Ol Macs Farm

If I could give this location a negative review, it would be a negative 5 stars. The guests saved the day. Karen, the owner, is very unprofessional, very crotchedy and extremely angry. Bride and Groom were promised free run of the downstairs and two rooms to spend with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, only to be given a broom closet to change in. We were told to get all of our things out of the house before the ceremony and were rushed out the door as she stood behind a baby gate like a Boarder Patrol Agent watching our every move. She loudly announced that the doors would be locked and we could not come back to grab any items left behind. At one point I heard her let out an extremely loud sigh so we knew she was standing there and not moving. The constant patrol with her golf cart left everyone on edge. She even approached the bartender and DJ who were privately contracted out by the Bride and Groom and told to leave at 10. They were paid until 11 pm. So many reasons why you need to step away from this location to make this part of your day to remember. Again I would like to reiterate that it was the guests that saved what could have been a stain on their beautiful day. Just say no. RUN don't walk away from this venue.

This venue is beautiful but the owner is rotten! Let's start from the beginning..when me and my now husband went to tour this venue it was gorgeous! The owner Karen was such a nice lady . She took us around the property and showed us where we could take all the good pictures and where everybody would be sitting or cocktail hour would be just made it sound so wonderful . She told us we would have the property and the majority of the house which included the kitchen that had snacks for the bridal party and the bride and groom had in oven if the caterer needed to warm up any food . Then you go a little further and there was a pool table cardboard pretty much an entertainment area we would get full use of that for the whole day . Then you walk a little bit further into the house and there would be a room where the groom and the groomsmen would get ready then we turn around and went the other way and she showed us the area where the bride and the Bridesmaids would be getting ready . Everything was what we wanted and we were so excited we put our $500 deposit down to save the date . Fast forward to the day of the wedding March 18th 2023. She started off nice and then gradually turned into a very unprofessional , rude, dictator. My husband was told to be there at 3:00 p.m. so him and his guys could get ready so we assume that they were getting ready in the room that she showed us that they would be getting ready in she said no that that area is blocked off her mother has broken her hip and she had to let her move in there and that side was off limits . She then proceeded to tell me the porta potties outside were available for them to change in . Her mother who was supposedly on the other side of the house was not in fact on the other side of the house she was in a room right across the hall from where I the bride and my bridesmaids were getting ready . She kept coming out of her room looking in our room and wandering up and down the hallway . One of my bridesmaids almost ran into her because she didn't know she was going to be in the hallway . After that it was almost time for the ceremony which at that time she yelled down the hallway standing behind a baby gate that she put up so we couldn't go past it 5 minutes and you have to be out of the house and take everything with you this is 5:00 p.m. at this time not once when we booked this venue did she tell us that we would have to be out of her house by 5:00 p.m. so everyone was scrambling to get out because she was locking the door and we were not allowed to get anything else out of her house after 5:00 p.m. we could put it in the garage and leave it there . Okay so then we started taking things out to put it in the garage some of the guys from outside decided to help and she kept yelling down the hallway bridal party only bridal party only . No if you're kicking us out of your house and we have a lot of stuff in there anyone is going to come help us get it out before you lock the door and keep our belongings . We had the ceremony and everything was fine . But as the reception started she was outside patrolling on her golf cart riding up to my guess and being very rude . Cussing at them and just making them feel unwelcome . I also forgot my veil in the house and ran back in there to get it only to find it shoved in the garbage can. Her constant patrolling on the golf cart made us all feel uneasy she would come and just stare at us for no reason . I also heard she let her Dogs Out during my reception and they came into the building with all of my guests . I was also told that she was cussing at my mother-in-law and the children that were running around playing outside at the reception . My husband has a medical marijuana card and he accidentally left his shorts there that had the Vape battery to it. He texted her to ask her if he could come by to get his shorts that he forgot she was extremely rude to him and told him she's not home what does he want her to do about it . But yet she wants an item that was accidentally removed from there back. How is it fair that she gets her belongings back but we don't get ours . She then proceeds to text me and tell me that my husband told her he had something in her house and she's going to call the canine unit to come sniff her house because she doesn't know what he left in there. He did not hide anything in her house he told her he left his battery in the garage . Almost every one of my guests had a horrible experience with her . I have tried to call her and text her she will not respond to me but she will say what she wants to say . At the end of the night my mother-in-law went up to her and asked her if we had to clean everything up which she had told us when we booked the venue that she had helpers that come out that day to do that . She then tells my mother-in-law well I hope you leave it the way that you effing found it ! Karen McDonald is a very rude and unprofessional lady never do business with her she is terrible!!​​
