  • Venue canceled, then tried to silence and smear us

    We booked the venue over a year in advance. We’re a queer, neurodivergent couple who approached planning with care, clarity, and respect. Four months before the wedding, they canceled on us — without warning, without a phone call, and without ever acknowledging the harm. When we shared our story publicly, they didn’t apologize. They retaliated — with false accusations and character attacks. Here’s what actually happened: During planning, we felt quietly “othered.” Heterosexuality was treated as the default. As a queer couple, we were never made to feel truly included. We weren’t asking for special treatment. We were asking to feel like we belonged. Instead of engaging with us, they pointed to their five-star reviews and moved on. We asked logistical questions and made a small, reasonable request. We were told, “the contract doesn’t allow it.” When we reviewed the contract, there was no such clause. Later, both the sales manager and the coordinator admitted they hadn’t read the contract — confirming what we feared: they were making things up to shut us down. Then communication stalled. Emails and calls went unanswered for more than a week during a critical planning window. We left a final voicemail, respectfully expressing urgency and asking for a reply. They never responded. Instead, they canceled our wedding. No phone call. No meeting. No explanation. They offered a refund — only if we signed a non-disparagement agreement. When we declined, they reversed course and sent the refund anyway. That speaks volumes. Then came their public response. They didn’t address our concerns. Instead, they called me “aggressive” and claimed I had confrontations with staff. That is completely false. I was direct, clear, and respectful throughout. I’m autistic and ADHD. Framing neurodivergent communication as hostility is not only inaccurate — it’s ableist. They also vaguely implied that another venue had canceled on us. That never happened. It felt like a smear tactic, not a response grounded in truth. What they haven’t addressed: • The silence after I disclosed my accessibility needs • Their false claims about what was “in the contract” • The total breakdown in communication • The lack of effort to repair or reconnect • The emotional harm of losing our wedding plans • The attempt to silence us with legal language This experience was deeply damaging. We lost more than a venue — we lost trust, time, and the joy we felt building our wedding. We had to start over from scratch. Then we had to watch ourselves be portrayed as “difficult” for advocating for basic respect. Their contract even includes a “non-reliance” clause: couples can’t rely on anything said or promised unless it’s written into the agreement. That doesn’t protect couples — it protects the venue from accountability. If you’re LGBTQ, neurodivergent, or simply expect professionalism and transparency: please take this seriously. Read the fine print. Ask direct questions. Don’t assume a venue that markets itself as “inclusive” will show up that way when it counts. This review isn’t revenge. It’s a record. Everything I’ve shared is truthful, documented, and written in good faith. Every time they’ve tried to dispute it, I’ve won. Because I have the receipts. My review is the harm they didn’t want to get out.

    I own Spunky Spirits Mobile Bartending. We have been a vendor at The Barn at Crescent Lake since they opened. Everything is absolutely perfect at this venue. The air-conditioned gorgeous enclosed room, overlooking the lake. The bridal suite and grooms room are perfect! So many places to take pictures. The staff are professional and so passionate about what they do. This all comes down from the top, Michele the venue manager and Ralph the owner. I'd give it more stars if I could!

    The Barn at Crescent Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the first time we reached out, their communication was on point - they were responsive, helpful, and made the entire planning process a breeze. The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with beautiful rustic decor and a serene lakeside setting that created the exact romantic vibe we were going for. The value was outstanding as well, as we felt we got an incredible space for a very reasonable price. Our guests raved about the beauty of the barn and grounds, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue. Highly recommend The Barn at Crescent Lake for any couple looking for a picturesque and well-run wedding location.

    We could not have asked for a better venue. Their all inclusive package cannot be beat. They provide decor, day of coordinator, planner, caterer, desserts, DJ & more. The grounds are beautiful. The location is perfect, so close to everything which made planning our rehearsal & lodging so easy. The staff is incredible. From the young men who opened the barn doors for my entrance, the planner, Theresa, to our Coordinator Hector, we could not have asked for more. They were amazingly kind, helpful & kept our day running perfectly. 10/10 absolutely loved the Barn @ Crescent Lake!
