Blue Dress Barn

Dear Susie, first and foremost congrats. We were so thankful for you and excited as your wedding day approached. I’m glad you thought the venue was absolutely stunning. We’d like to address a few of your dissatisfied feelings Extra rental time. We don’t see why if you want to rent more time it should upset you that we charge by the hour for more time at the venue. We are a rental and that’s is what we do ? You never expressed to us you were upset A 3pm ceremony is about 1.5-2 hours earlier then we recommend. 4:30 is what we see most of the time. This is recommended on the suggested timeline on our website and given to you at your tour. Moving your ceremony would of been a great solution. Or. We do give the option on Sundays to move the 12 hour rental from 10am-10pm. This would of given you more time at the front of the day Flower petals : we have many couples who marry at the venue day after day. It’s important to us that the yard and grounds stay nice. Not all couples want white, red or pink petals down the arbor. I would think any rental would ask someone to pick up after themselves. We certainly don’t expect the bride or groom to do this but perhaps a family member or friend could help. The fine is set in place so they get picked up and frankly we’ve only had to charge someone maybe 6 times in the 23 years open. It’s a great way to keep people from throwing stuff on the grounds and walking away. No coordinator : that is correct and also in our agreement. Many venues do not have coordinators. Coordinators are different then a venue manager. Which we do have in place to greet your vendors and help them find their area and answer questions. I know our manager was present all day to assist anyone. She is always happy to help if asked. The paper towel. That’s frustrating and I will speak to our night staff. It’s silly because we have boxes n boxes of it. All they needed to do is get more. I know if both of our night staff was aware they would have restocked it. I think because we had two gentleman working that evening they felt uncomfortable walking into the bathroom and thought someone would ask. But ultimately it is their fault for not checking. I’m sorry that upset you so much that a it had to be in this review. We will make sure this does not We strive so very hard to serve you well and want your day to be perfect Wishing you a lifetime of love Amelia
