Do not use this house for wedding/reception.
DO NOT USE this house for your wedding/reception. I had very little time to find a place available for my daughter's wedding, and I paid the price asked, but I soon learned that the person who runs the house can not act professional, communicate without overstepping her bounds, and expresses disgust if your ideas are not exactly the way she's seen done at other weddings there. She constantly contradicts herself, does not reveal important information, and lies, therefore your event is at her mercy. It's amazing that my daughter's wedding wasn't delayed by an hour or two since Barbara did not have anything set up as had been agreed on two nights before at the rehearsal. When I had to ask her more than once to get the tables moved or move the house's props, she lied, claiming that I had never told her where I wanted them.
When we first viewed the house, Barbara claimed that it was her house; it was later revealed that it is not. She suggested renting tables and chairs from her friend and have some guys bring them from outside to inside after the ceremony; however two days before the wedding I was told that we could not have the rented tables and chairs inside the house. I was told that people usually stayed outside for receptions. However, my daughter's wedding was in August so I chose to allow my guests the comfort of air conditioning, even though it didn't work as well as it should have and my guests sweated.
Barbara even tried to stop my DJ from bringing his equipment into the house to the agreed on area even though it had been discussed many times.
The day after the wedding she tried to charge me for things and prices that were never disclosed. She had previously told me, the bride, and my mother that I would be allowed to use, without charge, some plain tableclothes that were in storage in the house, but she refused to give them to me two hours before the wedding except for one that was picked up and one with a burn in it. She tried to charge me for them the next day. On a funny note, the day after the wedding she proclaimed that the chairs and tables were never used by the guests, but that's a lie and I have pictures of guests constantly sitting in chairs at tables.
The house is NOT accessible unless you can climb 9 steps without any type of handrail. The only ramp is gated with a short gate that is easily stepped over and it's missing at least one board. The brick path that myself and bridal party walked down for the wedding is horribly holey and rutted, our shoes are ruined, and it's a wonder no one twisted their ankle. There is very little landscaping in the front of the house except overgrown shrubs.
There's no bathroom available for those who need a higher toilet and there's no safety railing. My mother and I had this specific concern and were told by Barbara that she had a special chair to assist with that problem and it would be available for my grandmother. When the chair was needed, I had to find Barbara in kitchen (with the "girls" who were being paid by my rental fee to help out in the reception and I personally never saw them do anything but sit in the kitchen) and ask her to put the higher chair in the restroom. Barbara told me to help her set it up, so there I was wearing my Mother of the Bride dress and heels while my embarressed Grandmother watched and waited. I needed to be hosting the reception and taking care of my guests but I was doing something Barbara lied about doing. The day after the wedding Barbara claimed that the house's owner told her not to set up the chair and that my grandmother shouldn't have come to the wedding since there wasn't a toilet for her.
I was even told that I was supposed to vacuum as part of my cleanup, and that had never been disclosed in any way before. I left phone messages with the owner, but I haven't heard anything back from her.
Just don't even call the number for this place and continue to read the other reviews posted.
