Horrible Experience! unprofessional staff (for weddings and hall rental)! I recently called to schedule a appointment to show my mother and mother in law Curtis Hall Arboretum for my fiancé and myself for a wedding for next year. I spoke with a Miss Brown to see the hall a couple of days before and she told me to meet her at the property at 8:15am. So we agreed and I arrived with my family around at 8:00 am just so we could take a walk around the property and get a feel for how things would go for our wedding. I also told the "manager" that we were a very delicate couple being as tho we just lost our baby boy 2 months ago so we were looking for a beautiful place that we could celebrate our union being as tho we were still grieving. Any who, around 8:15 (Miss Brown still hasn't arrived) my mother and mother in law waited outside and a man walked up to open the place up and said he was only there to clean the bathroom. I then told them to just wait inside and sit down and I would wait for Miss Brown. The man put his hand to my mother face and said, NO NOT YET YOU CANT COME IN", in a very unpleasant matter. STRIKE ONE! So we waited and a older heavy set woman arrived (also with a very nasty and unprofessional attitude as well) let my parents come in and sit down. She claimed to be the manager of the property and said she would show us around. She showed us rooms by just pointing and mumbling. She had no desire on showing us this property and I was getting very upset, impatient and turned off! STRIKE 2! Lastly, it turned 8:45 STILL NO MISS BROWN! So we decided to complain to a very rude and flamboyant man who we found out was the supervisor of everyone. He talked to us with a loud tone and his hand on his hip. STRIKE 3 AND WE'RE OUT! Finally when we decided we had enough and got up and left out and we saw miss brown had finally arrived and was showing someone else the property on our appointment time!!!!!!! wow!!!! You know what was so disappointing about the experience?? The whole staff was African American and so am I and they treated their own kind like trash! SMH! I am marrying a Italian man and I was there with his mother and I was embarrassed that my own kind treated us in such a manner. I began to sob in the car because I was so disappointed and embarrassed. Luckily when we left we ran into a beautiful country club that was so warm and accommodating to my family and it was a blessing in disguise! So we took our 2,800$ that we were looking forward to using at Curtis Hall and went with MCCALLS Country club instead. Curtis hall is good for one thing and one thing only........walking dogs and taking pictures! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
