What should have been a simple family meal turned into a stressful experience due to poor service…read moreand a complete lack of understanding around children and disability. We were a party of six and the largest table in an otherwise nearly empty restaurant. I was dining with my autistic son and politely requested his burger and fries at least three times so he could sit and settle. Despite this, his food took over 30 minutes and all meals came out separately. While waiting, I was actively supervising and redirecting my son in the empty restaurant. The owner approached me and stated that if I couldn't get him "under control," we would need to leave, repeatedly mentioning that she also has an autistic child--an irrelevant and dismissive comment. Autism is not one-size-fits-all. Once my son finally received his burger, he sat calmly and ate without issue, exactly as explained. Instead of enjoying time with family I hadn't seen in 20 years, the situation escalated unnecessarily. After the meal, the police were called to trespass me despite us already leaving. The officers were polite and professional. Food quality was also lacking (the fish was chewy). Children, including autistic children, belong in public spaces. My son didn't need entertainment or judgment--he needed his food. This restaurant failed in service, accessibility, and basic decency. I was not able to even get a picture with my family.....

It was all I could do to get them to the wedding. The venue person said I couldnt park there. I expained I wasn't parking but bringing my clients out. He said, "no matter, you have to take your car back to the parking lot until they are outside". So it took me several minutes to go back to the parking lot and walk back. I went into the venue and brought my clients out into the cold then went to get the car. Absolutely no compassion. The attendant was just a kid and seemed indifferent.

We wanted an upscale looking wedding at an affordable, all inclusive price and that's exactly what we've found here. Our friends RAVE about the venue. We'd choose to get married here 1000x over. What other venues include floral and dessert credits?! Linens you don't have to rent! Gorgeous centerpiece decor available for use at no extra cost! The list goes on and on. In particular, I want to call out Jess, who was our venue tour guide. Our experience with her is a big part of the reason we booked this venue. You know when a person just gives you a GOOD feeling? She made us feel at home, like it was just the RIGHT place for us. She's also proven to be incredibly efficient, a prompt and excellent communicator, and uncompromising on ensuring we're taken care of even though when we booked, it was a full 18 months before our wedding! She gave us the attention and care we'd only expect if our wedding was next month! Ps. Please note that the only negative reviews about this place were during COVID. It was the Wild West back then, and everyone was just doing their best. We have experienced an extremely transparent booking and contract process, with clear language around refunds or rescheduling.

I can't say enough great things about the Hearth House Venue in Monument, CO…read more I've attended several events at Hearth House, including weddings, receptions, and non-profit fundraisers, and can't believe the value each of the Hearth House clientele received for their money. Renting a facility for your event can be a costly endeavor. But, Hearth House provides a beautiful location, at a rate that won't break the bank, making your event more enjoyable knowing you won't have to skimp elsewhere to provide your guests an exceptional experience. Not only is the venue beautiful, but their staff is professional as well as friendly - a combination that can be hard to find these days. Not afraid to get their hands dirty, you'll find the staff able and willing to help from the moment you take a tour, to the day of your event. If you're a skeptic, like I am sometimes, don't take my word for it. Take a tour and you'll see everything I said above is absolutely true. The next time I plan an event, you can bet I'll be holding it at Hearth House.

We chose Wedgewood in January 2021 for our October 1, 2022, wedding with 100+ guests. Kayla was our amazing wedding coordinator and she made everything so simple for us. Every detail we asked for came with a "yes" answer. She had wonderful recommendations for us and she and the entire staff worked with all my ideas - no matter how "different" they were. In fact, we made a last-minute request for a late-night charcuterie board and the chef jumped in to make it happen - and it was spectacular! In fact all of the food was incredible! Our friends and family are all still talking about how it was the best food they'd ever had at an event or wedding. The planning phase was simple, organized, thorough, and extremely professional. I'm very much a "Type-A" person, and this one one of the few times in my life I was able to sit back and trust that others would get it right - would see my vision and run with it. Wedgewood was super accommodating to the vendors I chose to bring in for ceremony music (string quartet), florist, pastry chef/wedding cake and groom's cake, marquee letters, favors, balloons, and other extra touches. Day of - everything ran smoothly! Kayla and Mo were so kind, kept us updated and ready for the next part of the agenda...and kept us well-fed and hydrated! We only had one small hiccup during the reception (with availability of certain liquor we expected to have) - but Kayla went out of her way to make it right for us. I absolutely understand that things can happen, but it's how the team responds that makes the difference and the lasting impression. Kayla is exceptional! I highly recommend the Elite package (it's definitely worth it!), the "grand sparkler moment" at the reception grand entrance, the tortellini, the s'mores bar, a late-night snack, Wedgewood's preferred photographer - Tina Joiner, their preferred DJ - DJ Maestro, and their photo-booth option - Untamed Smiles. My favorite part of the process was Kayla's enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. It made me feel so confident that I was making all the right choices...and that my ideas weren't too crazy (having a sketch artist for our guests, we "buried the bourbon" on the property a month in advance for good weather... and dug it up on our wedding day, etc.). She was all for it and I truly appreciated her excitement for our traditions and ideas. Wedgewood is the Gold Standard in wedding venues! Without any hesitation, Highly Recommend!
