Serendipity Events

beautiful venue, but unfortunate experience.

let me start off by saying this venue has a gorgeous lakeside view. very budget friendly. you can customize your packages. they allow outside catering. ample parking for guests. the reason why i'm giving this place a low review is because of how they handled my refund request. i requested for them to do a backdrop, as seen in the photos. i gave them a reference photo, told them what i wanted. on the day of the wedding, i noticed that a lot of the decor i wanted seemed incomplete, but didn't think much of it because i figured they were working on it and would be finished by the time everything started... but nope. first off, i wanted drapes on the ceiling with purple lanterns. this was not arranged in the way i wanted, and the owner agreed that it didn't look right. this was sort of fixed, so i didn't say much. my centerpieces did not have any greenery, which made the tables look kinda plain, but whatever, that's fine. the backdrop though? that was terrible. no one took photos of it. i paid 675 for that backdrop for people take photos with, and none of my guests did because they all agreed that it looked weird. i found out that the person who was in charge of the decor had to leave for an emergency, which i completely understand. however, that backdrop was NOT up to standard at all. some time after the wedding, i reached out to the owner to see if i can get a refund on just the backdrop. they gave me half the amount, citing that "providing refunds for design items is not a standard practice for us due to the significant time and materials invested in their creations." if you look at the photos provided, please tell me how that backdrop is still 325. this left a bad taste in my mouth.
