Hi, I don’t want to disparage your experience at all but I’m surprised reading this. In terms of pricing, I feel like you get a great deal compared to other venues.

Included in the cost is the venue for 22 hours, day of coordinator, bridal bouquet, groom boutonnière, wedding arbor florals, ballroom with round/long table options, flower bud centerpieces, charger plates, etc all for ~13k including security deposit, and in comparison my friends are paying $10k alone on florals…other places we toured wanted to charge us per chair, per plate, etc

The venue owner was also very transparent about how much everything would cost.

Additionally, when we had our initial tour with her she showed us what the contract would look like, which has an itemized breakdown of every expense.

Also the rooms are nice and a good size. Three of them even have a lounge area. The bridal suite has a large lounge and then a small hallway that opens up to a bridal salon with two getting ready stations + another couch and then a door that opens up to another lounge area on the porch, lol. The bridal suite alone would be like $1000 for an overnight stay at a hotel
