I recently coordinated a wedding at The Wilhite House. After we booked I found several negative reviews online and was secretly very concerned. Every time we met with Lori and the staff they were friendly and professional which contradicted the reviews, yet as the day approached I have to admit I was nervous. \r
\r
Boy was I surprised, right at the very beginning Lori caught a potential problem that we had overlooked and scrambled around to fix it. The staff was prompt, courteous and professional. The music went exactly as planned and the dance floor was full…the DJ was friendly and funny. The food was exceptional, as weddings go, as was the cake and punch. The facility was beautiful. And at the end of the night, I told Lori about the negative reviews and gave her my word I would write a positive review on that site, which is why I am writing today.\r
\r
After much contemplation looking back on my friend’s wedding day, compared to the negative reviews, I am convinced that some people don’t read the paperwork, they don’t appreciate the fact that any place you go is going to have guidelines, and that just because you rent a place, doesn’t mean you can do what ever you want, however you want and maybe, just maybe, the very people who write that everything was so bad, had such a bad attitude that it caused the bad situation (if there even was a bad situation!)\r
\r
In closing, I would like to add that a person who writes that one thing wasn’t perfect: cake, music, food, etc., might be taken seriously. But a person who writes that everything is wrong is just plain vindictive.\r
