From the beginning, the lack of communication was extremely frustrating. Emails went unanswered, information was inconsistent, and promises made to us were ultimately broken.After over a month of back-and-forth trying to schedule our food tasting, we drove over 45 minutes , only to arrive and discover that they didnt even know we were coming. We received no sincere apology for the inconvenience. The whole planning process, we were repeatedly given attitude by the coordinator. One of our vendors was so upset by the coordinator’s rudeness that they cried. We were told our rehearsal had to be at 4:30 PM because of a large event, yet when we arrived, there was no event taking place. Instead of helping us coordinate the rehearsal, the coordinator made comments about the venue closing at 4 PM and that we needed to leave. On our wedding day, items that were supposed to be set up were left undone, and the coordinator asked one of the brides to set up the drapery backdrop herself. One bridal suite also had crumbs on the floor. Because it rained, the chairs were brought inside, but one of the maids of honors had to wipe down the soaking-wet chairs herself. She was told the water was “cleaning spray,” despite visible puddles. We expected to receive support with the setup and coordination, but instead, we and our bridal party were left handling things ourselves which is unexcusable on our wedding day. The roof leaked, and our guests had to move a table themselves because staff did not help. The coordinator walked past the water on the floor multiple times without addressing it. We understand that unexpected problems happen. What matters is how those problems are handled. The lack of action until legal action was brought up was deeply disappointing. We were also upset by the food waste after guests were refused take-home containers despite food being left over. If we would have known, we would have brought our own containers for our guests. Half of our guests weren't even offered the cake we spent over 700 on. We took home a full tier and a half of leftover cake. At the end of the night, we were rushed out without any offer of help clean up, and the coordinator left before we had even finished packing our cars. It felt as though she could not leave fast enough. We also have numerous photos in which she appears in the background with her arms crossed and an unhappy expression. Overall, we felt a complete lack of professionalism, and support from the person responsible for coordinating our wedding. We do want to acknowledge that the waitstaff and bartender were kind, and we genuinely appreciate them. Unfortunately, the coordinator’s conduct, poor communication, and broken promises overshadowed what should have been one of the happiest days of our lives. The only positive I can share is that the food was good. But we wish our guests could have taken some home. Or even if the venue offered it to the brides since we did pay for it. This was a deeply disappointing experience, and we wouldn't recommend Blackhawk Country Club to others. We have reached out multiple times to share our concerns and have yet to receive a response. We hope that by sharing our experience publicly, our concerns will finally be acknowledged and addressed. Here are photos of the wet floor with no sign and members of our bridal party moving the chairs out of the way and how the drapery was when we showed up 2 hours before the wedding

I wish I could rate a ZERO - review part 1 of 3
If you haven't already booked with this venue, DON'T. And if you have, run - cut your losses on a deposit because it's not worth the headache. If you stay with this venue, here's a list of what you're in for: 1) an incredibly rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful venue coordinator. She gave zero direction during the rehearsal. She left it up to the bridal party to figure out and come up with a plan for the arrangement of everything for the ceremony. In fact, the only thing she did do at the rehearsal was disappear and then get annoyed that we were still there trying to figure things out for the next day. 2) your decorations to be left undone when you arrive to the venue, despite being told that it would be taken care of. Then the venue coordinator claims they don't do that and an outside decorating company should have been hired (again, zero mention of this beforehand, and their website explicitly states that event setup and breakdown is included in their services) and then told the bride to set up the decorative arch for the ceremony. When bridesmaids stopped that and told the bride to go get ready, venue coordinator told the bridesmaids that there didn't need to be so much drama. At which point bridesmaids told her that there wouldn't be drama if the venue would just do its job and do what they had told the couple it would handle. No response from the venue coordinator was given. 3) being lied to about there being "a huge party" at the venue the night before, so they'd be cleaning up from that and we'd be unable to fully get ready at the venue (with hair and makeup). But the couple had been told everyone could still get dressed at the venue. And when we showed up with full hair and makeup done, just needing to get into our dresses and suits, the coordinator complained about the bridal party getting ready in the provided bridal suite, despite having told the couple that it was ok for us to get dressed there previously. And there very obviously had not been a "huge party" there the night before because we were the only ones in the building during the rehearsal. We were there from 4:30-6:00, and the coordinator couldn't get us out of there fast enough because they "closed at 4:00" even though she was the one who scheduled the rehearsal for 4:30. And then she closed up and left as soon as we got out of there. So where was this "huge party" that they were having there that night? 4) wet seats for your guests to sit on during the ceremony. We were told the seats were wet because they had just been sanitized and maybe hadn't finished drying yet. But this wasn't just wet streaks that were still drying and would dry within a few minutes. This was large drops of pooled water on the seats, the backs of the seats still actively dripping wet, and water collected in pools in the divots between the cushion and the bottom of the seat. All of which were in amounts that were not likely to be dry by the start of the ceremony, which would mean our guests would sit and get their nice clothes all wet. Not acceptable. TO BE CONTINUED...

Unwelcomed
I was very disappointed with my experience working with Blackhawk Country Club for my wedding. Their communication was extremely poor, as they did not provide any reason for why they said they would not be able to host my wedding, even though I saw their starting package price was 3,000. It seems very strange and concerning that they would turn me away without explanation, and I can't help but wonder if it had to do with the color of my skin or my budget as a helicopter builder from Stratford. The venue itself looks beautiful, but their lack of professionalism and unwillingness to work with me on my special day was extremely upsetting and felt very messed up. I would not recommend this venue to any couple looking to get married.
