    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    On 2-3-24 we used Mellwood Arts Studio as our venue for our wedding. During the reception in the Van Goh Room we experienced multiple mice during the reception. During which multiple guesses came to report the issue. They also were found to be eating desserts stored under the dessert table. Which had to be thrown away due to then food safety issues. Several other issues such as cleanliness of dressing rooms, what is believed to be puke on a chair in the bridal suite, kitchen refrigerator not working, and freezer cleanliness. After speaking with site management it was agreed upon for a refund of 1000 to cover the wasted food and embarrassment caused by the situation. After 2 weeks of waiting and no refund we contacted site management again. During which Mellwood management expressed they would only be refunding 700 dollars. And that we had not agreed on 1000 but only said they would "work" for trying to get 1000.

    This business has unethical business practices. They can and will cancel your event booking at anytime. They canceled our wedding event in order to book a larger revenue producing event. This was done nearly two months after we signed a contract with them. They called and said that our room was already booked and that the previous booking was "forgotten". Not likely to say the least. This cancellation left us without a venue for our wedding and sent us scrambling for a new venue. We lost 2 months and many of the venues we were previously considering booked with other events. Read any contracts with them carefully because their rental agreement is VERY one sided and gives them the option of canceling you right up to the day of your event by simply refunding any deposit that you have given them. If they get a better deal....they will leave you hanging.
