Ashley H.
All inclusive Wedding Reception
Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend them!
The Cake Walk Team•Jul 9, 2026Ashley, your review truly touched our hearts. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting our team with one of the most important days of your life. It was such a pleasure getting to know you throughout the planning process. Dorcas loves what she does so much that she never once thought you were "difficult"—Dorcas knew you were a bride who knew the vision you had for your wedding, and it was an honor to help bring that vision to life. Seeing everything come together exactly as you imagined made all the planning worthwhile. Thank you for recognizing every member of our team as you did Dorcas—from Susan's beautiful décor to our caterer Chef J, bartender AJ, photographer Shawn Bond, and DJ Champ. Others, like Lea our venue coordinator and Ottalie our Director of Operations, Dorian, Darrian and Daylen, the owner's sons support every aspect of this thriving venue are so very much appreciated. They each worked incredibly hard, and they'll be so happy to know they helped create such a memorable celebration. On behalf of all of us at Black Swan Venue, congratulations to you both! We wish you a lifetime of happiness, and we hope you'll come back to visit us for anniversaries or future celebrations. Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and your wonderful recommendation. 🖤🖤🖤

Customer service is rediculous
The team at Black Swan Venue was so prompt and very well informed throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their communication and follow-up was incredible - they were incredibly attentive and stayed to help us set up the chairs and tables when we were feeling a bit panicked about the timeline. They even went above and beyond to help direct our guests to the best parking spots, which was a huge relief since I had forgotten some of the details from their pre-wedding email. The quality of their work was impeccable - everything was so clean and fresh-smelling. We also added the bridal and groom rooms at the last minute, and they made that process seamless, sending me a link to easily pay for it online. Black Swan Venue truly contributed to making our special day perfect.
The Cake Walk Team•Mar 31, 2026Thank you so much, Vena. Truly. We know how overwhelming wedding timelines can feel in the moment, so being able to step in, steady things, and support you when it mattered most means everything to us. That’s exactly the experience we strive to create. We’re so glad the communication, setup support, and even the little things like parking guidance made a difference for you and your guests. And we love that you added the bridal and groom suites last minute—that’s what flexibility is all about. Thank you for trusting Black Swan Venue with such an important day. We’re honored to have been a part of it.
