If I could describe my experience with this place in one word it would be embarrassing⦠Let me explain. My wife and I decided to go with this venue because it is beautiful and weāve heard some good things from our friends that have visited before. We visited the venue multiple times prior to our wedding to make sure that everything was good to go for our big day. The manager that we booked the venue with assured me that there would be a groomsman suite upstairs with a restroom that I and my groomsmen would be able to get ready in before the wedding. This was great news for me because some of the guys planned on playing a round of golf before the wedding began. Unfortunately when me and the boys arrived to the venue and got upstairs we were greeted with an unpleasant surprise in the bathroom. My buddy came and let me know that the groomsmen suite had not been properly cleaned at all and brought me to see what he meant. The trash can near the toilet was completely full to the rim with other peopleās trash. The toilet was unsanitary and littered with hairs urine stains. The shower was extremely dirty and had hairs and dirt buildup around the bathtub.We decided that we were not going to shower due to the condition of the bathroom, so I immediately took photos and videos of the bathroom so that I could show the manager when we had time. I did not shower before my wedding, which was very frustrating. Also the last thing we wanted to do was inform my wife of what was going on upstairs in the bathroom because she would have had a breakdown, so we handled it like men and proceeded to get ready. I grabbed my razor and started to shave so at least I could have a clean face before the ceremony. (Iām bald btw) I look down and the sink is completely stopped up which was just plain gross. We finally got ready despite all of the obstacles in the bathroom and moved along to the ceremony and reception. Fast forward to the end of the wedding, the guest are leaving and I inform my wife of the situation that we had earlier. We decided to try and contact the manager so that we could show her in person what we had experienced. I showed her the videos and proceeded to escort her upstairs to show her how disgusting the bathroom was. I asked her if she would shower in this bathroom before her wedding and her answer was ā No, definitely not.ā I stated that itās been a long night and Iād like to revisit the conversation tomorrow after everyone has had some rest. She informed me that the owner would be in contact with us the following day. I get a phone call from the owner of the venue yesterday morning and he explained who he was and asked me to give details about the bathroom. After I explained the situation, he went on to say that if we would have stopped and contacted the manager, she could have had a crew come clean the restroom. Guys, keep in mind itās a wedding, the grooms have food, beverages, and decor upstairs and we were hanging out and starting to play pool and get ready. The last thing I need is for the entire upstairs hallway to smell like cleaning supplies while my guest are trying to enjoy themselves. Reviewed on 22-10-2023

Courtney Compton(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2015 I recently got married at Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom. I looked at many venues, but once I visited this one, I fell in love. From the gorgeous chandeliers in the ballroom to the beautiful view overlooking the mountains from a distance, I still have people discussing how incredible the place was. I would recommend this place not only to have amazing backdrops for pictures, but because the owner, staff, and wedding director made this experience top notch. Not once was I stressed because they literally handled everything (flowers, cakes, food..you name it!) If I ever had a question, I received a response within a short time frame.

Ms. Debbie and Misty are great coordinators! In spite of the rain, and having to move the ceremony inside, they made sure our day was still perfect as planned. The staff are awesome as well, they were very attentive to the guest and received many compliments. The food was delicious and the entire atmosphere was great.

Ashley Jackson-Johnson(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2013 Great all inclusive venue but the owner has a nasty attitude all the time.

Martika Skipworth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2012 I will say for the value we got the service was a steal. This is a family owned venue and they take pride in their work. I didn't have to worry one bit about how my wedding would go. I told them my ideas and they did the rest. I can honestly say nothing went wrong on my wedding day. Everything was perfect thanks to the lovely staff that jumped in where things needed to be done. If something did go wrong I had no idea. Debbie the owner always returned my calls in a timely manner. I will say that they do work with any kind of budget which is great. I was able to have my dream wedding for a fraction of the price. People are still talking about how beautiful the venue is.Needless to say I didn't have to pay much for decorations because it was already so beautiful . Reviewed on 07-09-2012
Jessica Quarles(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2011 Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. The owner of Mountain View, Debbie Lewis, met with us many months before the wedding to iron out all of the details. The catering and florist were provided by Mountain View. This took away a lot of stress because we didn't have to worry about hiring vendors and preparing our own decorations. The wedding coordinator, Misty, was there for us through the entire rehearsal and wedding. She answered every question that we had and insured that everything ran smoothly during our big day. I highly recommend this site to any bride and groom looking for a gorgeous, hassle free venue. I could not be happier with Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom and their wonderful staff.
