Worst experience possible


Where do I even start about this train wreck of a business? First off, if you look at the reviews, several were posted by the owner herself (she even thanked herself for writing them). Here is my wedding experience... my fiancé and I contacted the owner, Nancy, back in October. We initially requested to use the Edison for a small ceremony with cake. We were told it would be $850 for the couple of hours that we wanted it and that we would be responsible for clean up. Within a week, we realized that we probably should feed our guests since the ceremony was at 5pm. We were then told that it would be an inconvenience because they (The Edison) would have to do the cleaning since catered food apparently makes more of a mess. So, Nancy raised the price to $1,000 and we were to have it from 5-8pm and were told that we could come in at 4pm to get ready and do some decorating. Skip forward to middle of December and we hadn’t heard anything from this business at all and we’re getting concerned. They assured us that they always meet with the bride and groom (last minute) the week of the wedding. Cool. We sit down with Nancy five days before our wedding and she basically tells us nothing and asks us nothing. I was worried but tried to have faith that she knows what she’s doing. I’m also told that week that our time starts at 4pm. That’s three hours to get ready, have the ceremony, have the catering set up (the venue is too small to do prior to the ceremony), eat dinner, do pictures, and cake. We were completely set up for failure. And by this point, our $1000 check had been cashed. I was told that if we wanted to add extra time or use any more tables, “my mom” would need to call and pay extra because “my mom” had already made arrangements with them. For the record, Nancy had never spoken to my mom EVER. So, we decided to work with what we had and hope for the best. The night of our wedding arrived and then Nancy decides to have a conversation about what the service will be like (while I’m trying to get ready). But she doesn’t explain or ask some pretty imperative questions. This leads to a very bizarre rambling about “friendship” and macaroni and cheese during the ceremony. She asked me AT THE ALTER whether I was going to change my name. She nearly announced us “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and had to correct herself. She didn’t tell my teenage son that she was going to be asking him “who gives the bride away” (which I never would’ve wanted to be part of the ceremony) so he stared at her until she whispered to him what to say. Just unprofessional. And tacky. We then have our rushed reception and are told by Pastor Jane (who had come to take over supervising) that we had to clean up the place. That means putting up tables, chairs, taking out the trash. We weren’t even allowed to put trash in their dumpster because supposedly they didn’t have one. My guests were putting bags of trash IN THEIR VEHICLES. SO EMBARRASSING. Nancy reached out to me the following day and basically said that she did nothing wrong and that her and my mom had made the agreement that we would clean up (again, she had never spoken to my mom prior to the evening of our wedding). I responded to her and told her my feelings on all of the above and had no response. Not even an apology for the embarrassment of saying our names wrong. This place is worthless. I wish I could give 0 stars.
