Bad Venue

Rated this place:

Although my wife and I planned our wedding very well, The Berkeley Church managed to screw it up. Not only did they charge us much more than they originally quoted, they didn't even deliver what they said they would.Our food was good, but only HALF of what we paid for was given to our guests. This was a problem someone else had and we were extra careful to highlight this issue to them. Somehow this fell on deaf ears.Also, we paid them to decorate the venue and although they had more than 24 hours to do so when we got to the venue an hour before our wedding there was still lots to do. They also lost some of our center pieces and certain tables had to go without.We paid for a late night buffet to serve 100 people and there was probably enough there for 20. They had to order PIZZA PIZZA. That's right folks, freshly delivered pizza at our (expensive) wedding.The worst of it all for me was the way they conducted themselves throughout the process. After we signed the contract we were not treated that well. Our wedding planner and chef were nice enough, but overall the customer service from the management team was pretty bad. If we had more time we definitely would have gone elsewhere, however all the really bad stuff surfaced closer to the wedding date at which point we were committed.I had a few people tell me not to use this venue, but when I went to check it out I really liked the space and the price definitely seemed right so I decided to do it anyways. Well the price ended up being way to high because much of what they told us was verbal and the contract we had was very general. They towered on new cost after new cost. I'm now one of those surprisingly many people who encourage engaged couples to stay away.
