet style) and knocked her over. Not once was that mentioned to anyone at anytime until everyone was gone. I can tell you that this place gets booked because of how gorgeous it is not because they have wonderful customer service. Last thing their bartenders do not ID no matter how old you look I know 2 kids (15 and 16) that went to the bar and were handed beer on 2 different occasions. So if anything is a liability I feel like that is what they should worry about not 3 children running around in a grassy area. read more

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The water and trees surrounding the venue and the area for cocktail hour and then for dinner is very well lit with a fire to keep you warm in the colder months. Great catering and great service!! read more

This place is pretty for pictures, but that's about the only positive about it. If that's all you care about as a bride, by all means, book this overpriced venue. However, if you want you and your guests to be treated with respect, a clean place to get ready, and for your requests to be taken into consideration, I'd suggest you get far away from this place. Robin (owner or whatever) physically put her hands on a guest, cursed at the mother of the bride in front of all the guests for addressing her concerns about how dirty the place was and the things that were supposed to be fixed before the wedding day and we're not. Robin also took it upon herself to change things that were set up because "she didn't like it", yelled at the guests for lighting sparklers in the fire, and the list goes on. VERY stressful and not something I would spend thousands of dollars on. The pictures were nice, but definitely not worth the headache of this woman. So, my suggestion, go buy you a nice used car to take on your honeymoon with the money you could save by staying far, FAR away from this overpriced, dirty, smelly venue :) read more

First - Austin (bartender) was outstanding. Sandra (bartender) was also fantastic! Now, I would not have an event here if it were free. We attended a wedding reception with my 15 & 17 year old sons. They even asked who would run a business as this individual did! Most unprofessional person we have EVER witnessed. read more

I attended a wedding here awhile back and never thought of writing a review until I saw something posted on a local wedding Facebook page about this venue. Obviously the venue is breathtaking, but its views are NOT worth dealing the the absolute insanity and unprofessionalism that comes with it. If you like a owner that will curse you and your guests, including the mother of the bride, for asking a question or change their mind on what they will provide you after a contract is signed, then this place is most certainly for you. If you don't believe me, just go look at her responses to negative comments on here! Who would EVER speak to a client/visitor like that? Really sad that a venue with so much potential has this type of owner. read more

Beautiful venue but pool and fountains we nasty the bridal house was filthy the owner is the rudest person ever I have been in the food service a very long time and have never encountered anyone as rude as the owner Robin read more

The venue is beautiful but there are a lot of repairs needed. The owner lacks customer service skills and made rude comments to guest. She made the guest and wedding party feel they were not welcomed. The added stress and micromanagement that she feels the need to add is not worth ruining one of the most memorable days of your life. This was a wedding were alcohol was NOT served and guest were well mannered. read more

Rating of 1 simply because the property is very pretty. It is a site with great potential and nice bridal pictures. Other than that .......a zero. Robin and Gloria start with promising things and not delivering. They are so unprofessional and rude. Starting to decorate the reception hall and wouldn't even provide air conditioning. Don't use these lights, don't do this, we could have provided that...... honestly we were afraid to allow them to help us. We were told that the chef for the meal would be determined by the menu. Finding Robin, the owner, Gloria, her so called manager, Robin's son and a young man in the venue kitchen was no surprise. They continued to be rude all night. They were all around the wedding like little spy's. Dressed like they were ready to work in the lawn, it was very embarrassing, especially knowing that these were also our "chef". We had been told that we could come back on Sunday morning to clean the reception hall......at the end of the wedding, Robin decided that we should remove everything ....TONIGHT. So, in our beautiful wedding attire, in the heat, exhausted, with thunderstorms brewing ...we loaded the u-hall and every vehicle. Do not.....I repeat....do not use this venue. Choose your venue wisely and make darn sure it isn't Bella Sera in Loxley,AL read more

The place is pretty; however it is a small space. The food is average at best. The bartenders were great though! The biggest reason not to use this venue would be the owner. She turns on the charm for the sales pitch to persuade you to rent the place and commit, but she is not a pleasure to work with after that. She was rude and inappropriate to several guest! She is completely unprofessional to paying customers. No words to describe her behavior. She has no one to answer to, so she feels as if she can treat the guests how she pleases because it is her "property". With so many other beautiful places/venues in Mobile and Baldwin counties, I would definitely recommend using something else before I would ever consider using this place! read more

I am only giving a review of 1 star simply because the venue is very pretty, the courtyard is beautiful. However, I am going to give a lot of negative comments because I had a bad experience and want others to be aware. The venue was booked June of 2017 for a wedding on 10/20/18 and thought everything would be fine. However, the owners communications with us were horrible to say the least. I sent multiple emails, text and left a few voicemails in October 2017, it was January 2018 before she responded to any of them. Then as it got closer to the wedding date, we all had several questions and she said multiple times that "if you had a wedding planner you would know this" . However, we chose not to hire a wedding planner because the brides Mom and I (grooms Mom) had this under control. Even IF we had a wedding planner, they would have had the same questions re: the venue, menu, etc. The week of the wedding, we met with her, she was very hard to deal with, not to mention the fact that the morning of the wedding, she was rude to my son and I as we were just making sure the tablecloths were clean and the room was set up as we wanted. I will not give any more specific details, but to sum it up, the owner is EXTREMELY rude, has no communications skills, terrible personality and does not need to be in this line of work !! She overcharges on the alcohol. I understand she needs to make some money however, what they charge is absolutely absurd !! A person in this line of work should be very nice, and understand that planning a wedding is stressful enough, and should not speak to people in the manner she does. Also the owner or representative should respond within a few days to a text, phone call or email. read more

