My partner and I were incredibly disappointed with this vendor. While our family, friends, and separate vendors helped make the day special, many key elements that were promised and contractually agreed upon were either incomplete, missing, or poorly executed. Examples include: Golf Cart Shuttle Service: Not provided at all on the day of the event. Barn Cocktail Hour Décor: Only three barrels were present with no décor, despite the agreed design. Firepit and Seating: Not set up or made available for use. Complimentary Champagne Toast: Not provided for the bridal party; instead, we received red wine well after arrival with no accompanying food. Bridal Gift Bags / Keepsakes: Only the groom’s party received keepsakes. Starry Night Lighting: Absent entirely. Guests expressed safety concerns about the lack of lighting while walking in the dark. Ceremony Lighting and Décor: No lanterns at the ceremony entrance or chair rows; the ceremony tree lighting and décor were never completed despite assurances. Dessert Table: Our donut tower was missing, and the table lacked a tablecloth. Lawn Games: Giant Jenga, Connect Four, corn hole, and ring toss were not set up; this resulted in our guests leaving early due to the lack of activities. Catering and Beverage Issues: Several items from our signed and paid catering proposal were missing, and confirmed by multiple guests Planning and Communication Failures: We never received our meeting notes, which we were told would be sent by email. QR Codes for our wedding registry were not displayed. The guest seating plan we submitted - including full names and table assignments - was disorganized and implemented poorly. The first dance song was incorrect, despite multiple confirmations (two emails with Spotify links, one text, and one follow-up email outlining all music). The charcuterie board we were told would be provided was not provided to the bridal party. Random carpets were placed on the floor, creating a tripping hazard (my mother nearly fell). Additional notes: We were repeatedly told we had caused logistical issues - such as “messing up the table plan” - when the venue’s own lack of follow-up (including missing meeting notes) caused the confusion. We were proactive and cooperative throughout the planning process, providing detailed music links, layouts, and confirmations. Despite that, we ended up managing aspects of the event ourselves, such as calling a table for dinner, opening dessert boxes, and notifying guests when dessert was available. We received consistent feedback from guests that the catering staff appeared irritated and dismissive when asked basic questions about food and service. This created discomfort among our family and friends, which is unacceptable for a paid, private event of this importance. This is not the experience we were promised, nor the level of professionalism we expected. Outcome: We requested a partial refund for the items that were not contractually fulfilled. Instead, we received an email detailing issues that we supposedly caused, no apology, and excuses for why our needs couldn’t be met. On top of that, we were lowballed a refund amount that did NOT match the contract pricing. Our overall impression of Ol Fashion Flare is that the owner is that she lacks accountability, shifting blame and responsibility onto us (adding issues that weren't originally discussed), outright dishonesty, and lacks communication. Screenshots of her response and the brochure attached.
Response from vendor•Dec 2, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Your wedding day is incredibly meaningful, and I’m truly sorry certain elements didn’t feel the way you hoped. For clarity to future couples, I’d like to offer some transparent context. Shortly after your October wedding, I provided a detailed written response addressing each concern line by line. In that message, I acknowledged the few items that did not go as planned, took responsibility for those areas, and issued a refund reflecting the exact contractual value — along with courtesy refunds for experience-based elements that did not carry a direct fee. Some of the photos and screenshots you shared reflect à-la-carte pricing from different packages and optional upgrades, not the bundled package you selected. À-la-carte items carry different pricing, which is why package bundles are discounted. Your contract lists the specific items included, and those items — not the à-la-carte menu — guided planning and execution. Several of the images you posted also show services and décor that were, in fact, provided, though they do not reflect the full setup or complete contracted scope. Additionally, you received significant complimentary upgrades, including an additional event space — a 40x60 tent with hardwood flooring, chandeliers, uplights, and café lighting — a commercial heater, upgraded tableware, extended beverage service throughout the reception, upgraded appetizers, and custom printed pieces. None of these items were added to your invoice or charged to you. As with any outdoor wedding, real-time adjustments were made based on weather (temperatures were in the low 50s) and sunset timing (certain lighting elements would not have been visible due to dusk). These are standard industry decisions intended to support guest comfort and maintain the flow of the day. Our commitment to every couple is transparency, professionalism, and thoughtful execution. While I regret that your day didn’t feel perfect for you, it’s important that the full documented context, contracted scope, and provided upgrades are accurately reflected. I sincerely wish you both the very best moving forward.
