Acquaint Gathering

This place is beautiful, our wedding and reception turned out perfect. We cannot say enough nice things about Laurie either. She is the sweetest person, she knows what she's doing and really helped our day be as special as it was. If you want a memorable place to have your wedding or reception, a baby shower or any other event THIS IS YOUR PLACE.

The venue is so cute and the pricing is affordable. Laurie was very unorganized during the process of booking and getting details. Never communicated well and was late each time to our scheduled appointments. We paid her in full and then communication on her end stopped until a few nights before our wedding. We paid to have venue Friday night and Saturday until midnight. When I asked her the Wednesday before our wedding what time I could get key for rehearsal, she informed me she booked a wedding that night so I wasn't able to have venue. I was furious but let it slide. As I got there the day of my wedding, Laurie was not prepared at all and was never to be found. I had guests that were sweeping up broken glass and food from the night before. Then she used tablecloths from the night before which were not clean. She tried to put our cupcakes out and dropped 15+ on the floor and had to throw them away. The girl she had as a 'bartender' never had our alcohol stocked. Laurie was running to the back smoking area all night and returning with smell of marijuana. She continued moving our personal decorations around to where she wanted them instead of where we put them. Our wedding was at 3pm and she was boxing up all our alcohol at 7pm with at least 50 guest still there along with our DJ. She was very rude to our guests and even argued with a few. As mentioned above of her ruining my cupcakes, she also took 5 (one of each flavor) for herself which I thought was very inappropriate. I would absolutely NOT recommend this place after our experience.

The first meeting we had with Laurie she was late. I still moved forward with the tour. Trying to provide the benefit. After booking we paid a deposit and we paid the total cost well in advance. Due to COVID, we had to cancel my daughter's graduation party. Her Senior year was devastating already. I had to constantly beg Laurie to refund our cost, after she initially suggested. Since April, I've been contacting her. She was extremely unprofessional and went off through a text message the other day. She then only refunded the cost and not the deposit. Which I see she refunded deposits to other customers due to COVID. I sent an email asking about my deposit and still have not received a response. I would not recommend this business ever.
