I got married at Nativity Pines a few weeks ago. The venue is beautiful, however, I was NOT pleased. It was impossible to get ahold of Annie. In the contract it states that they will do the decorating, so that was our plan. It DID NOT happen. I came in just 2 hours before my wedding to see that the only thing done was the centerpieces that MY FAMILY did. Not only did they not do the decorating that they were supposed to do, but I had food that disappeared and never made it out or went back home with me. In the contract, Annie said that she would be more than happy to refill food and she didnt. She was overheard complaining that all we were doing was having a good time...thats what we were supposed to do since it was in the contract that SHE would refill food as needed. My family ended up doing that as well. Not only did I not get what I paid for, but she also tried to charge me for extra time that we did not stay!There were also all kinds of little things like the white carpet for walking down the aisle that I never saw. I called her the Monday after my wedding to find out about the damage deposit and she said she would get it in the mail...that was almost a month ago. I have been calling her for a week straight and today I finally got ahold of her and she was not nice about it and said she had not even looked at the contract again but would send me the check. I guess we will see what happens...If you dont mind setting it up yourself and doing everything on your own, it might not be bad, but it would have been nice to know that more than two hours before your wedding!
