I recently had the pleasure of working with Marlo at Creative & Elegant Events, and I cannot recommend this space enough! From the very beginning, the owner was incredibly nice and demonstrated excellent communication skills. Even when I took my time to respond, she was patient and understanding, which made the entire process stress-free.

The setup of the venue was beautiful and perfectly suited to my needs. What truly stood out was the personalized touch she added by creating a slideshow that I absolutely loved. It showed her dedication and attention to detail, making the experience even more special.

I will definitely be using Creative & Elegant Events again for future events, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic venue with a wonderful owner!

I recently hosted my birthday party at this venue. First, let me say the space was beautiful, and the bartender did her thing! However, I had asked her to tell my friends I was cut off (playfully), and she didn’t relay that message, which led to some things happening that weren’t addressed until later—because my people know I flip tables, lol.

Here’s where things took a turn:

Water Situation: My mother was told I needed to provide my own water and that it was in my contract. I said I didn’t remember seeing that, so I checked—nothing in my contract mentioned supplying my own water.

The Mimosa Issue: This was a brunch with a cash bar. How is it possible you told my family you didn’t have the ingredients to make a mimosa? That’s a brunch staple. On top of that, you told my mother she had to pay $100 just to pop a bottle of Champagne that she went ahead and paid. Then you claimed I didn’t tell you it was needed. But in your texts, you asked me what I drank and said you’d have everything, just wanted to confirm my preferences. How are mimosas not part of “everything” at a brunch?

Countdown & Exit: Around 3 PM, I told my family to start wrapping things up since our rental ended at 4 PM. You then made a comment about how if we weren’t out by 4 PM, I would be charged—even after I had already told my guests to wind down. Then you asked me if you could take one a plate (you and your bartender) and at the same time were telling my family they were on a countdown. That was confusing and honestly felt unprofessional.

After the event, you emailed me a slideshow, which was very cute, and asked me to leave a review. When I didn’t respond right away, you texted me asking for my Zelle info to return my cleaning deposit and asked if I had done the review. It honestly felt like you were trying to get a positive review before sending my deposit back, just in case I gave honest feedback. So I waited until I received my deposit before sharing this.

The venue is nice but i feel like things could have been handle a little better day of.
