Richard was extremely helpful and showed us where the garden department was located. Even the bags of dirt are displayed as beautifully as merchandise in a high-end store! After making our purchase, we decided to head over to the restaurant. We were warmly greeted and given our choice of a booth or table--we chose a booth. Our server, Josh, promptly offered beverages, and we enjoyed freshly brewed coffee while looking over the menu. I chose the BLT on a croissant with a side salad. The meal also came with fresh buns, available in either whole wheat or white. Josh told us that most people choose the white, which made me smile. The salad arrived almost immediately and included shredded lettuce, grated carrots, and two tomato slices with a side of blue cheese dressing. It was good, but the BLT--wow! It had more bacon than Miss Piggy could dream of. Unfortunately, there was no mayonnaise on it. I'm not sure whether it wasn't offered or if I simply overlooked it, but I added some to the half I brought home, and it was just as delicious later. I would highly recommend the BLT on a croissant. And if you have the opportunity, ask for Josh as your server. We were told we could request him, and honestly, I would go back just for his excellent service. Another fun aspect of the experience is the atmosphere. The place feels almost like a Las Vegas venue--huge, spotless, and designed to accommodate hundreds of guests. Despite its size, the service was outstanding. We even shared a few laughs with the dessert server. Speaking of desserts, you should see them--they're enormous! So, stop by the hardware store, enjoy a meal at the restaurant, ask for Josh, and save room for dessert. I highly recommend the entire experience and can't wait to go back!

    As the mother of the bride, I wanted to wait before writing this review so I could gather my…read morethoughts and speak only about what I personally experienced. I had hoped to simply remember my daughter's wedding with joy, but unfortunately there were too many things that I witnessed that deserve to be shared. I was actually the one who encouraged my daughter to choose Posh Events. As a Black-owned business, I truly believe in supporting businesses within our community whenever possible. I was proud to recommend them, which makes writing this review especially difficult. One thing that disappointed me before the wedding even began was that our rehearsal was held on Tuesday while the wedding wasn't until Friday. I understand another wedding was scheduled on Thursday, but it would have made much more sense for our rehearsal to be held closer to our wedding day so everything would have been fresh in everyone's minds. My daughter spent countless hours creating a seating chart and even sent it to Posh Events to confirm everything was correct. That seating chart was never followed, and afterward she was blamed for there being "one too many tables." From my perspective, if there was confusion between the venue and the day-of coordinator, that should never have become the bride's responsibility. One of the most upsetting moments for me was seeing my son-in-law, who is sober, served champagne after staff had been been told multiple times that he does not drink alcohol. That request should have been respected without question. As dinner began, several guests came to me asking why they couldn't get drinks. I also noticed that the water glasses on the tables were never filled, leaving guests without water during their meal. Later, we learned they had run out of beer for guests who wanted it. The wedding party's meals had already been plated for quite some time before they were finally able to eat, and by then their food was cold. While talking with guests in the designated smoking area, I personally witnessed staff carrying take-out containers of food to their vehicles while our reception was still taking place. Seeing that while our guests were still being served and enjoying the celebration was disappointing. I also watched staff begin removing plates and napkins before many guests had finished eating. As the evening continued, garbage cans were brought into the reception area and cleanup had already started while guests were still dancing and others were enjoying the beautiful desserts that had been lovingly prepared by friends of the bride. When I asked why cleanup had begun so early, I was told they needed to get ready for another wedding the following day. While I understand venues have busy schedules, our reception was still in progress, and it left many of us feeling as though our celebration was being rushed so preparations could begin for the next event. I also witnessed the confrontation between Char and the bride. Watching a disagreement escalate on what should have been one of the happiest days of my daughter's life was heartbreaking. Situations like that should be handled calmly, professionally, and away from the bride whenever possible. Because everything moved so quickly at the end of the evening, we were rushed out of the bridal suite and the venue. We weren't given the opportunity to properly pack our belongings, change out of our formal clothes, or retrieve what remained of the desserts that had been generously made by my daughter's friends. It felt as though, once the reception ended, our family's celebration no longer mattered. I was also disappointed to read the owner's public responses afterward. Rather than simply acknowledging concerns, comments were made referencing "Black folks." As someone who intentionally chose to support a Black-owned business, I found those remarks disappointing and unnecessary. Professional businesses can disagree with a customer's experience without resorting to comments that reference race. Finally, I want to address the statements suggesting our guests were intoxicated or that someone was going to "jump" members of the staff. I was present throughout the wedding and reception, and that is simply not what I witnessed. No one was so intoxicated that they were unaware of what was happening. Those statements do not reflect the event that I experienced and only distracted from the legitimate concerns our family had. I do want to recognize LaCiana. Throughout the day, she treated our family with kindness and respect. She remained professional in every interaction I had with her, and I truly appreciated the way she communicated with us during a very stressful day. I believe it's important to acknowledge the people who do their jobs well, and I sincerely thank her for the care she showed our family. This review isn't written out of anger or resentment. It's written from the heart of a mother who watched her daughter spend months planning one of the most important da

First, I want to be fair because there were many things that were done well. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the décor came together exactly as we had envisioned. It truly was a beautiful wedding. Many of our guests complimented the food, and several members of the staff, especially Iris at the bar and LaCiana, were incredibly kind, professional, and helpful throughout the day. Their efforts, especially when helping de-escalate stressful moments, did not go unnoticed. What made this experience so disappointing is that we've planned and executed a wedding ourselves before. It was on a much smaller budget and with only about a month to prepare, so we understand firsthand how much work goes into making a wedding successful. Because of that experience, hiring a venue that offered coordination was one of the easiest decisions to make. Not because we couldn't do it ourselves, but because we didn't want to. We wanted the bride and groom, their families, and the bridal party to simply enjoy the day while experienced professionals handled the logistics. Unfortunately, that's not how the day unfolded. Throughout the day, there were communication breakdowns, timeline confusion, setup issues, meal service problems, bar service concerns, and an abrupt end to the reception that left many guests unsure of what was happening. Instead of simply celebrating, members of the bridal party and family found themselves helping manage situations that should have been handled by the professionals hired to coordinate the event. As someone currently pursuing a Business Management degree, I couldn't help but notice that the biggest issue wasn't that mistakes happened. Every wedding has unexpected challenges. The difference is how those challenges are communicated, managed, and resolved. The venue has so much potential, which honestly makes this review even harder to write. I genuinely hope improvements are made because every couple deserves to spend their wedding day fully present, surrounded by the people they love, rather than relying on family and friends to help coordinate the event they paid professionals to manage.