I will start my review by stating that I have never taken the time to give a review before but felt the need to do so this time. I attending a wedding and rehearsal at this venue this weekend and will give you some facts of what I observed first hand. The first thing was if you are having a rehearsal you should really have the gates open so each car doesn't need to enter a code. It is not like this location is in a high crime area it's in the boonies. While at the rehearsal (the woman and man whom I believe are the owners) were very rude on multiple occasions to various guests. As a wedding can be very stressful especially on the last few days, positive support from your venue representatives is the norm...smart mouth answers to questions and shutting the lights off when things are trying to get done are not in any stretch of the imagination appropriate. On the wedding day not only was the woman (owner) dressed in appropriately (workout gear) in my opinion up until after guests were arriving but she looked totally pissed the entire time. Again she continued with the same smart mouth comments as the previous evening. If they are that miserable, I believe they maybe in the wrong business. I could maybe see someone being upset in certain circumstances if the wedding guests or wedding party were rude and such but from what I observed there was nothing of the sort done inappropriately. Also, if you are having an event in the evening it would make sense to actually turn the lights on so you can see when leaving. There were also other negative things done but seeing I did not observe them with my own two eyes, I will not mention those. As I'm not sure if this review will remain on this page, I will also be posting it on other review sites to hopefully give others a heads up when making their decision on a venue. To leave on a positive note, the grounds are beautiful. EDITED: 9/22/17 - Just to show this owner's character, she has now deleted all comments/recommendations from her Facebook page. NOT surprising that she did this. read more

i would like to start off by saying the venue is absolutely beautiful. the owner has yet to produce a invoice for what we paid total . nor did she provide one for how much we paid for each bottle of wine or for the cases of beer. we made a deal that we could have our food catered outside of her and she said yes . then she brutally harassed our people while they attemted to set up asking any and everybody that was listening for her final payment. we went to pay a week or two before and she rudely ignored us and our coordinator . i called her the next morning and told her that we had concers she quickly turned her fakeness on and for my wife i decided to stay with her venue .(worst decision ever) she told guest that she was tired of picking up after them snatched plates off tables before guest had finished eating . she got aggressive with my 2 sister in laws told one other family member that we didnt pay her to clean tables which was true .we had people setup to clean up after the wedding. her staff told people they couldnt have another drink at the bar unless the left a tip . the area for the groom and groomsmen to use was dirty full of spider webs , doesnt have running water a sink or a tiolet .she has a porta potty set up outside. the fridge inside looked and smelled like death. she was asked days weeks and even a month before if her attitude was going to be up to par. she said yes she called repeatedly about final payment when we clearly was told to just pay that day . my wife couldnt get her paypal to work . she burst in the bathroom while my wife was in the tub saying her husband was getting upset with her because she had not givin him the money yet. i also told her manager that my family along with myself are allergic to ants . what did i see the same ant beds that they said would be handled . she has zero social skills her face tells you exactly what she thinks about you. we felt bad for her because other people said how terrible she is sad to say its true im in sales aswell she is definitely a crook. she then asked me after she was paid that we needed to settle up on the bar tab that i had already paid i actually paid $50.00 to much she said oh you overpaid dont worry about it and walked out . then she jumped on my facebook post talking about my personal business because i said that she was not a good host and yet again no invoice . read more

Hello I would not have been on this page unless we had to do sound at this venue for a wedding ceremony recently and all the reviews about this owner are factual from experience. You see we are a professional sound company out of a different state and we were hired to set up for a band for a wedding. We were there many hours way before time and this evil person appeared and a dark cloud came with her. With no regard for respect she began to rudely speak to my employees with a disdain not seen from an event host ever and we have been doing sound over 45 years. She knows she can do this because she is probably the only wedding venue for miles in a country town. The place is nice but if it were me to keep my Bride and Groom and Family happy I would spend the money to go into a different city venue to someone who welcomes business and treats people accordingly. Believe me she could possibly RUIN YOUR WEDDING DAY. This Lady who said to my employees, I am the owner is really a Mean Person. Again all reviews can't be saying the same thing and be wrong?? read more

I had my wedding here in September 2017. The venue is absolutely amazing, but the owner nearly ruined my wedding day. The owner was allowing us to do many things due to just beginning to book events such as bring our own food, set up the day before, and have our rehearsal there. Suddenly, the days leading up she became very rude, like she was doing us a favor after we spent several thousand to book just the venue. We arrived to start setting up for the wedding the day before. The place was still dirty, but we cleaned up the inside and set everything up. We left the outside alone thinking she would get it taken care of before the next day, which didn't happen. I (the groom) had to clean up the court yard area the day of my wedding. People were using the kitchen to move food over from the dishes we brought them in to the way they were going to displayed at the reception, that is when everything went out of control. She started cussing at people who were in the kitchen. She continued the argument even though the person she was arguing with was trying to leave. One of my groomsmen stepped in between them trying to get them to stop (no physical touch from him ever happened), she pushed him and started cussing at him. She went as far as to call him a dumb ******* redneck. She threatened to not allow us to have our wedding 2 hours before it was supposed to begin. She was rude to almost every single one of my guest, and was truly trying to ruin a good day. The only good thing about the place is it looks absolutely stunning, but that is it. read more
