We recently had our wedding at this venue in September. While the venue itself is incredibly beautiful and the wedding went smoothly (thanks to our amazing French wedding planner), we were disappointed by the venue owners’ communication and handling of key issues, which caused unnecessary stress. About a month before our wedding, the venue owners informed us they would be on vacation for a week but then stopped responding altogether for an entire month—ignoring every email, call, message, and voicemail from us and our wedding planner. This lack of communication created significant anxiety, especially as we needed prompt replies for critical details like vendor deliveries and logistics. My husband and I were just two days away from leaving to meet our families in France when they finally answered, without any apology for the delay. The day we arrived at venue two days before our wedding the owner informed us the previous wedding guests had mistakenly gone into our wine supply for our wedding and that we should "probably go check". While this was not their fault they had been sitting on this information for over a week and could have left us in a bad situation. Luckily they had not taken too many of our bottles. The morning after our wedding, the owners were also notably rude to my French in-laws regarding cleaning arrangements, even though we’d hired a cleaning crew to ensure the venue was left spotless and we were all working together to leave the venue as it was found. The only time I was met with a smile was as we were leaving when the venue owner asked me to “tag them on Instagram” for their own promotion. I understand that weddings can be demanding, but a lack of communication, respect, and warmth—especially in this industry—made us feel like a transaction rather than valued clients.
