We booked my wedding right after the new year for June 2009. We went there spoke with the wedding cordinater for about a little over an hour and asked very detailed questions. My parents even came and we asked them several times, "" so there is no reason why this wedding will not happen on the date we picked?"" they said oh no and we watched them pencil in our wedding date in their book. We then signed the contract and put down half for a deposit. Well the middle of March my mom starts calling around for cake people, she spoke with this one lady and told her the date and the place. The cake lady said oh no are you sure about that date because i am already doing a wedding there. Come to find out they doubled booked my wedding and we had to find out through a third party. It is now three months away and I had to find a new venue and three months every bride knows there is not much left to pick from in that amount of time. We had to go TWO hours away from the hinnant to find something even close to what we had with hinnant. It is now April 9 and we still have not received our deposit back. EVEN WORSE, they never called ME the bride to say they were sorry. We are having to spend an extra 5000 for the other place because we had to pay extra for everything we had booked out, band, horse drawn carriage, floral, and photographer for the extra travel time. Our guests also have to travel alot further. Hinnant has offered us to give the deposit back and another 1500 on top of that. I have not changed anything to my wedding at all to make the cost go up its just we had to pay extra for all this other stuff. I am sorry but 1500 extra is not to me enough to fix what they did on what is suppose to be the best time of a girls life! I am offened that they are not sorry for what they did and that they really feel they are not responsible for what happened! If we had backed out we would have been held responsible by letting them keep our huge deposit . WHERE IS THEIR RESPONSIBLITY!!!!!! dont ever book a wedding at this place because they dont care if they mess it up. this could have gone all the way up to my wedding day and if by a miracle my mom did hear about this now so that two weddings would not have been held on this day and it would have been a disaster!
Cons: horrible event planners!!!!! they will double book you
