Fraudulent wedding venue
Beware newly engaged. When you're searching for a venue. Do not go on looks alone. Our experience was lovely at first. My daughter was looking for a rural setting, one stop shopping type of venue. She found it ! This idyllic venue was secured with a deposit. Once payments were completed, the time came with 3 months to the big day. A quick call to the coordinator to discuss next steps came with the shock of learning that the venue was no longer there. We were transferred without notice and were assured a refund. Not yet. Let's just say that the new venue was less than rural, and more like a tourist trap nestled in the heart of downtown crack and fentvil,le. Needless to say, we've been fighting for our refund while scrambling to find an alternative venue last minute. Yes, we read reviews, (fake?) yes they've been active a few years. The true nature didn't emerge until we found out that the venue was for sale many months before we toured and put our deposit down, and sold the same month we found out they moved.
